Setting
Primarily the Kitsune dwell within the Emerald Courts of Asia, the Beast Courts as the Garou often refer to them, and are led by the Kitsune who act as diplomats and settle disputes. They have strong ties to each breed of Fera, especially the Mokolé and the now extinct Nagah. Also alongside the Hakken, Kitsune control Japan exclusively; few other breeds even visit Japan without invitation. In the years following the destruction of so many Caerns at the hands of the Caern Plague and the Dark Brigade, the Emerald Courts suffered heavy losses from Harano, in-fighting, and the influences of the Wyrm. It was the Mokolé who seized control over the courts and demanded the violence stop; the Kitsune, of course, did not like being ousted. However, they did agree that the violence needed to stop. As such the Kitsune became advisors of the breeds rather than directly in charge and the Mokolé relinquished power after the last meetings, which put the Kitsune’s Eldest as the Head of the Emerald Court. As such when word reached the Kitsune that in the Americas there were fox shifters being born who knew nothing of the Mandates of Heaven and the purpose of the Kitsune, they sent a number of Kitsune West and East, to find every single one they could and bring them into the fold. This did not go as planned.

A great number of the American Foxfolk were Native Americans with their own deep faith in their own traditions. They did not take well to forceful adoption and many outright refused the Kitsune and became Ronin. The spirits of the Garou Nation were still willing to accept these individuals once they joined within the Nation. These Cubs, Cliaths, and Fosterns never had any Adren or higher to advance in rank until one Kitsune who had known of their plight joined the Garou Nation. He defected from the Emerald Courts, and as such upon joining he retained his rank of Elder; many Kitsune of the Nation sought challenge through him and those who had already challenged him. While only a few dozen members within the Nation, the Kitsune worked wonders to ease the Harano that plagued the Nation and the American Fera at large, acting as a bridge between the breeds in these last few years. The Mokolé foresaw all this happening, and had set in motion the paths of the Kitsune, which they accept as destiny; while they do not know everything that will happen, the Kitsune being across the world is considered a good thing by the Mokolé for they are the ones needed to win the hearts and minds of Garou and Fera alike, to keep Harano at bay, and to guide all the breeds towards the path that Gaia needs of them.

The Battle of Crescent Moon
The Kitsune fought with the furocity all too common of the Warrior people they can be, lifting spirits in battle, rallying morale for the fight before hand, and using their alchemical knowledge to make slaying their vampiric enemies even easier.
