Fluffy, huggable tails. Sleeping comforted by them, a man can wake up in many ways: restored, tired or robbed...
Fox women have different essences to go with their beauty: thieves, seductresses or protectors. All of them, however, possess a legendary cunning, told in many stories and which has earned them many enemies.
Origins: The story of fox girls begins in two parts of the world. In the East and West, they possessed wit and smarts that got them out of trouble and a pride that got them into it. There were bad and good, selfish and generous. Although their personalities were similar on each side of the Earth, their histories and abilities differed.
In the wild kingdoms of the West, where animals talked, foxes were always known as thieves and tricksters. They survived and amused themselves by tricking other animals into stealing their food, acquiring treasures and getting themselves out of trouble and the consequences of their adventures. They flattered lions, deceived wolves and stole from crows. They weren't very good at knowing when to be honest and didn't always prevail. Although they were clever, their pride tended to underestimate the intelligence of their opponents, such as the rooster and the heron. They also had little power against honest people who didn't want to talk, like dogs. Although there were foxes who used their wits to help naïve friends, there were still many whose actions coloured the race as a whole.
In these times, a certain male fox has gained notoriety. Reynard the Fox, a notorious trickster, called a "people's hero" by some, in his adventures he humiliated corrupt clerics and aristocratic animals, stealing their possessions, seducing their unfaithful wives and bringing his enemies to a deserved end, inspiring the peasants to justice and bringing down the mask of morality of oppression.
Other stories and opinions, however, paint Reynard as an amoral scoundrel who didn't distinguish between the guilty and the innocent, whether they were priests, kings, workers or peasants in his terrible schemes. A thief, murderer, seducer and rapist, Reynard would have been an example only for the spiteful and perverse who only needed methods and excuses to cast their evil on the land. His cynical stories show nothing but an amoral world whose value lies only in providing gluttony and pleasure for the cleverest and cruelest among those who live in it.
Whatever the truth, it is agreed that this figure was one of those most responsible for the schism between wolves and foxes. The successive humiliations of Ysegrim the Wolf have been told and passed on. In addition to other mishaps with clever foxes, these stories permanently soured the relationship between the two species. Many wolves today, when in conflict or doubt with foxes, simply prefer to close their ears and beat them up (or worse) rather than risk being tricked.
The legend of the hunt:
Life for foxes had become miserable. After Reynard, no animal was willing to lend its ear or goodwill to them. Wolves, dogs, bears, badgers, lions, roosters and rabbits put their differences aside to hunt down the cunning ones, whether they were good or not.
A young female fox fled into the middle of an icy forest, pursued by wolves. Her escape meant little, as the cold, hunger, injuries and sorrow brought her down. She cursed her pursuers, she cursed Reynard and all her dishonest relatives. She lamented what seemed to be the fate of her race.
In the midst of the snow, a black shape appeared before her, surrounded by beautiful lights. A fox the like of which she had never seen before. The fox with the beautiful lights approached, there was compassion in its eyes, but judgement in its voice:
"Hard times will come to foxes and all animals. You will not survive in the form you are in. You will be given a form that will please the most powerful beings in the world and you will live under their protection. But you must submit to them in the same way as their females must. Therefore, only women will be born among the foxes, because compassion for our men has run out. Do you wish life for our species? "
She answered "yes".

They despise honest people as slaves to meaningless morals, using the law and their own honesty to cheat them. They regard the virtuous as liars and hypocrites who only need an opportunity and the right kind of darkness to give in to corruption. They "love" the innocent as easy victims and love to break their hearts.
Foxes who have given in to evil are arrogant beings who consider themselves smarter than all other creatures. They deceive not only to gain advantages over others, but for the very pleasure of deceiving. They take advantage of other people's goodwill both to attack and to protect themselves, and run away when they see that patience has run out. They steal not only material goods, but also the hearts of husbands and boyfriends of other monster girls and women. Their "hero" is the famous and infamous Reynard, portrayed by them as a noble soul who fought against the tyranny of the nobility and the clergy.
The evil kitsunes of the East have men as their favourite victims. Some disguise themselves as women of other races, while the pipe foxes possess them to seduce their targets and drain their energy, an act that accelerates the growth of their magical power which sickens and eventually kills the man who falls victim to it. The more powerful the fox, the more powerful the men it demands. Tamamo-no-Mae was the pinnacle of this type of behaviour, having seduced and drained the emperors of several countries, causing disasters as a ruler. Some foxes resort to the infamous expedient of devouring the internal organs of dead men (by themselves or for other causes) in order to grow rapidly. Obviously, with the small number of men in the world compared to women, these devourers of energy and flesh are hunted down mercilessly when discovered.

