#and just chill together. they invited Ceroba to one of them but she was living with Chujin at the time and was like ''why talk to them?

(Gaymeatcore) Ough fellow ceroba was born with no tails/really small stumpy tails person. It's so interesting to me since for mythological kitsune's tails give them power so I feel like this would make it harder for ceroba to control her magic or maybe she's weaker than other kitsunes? I imagine kanako would've grown multiple tails had she grown older but oh well.

I like to think ceroba's magic instead goes in her hair and she has stronger magic when it's longer, wich is why she had shorter hair as a kid(see the teen pic) because her parents didn't want to deal with a little "unstable" kid with strong magic, especially fire magic.

I was gonna elaborate on it more with the other ask you sent me asking for my thoughts on Ceroba's family (don't worry, I haven't forgotten about it. It's still there) but I headcanon that Ceroba was the only kitsune in her family born without a tail. And since (in my headcanon world) kitsune tails are seen as markers for how powerful/wise/how much "potential" a kitsune will have in life, being born without a tail basically looks like she has no potential at all and is doomed to be a failure. Now, of course, this isn't true. It's just superstition. There is no unshakable quality (like your zodiac animal/zodiac sign/etc) that someone is born into that determines their personality and/or how well they'll do in life. You only know how well you'll do in life by living it. But that didn't stop her parents from taking it seriously and investing their time and attention more into her siblings who have a/multiple tails and are thus seen as "better" for it. Her parents are a bunch of shitty traditionalists :/

Ceroba tried to beat out those expectations by perfecting her magic (hence why she casts bullets which require such precise control to dodge and is pretty damn strong) and tried her hardest academically and everything to please her parents and make them look at her, but they wouldn't so much as look past the fact that she's tailless. So she gave up on them. And that's a massive factor in why she doesn't keep contact with them anymore.

Sometimes though, she still feels like the foolish, tailless, potential-less little kitsune that her parents saw in her......
