Fox Spirit by Peter Frain

Animal Spirits are among the character types available for Player Immortals in the game.

This of course Monkey’s Origin, but also famous are the Fox Spirits, who have a reputation for playful mischief and magical elegance.

As well as the narrative aspects of this Origin, Animals Spirits get bonuses from their personality (called Attitudes) since they are more driven by their passions than what they learn in their professions.

I recently came across this film from 2013, The Fox Lover, which is all about a small family of Fox Spirits (or Fox fairies as the translation calls them). More a whimsical and romantic tale than martial arts action blockbuster (although it does have its moments), this tale really shows the sort of personal dilemmas that you can build into a game of Monkey.
