I love Reynard, there's no consistency in his design, but I see his salt and pepper hair and I know it's him.

Okay, are werefoxes a thing?

Potentially! I don't know yet!

I've tried to limit a lot of my worldbuilding to what's happening in the here and now, lest I just stay caught in WIP hell forever.

Foxes do have a place in a specific thread of werewolf culture, though, appearing primarily in the Fox Hunt, a form of execution.

A human or werewolf is fitted with a fox mask and pelt - both sewn straight onto skin - and sent off running into a designated chunk of territory. Nearly all werewolves in the immediate area will be there in attendance to hunt the victim down and, once caught, wait for the others to harry and tear them to shreds.

Death isn't immediate. It's brutal, and reserved primarily for those that threaten to reveal werewolves' existence to outsiders.

In theory, anyway. In practice, as you might imagine, it's not always that cut and dry.

Why it's a fox has to do with Reynard and Ysengrimus. Though Reynard is recognized as a folk hero, the 'man of the people,' humiliating the church and undermining its leadership, the choice of species wasn't lost on werewolves of that era. Reynard's own pointless cruelties - specifically, the rape of Ysengrimus's wife in the actual RL text - are a stark reminder that commoners see wolves in every devil that exists, and will betray them accordingly. Often horrifically.

doai "All in Jest" opening

"Come one, come all, to the one and only, traveling Blossom carnival! We got it all here folks, from rides, to our exclusive double sized circus tent, petting zoos- Anything your heart desires!" Is what those old flyers used to speak of before this once marvel of entrainment got abandoned on the edge of Eastridge county all those years ago. A little pit stop turned to a permeant landmark, and no one has been able to afford the massive cost to move the 3 mile wide carnival.

And so, it becomes home to the oddest family you'll ever meet. Three veldiguns, a partnered pair Armaros (teal) and Fraudrin (red) and their little one, Reynard (Purple).

Won't you come visit this wonderful place of games and joy? They would loveee to meet you!
