how many tails does a kitsune have
Usually, the older a true kitsune is, the more tails they possess. The maximum number of tails is nine. The number of tails on a kitsune also determines how many lives they have. A kitsune can be resurrected once for every tail it possesses, and one tail is destroyed every time it is killed. Thus, a kitsune with one tail will die when killed, while a kitsune with two tails will live, but lose one tail.
