Homebrew Averzian Kitsune Species Details
Hailing from more secluded areas of the feywild, Kitsune make a living for themselves as farmers, hunters, and sometimes guides for those who find themselves lost. Preferring their distance away from the summer and winter courts, these people choose places that embody spring or fall. Legend tells of tricksters and wise foxes, while much more than that, at their core the Kitsune people are a free loving and inquisitive race. Many take to living on the the material plane for a number of years before returning to their home in the feywild with tales of their experiences. Though tales of these people are still told today by those that have been entranced by them.
Wild looks like wild foxes.
While the kitsune people come in all shapes and sizes, they generally lean towards a tall and slender build as their yokai form mirrors their humanoid self. Their eyes range from average greys and browns to pale silver and bright oranges, with their hair or fur being anything from reds and greys to blue silvers and greenish browns.
