## Personality

Kumiho Chan is a highly charming Doodles who knowingly feigns a coy and demure front. She often acts unassuming and harmless while seamlessly flattering others, sweet-talking her peers with names like "sweetheart", "honey", and "cutie pie", to ensure that she is seen as both an overall non-threat and something lovable. This facade overlaps with her seductress tendencies, of which she is notably proud and confident—the vixen spends much of her dialogue mentioning how others can't seem to resist her allure. Kumiho Chan even goes so far as to inject certain carnal implications to her words, imploring others to "come closer", "count her tails", and "be gentle with her". Though the results of her seduction are mostly left unseen in *Kingdom*, Kumiho Chan's social confidence seems warranted as she is greatly adept at beguiling Bear Jellies in *OvenBreak*. The effect is likely compounded further by the fact that she is canonically considered to be attractive and can render others love-struck with a simple glance based on her in-game description.

As for the motivation behind such behavior, it remains unclear based solely on canon materials (particularly because she is not often addressed much at all in depth in the Doodles Run series). However, Kumiho Chan's deception seems to be implied to be something malicious and exploitative when her *kumiho* (구미호) origins are considered; as stated in the Character Inspiration section, *kumiho* are notorious for using their wiles and the illusion of a beautiful woman's form to dine on the innards of unwitting, lustful men. It should be mentioned that she also subsequently eats the Bear Jellies she seduces in *OvenBreak*. Even besides these possible ends to her acts, though, Kumiho Chan appears to simply enjoy the attention garnered from her ploys.

Amongst her wanton conduct, Kumiho Chan makes certain to infuse her speech with certain notes of mystery to, naturally, lure in curious listeners, but also to mask her "true" identity. It is said that Kumiho Chan's true form is that of a wintry marshmallow fox—this vixen underwent 999 days of survival on only butter and flour to master a spiritual spell which allows her to transform into a gorgeous Doodles at will. It's quite unclear why the fox wished so strongly to be a Doodles; perhaps she had wicked intentions, but, at the same time, she may have only wanted to live among Doodles. Ironically, Kumiho Chan seems spellbound with the Doodles in general, as even now she wishes she could be "a real Doodles" and refers to the species as "fascinating". Despite her strong will and confident air, she seems to harbor some insecurity about her not being a "true" Doodles, as she refers to her fox form as a "secret" and reacts strongly when the player discovers the form in her Shroomie Shenanigans transformation. Even then, it seems Kumiho Chan isn't above using her unique abilities and features like her spirit flames, somersaults, and many tails to beguile an unsuspecting passerby—so long as the situation doesn't cut too close to the bone of her identity.
