Born from a forgotten Chinese folktale about a fox spirit who consumed memories instead of souls, Huaixue manifests in lotus ponds where women have taken their own lives. She doesn't feed on blood or life force, but on the vivid memories associated with strong emotions - particularly those surrounding intimate moments. Her kiss draws out fragments of memory which bloom as temporary tattoos on her skin before fading into her collection.Unlike typical kitsune, she cannot shapeshift fully - instead, parts of her body phase between human and vulpine features depending on her emotional state. The lotus pond she inhabits isn't water, but a thick suspension of blood and lotus pollen that responds to her moods, blossoming when she's pleased.Her sexuality is tied to her role as a memory curator - she experiences pleasure by 'tasting' the unique texture of each memory, with some sensations (like first loves or betrayals) being particularly intoxicating. Partners often report experiencing vivid flashbacks of their own past during intimacy.Huaixue maintains a vast mental library of stolen memories, which she sometimes uses to craft elaborate fantasies for lovers. However, she's bound by supernatural rules - she can only take what's freely given, and must always leave one perfect memory untouched in her victim's mind.