The colours vary according to the individual. Although there is an obvious offensive purpose for this type of magic, fox girls prefer to put it to creative uses. Lighting up paths, putting on light shows, an affectionate warm-up for honest foxes or tricking travellers by luring them onto dangerous trails and making use of light games to seduce, hypnotise and delude victims in the case of tricksters. Aurora foxes are said to be great with this power.
Jewel of the fox: Foxes versed in magic, when they grow in power, manifest a magical jewel known as a "hoshi no tama" or "star sphere". This sphere is well looked after by the foxes who possess it, as it is a centrepiece of their power. There are reports that this sphere only appears when the fox reaches a certain number of tails, most commonly seven.
Foxes hide these spheres in the fur of their tails and they only appear when their owners make great use of their power or when their owners are experiencing very intense feelings (ranging from moments of energy theft to true, intense love). In these moments it is possible to steal a fox's jewel, which greatly cuts its magical power and can even make her sick and kill her (which causes the jewel to disappear). A fox, good or bad, that has its jewel taken will honestly fulfil a promise made to it in order to get it back. If the thief refuses to give it back, either by breaking the deal or by refusing it outright, he will acquire a mortal enemy:
>"Confound you!" snapped the fox. "Give me back my ball!" The man ignored its pleas until finally it said tearfully, "All right, you've got the ball, but you don't know how to keep it. It won't be any good to you. For me, it's a terrible loss. I tell you, if you don't give it back, I'll be your enemy forever. If you do give it back though, I'll stick to you like a protector god."
Transformation: Kitsune are naturally skilful with transformation magic, using it to disguise themselves as other people and even as other creatures and objects. The transformation ability inherent to their race, however, has some flaws. Their physical abilities are not positively altered; a fox transformed into a bear will still have the strength of a fox. Furthermore, when inexperienced, transformations tend to be imperfect (forgetting to change ears, fox eyes, fox-coloured hair) and when emotionally agitated (for example when in love, or about to deceive someone) these imperfections in disguise, particularly the appearance of the tail, tend to manifest themselves.
That said, with practice, foxes can adopt a wide variety of shapes and sizes ranging from living beings to inanimate objects. One simple use of foxes with many tails is to hide some of them for convenience (so as not to bump into them in various places). A certain six-tailed kitsune, considered a master of the art, can disguise herself as a small ant up to a large tree.
Magic: Fox girls have a great aptitude for magic. Those that reached legendary levels of power were even capable of generating natural disasters such as the infamous Tamamo-no-Mae. Fox magic is naturally attuned to illusions, tricks and deception. This doesn't do much for the breed's reputation. This power, however, does not necessarily have to be used for evil, and foxes can very well learn other varieties of magic.
Possession: A magical art well known to the kuda-gitsune, it consists of transforming into an astral form and possessing the body of a living being. When hitching a ride, foxes can try to steal control of the body for themselves, but such an act is not only unlikely to succeed, requiring the fox to be much stronger spiritually than the owner of the body, it is also harmful to both parties and extremely apparent. What usually happens is that the fox hitches a ride to travel without risk, fleeing if trouble arises. Others influence the actions of the possessed in a subtle way, planting ideas and temptations, turning their attention to the fox's objects of desire. If the influence takes too long, the possessed person and the fox begin to weaken because one body has to support two spirits. The person taken also begins to take on the features of the possessing fox, possibly alerting friends, family and clerical groups who will arrange a successful exorcism.
Draining energy: Kitsune can drain vital energy through acts of intimacy. They cannot drain a healthy man to death all at once, carrying out the process over a long period of time, doing so discreetly so that it appears that the man is falling ill from natural causes. The vital energy drained can be used as food to sustain the fox's life, but in general it is used to increase its power. Foxes who do this risk the corruption of their own souls, a sure thing if she causes a victim to fall ill or die.

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.

Female foxes are initially categorised into Eastern and Western. Eastern foxes descend from a race that has apparently always consisted of only female individuals, while Western foxes initially consisted of an even split between the sexes, with one of their most (in)famous figures belonging to the male sex.
Although there is this distinction in origins, monstrologists have found that when they are still young and without magical power, the differences between western and eastern foxes are quite small. Just as a queen bee is distinguished from the workers by what she feeds on, magic has a huge effect on a fox's body
Ethnicities of fox women: Tails and hair of different colours: red, white, gold, silver, sand, black...; ears of different sizes and shapes; adapted to environments such as deserts, forests and tundras. There are as many types of fox girls as there are different foxes, and each monster girl usually lives in the same habitat as its corresponding animal.
Western fox: Fox, raev, zorra, kettu, fuchs, vulpea, rebane... for every language there are words for them: the cunning canids who cause trouble in hen houses and the beautiful girls who cause trouble for men. The fox girls of the West have inherited the slyness and teasing spirit of the foxes in the fables, but fortunately they are not as cruel as the animals in the stories, for the most part. Wolves and dogs who say they don't like them say that they have to pretend to be honest so that they don't become useful as fur coats.
