Childhood
Dai was born a fox. He was born and raised on the lower rises of Mt. Fuji, in Japan. He was always a curious, dark little fox, who looked where he should not look, and pondered things he should not have pondered. This dark curiosity eventually led him down the slops of the mountain to Aokigahara, the forest at the base. Aokigaraha is more famously known as the 'Suicide Forest', where people travel from all over Japan to commit suicide. He could feel the dark, negative energies of the forest even as a fox.
While exploring one night he was attacked by a Bakemono, who had taken up residence in the forest and fed on the despair. The attack caused the fox to go through his First Change, becoming fully Kitsune.
