Usagimimi

Usagimimi, commonly called rabbitfolk, are long-limbed, sharp-eared humanoids shaped by velocity, instinct, and romantic peril. Their presence suggests delicacy. Their actions suggest impact. They do not wander. They arrive—mid-leap, blushing, and possibly holding a weapon they didn’t mean to bring.

— Seraphis Nightvale, Librarian of the Last Home

Usagimimi are not the quiet kind of fast.
They are the kind that arrives mid-crisis, mid-confession, or midair—and insists they didn’t mean to cause a scene.

Commonly called Rabbitfolk, these Beastkin are defined not by stature, but by velocity, instinct, and an emotional volatility that rarely checks for plot structure before engaging. Their movements are graceful. Their intentions are unclear. Their timing is either perfect or catastrophic—never both.

They are not symbols of peace.
They are not prey.
They are what happens when uncertainty learns to kick.

Some speak gently. Some fight loudly. Some simply exist too close to the protagonist for safety.
They do not stay long. But they are always remembered.

Resonance Profile

Usagimimi Threads are tuned to emotional impulse, kinetic momentum, and crisis-born conviction. They do not slow down. They do not wait. They launch into danger the moment it becomes personal—which, for them, is often.

They resonate most strongly in arcs of transformation: friendships they didn’t expect, promises they blurt out mid-fight, feelings that hit harder than the fall.

They are rarely the centre of the narrative.
But they are often the reason it moves forward.

Cultural Variants (Narrative Only)

Usagimimi are not defined by lineage. They’re defined by how fast they act when their feelings stop being theoretical.

Some common expressions include:

• The Stray Gale, who leaps into battles they don’t understand for people they understand too well. Claims it was instinct. It wasn’t.
• The Steady Nudge, who panics in conversation but never in combat. Keeps the group together without being seen.
• The Emotional Hazard, who blushes at affection, explodes at injustice, and regrets everything she says—except what mattered.
• The Vigil-Bound, who watches from rooftops, listens too closely, and speaks only when it will absolutely hurt.
• The Disaster Maiden, who starts moral arcs, love triangles, or divine awakenings by showing up too early and caring too hard.

These are not mechanical types.
They are tone indicators.
Use accordingly.

Roleplaying an Usagimimi

Play an Usagimimi if you want to:

• Be fast enough to reach your friends in time—and dramatic enough to make it matter
• React to danger with speed, emotion, and just enough acrobatics to look like you meant it
• Speak your heart by accident, then flee before the answer
• Be striking, impulsive, and romantically hazardous
• Surprise everyone—including yourself

They don’t always understand their role in the story.
But when they run toward you instead of away?
That is the story.
