From Japari Library, the Kemono Friends Wiki
What is Kemono Friends?
|
Kemono Friends, also known as KemoFure, is a Japanese multimedia franchise created by Mine Yoshizaki, that focuses on the adventures of anthropomorphized animal girls known simply as Friends. It began as a 2015 mobile game but has expanded into a manga, stage play and wildly successful 2017 anime with multiple new projects planned for the future. While it is a relatively new IP, the franchise has succeeded in making a name for itself on its path to becoming a "series that will last 100 years".
The universe of Kemono Friends, contrary to its innocent appearance, is expansive and complex. It boasts a cast of over 400 characters as well as an intricate and puzzling backstory. What's more, much of the series' media has never seen an official release outside of its native Japan. Our wiki, Japari Library, exists as a resource for the series' English-speaking fanbase. It features translations, detailed analyses of the franchise's lore, and information on Friends and the real creatures from which they came.

The Silver Fox is a melanistic form of the Red Fox. Their fur can have different colouration; they can be between completely black or ashen in colour or have a mix of different shades of grey. Their pelt was considered one of the most valuable pelts back in the 1800-1900s and popular among Russian and Chinese nobles. Fur farmers on Prince Edward Island (Canada) bred and fed Silver Foxes with massive success and their pelts were of very high quality, being worth more than 30 times the value of regular Silver Fox pelts.
Silver Foxes behave the same as their regular red version and will mate with them and each other. Their siblings of the same litter can be of either colouration, depending on parentage. A Silver Fox mating with another Silver Fox will produce all silver offspring; Silver Foxes mating with a pure Red Fox will have mixed coloured offspring called Cross Fox; two Cross Foxes will have one to three Silver and Red Fox offspring and a Cross Fox with a Silver Fox will have 50% Silver and 50% Red Fox offspring.
The Silver Fox from Kemono Friends appeared in all media to date except the first stage play. She has long, silver hair with a band of black at the front around the eyes and big black fox ears. She's wearing a blue jacket, a light grey short skirt and bowtie, black gloves, pantyhose and shoes. She also has a big black bushy tail with a white tip.
