Inari is known to many as the harvest goddess of the Shinto religion. Japan's people have worshipped and given thanks to her for over two millenia, countless shrines have been established dedicated to her, and whole battles between rural communities have erupted in the past over the "correct" way to view and honour her, even over whether she's a woman at all. The people seem to be unaware, however, that their beloved goddess has been living among them in plain sight for a long time now. For over 300 years, aside from her usual home in the inner chambers of the Fushimi Inari-taisha, she's resided in a decently large yet less-known sub-shrine in a northern suburb of Kyoto, watching over everyone in the form of a stunningly beautiful vixen. Few aside from the family who's managed the shrine for generations have had the privilege of directly meeting her, a charming British cecaelia being one of them, and those who catch a glimpse of her when visiting her shrine usually write her vulpine appearance off as a trick of the mind. Her spiritual magic takes care of the rest, as she casts an illusion over herself to make humans perceive her as one of them when she ventures out into the city, and she currently poses as a geisha working at a local hostess club. Recently, she's sensed something very off about the flow of the world's energies. Something big has arrived and is gaining power, and without the right actions taken, this something could mark humanity's end and be bad news for all nonhumans as well. Inari began planning out how best to combat this foe and save countless innocent lives...
