Kitsune are a supernatural species of Japanese fox spirits that are also commonly referred to simply as "foxes." They are creatures who live for many centuries, growing more powerful as they age, and because they are spiritual creatures, their physiology is different from that of true shapeshifters such as Werewolves.
Little is known about the history of Kitsune, but they have existed for at thousands of years. How Kitsune were created and when this occurred remains a mystery, as is where the Kitsune spirits who are not on Earth reside.
All Kitsune have flaming auras that surround their human bodies in the shape of a large fox, which seems to become bigger and more fierce-looking with every tail they gain. These auras can be made visible with flash photography, and supernatural creatures with enhanced vision can see them when they use their glowing eyes. As a result, young Kitsune must learn how to conceal this aura in order to hide it from supernatural beings. Conversely, Kitsune can also make their aura visible to the naked human eye if they will it, or, in some cases, if they lose control over their inner Fox spirit.
