But when they aren't being [[AnimalStereotypes stereotyped]] as sneaky, thieving scoundrels, these animals have a major association with another specific, yet entirely different set of characteristics in fiction: attractiveness, sexuality, and feminine beauty. The result is that whenever there is a fox in a WorldOfFunnyAnimals -- or a character with [[AnimalMotifs fox motifs]] in a work where animal motifs are commonplace -- that character will more likely than not be ''the'' MsFanservice of the cast and display a seductive, flirtatious, and/or promiscuous personality, or at least be particularly good-looking by the standards of the work. As the title implies, many examples tend to be female more often than male, but it is also possible to find a fair number of male examples.

* ''ComicBook/{{Xanadu|VickyWyman}}'': Fatima, a vixen and Tabbe Le Fauve's main love interest, is a BedlahBabe in a belly-baring harem dress. However, she is notably outdone by the unicorn Empress Alicia in the MsFanservice department, the latter being a ShamelessFanserviceGirl who has no qualms about holding court in the buff or sharing baths with other men.

The association between vixens, attractiveness, and femininity is stronger in East Asian countries such as Japan, albeit for somewhat different reasons. The {{Kitsune}} and its cultural counterparts share a reputation as {{Shapeshifting Seducer}}s who tempt mortals by transforming into beautiful women (or [[{{Bishonen}} handsome pretty boys]]), and women with pointed chins and slanted eyes forming a "V" -- often called "kitsune-faced" -- are regarded as sexy in Japan. Because of this, most example of this trope in Asian media tend to be references to these FantasticFoxes.

But when they aren't being [[AnimalStereotypes stereotyped]] as sneaky, thieving scoundrels, foxes and [[AnimalMotifs fox-themed]] characters in fiction have a recurring association with another specific, yet entirely different set of characteristics: attractiveness, sexuality, and feminine beauty. Said association exists partially because vulpines, compared to the rest of the canid family, tend to be considered "feminine" animals thanks to their lean appearance, graceful movements, and seemingly dignified demeanor. Not to mention their puffy tails, which can easily bring to mind the image of [[PrettyInMink a beautiful woman in a fur coat]]. This puts foxes in a similar situation to cats, another family of animals which are [[SexyCatPerson commonly sexualized for the same reasons]]. [[note]] Indeed, foxes are often regarded as oddly cat-like canids, with one {{memetic|Mutation}} way of describing them being "cat software running on dog hardware."[[/note]]

While this perception of foxes does influence their depiction in fiction to an extent, this trope largely manifests as a VisualPun. In the English language, the word "fox" and "vixen" are figuratively used to describe any person who is particularly attractive or sexy, the latter referring specifically to a female HeadTurningBeauty. The result is a rather distinct specificity to the depiction of vulpine characters coupled with a design that is particularly attractive within the work. As the title implies, many examples tend to be female more often than male (though male examples aren't uncommon), and may display traits ranging from a greater emphasis on feminine traits at the very least, to being an outright MsFanservice coupled with a [[ReallyGetsAround promiscuous]], flirtatious, and seductive demeanor to drive the visual pun further home.

See also SexyCatPerson for this trope's feline equivalent, along with SnakesAreSexy and SeductiveSpider for more examples of specific animals being interpreted as sexy. Not related to SilverFox, which is about attractive-looing old people, although that trope's name also comes from the association between foxes and good looks. A subtrope of FoxFolk.

Perhaps it is because vulpines are considered by people to be one of the most elegant-looking members of the canid family, with a demeanor that is viewed as graceful compared to other canids. It helps that these traits tend to overlap with those of felines, another family of animals which have been widely associated with [[SexyCatPerson a very similar stereotype for the same reasons]].

* A staple of Creator/ShoShibamoto's works, to the point of being AuthorAppeal; any featured vulpine FunnyAnimal will be a slender vixen who [[MsFanservice provides most of the manga's fanservice]], and are often depicted with [[BuxomIsBetter big breasts]], revealing outfits, or both.

* ''ComicBook/{{Xanadu}}'': Fatima, a vixen and Tabbe Le Fauve's main love interest, is a BedlahBabe in a belly-baring harem dress. However, she is notably outdone by the unicorn Empress Alicia in the MsFanservice department, the latter being a ShamelessFanserviceGirl who has no qualms about holding court in the buff or sharing baths with other men.

