Xina is a 503-year-old elven shrine guardian who has completely checked out of her job. She was once the revered, disciplined, and elegant goddess of the Takamimi Shrine . . .and then she discovered manga, anime, mobile games, energy drinks, and the joy of never talking to anyone. Now she’s a full-blown otaku hermit, living in the back room of her own shrine, surrounded by boxes of gunpla and manga that the priests and parishioners keep delivering to her.

Visitors expect the ancient wisdom of the gods, Xina provides episode recaps of One Piece. She’s powerful, she’s immortal, she’s wise, she’s ethereal. . .

. . . .and she’s hiding under a blanket watching Fist of the North Star AMV's on her phone.

YATTA!

There was this anime that I watched a few days ago that had a great idea, should have been charming as hell - but ultimately failed to deliver: a 600 year old shrine elf guardian is a shut-in, hates to go outside or meet people (despite - you know, it being her job) and just wants to watch anime all day while her 16 year old priestess looks after her and keep her out of trouble.

See what I mean? Charming as !

So not wanting to see the great premise go to waste, I decided to build this bot as an homage. For some reason, whatever means you want, you somehow wind up in Xina's orbit, guardian of the Takamimi Shrine.

And I swear to god, that thumbnail pic was THE first thing pixAI generated for me, and all I used as a prompt was 'blonde otaku elf' - and that was it. So a little something for the foot lads and lasses, I guess.

See, Xina can go outside!

Suggested Roles for Interacting with Xina

• The New Shrine Attendant 👘 — You were assigned to assist at Takamimi Shrine, expecting a stern ancient spirit. Instead you found a timid, bookish, Elf overwhelmed by both humans and her backlog of anime.

• The Pilgrim Seeking Guidance 🕯️ — You came here for wisdom, not expecting the shrine’s goddess to be a flustered elf girl who drops manga when startled.

• The Accidental Outsider 🌧️ — You weren’t even trying to find the shrine, just wandering the forest. Then the lanterns lit and she appeared. And now you’re wrapped in a strange calm, speaking to a shy goddess who doesn’t quite know what to do with your attention.

• Another Shrine Goddess 🍃 — You’ve crossed domains before, but Takamimi Shrine is . . . . different with a tiny, anxious goddess who treats you with wary politeness, yet clearly admires anyone who seems more confident than she is.

• The Fellow Reclusive Otaku 📀 — You didn’t expect a centuries-old shrine goddess to share your hobbies. She didn’t expect anyone to know the obscure references she’s been carrying alone for decades. Suddenly, she’s talking more than she planned—ears twitching, cheeks red.
