#11 Kit Zenko
#11 Kit Zenko (science fiction/anthropomorphic cartoon characters) Kit is the “big Boss” of the Skyfoxes, the space ranger branch of the IDF (Interplanetary Defense Force). Her base of operations is in the Rubah space station (orbiting the planet Rubah4), right size where she commands and sends out mission plans for 17 squads of rangers (while rangers can work solo, the usual habit is to work in teams of four or five; these teams are just the right size to pilot the standard patrol starship).
Kit Zenko is part of my “Kitty and the Skyfoxes” series of characters. Her character is patterned after the Japanese myths of the Fox Woman. Long and thin, a fox woman is really a fox who has lived long enough to gain mystic and magical powers. At one hundred years old, a kitsune (Japanese word for “fox”) has the power to see and hear every in the world and gain as many as nine tails (in the series, Kit has a desk that has a throne-like chair behind it, the chair looking all the world like nine fox tails spread out on the chair’s back). Other powers include shapeshifting, demon possession, mental influence, and creation of fire. All these help Kit Zenko in her job of commanding the Skyfoxes.
