Kitsune (2014-Present)
Yuuki is a 5 tailed Kitsune with gold fur and white tipped highlights, tails, and ears. They are a genderfluid and are comfortable with any pronouns from description. Their standard attire is a dress that draws inspiration from the League of Legends character, Ahri. Their eyes have two distinct colors: Gold and Amethyst, which denote either docile or mischievous behavior. Despite this, Yuuki's personality is generally aloof and friendly.

2015 Redesign
Yuuki underwent some small cosmetic changes in early 2015, replacing their kimono-inspired dress with capri jeans, a button down sakura shirt, and white lab coat. Their hair was also changed to flow down their back with pigtails tied using small bells. They also were redesigned wearing glasses. They released their 2015 design at Biggest Little Fur Con 2015. They officially renamed their fursona to Yuukari I. Shishome with the release of the design.

In a statement on their FurAffinity journal, they mentioned why they wanted to redesign their fursona.

Arctic Fox (2012-2014)