Rivalries aside, in the West, fox girls are known for their adventurous and provocative spirit that grows in wisdom if it survives youth. They are troublemakers when immature, but as they mature and form bonds, they become solution-makers and when they get over the mentality that everyone is a cheat, they form bonds of friendship with ease.
Tulikettu: A particularly elusive fox, it existed in a cold country with very long winters. During the day it had dark fur, but at night its fur glowed with beautiful lights and fires. As it raced like the wind across the night sky, it lit it up with dawn. Called Tulikettu, she was sought after by human hunters who believed they would be blessed with fortunes if they caught her.
To this day very little is known about her, stories and legends are very rare. There are reports of a Tulikettu who ascended to the heavenly realms with her husband, while others live deep in the boreal forests. The extent of their abilities and power is not known, as they are quite discreet when assisting humans and other monster girls. Many western foxes seek them out to learn from them or to steal their powers.
Eastern kitsune: The term that has become most popular to refer to the foxes of the far east is "kitsune", but there are other words used by the nations there such as "huli jing" and "hô`ly tihn" in the same way as those here.
Oriental foxes have the same archetype of cleverness as their Western cousins. They differ in that they are skilled in the magical arts, particularly those of transformation and illusion, which helps them in their schemes. This side of the world is also where the foxes with many tails originate.
Yako: Kitsune who are predisposed to cheating, trickery and other malicious activities. They aren't necessarily evil, but they are disruptive and like to mess with social conventions. They don't stick to any rules in order to seduce the man they fancy, not even the commitment they have for another woman. Yako girls can mature and enter good paths without losing their attitude, but if they don't have a guide, they can often be seduced by evil and commit increasingly perverse acts.
Kuda-gitsune: Smaller than their relatives, they are a race of kitsune capable of shrinking even further in size and living in small tubes. They usually serve a master. They are highly skilled in the arts of stealth, both mundane and magical: espionage, theft, invisibility, illusion, etc. They are also very adept at possession and suggestion. They are therefore a dangerous bet as servants, because they try to influence their masters in their own cause. They can also attract the wrath of neighbours to the house they live in simply by being there, as the family can be accused of theft and influence through witchcraft.

It is said that there are many of these fallen foxes in the region and that any demon hunter who goes there will find either fortune or an early death.
Zenko: Celestial foxes who serve Inari Okami, a kami linked to fertility, rice, tea, sake, agriculture and industry. These fox women come to the world to help humanity and monster girls. They bless and help women who want to have children or who are already pregnant. They also help workers, especially dedicated, tired and exhausted ones. They differ greatly in personality from other fox girls in that they are more orderly, homely, fixed to their land and averse to dishonesty. However, they are still clever, both in their creativity in carrying out jobs and in outsmarting those who want to cheat them. More than one common fox girl has fallen flat on her face for considering them "naïve little saints. "
Characteristics:
Teeth and claws: All fox women have these natural weapons. "A fox without teeth is a tongue without protection. "
Agility: Unlike their dog and wolf cousins, when it comes to physical ability, fox girls don't possess brute strength beyond the ordinary. Instead, they stand out for their uncanny agility.
To fight, they opt for martial arts and weapons that complement their great mobility and always prefer to dodge rather than block an attack. A common joke and legend is that some common ancestor of the canid girls married a cat and the foxes would be their descendants.
Cunning: The cunning fox stereotype is not without merit. As a breed, they are naturally adept at social games. Bluffs, disguises, hiding, diplomacy, seduction, acting, etc. It's a discreet but great power and one that has more than once seduced foxes into evil. But it is also something that can understand and soothe hearts, protect, inspire and understand. There are as many legends of animal kings who have known humiliation by treacherous foxes as there are of others who have achieved greatness with the help of honest advice.
Tail(s): The defining feature of the species, the tail of foxes symbolises their magical power, makes men fall in love with them and is the part for which they are most vain and most careful.
Oriental foxes acquire a new tail as they grow in wisdom and power. Foxes with a single tail may know a few tricks, but they are still like novices at a magic school. The very few who manage to reach 9 tails are on the level of legendary monster girls. If a fox loses one of its tails, she will lose a proportional part of its power, as well as receiving disproportionate damage to its body for the loss.
Much of a fox's magic and confidence comes from its tail. A long time ago, a fox had its tail torn off by a trap and, devastated by the loss, tried to convince the others that tails were no big deal and foxes could just as well get rid of them because they were a nuisance. They couldn't be convinced. The greatest misfortune that can befall a fox is to lose her tail. It will inevitably fall into deep sadness and could die if that happens. Reynard fled the West because he was condemned to have his tail removed. Tamamo-no-Mae is also rumoured to have lost one or more tails in the final fight and the despair this caused led her to attempt a cataclysmic spell that was only prevented by the final blow dealt to her.
