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).

A fox with nine large tails, her shining pedigree gives rise to divinity.

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).

She lives in the same house as Yukari Yakumo, and normally goes out into Gensokyo to perform her duties for her.

"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.

She's intelligent, extremely powerful, and very quick on her feet.

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.
