"I'm in a book? Teehee, that's just silly!"
-Yurka, breaking the fourth wall....
"Hwaaa? What's a fourth wall?"
Cut that out.
Age: Unknown
Height: 4'0"
Weight: [REDACTED]
Bust: HAH
A much younger and precocious Yurka, she's still very much an easygoing and cute kitsune, just tends to be a -lot- more innocent and naive about the world.
Yep...at one time, little yurka was innocent...go figure.
Backstory
In a galaxy far, far away...there is a set of planets that are seemingly apart from the rest of the realms, the technology though seemingly advanced, does not allow them the ready path to leave as easily as many of the other races seeming around here. It is not the issue of the technology, more or less the distance.
Yurka is one of the few who have the ability to transport such people from Her home galaxy to the many other realms She keeps Her eyes on, and has already done so for a number who have seeked the other places outside the realm within her control. It was the constant shipping of people across the known universe that caused Her to finally get curious of the other worlds, and soon enough she placed one of Her attendants in charge to try and find out just what was so interesting within those other worlds.
It is true, in her land she is known as a goddess, more notably the Goddess of the arts and the most influential of the gods within Her land short of the creator Himself. This does not mean She is an all powerful being that can warp the very being around Her. She has ascended to a level beyond that of a normal kitsune within Her culture, and has gained so much notoriety that Her status is legendary and seen as divine in these days, a holy being who's powers are unmatched to anyone in Her galaxy.
Needless to say this is far from Her galaxy, and though She does have great power, there are many who could say they outstrip Her easily. Needless to say She is not here to be worshiped or revered, but simply to enjoy Her time in a realm She can blend into easily.
Powers
Now, She does have Her share of magics, and if you want to skip reading the "Book" of Her abilities, here is the general list.
The Tails and what they stand for,Elemental control, Sensual feeding, Kitsune Bi,Kitsune Realm, Kitsune Illusion,Kitsune possession.
Now, for the specifics:
Note: All italics are quotes from the many texts tied within japanese mythos on the legendary Kitsune.
Kitsune tails: Kitsune are usually depicted as having more than one tail. The most commonly depicted are one-tails, five-tails, and nine-tails. For most kitsune, the number of tails shown is usually one. This could be for a number of reasons, though, including the idea that a kitsune could be in a human or fox, possessing it, or may have been born in a mortal body. In either case, why would the kitsune suddenly sprout more tails?
Some of the legends say a kitsune gains a tail every hundred years. Another myth says that a kitsune gains all nine tails when they reach nine hundred years old. When a kitsune becomes a nine-tail, their fur becomes either silver, white, or gold. This isn't a strong and fast rule, but it's what is seen most often.
To the kitsune, the number of tails they have are a show of prestige, skill, age, and rank. A kitsune may gain a tail for bringing honour to their family and clan, or could lose one for breaking kitsune law. A kitsune may also lose a tail, by dying, but this isn't always the case, considering Tamamo-no-mae was killed more than once, and was still a nine-tail
Kitsune don't ask for extra tails. Instead, they are simply rewarded for their actions, or punished. Some kitsune train under others, hoping to gain wisdom and favour with their teachers. Some kitsune even take quests or go on journeys, to gain wisdom or power, hoping to find ways to gain in prestige and rank among the other kitsune, or with The Lady or Inari. .
The Lady, A ten-tailed kitsune, As it stands, she is unique. There are no other kitsune with more than nine tails. She is the mother of the kitsune race, and all serve her in one manner or another.
In this form, though she has access to all her powers, she isn't exactly a goddess anymore.
Elemental control: Kitsune, as spirits, have a link to the land. This is a tie to the element the kitsune is 'attuned' to. As such, the longer a kitsune spends in the area, the more that element is noticed. When the kitsune becomes 'real', manifesting, it causes an effect on the environment. The gifts placed at shrines, or out in the open for kami are a way of giving the spirit power, and as such, the negative effects of the spirit being there are lessened.
To an extent, She has honed Her abilities toward the control of the elements around her. This said, if it has ties within the many elements of the world, She can exercise her own magics to control and bend the elements to her will.
Sensual Feeding:Kitsune have been known to feed off of many things, including words, knowledge, writing, music, the land, and the people around them. One of the most common forms of feeding from a target is through sex. Since kitsune are creatures who enjoy sensations in the first place, so this makes sense. The effect of lovemaking for a kitsune's partner is, according to many sources, more pleasurable than most mortals can handle.
Not so much an ability, more her way of livelihood. She needs to feed off the energies of mortals, more or less to allow herself to perform her other abilities, or in extreme cases to have enough energy to live. She has many ways to feed, but her more favorite way is to either feed during an act of passion, or while viewing one.
