'''Kitsune''' are a [[Races|race]] of intelligent, [[magic]]al foxes who can shapeshift to assume [[human]]oid forms or a monstrous ''youko'' form which resembles a bipedal, muscular fox between their true fox form and their humanoid form. The more tails a kitsune has, the older, wiser, and more powerful they are, with a nine-tailed kitsune being the strongest. They reside in [[Kitsune Mori]] in [[Yamato]] in the [[Third Age]] and [[Fourth Age]] although occasional strays have shown up elsewhere.

==History==

===First Age===

Kitsune appeared in the [[Land of the Living]] sometime in the [[First Age]], having been created by the [[god]]dess [[Laverna]]. Many of them preferred to live in forests but some curious kitsune occasionally wandered to what they referred to as "the Outside" and learned about other [[races]]. Stories about them spread but quickly turned into legend as the shapeshifting powers made the kitsune particularly elusive. Some were said to have married members of other races only to vanish after spending a few months or years together with their beloved. The nogitsune, the dark and rebellious kitsune embracing their kind's chaotic nature, chose to defy the more orderly myobu kitsune as they wandered around to cause occasional havoc here and there; the most infamous of these was [[Katsutoshi Kobayashi]], the Dark Wanderer, and his protege and lover, [[Haruko Mizushima]], who ended up causing the.

===Second Age===

By the [[Second Age]], kitsune hid in the vast forests of [[Miletos]], particularly near the [[Tower of Raistlin]], but did not interact with other races as far as recorded history shows.

===Third Age===

During the [[Third Age]], kitsune ruled a forest realm deep in [[Yamato]] which became known as [[Kitsune Mori]], or Fox Forest. Once again kitsune stayed out of sight, preferring to live peacefully in their forest although some occasionally ventured outside out of need to explore the world like their ancestors had done, only for most of them to return back to the safety of the woods.

The kitsune [[Haruko Mizushima]], [[Katsutoshi Kobayashi]] and [[Seishuu Kazejin]] were kitsune who notoriously ended up affecting events outside their forest home, participating in various conflicts on different sides for their own gain or amusement.

==Appearance==

Kitsune have golden eyes. Their fur color ranges all the way from black to white, although the most common color tends to be red. Due to their shapeshifting abilities, they can assume forms of other races with practice.

The number of tails a kitsune can have goes up to nine. A small number of tails signifies that the kitsune is fairly weak, and a high number of tails means that the kitsune is particularly powerful.

==Personality and Traits==

Kitsune are very curious and also mischievous creatures, often playing pranks on others' expense. They're also a very musical people, enjoying listening to songs, which soothe their minds, and playing instruments such as lutes whenever they transform into bipedal forms. Their morals aren't chained by what is right and wrong; instead they do what they think benefits them the most. They can and sometimes do bond with people they end up interacting with although their ways of showing affection can vary depending on the kitsune in question.

==Powers and Abilities==

Kitsune can shapeshift between three forms depending on how experienced the kitsune is. Their natural form is one that resembles an ordinary fox except with multiple tails. Their second form is the given race they want to masquerade as such as [[human]], [[elf]] and [[dwarf]]. The third form, called the ''youko'', is a monstrous mix between their four-legged and bipedal forms, a humanoid fox-like beast which walks on two feet and relies more on brute strength than the other forms.
