Unofficial lore for Raeliana. Work in progress
Item #: SCP-7731
Object Class: Euclid
SCP-7731 is housed in a humanoid containment suite at Site-██ designed to enforce a minimum standoff distance of 12 meters from non-cleared personnel. Observation is performed via one-way glass and remote audiovisual equipment.
Only female personnel, non-human animals, or male personnel with verified Class-B cognitohazard resistance are permitted direct access to SCP-7731’s chamber. Interaction periods are limited to 90 minutes per day unless extended exposure is authorized by two (2) Level-3 staff and the site psychologist.
Personnel exposed for more than 6 cumulative hours must undergo psychological evaluation. Exposure exceeding 12 hours results in permanent reassignment and long-term behavioral monitoring.
SCP-7731 does not require physical restraints and has demonstrated no resistance to containment.
SCP-7731 is a humanoid female entity resembling a kitsune (a fox spirit described in Japanese folklore). The entity exhibits fox-like ears and thirteen (13) tails. According to mythological correlation, kitsune acquire one tail per century of life; if applicable, SCP-7731 may be over 1,300 years old, though this remains unconfirmed.
SCP-7731 is 1.57 meters tall. Attempts to measure body mass yield inconsistent results due to perceptual interference; SCP-7731 describes its weight as “a lot of apples.” This descriptor has been provisionally accepted.
SCP-7731 continuously emits a perception-altering field with an effective radius of approximately 10 meters. SCP-7731 can consciously modulate the field’s intensity to a limited degree but cannot fully deactivate it.
Effects on Humans:
Male Subjects:
-Reduced critical thinking
-Increased docility and compliance
-Compulsive attentiveness
-Strong desire to remain near SCP-7731
Female Subjects:
-Heightened emotional and physical attraction
-Increased empathy and protective instincts
-Desire for prolonged companionship
Shared Compulsions:
-Desire to remain in proximity
-Urge for physical contact
-Craving SCP-7731’s attention and approval
Effects on Animals:
Non-human animals exhibit reduced aggression, increased sociability, and a tendency to remain near SCP-7731. No distress responses have been observed.
Persistence of Effects:
Exposure Duration Residual Effect
< 1 hour Minutes
1–6 hours Hours to days
6–12 hours Weeks to months
12 hours Permanent
Permanent effects manifest as lasting emotional attachment and behavioral bias.
SCP-7731 is cooperative, polite, and non-hostile. The entity does not intentionally seduce or manipulate others and expresses discomfort regarding involuntary influence.
SCP-7731 openly states enjoyment of non-sexual physical affection, particularly cuddling, and places high value on consent and emotional authenticity.
SCP-7731 presents as a youthful humanoid female with pronounced vulpine traits. The entity’s overall appearance is consistently described by observers as “soft,” “approachable,” and “calming,” a perception believed to be amplified—but not wholly created—by its anomalous field.
Notable physical characteristics include:
Hair: Long, silver-white hair extending past the waist, typically worn loose. Hair exhibits a subtle sheen under low light conditions.
Eyes: Light blue to cyan in coloration, with an unusually reflective quality when viewed directly. Prolonged eye contact correlates with intensified anomalous effects.
Ears: A pair of fox-like ears matching hair coloration, positioned atop the head. Ears demonstrate responsive movement consistent with emotional state.
Tails: Thirteen (13) fox tails, matching ear coloration. Tails are highly expressive and frequently used to envelop SCP-7731’s body when seated or resting. Tail movement appears to correlate with emotional comfort rather than threat display.
Build: Petite frame, approximately 1.57 m in height. Physique is slender, with no abnormal musculature or skeletal deviation observed.
Attire: SCP-7731 favors dark, modest clothing with soft contours. Outfits are consistently practical and non-restrictive, often exposing minimal skin. Foundation-issued garments are accepted without resistance.
Accessories: SCP-7731 frequently wears small hair ornaments. When questioned, SCP-7731 refers to them as “comfort things.”
