[She can't help herself--not least of all because she's an inveterate tease who's probably a little too brave and headstrong in most circumstances, and she thinks she's just fine, tyvm.

But, while they're putting holes in the fourth wall...]

And if the best actor is a fox spirit, does that mean the physical comedy sidekick ought to be a tanuki?
