Noted early in the Revenge War were pokegirls who appeared completely human, though when killed or knocked unconscious would look like a varying mixture of fox and human. Kitsune were soon replaced by not only their evolved forms, but also by more powerful and specialized pokegirl breeds. Regulated with other pokegirls such as Eva and Catgirls to reserves, these vulpine pokegirls faded into the background until after the fall of Sukebe. Many of the breed defected at that point, offering their services to humans in exchange for taming. In modern times, this fox breed are seen in many places, from harems to domestics, filling a variety of roles.

Besides the normal range of Near Human appearance that many animalistic types have, Kitsune also vary into the Not Very Near Human range of appearance. Those who appear closest to human have vulpine ears and tails, while the most animalistic members of the breed appear as fully furred fox animorphs with altered gaits that allow them to travel on all fours if they so choose. Fur color typically runs into a rust color, though browns and grays have also been found. Tails tend to be tipped with a different color, usually white, and on furred members of the breed black is sometimes noted from elbows to hands and from knees to feet. Many fully furred fox types also have white to cream colors on the front of the abdomen. Hair colors range in reds and browns, with a slight variation into oranges and yellows. Occasionally, this variable breed will have an odd mixture of traits, such as whiskers on the more human appearing individuals.

Curious and mischievous are two traits commonly attributed to this vulpine breed, though the breed generally has a wide variety of personalities besides these two traits. Particularly young Kitsune (often referred to as Vulvixx) are known for a childish attitude that some find frustrating, though this trait often is a factor that pet owners report in their choice of the breed for a companion pokegirl for children. Common to the breed is their love of harmless jokes, often making them fast friends with the Trixie and other joke-playing pokegirls.

At some point early on in their lives (or soon after threshold) individual Kitsune choose a set of rules by which they live by. This code is strictly kept by the breed, and rarely changes, though taming cycles higher than a level 3 can cause an abrupt change in the code. Rules that apply to this code vary wildly by individual, and can be anything from 'never allow my tamer to be harmed' or 'protect all children' to 'only drink water at night'. If their code is broken by a certain measure (by choice or accident) this causes the breed's evolution into a Nogitsune, just as adhering to their code even under duress triggers the evolution into a Myobu. Many of the breed dread the possibility of becoming their darker evolution, as the tailless fox breed often have nihilistic personalities due to their personal failure.

This vulpine breed tends to attack from afar, utilizing their illusions to confuse foes as well as hide their own whereabouts. These normal type pokegirls have a fire affinity, and tend to attack mainly with Ember of Fox Fire. However, the breed can also learn other elemental attacks, even without the aid of T2s (though T2s are instant as well as easier for them), making Kitsunes a variable breed in regards to abilities. Against Dark and Psychic types, this breed is at a disadvantage, as usually both types are able to easily see through the illusions. Should a fighting type be able to locate and land a hit, the match is usually won against this fox breed.

Kitsune curiosity extends to the taming room, where individuals tend to have the motto 'I'll try anything once' and slowly work out their favorite acts from there. Oddly for a line known for their unabashed attitudes for taming, when beginning their sexual explorations this breed is often shy about the mention of taming or various acts. This doesn't last long usually, though the speed at which this vulpine breed loses their bashful attitude varies on an individual basis.

Wild Kitsune tend to gather into small groups, called a leash, for mutual protection. Often these groups are related in some way, be they a mother and older daughters or sisters and related offspring. Sometimes the group is lead by an evolved form of the breed, most often a Vixxen though occasionally a Myobu. Opportunistic feeders, this breed tends to hunt small prey items alone and return to a communal nest. Pounce is a technique that pokekits of the breed are taught early on, and ferals are quite proficient at seeming to dive at their prey from above. Fortunately, this vulpine breed is unable to utilize their illusion technique and are simple to capture using fighting types that are not weak to their fire attacks.

Often the result of threshold in families with a history of fox breeds, these vulpine pokegirls tend to only suffer from light headaches, and backaches as the ears and tail migrate and grow respectively. This is followed by jaw aches and a light, non-irritated rash that signals fur growth in thresholders who are becoming more animalistic members of the breed. Thresholders quickly acquire the breed’s curiosity, which may cause problems for some. Because their abilities with fire are so minor, almost all thresholders quickly gain control of their powers, much lessening the threat to friends and family that many other thresholders cause.