* ''Wiki/SCPFoundation'' has [[http://www.scp-wiki.net/scp-953 SCP-953]], a "[[Characters/SCPFoundationSCPs300To999 Polymorphic Humanoid]]". SCP-953 is a kumiho, a nine-tailed fox that can take the shape of a beautiful Korean woman and influence people's minds with {{Telepathy}} and the power of suggestion. She's also a SerialKiller who often pretends to be a {{kitsune}} to lure victims before [[IAmAHumanitarian eating their livers]].

* ''Fanfic/BornToBeWilde'': Pearl, Opal, and Crystal are a trio of ''very'' flirty artic foxes dressed in skimpy outfits who also happen to be skilled assassins/masseuses, and their looks attract the attention of just about every mammal present ([[EvenTheGirlsWantHer even the gals]]). [[BerserkButton Don't reject their advances if you value your life]], though.

As we all know, [[CunningLikeAFox cunning, wiles, and craftiness have been the fox's bread and butter]] in most fiction. Being the guileful tricksters they are, foxes have been portrayed as having a talent for conning and outsmarting others for their own ends throughout history, to the point that the word "fox" today is basically synonymous with slyness.

* Appropiately for her alias, supeheroine ComicBook/{{Vixen}}'s general design is that of a {{Statuesque|Stunner}} AmazonianBeauty, with a muscular yet voluptuous figure and a form-fitting yellow bodysuit that shows off her cleavage.

* In Russian (and/or Eastern European if you want a wider take) tradition of animal jokes, the vixen is a rather sexual character. While she is not among the most common characters, when she appears in a joke, it usually involves her cheating on her fox husband.

* ''VideoGame/BloodyRoar'': Hans 'Fox' Taubemann is a male example of the trope. He is an effeminate, scantily-clad crossdresser who [[DudeLooksLikeALady can easily pass for a woman]], and is a vicious serial killer whose [[{{Hemoerotic}} lust for blood]] is only matched by [[TheFightingNarcissist his vanity and pride in his own beauty]]. His [[{{Animorphism}} beast form]], fittingly enough, resembles a slender fox with very wide hips. (Though Taubemann ironically sees it as hideous).

* ''VideoGame/BrutalPawsOfFury'': Foxy Roxy is a curvy anthropomorphic vixen who wears tight shorts and a form-fitting tank top that [[BareYourMidriff leaves her stomach exposed]], and is the playable character with the least {{Gonk}}ish design of the entire cast of {{Funny Animal}}s.

While this perception of foxes does influence their depiction in media to an extent, this trope far more often manifests as a VisualPun. In the English language, the word "fox" and "vixen" are figuratively used to describe any person who is particularly attractive or sexy, the latter referring specifically to a female HeadTurningBeauty. The result is a rather distinct specificity to the depiction of vulpine characters coupled with a design that is particularly attractive within the work. As the title implies, many examples tend to be female more often than male (though male examples aren't uncommon), and may display traits ranging from a greater emphasis on feminine traits at the very least, to being an outright MsFanservice coupled with a [[ReallyGetsAround promiscuous]], flirtatious, and seductive demeanor to drive the visual pun further home.

But when they aren't being [[AnimalStereotypes stereotyped]] as sneaky, thieving scoundrels, foxes and [[AnimalMotifs fox-themed]] characters in fiction have a consistent association with attractiveness, feminine beauty, and sexuality considerably on par with that of [[SexyCatPerson cats]], most likely for the same reasons; the former are considered by people as one of the most elegant-looking members of the canid family, with a graceful demeanor often regarded to be unusually feline. (Hence the {{memetic|Mutation}} description of them as "cat software running on dog hardware").

* ''Animation/TheElmChantedForest'': Fifi is an anthropomorphic vixen with a noticeably curvaceous figure and the closest thing the film has to a G-rated MsFanservice, characterized here as a [[EverythingSoundsSexierInFrench French-accented]] [[TheChaanteusse lounge singer]] who is the object of both J. Edgar Bevear's and Bud E. Bear's affections.
