Description
Kitsune from Usagi Yojimbo

Kitsune - Kitsune is a street performer by day, and master thief by night—or day as the case may be. An anthropomorphic fox ( kitsune, きつね, is Japanese for "fox", 狐), she is as cunning, quick and agile as her profession demands. Her street performance is based on manipulating tops with objects such as fans or chopsticks. She has some skill with a sword, but she is no master swordswoman. However, she can throw a heavy object like a beigoma (battle top) with deadly accuracy. She considers herself a noble thief and only steals from people who can afford it, or who deserve it. She would never steal from the poor, not just because they have nothing worth stealing, but because she was once poor herself. Her motto: "A girl has to do what she can to get by, neh?" Usagi first meets Kitsune in the story Kitsune where she is working as a street performer. He makes friends with her, but later finds out that she picked his pocket when he finds he can't pay for a meal, and is forced to wash dishes to pay his debt. When they meet the next time, Kitsune considers giving Usagi his purse back, only to find to her accepting amusement that the ronin has already stolen it back. Since then they have met many times, usually when Kitsune is plotting some scheme and Usagi helps out when things go wrong. For his part, Usagi disapproves of her thievery, but refrains from lecturing her or interfering except for more serious cases while Kitsune appreciates his acceptance of her nature. She has also met Gen, who is initially smitten with the beauty, making him a perfect target. Despite that, the two become friends and temporary traveling companions in "The Shrouded Moon", and at the end of the story "Kitsune's Tale", is it hinted that there might be a romantic attraction between the thief and the bounty hunter. In addition, there seems to be some romantic feelings between Usagi and Kitsune as well. Aside from Usagi and Gen, Kitsune only had three friends in the world, each having a profound impact on her: Sachiko, Noodles, and Kiyoko.