Kitsune bi: By rubbing their tails together, a kitsune can make lightning or fire. The kitsune can also, to a small range, breathe out fire. Kitsune can also make small 'fox lanterns', by producing small balls of fire to float around them, and guide their way. This fire can be used as a weapon, or as a toy.
Kitsune Realm: Kitsune, as spirits, have abilities that are hard to explain. One is the kitsune's domain. Kitsune are able to make small pockets in reality, folding space and time to suit their needs. They can turn a hole under a floorboard into a small estate, and turn a small field into a kingdom, complete with people, animals, and weather. Time seems to flow faster inside these realms. For every day in the real world, up to seven years can pass in the realm, for those who are in it.
Kitsune Illusion:To a kitsune, their illusions are reality. What they make, for them, and for others, is as real as anything found or crafted in nature. Anything that a kitsune builds or transforms, becomes what the kitsune desired. A kitsune can make people, animals, and objects, which can't be distinguished from the real thing.
The more kitsune team up to make things, the more can be made. A handful of kitsune can build a city if they desired.
Kitsune Seduction: A form of mind control, the kitsune ability of 'seduction' is one of the most commonly-mentioned skills in legends. By using their tail or tails in a swaying manner, or by meeting the gaze of a target, the kitsune is capable of taking over their mind. While under the control of the kitsune, the victim sees, thinks, and lives in a world designed by the kitsune, all inside the target's mind. The target is controlled until someone breaks the magic the kitsune's using. This mind control is purely by magic, mind you, and can be broken by certain magics, or wards.
Kitsune Possession: Kitsune, being spirits, aren't expected to just 'appear'. Doing so is a risk to a spirit, leaving them vulnerable to attack. Also, considering the kitsune gains power from the land they are in, they risk harming the land by taking too much power, just to be 'there'.
As such, kitsune have learned a few ways to 'cheat', and show up more often. The following ways are possible tricks the kitsune have learned:
Possession....Simple taking over a target for a period of time. Possessing someone was not a long-term event as far as kitsune were concerned. A kitsune usually required the permission of the target, to be able to possess them, but that doesn't seem to always be the case. When the target was possessed, their will was completely taken over. When the kitsune left the target, they had no memories of what had transpired.
Possessing an unwilling target would mean taking over the person's will. This could result by the kitsune draining the target's will, or perhaps driving them insane. In either event, the kitsune is now inside a mortal body.
Kitsune who possess a mortal don't seem to retain most of their abilities. The taking of a mortal body gives the kitsune a semblance of mortality, themselves. One exception I read is that a kitsune possessing someone had on them a small object, called a 'kitsune ball'. This ball, when taken from the kitsune, caused them to whine and plead for it back. From what else I've read, the kitsune ball is a portion of their spirit, and could be the only means for them to regain their freedom, or it could hold the soul of the person they are possessing. I don't know for certain, either way.
Kitsune do not have to possess only mortals, mind you. A kitsune can just as easily possess a fox's body, and wander around as a fox.
Taking an Avatar - Possessing either a dead body, or an unborn child. This would be a more permanent means of being able to stay around. There are stories that mention when a person dies, they can become a kitsune. This could either be a kitsune possessing the body, or it could be a literal transformation, where the person steps 'outside' the cycle of birth-death-rebirth, becoming immortal instead. In any case, a kitsune can take the dead body of someone, and animate it since it has no soul inside it. Doing so would require that the body was not properly buried, and had not been consecrated.
While inside the body, the kitsune has some abilities that it would possess as a true spirit. This would mean shape shifting to a lesser extent, and more often than not, the person would have a fox's tail. Kitsune illusions would still be available, as would causing bad luck.
Possessing an unborn child is another matter. While doing so, the mother would most likely become sick, or weak, as the kitsune invades her unborn child. When the child is born, it would most likely be sick too, until either it died, or the kitsune was successful in possessing it. The kitsune would be able to grow and adapt to mortal life, and eventually gain most of it's powers. A kitsune with a mortal body would be able to shape shift, and live fairly well as a mortal.
Personality:This yurka isn't the same mischievous trickster that her older form is. True, she is very prankish from time to time, but often times she'd rather be cute an adorable, trying to get snacks and affection out of people who are suckers for cute younger-looking types.
Items
The Kitsune's Ball: Kitsune have things called kitsune balls. What this is, is a small white ball. It doesn't glow, and doesn't appear to have any powers. The kitsune guard this ball closely, and if you can get your hands on one, you can have the kitsune promise to aid you.
Most kitsune use the ball just like it appears... a normal children's ball. One theory, though, is that the kitsune places a portion of their power into this item, while possessing mortals, or while in human form.
Tsurugi: The equivalent of the human Kusanagi "Grasscutter" Sword, said to be ever sharp, though its power is great, it must be in the hands of a master to be properly used. Yurka does not have the ability to use it properly, more or less a ceremonial sword for her.
