Homebrew Half-Kitsune Species Details

Half Kitsunes are the offspring of a fox like deity with multiple tails, and a human. Most often, both the deity and the human parent are deiniant of the child and abandon it, with a few exceptions. Most of these Halflings only have up to six tails, a single Half Kitsune with nine tails being the only exception to this. These Halflings are gifted with fire magic, and are prone to illusionary magic. The more tails one has, the stronger they, and their magic are. They tend to be fluent in japanese, but most are raised by english humans they were adopted by, after being left by their biological parent.

These Halflings actually have a common gender, as most are female, while the males are far fewer in number. The females have a stronger and bulkier build, with the males are rather thin and lean, some bordering on lanky and skeletal. Due to this fact the males are considered a rarity, and are looked down upon by their stronger female counterparts.
