Finally made a reference for Tofu!

Name: Tofu
Age: 467 (mentally and physically mid-20s)
Height: 5'6"
Weight: It's not polite to ask.
Gender: Female
Orientation: None (see lore outline below)
Personality: Friendly, outgoing, just a bit mischievous.
Bio (for Tofu's world, not Sloan's): Tofu manifested with an unusually low level of spiritual energy, and as a result was quite sickly during her first few decades of life while her spiritual energy stabilized. The result is that she cannot use kitsune magic and is form-locked into an anthropomorphic form. She was taken care of and informally adopted by a large, motherly 9-tailed zenko kitsune named Natto. Most of Tofu's early life, when not struck with illness and bedridden, was spent tinkering with karakuri clockwork mechanisms, and she enjoyed learning how they worked and eventually designing and building her own.
Tofu's inability to shapeshift and hide amongst humans meant that people would often regard her with awe or fear whenever she went to a town to buy tools and materials, but eventually people got used to her presence. In fact, it was the fact that Tofu didn't have the option to disguise herself that eventually led to better relations between Kitsune and the locals.
Over time, as technology progressed, Tofu started working with more complex mechanisms, incorporating steam, internal combustion and eventually electric power systems into her projects as was suitable. Her interests also expanded to include motor vehicles, and when the film industry started to work with more complex effects, Tofu was quick to jump in as a cinematic vehicles mechanic, which became her career in the modern age.
Tofu had a short but successful career as an onna-zumo sumotori, although you wouldn't believe it based on her current figure.
Likes: Anything mechanical, soft things, cuddling
Dislikes: The fact that she can't shapeshift or use Kitsune magic
Fears: Her spiritual energy destabilizing and causing her to dissipate


Notes: Always depicted with "Barbie-Doll" anatomy. No explicit NSFW depictions allowed.

I've got a bit of a lore dump for my take on kitsune in this submission's description here.

I'll probably do a per-tail life timelapse sequence for Tofu at some point. So far I've shown her as her normal-sized self, with five tails, and when she was a sumo wrestler with three.

The bottom outfit was actually the original outfit I came up with when I designed her. I just don't use it often because the skirt kinda gets in the way.
