Hello! So, there is this japanese telling about kitsunes/nogitsunes. I don't actually know if it's a legend, folklore, mythology... Basically, there is the god of fertility, rice and foxes named Inari and they have envoys, and those envoys are the kitsune. They appear as white foxes and the older they get, the more tails and more power they get. With 9 tails, they are very powerful and considered to be on a divine level/god-like (not the next Inari, but a kitsune-god). They can change their appearance by thought (e.g. into human form), take possession of someone and make fire. If they like chaos and use those powers to do evil stuff they are called nogitsune and aren't envoys of Inari anymore.

My OC is young and almost at an age where he is considered mature, but he hasn't decided yet his path (kitsune or nogitsune) and his parents (both kitsune) are trying to get him to choose kitsune. He isn't very powerful at that point, but he will receive his second tail soon and with that more power and that's the conflict (conflict of growing up and taking responsibility).

Is it possible to use the telling of kitsune/Inari?
