  1. & Sucrose has expressed a desire to create some kind of fairytale realm through alchemy, maybe to recreate the dandelion sea or something like it in teyvat? Also, if you look on the bottom of her shoes, there are little paws on them :3

  2. i don't have yae, but both diona and sucrose has paw patterns under their shoes, but if yae has then maybe they match sucrose's. Gorou doesn't have any though for som reason.

  3. Diona and Gorou have a tail, while Miko's and Sucrose don't
    …At least at first sight
    (Okay, neither do Draff and Olaf, but they are npc so maybe it doesn't count)

  4. Originally kitsune were basically chinese succubus before making their way to Japan, which is why they always appear as beautiful women. (Although in Japan they are mostly benevolent and serve the god Inari)
    So it makes sense that the kitsune in Inazuma came from somewhere else originally as well, I always thought maybe they were one of the adepti in Liyue however they could have also lived in Mond.

    Extra facts about kitsune, there are about five types and can have either gold, white or black fur. The stronger kitsune is the more human they look (along with the tails thing), and the most infamous kitsune was known as Tamomo no Mae who apparently wreaked havoc in China, India then met her end in Japan.

  5. If you want to know more about the trickster foxes in German mythology, check out the 'Reynard the Fox'. It is pretty interesting as the fox is cunning but the main protagonist and not the evil.

  6. sucrose is one of the most mysterious character, it's a shame that we don't know about her very much and she basically doesn't appear in the storyline, only in albedo's story quest and windblume festival, yet still talking with her then didn't give us any information about her 🙁

  7. I think it's worth noting that myths of fox spirits like the 9-tailed fox originated in China before spreading to Japan and Korea, so the "coming by sea" could reference how the tales traveled overseas into Inazuma. And since Liyue is Teyvat's representation of China and it has a large border with Mondstadt, I think that the Dandelion Sea is likely somewhere along the shared border of the two nations.

  8. I always thought that Sucrose is confirmed as someone descending from a Kitsune bloodline. Didn't expect it to be unconfirmed.

    What fascinates me as well is the fact that Mondstadt is miles away from Inazuma to have Kitsunes since it's from Japanese culture. Unless off-course, they're not region specific.

    Great video btw! That book is one of my favorite. It's a very tragic story. Reminds me of an animation that I watched (forgot the name).

  9. there's a family outside mondstadts gates near the entrance (aka near timmie) called parsley and rosemary along with their son sage.
    sage read that book 😀
    and his parents told him to just keep believin

  10. There's also a mention of fox lady in one of the teahouse in liyue( I don't remember what its called) but if we look into the real lore about kitsune/fox spirit they actually originated from china, so i have a theory that's kitsune are actually from liyue or atleast where they learn they're magic from.

  11. That story, the Fox and the Dandelion Sea, sounds like it's loosely based on a story I've heard many times before. There are often stories in myths about a hunter saving a wild animal and letting it go free only for it to turn up later as a woman. The animal's child is often the hunter's child that he had with her. The ending is an interesting twist to that trope of stories. There's actually quite a few stories like that in European mythologies such as Norse and Celtic, which is where Mondstadt gets a lot of its visuals and lore. So it fits in a way. They don't even have to have animal characteristics in their human forms. Sucrose being one of those Kitsune though might not be far from wrong. It's an interesting thought.

  12. I would assume that if the dandelion sea would be in the game, that it would be a dungeon of some sort similar to one time story areas like the gates to the afterlife in Hu Tao's event. Infinite dandelions seems too much. That or the area has a lot of normal dandelions we usually see but is also filled with faux dandelions similar to grass.

  13. So… personally, I don't think Sucrose is a fox as her story states something about being distantly related to Diona's family, but I do think she might have some sort of connection to the Dandelion Sea, assuming the place wasn't "Foxes Only".
    However, I do think she might be some mythical being as Albedo states she's around his age and he's a little under 500 years old, she might not be what most people think she is.
