Character Sheet: The Nickit Line

NICKIT/THIEVUL


And now we come to Nickit and Thievul, a line based on red foxes, but this time mixed with gentleman thieves and bandits, more in line with Western notions about foxes instead of the mythological kitsune-type inspirations that most fox Pokemon have been based on so far.
