Fenekkin (fenek-kin)physically look like upright foxes, the only true different feature they possess is their hands, gifted with 6 digits that allow them to climb easier and have a more dextrous control of items in hand. Their tails are often a signal of the individual's health and mood, which in turn has made it an important part of their social interactions.

The fenekkin live mostly in forests, always close to rivers or lakes.  They keep their existence a secret from most tall folk, and keep any other neighboring races at arms length. It is hard to earn the trust of a Fox person, let alone a whole "den" as they designate their little villages under the ground. It's not uncommon for 2 or more dens to ally and form a union around one village that becomes a sort of enclave that works as a central hub where most of the trading and political work concentrates. 
And this is one thing The fenekkin share with some tall folk, they love their political intrigue and power struggles. 
The individual Fox person however, is likely to like shiny things, strong smelling foods and drinks and fluffy fabrics. These things are magnetic to them and they can rarely resist the urge to take things left unattended whenever they are outside their own dens. 
Fox people have frail frames and are more adept to sneaking around than fighting, but this does not mean they don't. as they have their own culturar martial arts dedicated to safeguard the dens and those who thrive inside them.
The fenekkin have a spiritual connection to the forest, hills and any other ecosystem they live within, they can talk to animals or other magical creatures that dwell around them, and can access some supernatural abilities.

A fox's Luck

It's said that befriending a fox brings luck to those around it, and even though Fenekkin do not share this ideas of luck and the spilling of it. Most outside races have an inkling of these supposed magical luck powers. This has led to different stances regarding the fox folk, humans look for them under the impression that they can be useful sources of magic ingredients (they are not), Elven kind mostly leave them alone as they are of the forests, dwarves believe them to be spirits of the forest (not too far from the mark) and often avoid Fenekkin like they were ghosts. Other smaller races however tend to be more neighborly to the fox folk, Faepies actively seek to strike a friendship while malakits will actively try to turn them into coats. 
The truth about the Fox's luck however is that the Fenekkin do have good luck, wich gives them a helping hand in tense situations.
