Description

Celestial Kitsune are Kitsune that have ascended to the heavens after gaining sufficient power and wisdom, and they have moved past the mischievous ways of their past. They are descendants of Inari, the shinto goddess of foxes, tea, saké, and prosperity. Kitsune have powerful innate sorcery, as well as a natural ability to shapeshift into a beautiful woman, although they have difficulty concealing their tails in human form.

Kitsune can live for centuries, and the older and more powerful they get, the more tails they grow, up to nine tails. Once a kitsune reaches nine tails, her fur turns golden white, and she becomes a celestial fox, and ascends to the heavens, becoming a guardian of Inari shrines.
