The note says:
"Most kitsune look much like the average catfolk does, perhaps easily mistaken for one at a distance. Fox ears sit on top of their heads; these are capable of independent movement, and often continually twitch and swivel without any conscious input on their owner's part. Combine that with the fact that all of them have at least two fluffy fox tails, a number that only increases with age and ability up to a maximum of nine, and they tend to look not that much different from the races of beast-kin which inhabit Savarra.
Kitsune tend to be diminutive and feminine in appearance — at least, when compared to the races of the Marches. Males can easily tend towards being androgynous at best; their women tend to be slender, agile and finely formed rather than voluptuous, and while A-cup angst is uncommon, most don't go above a high B, with the exception of den mothers/matrons.
Kitsune tails are long — generally as much as their owner is tall — prehensile, and often stronger than their actual limbs. They're not just extremely sensitive, but feel intensely good to pet and fondle on the part of both giver and receiver due to how fluffy they are. Tail number is a shorthand for one's age, experience, power and favor with Keros; the more one has, the higher one's standing in kitsune society. For example, a newborn fox kit might be expected to have two tails, a young adult three or four; most don't reach the upper limits over the course of their lifetimes.
