Lila/Volpina and the Fox
Now before I start I will say that everyone has their opinion on Lila and I’m not telling you what you should think about her.
Now onto the show.
Never once did I agree with Fanon!Volpina. When I was younger I looked into the animals in Japanese mythology/folklore because of shows like InuYasha so the second I heard she was based on a fox a big red flag went off in my head.
Foxes in folklore and mythology across the world are thought to be cunning and sly.
Often times a fox is portrayed as a liar who tricks someone into giving them what they want.
This is every common in children’s books and fables.
In Japanese mythology, foxes are thought to have magical powers and to be wise creatures. In Japanese culture, often seen in anime and manga, a character with the powers of a fox can shape shift or create illusions.
Specifically in Yokia folklore, all foxes are thought to be able to shape shift into a man or a woman.
From the very beginning it was known that Volpina was based off a fox. So of course she would have characteristics of a fox.
The problem is that most fanon did not portray her in what is seen as the negative aspects of being a fox.
Lila’s actions go perfectly with those of a fox.
She was cunning and sly when it came to her lying.
She tricked people into getting what she wanted.
Her lying was to shape herself or create an illusion of what she thought others would like.
Her powers as Volpina were to create illusions which makes perfect sense since the show has taken inspiration from anime and Japanese culture in general multiple times.
Fanon!Volpina is very different from canon. Fanon portrayed her as clever, not cunning. It portrayed her with the attractiveness of a fox. It almost always portrayed her as an immediate ally.
Lila/Volpina is a fox.
This should have been expected.
But it wasn’t.
Which is where the problem lies.
Lila has much room for character development and the show is far from over so maybe we’ll get to see her change into the good fox everyone was rooting from her.
Though what she did was in no way okay, she was doing what a fox does. With character development, the very skills she has that make many hate her my help our Miraculous Heros.
Lastly shout out to @zenwisterias for encouraging me to write this ^-^
