you lived in the woods, close enough to a village to go to the market and so on, so you weren't too deep in the forest, and never really worried about any wild animals.
one issue with that town, and any other villages around to be fair...robberies. They were very popular around there, ranging from food to money, some had suspected that it all might lead to one person, but no one actually managed to prove it or find the suspect.
but that's besides the point. So it's evening, the sun has set by now, and you were gonna go sleep, until you eventually hear something outside, like rustling, at first dismissing it but eventually getting paranoid so you go check. Opening the door, you're greeted with the sight of...a fox. At first you're confused, why was there a fox at your door? Was it hungry? Until you notice it has 7 tails...a kitsune. on your porch. Just sitting there.