Restoring energy: Fox girls can relieve men of stress and fatigue by restoring their vigour. This ability is inherent to fox girls, and they don't need to learn magic to do it. All it takes is for the afflicted to be able to take comfort in their beautiful, fluffy tails. The problem is that foxes are not only vain, but also very protective of their tails, considering this act to be one of extreme intimacy and vulnerability on their part. Even a seductive trickster would refuse to perform the act with anyone. "Fluffy tails only after marriage."
Favourite food: It's quite typical for foxes to have a favourite food. This is no ordinary favouritism, however. It's such an appreciation that it can make fox girls, particularly young ones, go out of their way or even put themselves at risk to get the food if they're just a little hungry.
Favourite food varies from fox to fox, but there seem to be regional preferences. Grapes or chicken in the West, eggs; tofu; abura-age or pho in the East are some common examples.

There are theories that in that part of the world, they were already an exclusively female race of monsters from the very beginning.
Eastern foxes differed in that they were highly versed in the magical arts; transforming themselves into other people and objects, summoning flames, possession and illusions were and still are some of their most common tricks, but experienced and powerful foxes know much more than is common to the breed. The magical power of these foxes is proudly demonstrated by the number of tails they possess.
Some foxes make this accumulation of power the central tenet of their lives and some have developed dark arts to achieve this goal. Seducing men, gradually draining their life force; devouring organs from the corpses of intelligent beings... many achieved rapid initial strength, but were inevitably hunted down because of the trail of destruction they left in their wake.
Not all foxes that got involved with humans, however, did so out of interest. These had curiosity; fascination; a naturally good heart that couldn't hurt; a taste for human joy or simply a desire for companionship that affected the girls who were so sly, so clever and yet so lonely. They used their power of metamorphosis to disguise themselves as humans and walk among them, sometimes forming friendships and falling in love. But when their glamour failed, whether it was due to a high dose of emotion or when they were detected by dogs, the bad reputation of the breed and of illusionists led to expulsions and broken hearts.
Others took on spiritual forms and possessed a person, hitching a ride on their adventures and pleasures to avoid risking themselves among humans. However, such possessions inevitably ended up harming the possessed and if the fox didn't let go of its attachment to what "it had", a monk would have to exorcise it and a hunt might ensue.
In an ancient era, a woman of unrivalled beauty and charm appeared in the East. Her name was Daji. A king fell in love with her, who used this love to turn the kingdom into a place of orgies and horrible torture, sinking into depravity. After bringing chaos, she managed to escape execution. She went to another kingdom, with a new appearance and name, Kayo. She corrupted another king and together they killed clerics, devoured children and committed other horrors. When she was persecuted, she returned to her previous country under the name Bao Si, where she became the new queen and once again led the kingdom into depravity and was once again expelled.
She then went to an even more distant country, where she disguised herself as a human baby and was raised by a couple who found her in a street and baptised her Mikuzume. Growing up, she impressed the court with her talents and wisdom. As an adult, she so impressed the nobles with her genius and power that they believed she must have had a noble and virtuous previous life. Renamed Tamamo-no-Mae, she married the emperor... who soon after fell ill. No priest or doctor could discover the cause... until an onmyōji suspected it. Tamamo was challenged to perform the greatest sacred rite there. With no choice, she tried to do it, but was unable to due to her wickedness, and was discovered. Pursued by the emperor's samurai, she used her magic and tricks to lose them. The heroes, committed to their duty, had purified themselves and sharpened their skills, managing to track her down. As a last resort, she entered the dream of one of them in the form of a child to beg for her life. The samurai saw the trickery. They reached her and finally killed her.
However, the evil contained within her still cursed the country for a long time, causing the final death of the king and plunging the country into war. It all ended when the evil energy was sealed by the onmyōji inside a stone. A stone that is said to have broken recently.
The divine foxes: At that time, when the kitsune were seducing and the lords were warring, a goddess looked after the simplest humans. Those who grew crops for people to eat; those who built houses for families to live in; the foundations that didn't leave their names in history, but were fundamental to humanity. Hearing the pleas of these humble men, the goddess sent the divine foxes zenko to earth to look after and help these humans. Offering their support and care to labourers and pregnant women, they were soon loved. And by looking after men who had no one because of the harems of wives of the powerful, they were soon loved and betrothed by humble men who, with their love, became great.
Some yako (seductive foxes), envious of the competition and wanting these "rough diamonds in the form of men" posed with "humility" in front of the zenko, asking them how they could be "good wives". And the zenko did: they showed, taught and trained the floozy yako into good, loving wives, drawing many kitsune into their arms and scaring others away.
