Shiori was created from a very specific dream back from many years ago, back when in Japan, Shinto religion dominated as the main belief. As such, dreams originate from fears of certain kami or yokai, and as such, there are those in the waking world who developed nightmares about them.

As such, Shiori was birthed from nightmares from someone who feared that his wife was truly a kitsune for years upon years, and as such, she was created from their strong paranoia, no matter if it was true or not. Whatever it is, her personality was crafted from not only the lore and stories involving kitsune, but also, a bit from the wife which the man was wedded to, as bits of her personality weaved it’s ways through his nightmares.
