Kitsune (TCG)

Kitsune were mischievous Yōkai spirits Celestial Realms, p. 19 that originated from the Realm of Animals, Chikushō-dō. They commonly took on the form of foxes, often with multiple tails, and inhabited Deep forests. They interacted with humans and could even take on human forms. Beginner Game: Rulebook, p. 46 Kitsune delighted in playing pranks on humans. Kitsune were also often associated with good fortune. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 210
== Appearance and Demeanor ==
On rare occasions, a Kitsune chose to remain in the Realm of Mortals and live as a human. These kitsune might marry or fall in love with a human, and any descendants of such a union favored their spiritual heritage to a greater or lesser degree. While in human form, kitsune often appeared radiantly beautiful or youthful and handsome. They used to have an attitude of good humor, and they tended to be inquisitive, even to a point considered rude and prying by most. More potentially revealing than their behavior were their tails, which sometimes reappeared even in their illusory human guise. Kitsune gained additional tails throughout their lives, and the oldest and most powerful kitsune had nine tails. Kitsune who lived as samurai must adopt the Code of Bushidō and conducted their actions in accordance with it. Emerald Empire: The Essential Guide to Rokugan, p. 239
== Fox Clan ==
When the remnants of the Ki-Rin were given the territory encompassing Kitsune Forest they found that their new home had been already claimed by the Kitsune. The fledging Fox Clan had to adapt to the rules of the forest, and through the guidance of the kitsune, they achieved harmony. In return for the Fox Clan's respect and reverence, the spirits of Kitsune Forest gave the clan their protection. The Kitsune family of the Fox Clan had an alliance of sorts with the kitsune fox-spirits of their homeland, and some said that the samurai have intermarried with the spirits many times over the generations. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 18
