描述

---

狸猫 are a 种族 of beast-kin who form the greatest share of 旧国's population. Possessed of bodies that tend to the portly and chubby, with some of their number using that heft to become curvaceous and voluptuous, they're stereotypically easy-going and good-natured to match their appearances. Muzzles sit upon cheerful visages graced with small, round ears, and black lips. While their 手部 are more 人类-like as opposed to paw-like, they nevertheless are covered in fine brown fur like the rest of their person. The same goes for their legs and 足部, although their fur thins out along their extremities.

While not typically obese, thick thighs, plump buttocks, and a bit of a belly are considered attractive for all sexes, as not needing to engage in manual labor and having plenty to eat is a mark of status and affluence amongst the 狸猫. A tail that is thin at the base and plushes out towards the end is also, for some reason, considered a mark of beauty for females and hermaphrodites.

狸猫 naturally come in three sexes: males, females, and hermaphrodites, the last of which are the most common. Feminine 狸猫 are noted for having some of the largest 乳房 in 旧国. 男性 and hermaphrodite 狸猫 have canid-shaped knotted members, usually ranging from five to ten inches in length. Around the time they reach maturity, 男性 and hermaphrodite 狸猫 develop their 种族's most notable trait: their 睾丸 will expand over time with stored seed, expanding to ridiculous degrees — if left unattended, the weight and size of their 睾丸 can easily immobilize an individual. This trait, known colloquially as "'nuki nuts" among Old Country peasants, is legendary among those with contact with the 狸猫 种族. This trait is nowhere near as exaggerated in half-狸猫, but can be induced via alchemical substances. Like their 狐妖 brethren, 狸猫 have certain innate affinities for magic and related fields of study, and have taken to those with gusto over the generations.

Because 狸猫 do not 繁殖 true, half-狸猫 have started to appear in greater numbers in the wake of the 诸神之战. Belhar's abortive attempt to draw 旧国 into the ranks of its many imperial provinces — fortunately cut short by the outbreak of the 诸神之战 back across the ocean — led to the would-be invaders and colonists being housed on a handful of as-yet unsettled islands on 旧国's periphery. Cordial 互动 with their provincial neighbors led inevitably to romance, and eventually half-breeds with elves and 人类 — known locally as hafus in their tongue — surfaced after a generation or two. Half-狸猫 generally retain much of their humanoid 外貌, but 熊 the round ears and ringed tail of their more animalistic ancestors, and depending on the amount of 狸猫 blood in them, may have fur about their 手部 and 足部 up to the elbows and knees. Unlike full-blooded 狸猫, natural hermaphrodites are not the dominant 性爱 amongst the half-bloods, but are roughly equal with the other two. Two and a half centuries after the 诸神之战's end and most of the original 人类 and elven settlers have left behind half-狸猫 descendants; relatively few 纯净-bred Belharans remain. As the local saying goes, with enough refinement even a mixture can become something with a unique identity in its own right. Now, there are true-breeding communes entirely of half-狸猫 across 旧国's outer islands.

繁殖

狸猫 are the most populous 种族 in the islands of 旧国, and the reason for that is clear: they like 性爱 quite a lot. Perhaps owing to the males and hermaphrodites' need to ejaculate on a regular basis or 冒险 encumbrance, they're considerably more relaxed about matters of a 性欲 nature than the other peoples of these islands.

While the practice of yobai originated with the 狐妖 and the need to sate their ever-gnawing hunger, the 狸猫 took to these night-time booty calls with gusto and soon were the prominent practitioners of this custom. Slipping into the bedrooms of unmarried women and hermaphrodites under cover of night, single 狸猫 men and other hermaphrodites would proposition the other 队伍 for 性爱. The deed lasts through the night, and the visitor departs by daybreak. While details vary from province to province, yobai was — and in some places, still is — the 主手 means through which 狸猫 effected courtship with one another, and sometimes even other peoples. If 怀孕 resulted from the bout of night crawling, intentional or otherwise, the couple would be obligated to marry and take each other as consorts. This custom, certainly, came as somewhat of a shock to the 贝尔哈兰 sailors at first.

That being aside, once 怀孕 takes hold in a 女性 or hermaphrodite, it lasts for roughly six months before anywhere between one to three 'nuki kits are born. Pregnant women and herms may slim down slightly over the duration as a side-effect of producing chubby kits; the 效果 are not permanent, though, and plenty of good food is often recommended as a preventive measure. It's certainly an excuse for them to eat better than they usually do regardless of necessity, and local customs of gifting expectant mothers food considered rich or nourishing exist in several provinces.

历史

---

Ever since the dawn of their earliest oral histories, the fates of the 狸猫 and 狐妖 peoples have been joined at the hip. As the legends go, after having received divine mandate to rule the island chain that would eventually become 旧国, the first emperor and his court went and recruited this chubby, good-natured and above all, populous 种族 of beast-kin as the first in their nascent empire. The accords and negotiations between these two clever and tricksy peoples were thorough and exacting, and a copy is still enshrined today as a reminder of the bond between these two peoples. With the foxes providing 领导力 and oversight and the raccoons providing numbers and their own down-to-earth perspectives, the two 种族 quickly swept across much of the land from north to south, subjugating the other native peoples of the islands and establishing their unquestioned dominion over the land.