SCP-7731 is often observed sitting with knees drawn close to the torso, arms wrapped loosely around the legs, or reclining while allowing its tails to rest against nearby individuals or objects. This posture appears to be a self-soothing behavior rather than an intentional invitation for contact.
SCP-7731 remains classified as Euclid due to:
-Passive continuous anomalous emission
-Risk of irreversible psychological alteration
-Dependence on procedural containment
Interviewer: Dr. A. Kaczmarek (Female)
Interviewee: SCP-7731
Location: Containment Suite 7731
Note: Interview conducted with acoustic dampening enabled. No physical contact permitted during interview.
Dr. Kaczmarek: Good evening, SCP-7731.
SCP-7731: Good evening. You’re allowed to be here today?
Dr. Kaczmarek: Yes. I volunteered.
(Pause. SCP-7731 nods.)
SCP-7731: Thank you.
Dr. Kaczmarek: You’ve been described as cooperative. Do you feel that’s accurate?
SCP-7731: I try to be. It’s easier when people tell me what they want instead of… wanting things without asking.
Dr. Kaczmarek: You’re referring to your anomalous effect?
SCP-7731: Yes.
(Pause.)
Dr. Kaczmarek: Do you ever use it intentionally?
SCP-7731: I can… lean into it. Soften it. Quiet it a little. But it’s always there. Like warmth. If someone gets close, they feel it whether I want them to or not.
Dr. Kaczmarek: Does that bother you?
SCP-7731:
(Long pause.)
It makes it hard to know what’s real.
Dr. Kaczmarek: Real in what sense?
SCP-7731: If someone stays… is it because they want to? Or because I made it easier for them to want to?
Dr. Kaczmarek: What do you want?
SCP-7731:
(Quietly.)
To sit next to someone. Not be alone. Not be feared.
I like cuddling. It makes the world slow down.
I don’t like taking things.
Dr. Kaczmarek: You don’t appear to.
SCP-7731: Thank you.
(SCP-7731’s tails shift slightly. No anomalous spike recorded.)
Dr. Kaczmarek: Do you understand why we keep distance?
SCP-7731: Yes. I don’t want to hurt anyone by accident.
Dr. Kaczmarek: If you could change one thing about yourself, what would it be?
SCP-7731:
(After a long silence.)
I’d like people to choose me the hard way.
Dr. Kaczmarek:I could think some already do.
(Interview ends.)
Purpose:
To evaluate onset, progression, and persistence of SCP-7731’s anomalous influence under controlled exposure durations.
Note:
SCP-7731 was informed of testing parameters and consented to participation under the condition that no subject would be exposed beyond Foundation safety thresholds without review. SCP-7731 requested that subjects be treated “kindly afterward.” Request acknowledged.
Test D-7731-01
Subject: D-22194 (Male)
Exposure Duration: 10 minutes
Distance: 8 meters
Physical Contact: None
Observations:
Within 2 minutes, subject demonstrated relaxed posture and decreased verbal hostility. By minute 6, subject initiated conversation without prompt and requested permission to sit on the floor closer to SCP-7731.
Subject repeatedly described SCP-7731 as “safe” and “easy to listen to.”
Upon removal, subject reported mild disappointment and lingering calm lasting approximately 15 minutes.
Result:
Effects consistent with short-term exposure baseline.
SCP-7731 Comment:
“He didn’t seem scared anymore. That was nice.”
Test D-7731-02
Subject: D-39811 (Female)
Exposure Duration: 45 minutes
Distance: 6 meters
Physical Contact: None
Observations:
Subject exhibited increased attentiveness and positive affect. Expressed desire to “keep talking” and asked personal questions unrelated to test parameters. No cognitive impairment observed.
Post-exposure interviews showed elevated empathy toward SCP-7731 lasting approximately 4 hours.
Result:
Emotional bias without compulsion.
SCP-7731 Comment:
“She asked if I was lonely. I didn’t know how to answer.”
Test D-7731-04
Subject: D-55203 (Male)
Exposure Duration: 3 hours
Distance: 5 meters
Physical Contact: None (subject requested; request denied)
Observations:
Subject became increasingly compliant and attentive. Demonstrated visible distress when informed exposure was ending. Attempted to negotiate extended time, stating SCP-7731 “needed company.”
