Inari

Inari is the gender-fluid deity of rice, tea, foxes and fertility. They like to turn into a fox to guide and visit Kai Akiyama, their son.

Appearance
When not a fox, Inari has several other forms they like to take.

Female
When female, Inari has long black hair, green eyes and pale skin. She is described as beautiful on several occasions throughout the book. Inari wears a knee length green dress, boots, and a baseball hat that she later gives to Kai.

Male
When male, Inari has shorter black hair, blue eyes, and olive skin. Kai describes him as handsome. He wears jeans, a t-shirt, a red beanie, and converse.

Androgynous
This is Inari's favorite form. They take this form most often when speaking to Kai. This form is more of a combination of their male and female forms. They have shoulder length black hair, hazel eyes, pale skin with a scatter of freckles on their face and shoulders. Inari wears black ripped jeans torn at the knees, a Studio Ghibli t-shirt, converse and that same red beanie. Kai describes it as the color of fox fur.

Personality
Inari is kind, gentle and a goofball. They will often crack jokes and prank other deities and some yokai. They often are accompanied by at least one fox, usually two.

Inari usually uses them/they pronouns, and if you don't know what form they've taken, it's safe to use they/them pronouns, they won't smite you.
