==Capabilities==
Users possess the traits, attributes, characteristics and/or abilities of kitsune (Japanese: fox), a fox-spirit, who usually gain their powers by living long and keep growing stronger as they age: the more tails a kitsune has (they may have as many as nine), the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. They achieve this either through full or partial transformation into kitsune, choosing to mimic certain aspects of kitsune, or simply already being a kitsune in the first place. They are often tricksters, with motives that vary from mischief to malevolence, but some act as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and even wives or husbands.
Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Their powers mostly include illusions, shapeshifting (particularly to human form), possession, and especially the ability to use foxfire.

===Types of Kitsune===
Kitsune are divided into two categories based on their aligned nature: zenko (good foxes) and yako/nogitsune (wild foxes). Zenko foxes are also divided into four categories based on fur color: kinko (gold foxes), ginko (silver foxes), kokuko (black foxes), and byakko (white foxes). They are also divided into three social ranks based on their powers and abilities: tenko (heavenly foxes), kūko (sky foxes), and kiko (spirit foxes). There are also myobu (celestial/divine foxes) foxes that are given the rank of guardians over shrines.
