The Fox (The Fox Princess)

The fox is the deuteragonist of the episode, The Fox Princess. He is a shapeshifting fox that hears that the youngest prince wants to catch a certain bird,

directing him to a pear tree where the bird seemingly lives. The fox then transforms into a young gentleman and they go to the tree. Unfortunately, this awakens the red king and his guards, where the king grips them to retrieve the princess from the neighbouring kingdom or they would be executed. The fox transforms into a short peddler who peddles shoes to the princess and then takes the princess to the other side of the kingdom, where she dwindles the king’s marriage, so the fox transforms into a princess to marry the king for a tight period. The King explodes, making the youngest prince and the princess marry, and the fox leads them to the older princes who were transformed into stones, he asks the youngest prince if he can bring the princes back to life, but once doing so, the two princes, envious of their younger brother’s new wife, decapitated the youngest son. Leaving the fox using magic to put his head back together using leaves a green snake was wielding. In the end, the fox is seen commemorating the young prince’s new hand-in-marriage.
