Basic Information

Anatomy

Kitsune are for the most part normal humanoids aside from the tails attached to their posteriors(Specifically around the tailbone), which can range from anywhere from one tail to nail tails depending on their power level. They also have a pair of fox-like animal ears atop their heads in place of normal ears.
Additionally, Kitsune are an all-female race.

Genetics and Reproduction

Kitsune reproduce through sexual reproduction, but due to their nature as an all-female race they must rely on couplings with other races' males(And very rarely other females, through mysterious magic) to reproduce - thankfully, they are genetically compatible with most any other race. The couplings they produce only produce female kitsune and males of the parent race.
Once they come down with children, they have a similar gestation time to humans.
