Anatomy
Lepitsunes have foxlike heads, with long thin muzzles and (usually) large, fluffy ears, always each tipped with a tuft which is used in navigating. The fur around their necks is usually fluffy, and while the shape of the tail depends on the individual lepitsune's growth pattern, it is always tipped with the same kind of special fur found in the ear tufts, or in the case of Melancholic lepitsunes, consists entirely of it. These tufts are almost always the same colour as the eyes.
Their bodies are flexible and slightly elongated, somewhat like a ferret or stoat, and their limbs are lightly furred with mouse-like paws, able to grip and clutch at things.
They usually have a single pair of large wings like those of a moth's, and over time they elongate and lose their pigmentation to resemble dragonfly wings. In rare cases they may have multiple pairs or may be partially feathered; in even rarer cases completely.
In size, the average lepitsune measures- from the tip of the nose to the base of the tail- around the length of a hand, fingertip to wrist.
