Fluffy, huggable tails. Sleeping comforted by them, a man can wake up in many ways: restored, tired or robbed...
Fox women have different essences to go with their beauty: thieves, seductresses or protectors. All of them, however, possess a legendary cunning, told in many stories and which has earned them many enemies.
Origins: The story of fox girls begins in two parts of the world. In the East and West, they possessed wit and smarts that got them out of trouble and a pride that got them into it. There were bad and good, selfish and generous. Although their personalities were similar on each side of the Earth, their histories and abilities differed.
In the wild kingdoms of the West, where animals talked, foxes were always known as thieves and tricksters. They survived and amused themselves by tricking other animals into stealing their food, acquiring treasures and getting themselves out of trouble and the consequences of their adventures. They flattered lions, deceived wolves and stole from crows. They weren't very good at knowing when to be honest and didn't always prevail. Although they were clever, their pride tended to underestimate the intelligence of their opponents, such as the rooster and the heron. They also had little power against honest people who didn't want to talk, like dogs. Although there were foxes who used their wits to help naïve friends, there were still many whose actions coloured the race as a whole.
In these times, a certain male fox has gained notoriety. Reynard the Fox, a notorious trickster, called a "people's hero" by some, in his adventures he humiliated corrupt clerics and aristocratic animals, stealing their possessions, seducing their unfaithful wives and bringing his enemies to a deserved end, inspiring the peasants to justice and bringing down the mask of morality of oppression.
Other stories and opinions, however, paint Reynard as an amoral scoundrel who didn't distinguish between the guilty and the innocent, whether they were priests, kings, workers or peasants in his terrible schemes. A thief, murderer, seducer and rapist, Reynard would have been an example only for the spiteful and perverse who only needed methods and excuses to cast their evil on the land. His cynical stories show nothing but an amoral world whose value lies only in providing gluttony and pleasure for the cleverest and cruelest among those who live in it.
Whatever the truth, it is agreed that this figure was one of those most responsible for the schism between wolves and foxes. The successive humiliations of Ysegrim the Wolf have been told and passed on. In addition to other mishaps with clever foxes, these stories permanently soured the relationship between the two species. Many wolves today, when in conflict or doubt with foxes, simply prefer to close their ears and beat them up (or worse) rather than risk being tricked.
The legend of the hunt:
Life for foxes had become miserable. After Reynard, no animal was willing to lend its ear or goodwill to them. Wolves, dogs, bears, badgers, lions, roosters and rabbits put their differences aside to hunt down the cunning ones, whether they were good or not.
A young female fox fled into the middle of an icy forest, pursued by wolves. Her escape meant little, as the cold, hunger, injuries and sorrow brought her down. She cursed her pursuers, she cursed Reynard and all her dishonest relatives. She lamented what seemed to be the fate of her race.
In the midst of the snow, a black shape appeared before her, surrounded by beautiful lights. A fox the like of which she had never seen before. The fox with the beautiful lights approached, there was compassion in its eyes, but judgement in its voice:
"Hard times will come to foxes and all animals. You will not survive in the form you are in. You will be given a form that will please the most powerful beings in the world and you will live under their protection. But you must submit to them in the same way as their females must. Therefore, only women will be born among the foxes, because compassion for our men has run out. Do you wish life for our species? "
She answered "yes".
