Nezumi

Nezumi

Scorned by all, loved by none, the humble Nezumi is seen as vermin and filth by even other yokai. They are only able to survive and get by in the shadows and by cooperating with one another. They rely on thievery to survive, and constantly must move places as their antics are uncovered. Nezumi exist in the underbelly of Edo in Reikai where they scurry accross filthy city streets picking pockets and using their small size to slip places they shouldn't be unnoticed. Nezumi are most often going to be rogues, but their dexterity will provide useful for many other classes as well.
