Kuzunoha is a kitsune from Japanese folklore, a spirit with the supernatural ability to transform from a white fox into a human. She marries a young nobleman who had previously unknowingly saved her from hunters, and bears a son who inherits some of her powers. One day, her son catches a glimpse of her true identity and Kuzunoha flees, unable to remain a devoted wife and mother.
