height/length.

shoulder height. 1 ft, 2 in.
tail length. 1 ft, 10 in.
head-body length. 34 in., 2 ft 10 in.

weight. 9 lbs.
facial markings. Black ringed eyes.
coat. Thick russet-red fur coats Romeo's body. His fur is long and silky, and the male fox vainly keeps it clean at all times. His muzzle and belly are a clean pristine white, along with the tip of his long bushy tail. His ears are classically black-tipped and tulip-shaped.
eyes. Pale gold speckled with brown.
tail. The same russet red as most of his body, but tipped in a bright white.
feet. All four of his feet have black stockings up to the knee like the majority of his species. His hind right foot is white, unlike the others. He has short blackish-brown claws.
body build. Romeo is built thin and wiry with long legs and tiny paws. This makes him nimble and agile, with quicker reactions than some. His tail is a bit longer than the average red foxes, and it streams behind him like a banner of his appearances and disappearances.

overall personality. "Sly as a fox" applies nicely to this sneaky male. He is cunning and devilish with a quick mind and even quicker feet. He can vanish and appear easily, as most of his kind can, which makes him a hard target to hunt down. Romeo is a thief and a trickster; He takes what he has no claims to and unnecessarily provokes the owner of whatever he has taken. Preferring brains to brawn, he ends conflicts by fleeing or simply hiding where he can't be found. Romeo is a flirt and a romancer, and he can lure others in with honey-coated words and false promises as easily as one might track down a blind antelope. He has a sharp tongue and quite the imagination and knowledge of insults, which he uses at pretty much any given moment. He turns into a perfect gentleman if there is a lady around, but if in the presence of males, or by himself, the red fox is a wild and aggressive creature. If he were ever so lucky to find a girl that could make him settle down, the feisty male would be at the vixens mercy. Despite all of his... bad points... Romeo is a somewhat decent critter to hang around. He is crass and blunt, and quite often unknowingly rude, but he has the kind of air that make others like his guts. When alone, Romeo sings to himself, for the fox has a love of noise and music, not that he would ever let on as much.
likes. Girls, pranks, being cunning, taunting others, playing, running, singing, thievery.
dislikes. Being caught, being tricked, quiet, haters of music, goody two shoes, overly peppy animals, super aggressive animals, snitches.
fears. Birds, being killed, being eaten, losing limbs or senses, growing old, never finding a vixen who would like him, deep water.
wants. Acquaintances, a vixen, other animals close enough for him to call his friends or allies, a good life.

past. He was born in England, far, far away from Eora. His parents cared for him as all do their young; Even more so because all the other kits his mum had birthed were stillborn or died in their first few minutes of life. One chilly night his father was teaching him how to hunt, and Romeo made the mistake of trying to take food from a humans trap. He had been caught, but luckily the human who had happened across the cage decided to 'keep' him as a 'pet'.

His 'owner' moved to the states, and Romeo was flown over there by a small animal-transporting airplane. Somewhere along the way, however, the plane crashed. He and a handful of other animals were lucky to survive and escape from the flaming wreckage. Romeo wandered for a long time, staying occasionally here or there, but never settling. After about a year he happened across Eora and made his home around the Rand River, digging a deep den out of the reaches of the clean liquid, way up on the bank between a little outcrop of rocks and leafy bushes. That is his home now, and the bright orange fox is often spotted darting around the river.
