Kitsune

Kitsune are a type of yokai that manifested from living foxes. Like all yokai, they are touched by the Spirit Plane. Their tails glow with spirit flame, which burns only if they wish it. The wiser and more heroic a kitsune becomes, the more tails they grow (though only up to nine under normal circumstances).
