Submission for AnimeSuki.com's mascot competition. ^^

As 'suki' mean 'to like' in Japanese, I wanted to make a theme of it:
I chose the main character to be a human kitsune (through watching Ran at the time) even though I knew it wasn't a very original idea. I thought kitsune fit the theme of 'love' very well as in Chinese and Japanese legend they are renowed to have seduced men. AnimeSuki considers itself an intelligent site, so I thought that using 'love' in the clever way kitsune do when they manipulate men, would result in an intelligent and beautiful character; though atrociously sexy as to offend! X3

Kitsune can change their form. I decided that her outfit could also change form which would in turn give the character its flexability. Here, her kimono is acting as a blanket to keep this little Daruma warm (as she demonstrates with the other one- a little Sake always helps).

The kitsune's name btw is: Sayuri ('small lily') Suki.
