I don't know why you say "She's at least mostly human".
Is she a human? Is she not a fox (though she can stand)? Or is she a hybrid?
Then exactly what race is she? If let me guess, I think she is an erectus fox (and she's sapient).
If she is a human, I really worry about Wuhan pneumonia (Covid-19) plague, because this represents she can be infected by humans and can spread Wuhan pneumonia.
Frankly speaking, when I know Zoologist the NPC will come out, I not only feel excited but also feel wonderful fantastic.
Maybe because my opinion is that though she and I are different, but she can make me feel interested if she can talk with me.
And I don't think it can be exact when we consider any other races by human's viewpoint.
Why don't we consider if I am that fox, or a dryad, what is her viewpoint?
Maybe this is also why we can find Hylian, Gerudo, Zora, and Goron, they have different cultures.
We cannot force any other ethnic groups to live according to our culture, viewpoint, or standard, for example, we cannot ask or force Zora or Goron them to put on clothes.
(Truffle NPC and Nymphs in Terraria are naked, aren't they?)
Maybe recently I find that I excessively depress myself, I possibly say many meaningless words.
Because recently Wuhan pneumonia is still outbreaking, I don't want to touch people crowd, and I am also afraid of being infected.
And then recently I played "Shin Megami Tensei Deep Strange Journey", I selected "New Chaos" route ending,
and I find myself that my bond to those friendly demons even over humans in Red Sprite ship,
so I Finally understand a pathetic fact about myself, "I cannot be myself" if living in human society and I am difficultly to get along other people.
So recently I often fantasy about Greek myth nymphs, and seldom I dreamed that I talk to other races saying my perplexity,
all words I don't dare to talk to humans, I talk to other races, though that was only a dream.
Maybe this is also why I feel fantastic when Zoologist the NPC will come out. I hope she doesn't make me feel disappointed.
I don't understand what is kemomimi or kemono.
So do you mean that Sonic and Tails also don't have any fur?
If she doesn't have fur, I don't understand why so many people call her furry.