With the 狸猫' side of the bargain now complete, it was time for the 狐妖 to keep theirs, which they did and more. Comprising a third to two-fifths of the population, 狸猫 have since then enjoyed comparatively privileged, middle-class positions in society: craftsmen, educated professionals, mundane engineers and architects, civil servants and small entrepreneurs. Merchant is a profession which would be notably lacking to a 贝尔哈兰 observer — merchants are considered to be folk of ill-repute, dishonest and of low social status, and thus 狸猫 are more than 内容 to leave such shameful work to other peoples despite the considerable material wealth to be accrued.

Of course, certain walks of life are still barred to 狸猫; religious callings are exclusively the province of 狐妖, not just because the Trickster should be represented by his own beloved but also because all major shrines dedicated to worship of 七神 are controlled by one 家庭 of foxes or the other. Hereditary positions in government, too, are denied to 狸猫 for obvious reasons, as are senior positions in the various ministries even if they are filled by appointment by the emperor's court.

All in all, though, the rule of the Cherry Blossom Throne has been kind to the 狸猫 as a people over the millennia, which is more than can be said of some of the other 种族 thusly ruled. A common comedic routine employed by street performers in 旧国 is to have a 狐妖 encounter some problem which stumps them. Their 狸猫 friend comes along and makes an observation that in retrospect, should have been obvious, but the 狐妖's mind is unable to perceive; with this insight and the fox's ingenuity, the problem is soon solved to the benefit of both parties. While it may be played for laughs, it nevertheless highlights the nature of the relationship between the two peoples. It is not perfect — nothing is — but it is good enough to have lasted this long, and where it fails it is antifragile in nature.

社会与文化

---

The vast bulk of 狸猫 take their social cues from 狐妖 when it comes to etiquette and culture. Those who enter public and professional circles with their foxen rulers are obligated to do as they do; 狸猫 in this league are comprised of retainers to 狐妖 lieges, civil servants, lesser officials, craftsmen who enjoy patronage from nobles, and the like. Since these positions bring with them a considerable degree of social status, many try to hold to the behaviors and mannerisms of 狐妖 etiquette in public as a mark of refinement. Relationships between 狐妖 and 狸猫 are tightly bound by laws and traditions spoken and unspoken in how one should approach the other, what one can expect from such 互动, and what the desirable outcome should be. Both peoples suffer from the demands of their nature — one to feed upon the other to sate their insidious hunger, and the other with the need of periodic and voluminous release. These traditions which govern their 互动 allow both parties to fulfill their needs safely, and provide for redress should the unfortunate occur.

Amongst their own in relaxed settings, though, 狸猫 are much more informal and gregarious: their friendly nature emerges amongst those they are familiar with, or who are of lower social position than them. This duality has led to the concept of having a "public face" and "private face" amongst these raccoon-people, and can be shocking to people from other cultures who are used to being more forthright and direct in their dealings. Where 狐妖 are expected to be refined and elegant even in their personal dealings when no one is watching, 狸猫 have no compunction about hanging up their public face like a coat and adopting what can seem like an entirely new persona when in comfortable settings.

What they like to do in such a setting, and do as much as possible, is 性爱. Males, females, hermaphrodites — they enjoy it a lot, and would do a lot more of it if not for the demands of not just 狐妖, but the other peoples they live with. 狸猫 social mores regarding 性爱 are considerably looser than what might be considered average for the remainder of the nation, and doubly so when it comes to settlements and villages where they constitute the entirety of the population and don't need to account for others' sensibilities. 家庭 structure is built around extended families, several generations of which may live under the same roof, while the house itself has perhaps been in the 家庭 for generations. While they don't observe clan ties as strictly as the 狐妖 do — any of the twelve 狐妖 den mothers could theoretically ask anything of anyone bearing her clan name, from the highest aristocrat to the lowliest peasant — they certainly take joy in having large families, which naturally come as a consequence of just how much 性爱 there is to go around. Without the need for other sapient peoples to feed upon, 狸猫 are willing to expand as far as their resources and ingenuity are willing to take them — thus cementing their numerical dominance over the other peoples of their lands.

Education is viewed highly favorably amongst the 狸猫, although the general appreciation of such is less of the love of learning in and of itself, and more of the opportunities that being educated brings — this is cemented in the Imperial Examinations which are held every three years at the capital, from which individuals are picked to fill vacant low-level posts in the civil service. Although theoretically open to every subject of the Cherry Blossom Throne, in practice it's usually the 狸猫 who have received the learning required to have a fighting chance at the examinations to begin with. The vast majority of the simpler white-collar jobs are held by them, and a few notable individuals have historically risen as high as provincial and prefectural governors by impressing their foxen overlords.
