acuere-prior to being a fairy tale, was a regular (male) fox who was well known to a small french village for harassing their livestock (mainly their chickens) and being a rather wily escape artist. Eventually those humans caught up with him and killed and skinned him.
-some years prior to 1170 the Reynard cycle started up, and Reynard came into being as an oral fairy tale.
-she proceeded to spend more of her life running from and evading humans. Because of her appearance humans took her to be some kind of werewolf or canine monster and therefore their opinions of her ranged from 'pest' to 'dangerous as hell'.
-met Beowulf when he heard about her through the grapevine. He thought she was some grand, legendary wolf beast and when he showed up to slay her was sorely disappointed. This is the first time she uses her ability - unhappy with a life of running from humans she convinces him to let her tag along on his monster hunts.
-travels around with Beowulf, learning to fight and developing her ability Silver Tongue.
-got her Story after Beowulf.
-after hearing of all of Beowulf's manly epic stories of defeating monsters made her envious as her life had been spent being hunted, and made her want to be a fierce warrior
-she starts using her ability to spread the lie that she's the strongest warrior ever
-Gilgamesh hears about this, finds her, runs her through with his sword and spits in her face
-from then on she becomes far more standoffish, not using her ability often
-mostly sticks with Beowulf
personality:
-comes across at first glance as aloof and standoffish
-acts very calm and deadpan, cynical, blunt (doesn't hesitate to tell Beowulf when he's being dumb)
-inwardly a lot more idealistic? Wishes she could be a great heroic warrior who does noble deeds likes Beowulf
-very conscious of getting overconfident, since that's what got her injured with Gil
-guarded, doesn't let people in - keeps them at an arm's distance
-very aware of how foxes are seen by humans (poorly) and the poor reputation of Reynard
-not actively working to change this, though she actively works against falling into a behaviour that promotes that poor view
-a little jaded and bitter towards humans for this
-has morals, mostly because of Beowulf
