Of the Gods

One Foxy Lady

She has gone by many names over the years... kitsune in Japan, Huli jing in China, and Kumiho in Korea....there is one thing that alway stays constant with her though....her tails...nine of them to be exact.

Today, she goes by Kumi, the nine-tailed fox known for her loving demeanor, penchant for mischief, and powerful wit. She is the mother of foxes, master of transformation, and keeper of wisdom.

Like the fox, she has an aggressive side, but she saves it for when she deems it necessary.

Usually, she's quite cuddly, dangerously so, which has been the bane of many men and women for many a century...

“This theory not only explains large areas of theoretical obscurity and avoids large areas of theoretical nonsense (inhabited largely by tigers, foxes, other highly territorial mammals); it also grounds me, personally, in human culture in a way I never felt grounded before” (Le Guin, 1986).
