You should know how precious fox tails are to fox spirits\/kitsune, and this one would send the actual Vara in a frenzy. It frustrated me for that very reason. Yeah, I guess Vara&#8217;s tail has shrunk from probably a combination of brutal dry winter &amp; humid summers that it wrecks havoc on her tail.
