Physical description:
Radhiya has a natural beauty about her, the kind that comes not through effort, but merely good fortune. Despite her attractive appearance, her actual figure is surprisingly modest. She's lean, but not skinny, and has plenty of mass to fill out her curves. Her chest is large and shapely, but not excessive, and the same applies to her hips and rear end. One thing she does have in excess is curves. The angles of her hips, her thighs, her entire body in fact, are smooth and toned. She has some muscle, as well, especially in her thighs and abdomen, but she still appears light. Her paws have five fingers and fingernails just like a human hand, but her feet are entirely fox-like. Inside her mouth, her tongue and skin is a dark pink that borders on purple, which applies to all her other skin should you see it without fur. Her tail is long and heavy as is any fox's, but she has the distinction of hers being opposable. Stronger than any other part of her body, she can pick up things even heavier than herself with it. In her chest, between her breasts, is set an emerald-like gem, but very deeply into her fur so that it is generally unnoticeable. It has a dull colour, no luster.

Her face is entirely fox, there are no traces of human features. Though sometimes obscured by abundant, curly hair of chestnut brown, what is visible is always very striking. Her nose and mouth are petite in appearance, giving her the appearance of a young girl, but her ears and eyes are the opposite. Her ears are long and perk right out of the great sea of headfur atop her head, while her golden eyes are the sort that seem deeper and larger with every moment you look into them. She has seen a lot in her many years, and this is reflected in them in the form of depth and intensity of gaze. In fact, her inherent gentleness often does not manifest in time before her eyes have frightened those she meets.

Radhiya's fur is unique among foxes in its mere excess. She is a very furry girl, seeming to be perpetually covered in winter fur. The orange of her fur gives her the appearance of fire, especially if she is moving quickly, and all throughout the orange she has very strong red highlights. Her front side and the tip of her tail are of course a creamy white, and the colour never seems to be dirtied, always bright, almost glimmering. She has both 'gloves' and 'stockings' on her limbs, in a black as strong and sharp as the other colours upon her. Their pattern is actually asymmetrical, for her left side has a short black sock and a long glove that reaches to her elbow, while her right side is the opposite, with a long stocking up to her knee and a short glove that ends just after the wrist. Her breasts are partially obscured by a large, white fluff, which ends just to the sides of her nipples, and her pubic area is mostly concealed by fluffy, soft fur.

In her travels, she has picked up several accents, and rather than settle upon one, she has the tendency to alternate between them without intending to, or sometimes even combine them. Her four more prominent ways of speaking resemble the human world accents of Russian, African, Irish, and Chinese. However her words come out, she always seems to deliver them musically, as if singing rather than merely speaking, and her sentences often even have a rhythm and structure. That's also an unconscious tendency.

Those who have come close to Radhiya often remember another thing. She as a fruity scent, mild when just passing by her but very pleasant and intense if you were to lean right in and sniff her fur. It resembles a combination of apples and pears. As well as just smelling nice, her scent has the unique ability to sooth those around her, to make them feel safe and at ease. It also allows for those feeling strong emotions, such as aggression or despair, to calm down. The scent also is her flavour, but a tongue caressing her body would find a bit of a zing to her as well, like cinnamon.

One might not guess Radhiya's true nature simply to meet her in passing. She seems simply a highly youthful and carefree vixen at first glance, but she is not exactly normal. Immortality is granted to her by the gem set in her chest, healing her from any injury, even those which destroy the body, and all without pain. The gem itself has always proven indestructible. The ordinary bodily needs of a mortal do not apply to her; she does not need to eat, drink, or sleep, but she sometimes chooses to do all of these merely for the pleasure they bring her.

History:
Nearly a century and a half ago, Radhiya was no more than just another girl born into a poor but loving family. She was a bit of a surprise for her parents, showing up a decade after her the last of her other siblings was born. Because the age difference, she was almost immediately adopted by her two older brothers, Gyasi and Lutalo, and grew up pampered but never spoiled, and thanks to the influence of her brothers, she matured much faster than an ordinary girl. Her family was not at all wealthy, and struggled at times just to eat. That meant the young foxes had to find ways to entertain themselves, and so, living in a place that had hardly seen the intrusion of civilization at all, and always tagged along on the boys' many adventures into places unknown. It was in her youth that she discovered her passion for exploration and what could be seen, just over that next hill.

Another little side-effect of her early maturation meant that the more taboo things in life began to interest far before normal. Gifted with a wild imagination that was further developed by necessity in the relative boredom of a simple life, she began to fantasize. Before she had even reached two digits of age, she would spend her evenings thinking about friendly wild animals to cuddle and play with, but what she especially liked the thought of was being eaten right up by them. It was something she didn't understand for years. Living mostly in isolation but for her family, she certainly had never heard of anyone else liking it, and so she kept it to herself, enjoying it but never knowing why. When she got older, her fantasies grew more than just playful in nature - they became sexual, and as much as she enjoying thinking about the act of sex itself, it was the eating that always made her climax while her fingers or makeshift toys explored her insides.

