** Tamamo is all but outright said [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous to be named for Tamamo-no-Mae]].
** Tenko [[ADogNamedDog is a tenko]], here a virtuous nine-tailed fox that's lived for over a thousand years and has slowly lost their tails until only four are left, who possesses strong divine powers and has achieved deification.
** Osaki is named for osaki, [[NonIndicativeName evil fox spirits]].
* FoxFolk: The fox spirits' humanoid forms resemble humanoid foxes to those who can see past the illusion.
* InvisibleToAdults: The glamours disguising them as human only work on adults, in terms of mental maturity as the childish Reiko-sensei can see through them while the Public Morals Girl is fooled.
* LivingStatue: Tamamo and her sisters are the fox statues outside Inari's shrine in Kyoto, they occasionally revert to statue form in class, and can talk to other statues.



* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Tamamo and her sisters are somewhere in the range of centuries old, with a footnote in chapter 22 commenting Tenko has two thousand years of firsthand experience to impart, and Nakki in chapter 60 and a footnote in chapter 62 saying Tamamo's over a thousand years old.
* ShapeshiftingExcludesClothing: Tamamo and Osaki can't change their clothes as part of their disguise (aside from their underwear), but Tenko can.
* SharedFamilyQuirks: Tamamo, Tenko and Osaki are all completely clueless about their human disguises not being perfect.



* FishOutOfTemporalWater: Tamamo finds all sorts of modern day objects, from trains and bicycles to TokyoTower, to be utterly amazing and worth pointing out.
* TalkingInYourSleep: Tamamo falls asleep in her first period class on her first day of school. During this time she talks in her sleep about how she was granted permission to pose as human and go to school by Inari Okami, but that she would be punished if her true nature became widely known. Her classmates, upon hearing this, all decide they can't let her know she isn't fooling them.
* WindsOfDestinyChange: Tamamo is prone to causing good fortune around her, particularly if someone prays or makes offerings to her. If someone gets her mad, however, they find themselves afflicted with misfortune.



* EmbarrassingRelativeTeacher: Tenko gets a job as a teacher in volume 2, and almost immediately starts singling out her little sister for the hard questions.



* CantHoldHisLiquor: Osaki; according to Tamamo, just the smell of liquor gets her drunk.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Osaki, which is surprising given her ShrinkingViolet nature. She gets flustered/angry when [[spoiler:other girls flirt with Motoki, one the few boy students that are aware of Osaki and her two sisters' true forms. Sadly, Motoki is unaware of this crush.]]

[[folder:Nakki]]
* ACupAngst: Nakki's a bit touchy about being flat-chested.
* AcademicAthlete: Nakki is the best between herself, Tamamo, and Mikki at academics. She's also a naturally gifted athlete, as she's shown outperforming Tamamo at multiple sports with minimal effort. She declines to join any athletic clubs, however, because, gifted though she is, she can never remember the actual ''rules'' of any sport.


Added DiffLines:


[[folder:Kagachi and Mitarai]]
* BigGuyLittleGuy: The rather tall Kagachi is the "big guy" to her "boss" Mitarai.
* BoisterousWeakling: At one point, Mitarai talks a big game about how she'll take on Tenko, then [[INeedToGoIronMyDog quickly excuses herself]]. A footnote for the page notes that while she puts up a bold front, she's actually a bit of a wuss.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Kagachi was a pet weasel who got left behind when her owners moved house, and was found by Mitarai, who took her in as her underling.
* FaceOfAThug: With her dark skeleton-themed hoodie, [[HugeSchoolgirl tall lanky build]], ever present borderline SlasherSmile, shifty eyes constantly shadowed by said hoodie and bangs, and her constant chuckling to herself, Kagachi's probably the most physically intimidating girl in school. She even manages to get the strict Public Morals Committee girl to back off by simply staring at her and laughing quietly. [[spoiler:While early on, it's implied that she's not as averse to making new friends as Mitarai, later chapters establish her as rather kind-hearted, friendly, and eager to make new friends. Her growing friendship with Tamamo and Osaki have her open up more to the rest of the school, though she clearly still considers Mitarai her BestFriend.]]
* TheHyena: Kagachi is often chuckling to herself when she doesn't have anything to say. May overlap with MirthlessLaughter at times since she even does it when she's clearly embarrassed.
* MyInstinctsAreShowing: Mitarai:
** While foxes, weasels and raccoons all stick to their territories, among the shifters only Mitarai is particularly invested in her turf.
** Mitarai always washes her food, which has the expected results when she washes cotton candy.
** Raccoons are known to take in orphans and raise them alongside their own young, reflected in Mitarai's propensity to consider taking in lost or orphaned animals and children.
