Biography
Cut-Tail Trickster
私は尻尾のないキツネです。哀れですよね？
⛩ Tengokou-Kasai Yako Kitsune ⛩
Red Fox; Smoky Kohl/Amber Cross Mutation
Chinese: "Shinko" [辰狐] (an alternative name for Dakiniten): the kanji character "辰" (shin) means "dragon" in the ancient Chinese zodiac symbols. It is a male name.
Japanese: "Shinko" [神子], the kanji symbol "神" (shin) means "God", and "-ko" (子) means "child", in feminine names. An alternative spelling would be "信子", which would mean "trust" and "child".
Tengokou: (Heaven, Celestial, Light, Prime)
Kasai: Fire
Lore Notes:
- A trickster wild fox with an odd personality and high charm, his favorite passtime being shapeshifting to pull tricks on humans and heavenly beings
- His tail got cut off by shrine priests one unlucky day, as he is viewed as an "evil spirit" and overall bad omen. He became the laughing stock of all divinities, as he no longer possessed a tail- which denotes the power of a given fox (the more tails, the older and more powerful the fox). He now has none at all and was viewed as truly nothing.
- Growing jealous of other heavenly beings looking down on him, Shinko attempted to cause chaos during the royal procession of the Phoenix prince- but instead of being hated, when the Prince saw him, he was gifted one of his feathers.
Descriptions of terms:
- Yako [野狐]: Iconically depicted with a leaf on their forehead, Yako are any ordinary, feral fox and are considered as the polar opposite of Byakko. Unlike Byakko, Yako still possesses their physical state and are often delinquents with their sole concerns of how to use their shape shifting ability is to trick or frighten naive human only for their self-gratification, instead of helping them. Foxes that doesn’t have any spiritual training experience or simply apathetic to do so are classified as Yako; the lowest rank of divinity amongst all vulpine spirits and are never worshipped in anyway. Legends of Yako are mostly spotted in the Kingdom of Izumino [和泉国] (modern day Osaka) and they mostly tricked human by showing them illusions or apparitions. In Kyushu [九州], Yako are believed to be capable of possessing not only human, but inanimate objects as well. Similarly, badger-like creatures called "Yako’o" [ヤコオ], alias for Yako, are feared by the people in Ikino Island [壱岐島] located off the Northern coast of mainland Kyushu. In Ikino Island, Yako’o (or Yako) would possess a person by passing down between the person’s legs and in certain cases kill the person if they inflict the person with a burn mark or by licking his/her Small Pox blisters. In order to prevent Yako’o from going anywhere near the small pox patient, people would either move them inside a mosquito net, sprinkle ashes of Pterostryrax corymbosa plant around the periphery, or by placing a sword at the house entrance. In Southern Kyushu, Yako would possess a family member from generation to generation in a parasitic relationship and when its human resource finally deplete, they’ll move on to possessing the family’s farm animals next. As well as in Kagoshima City of Kagoshima Prefecture, people would at times cast a Yako towards their personal rivals via a "black magic" known as "Mushi-jutsu" [蟲術] subsequently making the targeted rival(s) terminally ill for the rest of their life.
- Kitsune are extremely intelligent and very powerful shape-shifters. They frequently harass humans by transforming into giants or other fearsome monsters, sometimes just for pranks, and sometimes for other nefarious purposes. They are skilled enough to even transform into exact likenesses of individual people, often appearing in the guise of beautiful human women in order to play tricks young men. On more than one occasion this has resulted in the marriage with an unwitting human. Some kitsune even spend most of their lives in human form, adopting human names and customs, taking human jobs, and even raising families. When startled, or drunk, or careless, occasionally part of their magical disguise can fail, and the kitsune’s true nature may be revealed by a tail, a patch of fur, fangs, or some other vulpine feature.
