Beautification of the page, both in appearance and coding, done by NelaK!
Some edits (not all, bizarrely enough) that were made on 1/1/2019 were undone due to the server this page was originally hosted on crashing. These edits were re-added from the records of previous conversations in Discord. Thank goodness for logging.
Changed the Japanese word for Thunder in the Wild Kitsune area from "Sanda" to "Kaminari". "Sanda" is a Japanese adaption of a foreign word (the english word Thunder in Japanese phonetics), and as such, it has no place in something based on native Japanese Folklore.
Added more information to the traditional Kitsune coming of age, specifically that a Kitsune beginning their life's journey is forbidden to go home again until achieving their third tail.

A small note referring to Field Kitsune fitting into a "Jack of All Trades" sort of role among Kitsune.
Added Japanese names of each element of Wild Kitsune for thematic purposes.
Removed all references to specific ancestries for Wild Kitsune, added verbiage that said the items in the box can be considered examples of common traits for a particular element, and added a statement at the beginning which reflects a sort of mythos as to how Wild Kitsune came to be. Having the specific ancestry there I think was confusing people into thinking that hybrid Kitsune were a thing when it was more my intent all along to suggest them as a mythological origin for the element.
Added Special Note Regarding Nogitsune and Sinfar, because people on Sinfar seemed to think Nogitsune preying on Kitsune for their tails was a theme common for all Nogitsune when it really was something that was just made up for a specific Nogitsune for Sinfar.
Added additional note to Tails and Life Cycle at the end of the first paragraph that Kitsune often leave their parents/family upon the growth of the second tail, traditionally.
Added bit to Religion and Beliefs at the end of the second paragraph that it is forbidden by Inari to kill in cold blood.
Made every statement regarding the result of procreation with a Kitsune its own paragraph, added clarification that Kitsune hybrids do not exist.
