[ Foxes ]
Cats came into contact the foxes of the island when Shadeclan took in a helpless cub, raising it as a member of the clan: Foxpaw. As foxes and cats normally cannot communicate, Foxpaw helped to forge an allegiance between the two species when the island was under siege by Killerstars' hunting, ending the vile twolegs assault.

● [ culture] ●
Under normal circumstances, foxes usually live alone or with a mate. As independent creatures, they can perhaps have their own beliefs, but generally do not believe in a ancestral plain after death like the clan cats. Well, not that they themselves will pass on to live up in the stars to watch over their young that is. Instead, the foxes believe in passing on amongst nature. Once death takes them, Silence will come. Their spirits and the body they left behind awaiting to be merged into another living thing. Perhaps a tree, a rock, the ocean, the river, or even the very grass and flowers they once walked on. Continuing the cycle of nature and preserving balance for future generations.
Shaman, is a line of foxes tasked with bringing balance to the Island. Preserving nature and giving wisdom. No matter who it is that asks for it. The current Shaman has tried to study other animals, in order to get into a perfect mindset and understanding. Each fox’s name is changed to Shaman once they replace the shaman before them. Most will add Shaman before their original name when telling stories of the different Shaman’s in the line. Although any fox is eligible, for the most part the knowledge is passed down to kin. They must learn the art of nature and balance, the essence of life and death, and to be neutral in many paths. Sometimes, they must ignore others turmoil if their interference would only start chaos and break the balance.
Almost all the foxes know and respect Shaman for his wisdom and guidance. Many will travel to his den and ask for his wisdom. Occasionally, Shaman will go to the Astral Meeting place and touch the shiny stone. Asking for nature’s spirits for guidance during hard times. Many go there to relax their worries, thinking the Astral Stone is magical.
Foxes tend to mate for life. And ceremonies can be preformed by the Shaman to bind their spiritual souls together for eternity. It is looked down upon if they should break this beautiful bonding.

● [ naming ] ●
Foxes names are mostly always based on nature or spirits, something that they feel they are closest apart of. At first, their mother names them based on how they look, and what part of nature they resemble the most. However, once they are old enough to leave their kin, the fox may embark on a spiritual journey to the Astral Meetings to find themself. Then they may ask the Shaman to officially name them what they truly feel is their name.
In this, they can also combine the new name, with their parents name. To show their blood line. When they do this, they put these sounds in the middle of them to show the break in between. Ow, Aw, Gro, Re.
For example, a vixen named herself Rose for her beauty and grace. But fully names herself Rose Re River from her Mother River. Names can be passed from the parents first or their parents name. Some foxes may have long names to show their long line.