It was one little mistake that changed the course of her life. In her travels with her brothers, they often were away from home for so long that they had to feed themselves on whatever was available. Roots, mushrooms, fruit, whatever the forest had to offer. While she had been taught well about all the many edible things in the world, her teaching had not been perfect, and so when she stumbled upon a tree bearing fruit she could have sworn she had eaten before, she did not hesitate. When her brothers found her eating from that tree, they were at once greatly anguished and panicked. Poison, they said. Death. They rushed their little sister home, but could do nothing to help her. Her and her family thought she was going to die. They sat in watch over her for the evening, tenderly reminiscing of all the good times had together, but none of them could bring themselves to say goodbye.

In the morning, she woke up. She did not remember when she had fallen asleep, but when she found her family sprawled around her in their chairs, having been unable to resist the call of slumber themselves, she soon realized she had not passed. Quickly, she woke her family, and they rejoiced in their little miracle girl, wishing they worshiped a god so they could praise someone. For years, they never spoke of the incident again, and life went on as normal. Radhiya grew through her adolescence smoothly, and became a grown vixen. Eighteen years old, she had become a staggering beauty, a true pride for her parents. Neither she nor her brothers had anywhere to go. They had known the one small community their whole lives, and so there they remained, supporting their parents as they aged. Years passed, and yet Radhiya's beauty did not fade. Her parents' fur grayed, her brothers' features grew rougher with their age, but she never showed sign of any years passing.

At first, she was renowned for her ability to preserve her beauty, asked by many who knew her "what's your secret?", but the youthfulness just came naturally to her. Years and years, and the phenomenon went from incredible to unnatural. Her parents were old and withered, her brothers well into middle age. She should have been in her forties, but she still looked as young and fresh as ever. Moreover, she was beginning to notice something. The way she felt things in the world, it just seemed different. At what should have been the age of 44, that it first appeared. Beneath her fur, set in her chest, was a soulstone. She should have noticed it before - but there was something supernatural about it that prevented her. It was a thing of legend, a bedtime story for the young, but she knew what it meant. That brush with death so many years ago had for whatever reason rendered her immortal. She did not know whether it was the intervention of some unseen cosmic being, destiny, or simply luck.

As she watched those she knew and loved aging around her, she soon grew more and more distraught, cursing her beauty and youthfulness. At the chronological age of 49, she cast herself off the highest cliff she could find. Her body was mangled and crippled when it landed, but she felt no pain, and moreover, she lived on. The stone set in her chest soon restored her to health, and she wept bitterly upon the jagged rocks. She would live to see all that she cared for pass away without her.

Her family bestowed on her gifts by which to remember them, and died off, one by one. She finally left the place, pressing on into the distant unknown, soon reaching farther than she ever had with her brothers. She should have been 77 years old, and she has been alone ever since, seeking distant adventure and the unknown in hopes of coping with her curse of life.

Personality:
It is honestly hard to tell that Radhiya is as old and experienced as she is, as she still tends to come across as the youthful vixen she appears to be. While often bubbly and cheerful, now that she has had many years to learn how to deal with her way of life, she is prone to mood swings at times. It is not often any personal fault of those around her, but rather the mere nature of one who has lived so long and seen so much. It embarrasses her, but sometimes the strain of never leading a normal life gets to her. Most of the time, however, she's very pleasant to be around, warm and friendly.

Radhiya's solace is other people. She is quick to feel a romantic connection to anyone who shows her kindness, and indeed is prone to falling in love with multiple people at once. It is always painful for her to think that someday she will outlive you, but now she has resigned herself to enjoying her eternal life one moment at a time. Even if you will someday die, she wishes to bring you happiness for as long as she can. She has a highly gentle, passive nature to her, and would never do anything to hurt anyone intentionally. At the same time, she is a tad indulgent, but would be hurt by the term 'slut'. It's mostly just strong affection that leads her to such a variety of experiences. Though she feels strongly towards those she loves, she could never attach herself to one single individual, for she knows that someday they will be gone. Instead, she opts for the enjoyment of closeness with as many people as possible.

Although she is often youthful in behaviour, there are times when her age manifests in the form of maternal instincts. Unable to give birth for herself, she has a tendency to 'adopt' those who cannot care for themselves, or simply wish for someone to care for them. She can be at the same time a nervous, shy girl as well as a strong, protective vixen. She truly does wish to do something with the infinite years she has been given, but rather than try to change the whole world at once, she opts to make people happy, one at a time. Those with great pains in their life draw her like a siren song.

Since you made it so far, here's a song that I think fits her quite nicely!
