Kitsunes are native forest spirits to the Sakura Spirit Woods in the north of the Y’azi Peninsula. They are a type of Yōkai, which translates to "fox spirits" in the common tongue. Kitsunes are known for their anthropomorphic fox form, as well as their mischievous and cunning nature.
Despite their good intentions, kitsune were viewed negatively by some due to their trickster nature. They are known to lie, cheat, and steal, and even to possess women. However, their tricks are never malicious and are typically petty or outright silly.
Kitsunes are also associated with good luck, prosperity, and wisdom. In Japanese folklore, they are often depicted as wise and powerful beings, capable of shape-shifting, illusion, and other magical abilities. In some tales, they are even able to possess human beings, causing them to behave erratically or to perform amazing feats.
However, there are also darker tales of kitsunes known as nogitsune, who use malicious tricks that cause severe bodily harm and possible death. These stories contribute to the mistrust and fear that some humanoids have for kitsunes.
Despite this, kitsunes are known to show loyalty to those who accept them for who they are. They are also known to be skilled hunters, able to survive in the forest and to adapt to changing conditions.
