Kohonoye grew up never knowing his people, left to fend for himself in the wild. He lived as an arctic fox in the mountains of The Wall of Heaven. It wasn't until he saw his first human, a beautiful village girl getting water from a stream, that he changed into his natural form. Surprising himself he jumped up and startled the girl who dropped her bucket and ran back to the village. He turned back into a fox and followed the girl back to her village. Kohonoye was fascinated by humans and spied on the village for a week (and also might have eaten a few of their chickens). Wanting to return her bucket but not scare the villagers he learned of his human form. The white haired, handsome youth who couldn't speak was warily accepted into the community for a time. He spent the next year following the young woman around, helping with her chores, learning the human tongue, and enduring the beatings of her brothers. The young woman, whose name he learned was Aluki, was kind and quick to laugh, two traits not common among the Varki people.
Finally understanding human ways enough to know that by their standards he is a compulsive thief. And that you need gold to secure a wife, he joined a caravan traveling across the Crown of World into Avistan to seek his fortune. Along the way the caravan was ambushed by slavers and Kohonoye was captured. The pair of petty drow noble women who bought him were fascinated by his looks and mannerisms and found him be a fast learner. But a year as a harem slave was enough and Kohonoye changed into his fox form and escaped as soon as he could.
Kohonoye now travels Avistan as a fox, varily avoiding cities and crowds and stealing food. He is still looking for an opportunity to get rich and return to the village of his first love, Aluki.
