"The Magisterium teach the Fall as the birth of sin because they fear the unknown. All Eve did was dare to experience. It's an act of bravery, of great beauty. You were a monster, but look what experience did to you. What love did.
It changed you ."
- Serafina Pekkala, His Dark Materials, s3e6, "The Abyss"
Little Fox is the embodiment of shenanigans in the purest sense of the word: playing the fox. Except, of course, the Thyrsus doesn't play at being a fox. The Orphan of Proteus has shaped her soul so that she's not entirely human anymore; she's been an Orphan for at least fifteen years, and ranged across multiple continents and swum across multiple oceans. To hear her tell it, she swam from France to the east coast of the United States as a whale, traveling without a passport because she was presumed dead by the American government for about a decade and a half after her Awakening. Mostly. Rumor has it that she's got mortal family living in Philadelphia. Her cadre, the Firebirds, filled that role in her life for so long because she was afraid to face her birth family, knowing their memories of her childhood are different from hers. She has begun to mend her relationship with her youngest sister , finding that she missed a lot of time over only her own fears. Fifteen years is a long time to be afraid of shadows.
An active and devoted member of the Children of the Tree, Fox is a former Mystagogue who obtained a fairly high rank before realizing that the Children existed. She spent a decade as a member of the Mysterium, and a Child of the Tree for about four years.
Of all things, perhaps Fox is best known among Awakened society as a whole for her numerous apprentices. She has trained individuals of every Path and those who grew to join every major Order.
Fox grew up in a family with multiple werewolves and was once a Wolf-Blooded. Perhaps that has something to do with the Path she follows now. Perhaps not. Who can say?

Merry Agent Of Chaos - Little Fox can be anywhere, as long as something interesting is happening, though she does tend to avoid public mundane places, due to looking less human these days as an Orphan.
Former Mystagogue - Maybe you want to know why she left.
Shapeshifter - Always trying out new things.
High Gnosis - And leaving her mark places, whether she intends to or not.
Heart The Size Of The World - Maybe she helped you out once.

Got something to say about Fox? Put it here. :D
"It's really no wonder that Lux enjoys his company. Little Fox appears like this shallow ball of joy, but there's a lot more depth below the surface. I can't wait to learn more from them." - Mearcstapa
"Supposedly, Fox balances me out. When they're around, I'm less of a shit-stirrer, and I have fewer edges and bristles. I don't know if that's true, but I do like them quite a bit. " - Leta Abbott
