Appearance

Arctic Fox has a clean and elegant style: amber eyes, a sweet smile, and long, full white hair. On her head lie two small, rounded ears frosted grey on the edges, as well as a large and fluffy tail emerging from her back. She wears a white frilled sweater poncho over a powder blue fur-trim uniform coat, baby-blue pleated skirt, and a large bow of the same color tied around her neck. She also wears white tights, as well as gloves.

In Real Life

The Arctic Fox, sometimes referred to as Snow Fox or Polar Fox, is a species of small vulpines belonging to the canidae family. They are indigenous to arctic tundra regions in the Northern hemisphere, such as Russia, Canada, Alaska, and Greenland.

An Arctic Fox during winter.

The most common features associated with Arctic Foxes are white fur and round compact bodies, intended to minimize exposure to cold air and blend in with their environment, an adaption highly beneficial in hunting. This appearance only lasts during winter months, however. During summer, their coats are a dusty brown less thick, resulting in a slender appearance quite far from their usual representation.

Arctic Foxes are primarily carnivorous, feeding off small animals in their habitat such as small rodents, fish, lagomorphs, birds, eggs, and decaying remains from other predator kills. Their favored prey are lemmings and birds, as they are abundant and a relatively safe food source. Occasionally, they will feed on berries and seaweed.

Trivia
