Physical appearance.

Most look like attractive and fit humanoids with distinct Fox traits. Divine Fox resembles a fox that stands on its hind legs, covered with fur, and with either human or fox like arms. Divine Fox stand about 3ft. to 4½ft. tall, and they weigh far less than humans do (typically 50-80 pounds). Due to their small size, There is no clearly visible size distinction between a  male and a female. The fur on a Divine Fox can be any shade of reddish-orange, pale-yellow, white, grey, or silver. A Divine Fox is often addressed by using the number of tails as a last name. For example, Aera Two-Tails or Aera Twin-Tails. Rather than the normal snout of a fox, Divine Fox’s face ends in a narrower version of a fox’s snout, with a more severe downward slope to it. A Divine Fox’s eyes are typically green. A Divine Fox is considered an adult at age 20, and because of their Celestial blood their full lifespans may vary greatly between 300 years and even thousands of years.

 

 

Homelands
