If Yae Sakura is a foxgirl (and I missed sth in lore while playing Impact 3rd) then I'm officially joining donkey-origin camp instead. XD (Amiya PTSD triggered)
She is. Fox ears (in text reference), Far East Vixen, Higokumaru (the Honkai Spirit that she and Kallen dealt with) is called The Fox, everything about her is fox related.
*insert Bike Head Tard meme* Huh, ok. Don't get me wrong - I'm all for more foxy vixens in this world, but I've always assumed that her story was just like a typical mythology story. And you know... if a god curses you - you don't turn into a god, but perhaps into a tree. :P
