Little Fox/Introduction

"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 over a dozen years, and ranged across multiple continents as well as multiple oceans. To hear her tell it, she swam from France to the east coast of the United States, traveling without a passport because she doesn't legally exist since her Awakening. Mostly. Rumor has it that she's got mortal family living in Philadelphia. Her cadre, the Firebirds, have filled that role in her life for so long that she may have forgotten what it's like to have a mother, father, and mundane siblings.

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 has only been a Child of the Tree for a relatively short time.

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?
