Physical Description

True Form
Like all other kumiho and kitsune, Min-Su in their true form resembles a large, lithe fox with long, wide ears that stands 3'6" at the shoulders, carrying a glass orb in their mouth. The fox spirit's entire body is colored with dark umber fur, with their cheeks, throat and belly a creamy white, and their paws on each leg a brownish-black. Their twelve tails mostly match their back, and are tipped white, with three black stripes on each tail. Min-Su in this form has wisps of spirit fire at the tip of each tail; owing to the pecularity of their existence, six of these wisps are light blue, and the other six are teal. Like many other fox spirits, Min-Su wears a mask, leaving their features obscured; said mask is made of some strange wood from the spirit world, painted white with red markings around the eyes and on the forehead.


Disguised form
Min-Su's disguised "humanoid" form is around average height for the mortals they interact with the most, the Shijie-ren, around 5'6". Their clothing takes aspects from Sheng-Gu and Songtu regional norms, with an elegant silken robe that goes down to their feet held closed with a sash, more typical of Sheng-Gu, over which they wear a flowing, loose jacket more common in Songtu. Unlike either province, however, Min-Su wears a red headscarf to cover their head, and a modified version of their wooden mask over their face. Additionally, they also wear silken gloves to hide their hands. In this form, the fox's glass orb becomes the centerpiece of a necklace of prayer beads, half of which are teal, the other half of which are blue.

Personality
Owing to their being a kumiho, Min-Su's personality is overall mischievous and aloof. They tend to prefer their privacy in personal matters, and while otherwise warm, welcoming and friendly, will eschew intimate connections in favor of social distance, even with people they consider friends; fitting, for one who wears a mask all the time. 

Due to their particular situation of being essentially two kumiho stuffed into one body, their personality can differ slightly based on whether the masculine or feminine aspect is fronting.

The masculine aspect of their personality is the more aloof, distant of the two. It tends to make Min-Su more gruff, uncaring and generally more likely to follow their own conscience and desires without regard to other people's opinions or thoughts while it is in front. While certainly far from heartless, the masculine aspect seems to be more stoic and blunt of the two, and tends to make Min-Su impatient and rash.

The feminine aspect of Min-Su's personality, by contrast, is more sociable and caring. It tends to make the kumiho more amicable, warm, and generally more conscious of other people's thoughts and feelings when they're making decisions while it is in front. This aspect makes Min-Su more given to pondering and thought, making them slow down and think about their options before taking action.
