Kitsune

**Kitsune** are a race of beings that originally hail from Japan and Korea, but have now spread worldwide.

## Appearance

Kitsune basically look like human/fox hybrids. They have reddish fur all over most of their bodies, fox-like ears, fox-like muzzles, complete with fangs, claws, vulpine legs/paws, and fox-like tails on their lower backs. Also, they have white fur on the undersides of their muzzles, their bellies, the tips of their tails, and their hands and paws. However, one thing separates them from other fox-like creatures. They are born with one tail, but as they grow older, they grow more tails until they reach their maximum amount (nine).

## Behavior

Like tanuki, kitsune are a very traditional "people". Also, they are very wise, and will give out advice to those who need it. They tend to be very regal in both regalia and personality. They also tend to be scholars that prefer to talk about the mysteries of the world then fight, however, that doesn't mean that they will not fight if and when the situation demands it. They are clever and sly as well, they may use this to their own selfish advantages or for others, it depends on the individual kitsune.
