It's said that the more tails a fox youkai has, the more powerful it is, and the longer they are, the more clever it becomes. |

The widely regarded authority among fox youkai is this nine-tailed fox, Ran Yakumo (*1). |

Naturally, the one who has enslaved this strongest of the youkai beasts and uses her for various mundane tasks is the strongest youkai, Yukari Yakumo (*2). |
|

Ran is Yukari's shikigami. |

As a shikigami, Ran must do whatever Yukari says, but she is also capable of using shikigami of her own. |

Ran's shikigami is Chen. |

However, Chen is too unreliable for Ran to leave her work to. |

Ran is incredibly intelligent, and especially good at mathematics. |

It is said that she is capable of doing in an instant complex calculations far above the human imagination. |

However, her forte is the analysis of existing phenomena, rather than that of new concepts (*3). |

Once you reach a certain level of intelligence, you feel ashamed at acts such as theft. |

This is true for both humans and youkai. |

"Lately, a nine-tailed fox has been wandering around the edge of the village like it's been sizing up something. I wonder what the youkai are planning; it's scary." (Anonymous) |

This fox is merely making sure no untoward changes occur in Gensokyo, that the border experiences no degradation, and performing other such checks. |

These duties were originally performed by Yukari Yakumo, but it seems that Yukari grew tired of them and Ran now performs them in her stead. |

You should not challenge her unless you're extremely confident in your skills. |

Fortunately, her personality is extremely mild, and she takes no pleasure in self-aggrandizing combat, so one is unlikely to be attacked beyond reason. |

However, you must be prepared to do battle if you disrupt her work. |

She has no particular weaknesses, but she is extremely fond of fried tofu, so you may be able to avoid combat by offering her some. |

It's probably wise to carry fried tofu with you as a good-luck charm when walking animal trails. |
