Ha Iwa

Ha Iwa was a kitsune spirit. This kitsune took the form of an elegant human whose gender was only hinted through the timbre of his voice. Iwa's visage was long, with close-set eyes, slanted brows, and high cheekbones, a perfect example of a kitsune gao, a fox face. A person encountering Iwa might notice his tail just barely sticking past the hem of his green kimono. He found glee in shapeshifting, and he would bound weightlessly along tree branches. When he spoke, his language was formal, but his manner was like that of an intoxicated courtier. At the slightest amusement he broke out in peals of laughter, he encouraged flattery, and he craved attention. As he became frustrated, Iwa's human guise started to fail, slowly taking on the aspects of a fox. His voice gained an unnatural loudness as he ranted about whatever disrespect he had been shown. Upon reverting fully into a fox, he exacted his punishment.
