ooc-Its interesting...you say that people know nothing about kitsunes, but you seem to be a bit misinformed yourself:

In Japanese folklore, these animals are believed to possess great intelligence, long life, and magical powers. Foremost among these is the ability to take the shape of a human; a fox is said to learn to do this when it attains a certain age (usually a hundred years, though some tales say fifty). Kitsune usually appear in the shape of a beautiful woman, a pretty young girl, or an old man.
Other powers commonly attributed to the kitsune include possession, the ability to breathe or otherwise create fire, the power to manifest in dreams, and the ability to create illusions so elaborate as to be almost indistinguishable from reality. Some tales go further still, speaking of kitsune with the ability to bend time and space, to drive people mad, or to take such nonhuman and fantastic shapes as a tree of incredible height or a second moon in the sky. Occasionally kitsune are ascribed a characteristic reminiscent of vampires — these kitsune feed on the life or spirit of the humans they come into contact with. Sometimes kitsune are depicted guarding a round or pear-shaped ball (hoshi no tama or star ball); it is said this ball contains some amount of the kitsune's power, and if it is stolen the thief can coerce help from the kitsune.
Kitsune are often associated with the deity of rice known as Inari. Originally kitsune were the messengers of Inari, but now the line between the two has become blurred to the point that Inari is sometimes depicted as a fox. Kitsune are connected to both the shinto and Buddhist faiths.
