Kitsune

Kitsune are yokai created by the Dragon Kitsugaisenpuu under the orders of Goddess Inari. They are closely related to their Goddess and foxes, and are important in the existence of the Spirit Realm. They have disowned Kitsugaisenpuu.

## Colors

There are four colors of kitsune: white, silver, gold, and red.

### White Kitsune

#### Appearance

White kitsune are the most common color. They have two main colors: slightly off-white and red. They were once the most highly-regarded form of kitsune due to their resemblance to their creator. The patterns of white kitsune are typically sharp, spike-like marks. Notable common marking placements within the color are: on the ears, on the bridge of the nose, and on side bangs.

#### Common Traits

White kitsune are typically strict, rule-following people. They are intelligent, and love to show it. They usually prefer to use brains over brawns; this is shown in the Iminfuku Clan, as they have a "wiseman" role.

Many white kitsune currently alive are also members of the Iminfuku Clan. Some are simply not members of the large family, and some choose to live on their own.

### Silver Kitsune

#### Appearance

Silver kitsune are the least common color. Their main colors are a silvery-gray and another, darker gray. The patterns of gray kitsune are normally soft and rounded marks. Notable common marking placements are: large markings under or on the eyes. Interestingly, they typically lack any markings in their hair.

#### Common Traits

All silver kitsune alive are members of the Fuhenjou Clan. They are usually quiet, but hyper-aware of their surroundings. They have the most heightened senses of any kitsune. They are typically always planning ahead, but can also simply be paranoid. They often prefer to avoid fighting at all costs, as they have smaller and thinner builds than other colors.

#### Endangerment

Silver kitsune were once much rarer than they are now. During the Great Dragon War, the Fuhenjou were targeted by the opposition (anti-Dragon forces) due to their seemingly false promise to improve the Spirit Realm together with the Dragons. Silver kitsune that weren't even a part of the Fuhenjou were targeted simply for their color. This targeting would end up being so severe that the Fuhenjou and silver kitsune in general were left devastated, and after thousands of years, they have only slightly recovered. All silver kitsune are forced to join the Fuhenjou Clan for their own saftey, whether or not they are related to anyone within.

The stigma against silver kitsune has mostly dissipated due to the Fuhenjou's newly found active effort to protect the Spirit Realm. It is mostly older kitsune from the era of the war that still hold grudges against them.

### Gold Kitsune

#### Appearance

Gold kitsune are the third most common color. Their two main colors are a dirty gold-ish color and a lighter version of the same color. The patterns of gold kitsune are typically simple, angular marks mostly resembling squares. Notable marking placements are: on the ends of hair, on the lower jaw, and on fingers.

#### Common Traits

Gold kitsune take pride in their fighting ability- especially within the Higyoshite Clan. The color has a stockier build than others and their teeth often poke out of their mouths. Most will accept any fight they may get into, and aren't typically sore losers/winners about it. They're usually loud and confident, and don't hesitate to brag. This can be seen as arrogance.
