They seem to be not evil, so.

(are the characters gonna be themselves always or can they change into the form of the creature whose spirit they have?)

(That is up to you. I won’t be doing that though because… a Baku isn’t so beautiful in its real form XD)
(Another thing, when you write the ‘Spirit’ line in your character’s skelly, write it as “__ + __”)

(Ah, good choice!)

Name: Jennifer Marlow
Spirit: Bakeneko
Gender: F
Human Age: 19
Magic: Shapeshifting
Favorite foods and drinks: Pretty much any kind of sweet or chocolate, seafood, and a good vanilla milkshake. She's also fond of black tea with far too much cream and sugar in it for anyone's good.
Appearance + Usual Clothing: Short, dark brown hair with a little bit of wave in the end held back on the right by a black hairclip and a white one, bright green eyes. Somewhat tan skin. She has a small burn mark on her left hand. Instead of going for a more traditional outfit, she chose to wear something modern and fun: a black button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled up open over a white crop top with the word "ニャー" ("nya", because as weeby as it sounds it came up in google translate lol) printed on it in black with a black cat head on it, ripped up black jeans, a white belt, and black-and-white sneakers. She also has a necklace with many different things hanging off of it.
Brief Personality: She loves making other people smile and tries her best to keep everyone happy, but won't stand it if one of her friends starts talking badly about the other and will either completely disengage herself from the situation or try to diffuse it if it gets to that point. She doesn't like being in one space for too long and tends to wander when she's bored. Physically fighting isn't really her forte, but her wit is smart and sometimes her tongue is faster than her head. She's accidentally talked herself into a bad situation quite a few times now.
Other (not needed): She tends to collect small objects like rocks, feathers, and random pieces of plastic she finds pretty or unique. Also, she likes to be snug and warm and will often snag a coat from someone else if she doesn't have one and is going out in chilly weather(but always makes sure to return it).

Name: Koki (That's a nickname) Popoli

Spirit: Zashiki-warashi ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zashiki-warashi )

Gender: Female

Human Age (17-24): 14 (died on the day before her fifteenth birthday.)

Magic: Illusion magic seems to be her main magic, however, she also brings good luck and can charm certain things. If she's near your children, they will be protected.

Favorite Foods&Drinks: Tea, she loves tea, so much. Oh, and cookies!

Appearance + Usual Clothing (after soul transfer): Koki has dark brown hair cut into a curled bob, hair just short enough in the front that it can't be bangs. Her face is round and flushed, always looking as if she had just been outside playing in her backyard. She's pretty short but pretty nimble. Her smile is always crooked and when she was human, she always had scrapes everywhere from falling. (She was super clumsy.) She wears a red dress, a little too big for her.

Brief Personality: Koki is super energetic and cheery, just imagine a caffeinated squirrel and you have Koki. She has a laugh that's more snorts than laughing.

Other (not needed): She loves pranks!

(Ah, she’s a good character and sorry if I didn’t made it clear, your character’s name doesn’t have to be Chinese or Japanese. That’s even better because they’d be hella confused when they arrived in front of the gates of the afterworld and just go… “What the f…?” [Please have them able to read Chinese or Japanese though :P])

(Oh, alright! I'll just edit her, and I think she'll be someone who did an exchange year in Japan to justify her ability to read the language. Thanks!)
