The Fox that Wished to be Human

Yeou the kumiho is a clever, philosophical fox living in the jungles of Indonesia. Despite her simple life, she desires the grace and knowledge of the spiritual humans.
Lily the human was separated from her parents at birth, and left for dead in the rainforest. Raised by tigers, Lily longs to return to her own world, but is stopped by the barriers of her jungle home.

Yeou watches Lily through the trees, admiring her humanity from afar. But as the moon grants the fox a wish, Yeou finds herself able to talk to the girl. What was once a simple desire for humanity becomes a pining for Lily herself. Yeou's crush on Lily can only be made possible with a little bit of fox magic and love.

Based on Cookie Run: Kingdom's Kumiho Cookie and Tiger Lily Cookie.
This story takes place outside of the Cookie Run: Kingdom canon. Though Tiger Lily keeps her tragic backstory, she is not literally a cookie living in a kingdom of foodstuffs.
Also fun fact: Foxes live on every (inhabitable) continent, in nearly every above-ground habitat. I had no idea that foxes could live in jungles, but here we are!
