Chopirako
House of the Yurei yokai
Chopirako is the main spirit of the house. Chopirako is the ghost of a grifix which tends to whine all the time but most entertainers just ignore her. If a customer misbehaves and the entertainer cries or is hurt, she will attack the customer, because other grifix’s whines bother her very much, but she may also attack the entertainer for the same reason. It is very important that nobody cries or whines in the house for she will get upset and wreak havoc around the house. She doesn’t like hearing grifix talk, but she can’t stand at all hearing the sound of distress.
Chopirako was the mother of an old entertainment house. The building started to crumble and the customers stopped coming so all the entertainers left, leaving the old mother alone. She kept on living there, mumbling and whining about her fate all the time.
Grifix in the Entertainment District used to say to each other: “take care of your house and fix what is broken, or you will reach the same fate like Chopirako!”.
She lived a long time, and grifix started to think “she is so old, why won’t she die already?” But nobody ever found her dead body.
Nowadays they say Chopirako is still alive, or that her own ghost buried the body, but she has always lived there since anybody can remember.
In reality, she probably died at some point, but because nobody found the body, people kept believing she was there, so the magic in the air manifested at the beginning into a copy of the old mare, then later evolved into the strange being that is known today.
Because her death was never recorded, she is still the owner of the house, but a new mother took over and fixed up the house eventually. Still, the house has gathered many myths and spirits over the time, and apeasing them is much easier than working against them.
