Ring around the eye, usually black but various colors, like a panda [/stares at Panda-chan] I wonder why Kure decided on that....>..>
Backstory:
The Bamboo Tribe is said to originate from a folk-story. the stroy was of that of an old couple cutting bamboo in the forest for their lively-hood of bamboo ware. One day, the husband spotted a glowing piece of bamboo. Out of curiosity, he sliced it open above the glow. He was more than suprised when he saw that the glow was caused by a little fox-like creature. It seemed to be in poor health and that it was using the bamboo as an artificial 'womb', so he and his wife took it home and nursed it to health. After several years, the weak kit had grown into a sleek adult, not of the likes of any other fox in the land. The story of the strange fox and his adopted 'parents' travel across the counrty and up the ranks until the emporer himself heard of the fox. He immediatly went on a search for this one-of-a-kind creature that, in his mind, would give him immense bragging rights and respect. When he came to the humble shack that the strange family called 'home' he presented the couple with gifts, and the fox with lavis collars and jewlry. He began to speak with the couple, and tried to persuade them to shif ownership of the fox to him. Needless to say, they refused. When the fox heard the emporer's proposal, he immediatly fled the house. He had always felt a sense of not belonging, and this was finially what sealed it. With one last glance at the house of the couple, he shed a tear, ran into the bamboo grove, and was never seen again.
Some say he dissapeared to the moon, but the reality is that the one fox became the founder of the Bamboo Tribe, named after from whence he came.
And with the coming of Kure and Panda-chan, the incarnations of the animals that devour the holy bamboo, it was deemed that they were descendents of the great fox, and therefore, the designated leaders.
