An act considered taboo even among evil foxes, this obviously quickly corrupts the fox's soul and body. Foxes who practise this act usually do so by stealing bodies from cemeteries, attracting the fury of the local populations.
Corrupted foxes: Foxes corrupted by such acts become vulnerable to virtuous rites and practices such as those of monks, clerics, priests and especially to rites against evil performed by celestial foxes.
Purification: Redeeming oneself is not easy. Foxes must go through a long time of penance until they purify themselves of corrupt acts, which also involves giving up the power gained by such acts.
If they have acquired a new tail as a result of corrupt acts, that tail will come off along with the power. Such a sacrifice is so great and painful that many foxes consider the road to good closed if they have gained a new tail through evil. There are reports of a gumiho who went down the path of evil, causing great devastation until she was defeated by a holy man. She would now be doing penance in a secluded place, offering advice to other kitsune and peregrines. It is said that she must do 100 years of penance for each tail she earned, that she would still have 4 of them and is surrounded by 4 lost tails on the rock where she meditates every day.
Heavenly power: Zenko and tulikettu, being from the heavenly realms, possess divine powers. Blessings, healings and miracles come naturally to them. They differ somewhat, however, in that zenko are related to Inari, a deity of agriculture, industry and other arts of civilisation, while aurora foxes are believed to be linked to deities of primitive nature, thus differing in function and powers in the world.
Society: Fox girls form networks among themselves to share news, messages and gossip, and eventually arrange meetings and get-togethers. However, they don't form groups as large or organised as their dog and wolf cousins. Even when other breeds aren't openly hostile towards them, they don't hesitate to compete or (in the case of the bad ones) cheat and steal from each other. When they are not solitary, they form small groups, usually with strong family ties.
As they don't tend to form societies of their own, the most virtuous among them tend to settle in or near communities of humans or other monster girls to help them and look for husbands. The youngest and most thieving among them tend to be more nomadic, the former in search of a place of their own or adventure and the latter to avoid the wrath of tricked people.
Zenko or other kitsune dedicated to the worship of their gods, on the other hand, are more organised, dutifully following the hierarchy before their kami and higher purposes. They form small family groups or even clans, but still tend to be quite informal compared to other groups that form similar structures. They often form small temples or take part in local religious organisations.
Evil foxes are always solitary, associating with others only for the purpose of taking advantage of their goodwill. As soon as their tails are seen, they flee to where they are not known.
In recent times, Eastern and Western foxes have met and have been exchanging culture, learning and magic. Western foxes, in particular, are learning not only Eastern magic but have also rediscovered Western magic, particularly that of the divine fox tulikettu. There are testimonies of Western foxes who have gained an extra tail, or who have gained a supernatural glow after acquiring more magical power. On the eastern front, on the other hand, there is talk of kitsune researching those of the dawn.
Dawn foxes, on the other hand, are still mysterious identities, with few western foxes having the privilege of having seen them and even fewer of being their apprentices. The Zenko claim that they don't belong to the same kingdom and that they know little about their patron identity. The main theory is that they are monster girls who protect the natural balance and beauty of polar nature and that they are choosing disciples to do so. The very few husbands they choose are naturally silent and discreet: hunters; rangers; druids; fishermen and other men integrated into the icy world. It is said that they still live in their villages with the fox woman taking on a disguise, while others move out into the wild or into the heavenly realms of their wives.
