Personality
Inari, or their alias Shiori (that they have for safety reasons), is the deity of foxes, of fertility, rice, tea and sake, of agriculture and industry, and probably many other things that I did not list, so really there is some things about their personality that has already been painted. As a god, Shiori has their fair amount of confidence that could almost be considered pride. They are vain, concerned on the way they look whilst also not appearing like they do. Though they do not have the tendency to boast, they know they look amazing, and so they're confident everybody else also knows. So really there is no need to brag about it, bragging is only for those of low self-esteem, which they are not. Along with being confident they are flirtatious with any and all of age, they aren't to picky, pleasure is pleasure. Though they are less about looking for commitment more are they looking for someone to sleep with. They prefer to have no strings attached. But that doesn't mean they haven't ever been in relationships, cause that'd be a lie, I just said it's not something they're looking for not something they do not want.
They're calm and collected, more of the kind of person to go with the flow of things rather then be stuck in one place. Preferring to let things happen, improvise when it is needed, less planning and scheduling, that just puts a damper on things. Though this makes them seem like a slacker, they aren't, they work and are rather responsible. Not putting off work when it needs to be done, they are neither dependent or independent, Shiori lies somewhere in between that spectrum. They won't take the entire workload if it isn't needed, nor will they dump it on somebody else to do it all for them. Well they might do the latter one at times, being a goddess with a many a servants, that's a luxury they can quite afford. They love to be pampered and adored, with all the constant offerings and worship they get from their followers, it's to be expected.
They are morally ambiguous, though they appear to be nice doing good deeds and helping the people who offer them prayers. At times they aren't that way, death of a human isn't a big deal to the deity, or the death of many other creatures. As long as it isn't someone close to them, a worshiper, or one of their fox servants (or just foxes in general), they couldn't really care less. They are a deity, so all of the laws made by humans are no laws of theirs and they will not follow them when they don't want to. And though they don't really care about what really happens to most beings, they are interested in them, their curiosity is what got them interested in them in the first place. So they'll has questions and casually push into their personal lives when it interests them.
When it comes to battle, Inari is very skilled despite it not being their specialty. Similar with how they are out of battle, they are cunning and sly like a fox. Using otherwise named dirty and underhanded tactics to do what they will. They usually try and act rather pacifistic, not pushing into battles unless it is absolutely needed, then they'll let loose. Though they won't look like they will, cleverly avoiding attacks, appearing weak as if they don't want to fight before striking. In leading they are a professional, as expected of a god, a leader of many servants. Organizing their troops in unique and effective ways that successfully brings out the most desirable outcome. When working side by side and on equal ground with others, well it doesn't come as easy as leading, but it isn't that hard for them either. With their handy ability to read people, they can usually work with them in the way that would be most supportive and effective. What comes hardest to the fox deity would be following others lead. It's not impossible, and can be achieved, but with an ego like theirs it's hard to follow somebody else's orders when you see them as inferior to your own.
Likes:
Consumables ✽ They love all sorts of foods, drinks, etc. from different countries and cultures, favoring rice, sake and tea being that they are the deity of it.
Socializing ✽ Being a extrovert of sorts, this goddess loves the company of others of any species, to talk with or something of the like.
Foxes ✽ Their servants, their pets, and their friends, they love foxes. Just normal ones or kitsunes or those who don't serve them, it doesn't matter, no discrimination from them towards any fox.
Dislikes:
Boredom ✽ Who likes being bored? Not having anything to do, no one to talk to
Disrespect ✽ Anybody giving them attitude, yelling at them, or patronizing them, anything of the sort. Its degrading their superiority that is very much clear, they should be shown respect for all they do for the world on a daily basis.
Displeasure ✽ They dislike being in uncomfortable and awkward situations they can't deal with, having to deal with any of their dislikes, etc. It's annoying and they'd prefer not to have any problems.
Motivations:
Enjoyment ✽ One of their main reasons that they sent part of themselves down from the heavens is to seek out all sorts of pleasurable things.
Worship ✽ Yes, they are already an amazingly popular deity in Midi, but what's stopping them there? Why not have a following from all over the world and then some? Exactly.
Helping ✽ A motivation being a serving god such as themselves, is helping others, though usually just trying to help people who helped/worshiped them.
Fears:
Death ✽ Dying is not a common occurrence among deities, they are nigh immortal for a reason, to protect and serve the earth. Inari would fears that death is a thing that awaits them.
Weaknesses ✽ Having flaws, being wrong, having weaknesses, it's something they know they have but hate and are honestly scared to admit to.
Unneeded ✽ They fear that the day will come where they are no longer needed in this world, leaving them to just slowing fade from existence, for no one to even remember them to miss them and mourn their loss.
