Background

Kyomi was born amongst the stars - or so she says. The truth is that she doesn't know where she's from, only that she was found in a storage locker on a small cargo vessel that had exited Drift space near Absalom Station. The ship had suffered significant damage. It was only by sheer luck that the ship was able to exit the Drift, and the ship's engines were barely functional, with life support having failed completely. There were signs of violence and torn apart bodies, appearing as if the crew had been attacked by some kind of beast that had gotten on board during the voyage. The leading theory is that during the Drift travel they crossed some hostile plane and were attacked by creatures, causing the death of most of the crew who likely fought them off but not before taking heavy losses and ship damage that included damaging the life-support systems. Those who didn't die a violent death died shortly after life-support filed, with Kyomi the only survivor as she was wearing a simple magical amulet (as it turns out, a Spell Amulet containing the Life Bubble spell) that provided her with magically created life support that allowed her to survive after the ship's life support systems failed. The amulet had iconography of the deity Desna, and was her most cherished childhood item - her only link to her family origins.

Kyomi was raised in an orphanage in Botscrap, a rough and tumble part of Absalom Station. Growing up, she struggled to find her place in the world, feeling like an outsider among the other children. It wasn't until she was in her adolescence that she went through her first change, experiencing strange and confusing sensations as she transformed into her true form as a kitsune. She was frightened and alone, not understanding what was happening to her. That's when another kitsune appeared to her, an older and more experienced member of their race who had sensed her distress. The older kitsune explained to Kyomi what she was and helped her through the confusing process of her first change and taught her how to switch betwen the "tailless form" she had worn her entire life, and her true form. But the older kitsune had to leave shortly afterward, and Kyomi was left alone once again.

Entering her teen years, Kyomi soon learnt the harsh realities of survival in the gritty and dangerous streets. Determined to prosper, she learned to fend for herself using her natural wits and agility, and became skilled at pickpocketing and theft to survive. She also learnt how to navigate the complex web of rival Goblin and Ysoki street gangs, which she often dealt with to get by. As she grew up, she began having dreams of a blue and white amulet, and some investigating revealed to her the truth about her origins, of which she had been told very little growing up. The amulet was supposed to have been put into storage as Kyomi's only known family heirloom, but corrupt employees had stolen it. Kyomi managed to trace it to having been sold to Lhana "Diamond" Nokoriso, an Ysoki merchant with suspected links to the Golden League crime syndicate.

Kyomi's life took a dramatic turn when she decided to steal back what she thought was rightly hers. She infiltrated Diamond's business, managed to find the amulet gathering dust in a storage room containing other "acquired" items, and retrieved it. In the process, however, she got spotted, and being chased by armed thus stole an enercycle to get away. This was how Kyomi discovered her natural aptitude for piloting as she was chased by pursuing gang members through the streets of Botscrap, but somehow managed to outmaneuver her pursuers and crash-landed near her orphanage. Despite her brave escape, however, young Kyomi had done little to cover her tracks and soon after Lhana turned up at her orphanage with a few goons. Impressed by Kyomi's piloting skills, and stubborn refusal to return "her" amulet despite the overwhelming physical threat, Lhana let Kyomi keep the item in return for agreeing to doing jobs for her as a thief and Junkracer pilot - and effectively took her under her wing, providing her with training, guidance, and becoming a form of adoptive aunt to her.

Her aptitude for piloting (and Lhana's connections) led to her becoming a dockyard pilot, exposing her to more types of starships and increasing her proficiency, and later became a freelance pilot - although a lot of her initial work involved stealing ships or otherwise aiding Lhana's ability to illicitly acquire ships or goods. During one particularly harrowing spaceflight, Kyomi found herself clutching her amulet and praying to Desna, the goddess of travel and luck, for safe passage. Miraculously, she made it through the ordeal unscathed, and from then on, she found herself drawn to the faith of Desna, believing that the goddess was watching over her and guiding her on her journeys. This led her to investigate the amulet further and begin to dabble in Technomancy to enhance her natural magical abilities, and be able to tap into the spell encoded into the amulet, the same spell that saved her life when she was a child.

Although content with her life, she wanted more than to work the dockyards and do jobs for Lhana, and so Kyomi decided to check out the Starfinder Society, hoping to scratch the itch to travel amongst the stars and see many exciting new starships.
