Teibou, the Fox Nun (Patreon)

Hello my patrons!

Recently I got a new magazine about Youkai in Japan, and found a new unknown Youkai girl. So I hope to introduce it as a character for my comic "Anime-Tamae!" world!

Teibou(テイ坊) is a Youkai Fox, slightly related to Yakumo Koizumi (小泉八雲) (or Lafcadio Hearn, well known by his books about Youkai) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lafcadio_Hearn

Chie Koizumi was a mother of Setsu Koizumi (She was a wife of Yakumo).

Someday  Chie helped a wild fox attacked by dog.After that event, a Buddhist Nun in dark blue clothes visited Chie.The Nun says she is "Teibou" (I feel it was an odd name for Nun, but anyway the story tells it)

Teibou gave a Koban (old gold coin in Japan) to Chie, in return for Chie saved Teibou's life... yes, Teibou was the fox Chie saved.

The legend is relatively straight one, but I feel a Fox Girl Buddhist Nun who related famous Youkai literary writer is really interesting. So I've drawn her!

Basically Buddhist Nuns have shaved head, but I feel Teibou should have long hair to represent her "fox" characteristic. But I drew also some variations!

I don't decide whether she will appear in the comic itself...But anyway more Buddhism related Youkai Girls are great! :D

Thank you for your support!