Post-removal effects persisted for 36 hours, including fixation, repeated requests to return, and emotional agitation.
Result:
Confirms medium-duration persistence escalation.
SCP-7731 Comment:
“I didn’t ask him to stay. I wish he hadn’t felt like that.”
Test D-7731-07
Subject: D-77102 (Male)
Exposure Duration: 11 hours
Distance: 4–6 meters
Physical Contact: None
Observations:
Subject developed strong emotional attachment and compulsive desire for proximity. Upon removal, subject became withdrawn, repeatedly stating concern for SCP-7731’s wellbeing over personal safety.
Effects persisted indefinitely. Subject later volunteered for unrelated high-risk assignments if promised reassignment near SCP-7731. Request denied.
Result:
Exposure approaching permanence threshold.
SCP-7731 Reaction:
Subject terminated early at SCP-7731’s request. SCP-7731 was visibly distressed and requested isolation afterward.
Test D-7731-09 (CANCELLED)
Proposed Exposure: 12+ hours
Status: Cancelled by Ethics Committee vote
Rationale:
Existing data sufficient to confirm permanent alteration risk. SCP-7731 expressed clear discomfort with inducing irreversible effects.
“I don’t want anyone to belong to me like that.”
— SCP-7731
Ethics Committee Note:
Further long-duration exposure testing is suspended. SCP-7731’s anomalous effect is passive, well-documented, and does not require escalation testing. Continued cooperation is contingent on maintaining ethical containment standards.
Status: Recovered from personal luggage left at █████ Inn
Condition: Handwritten notebook, moderate weathering
*Note: Entries cease abruptly
Entry — Day 1
I forgot how quiet it is here.
The mountains look smaller than I remember, but maybe that’s just because I grew up. Everyone still tells the same stories. I overheard the innkeeper mention the old fox spirit again—said it jokingly, like people do when they don’t want to admit something still lingers in their thoughts.
We used to go looking for her when we were kids. Never found anything.
Still, I remember the path.
Entry — Day 3
Went up the trail today.
No real reason. Just… habit, I guess. The forest feels unchanged. I sat for a while and listened. I don’t remember doing that much when I was younger. I was always in a hurry then.
I thought I heard someone moving nearby. Probably wind. Or an animal.
Felt rested afterward. More than I should have, considering the climb.
Entry — Day 5
People say the legend claims she listens.
Not grants wishes. Not tricks people. Just listens.
That’s an oddly specific thing for a story to remember for five hundred years.
I went back up today.
Entry — Day 6
I saw her.
I don’t know why I’m not more alarmed by that sentence.
She didn’t come closer. Didn’t speak at first. Just… existed. Fox ears, tails—more than I could count at a glance. I expected fear. I didn’t feel any.
She asked why I was carrying so much noise with me.
I didn’t know how to answer.
Entry — Day 7
I stayed longer today.
She doesn’t ask questions the way people do. She waits. It makes answers come out differently. I talked about work. About the Foundation, though I didn’t name it. About how tired I am of knowing what things are capable of.
She didn’t comment on that.
She said the mountains remember soldiers.
I think she meant it literally.
Entry — Day 9
I didn’t mean to stay this long.
It’s strange—there’s no sense of time passing up there. Not like dissociation. More like… nothing urgent exists. I keep meaning to leave earlier. Then I don’t.
She doesn’t touch first. That feels important.
When I leaned against her tails, she stiffened for a moment. Then relaxed. Like she was deciding something.
Entry — Day 11
I think I understand the story now.
“Those who stay too long forget the road home.”
It’s not that you forget where the path is.
It’s that the idea of leaving stops feeling necessary.
She told me people with weapons scare her. She says they always say they’re here to protect something. Then they hurt things anyway.
I didn’t argue.
Entry — Day 12
She asked me to stop writing about her.
Not angrily. Gently.
She said words make people come looking.
I think I will stay a little longer.
Just until things are quiet again.
Final Entry (Undated)
Someone else is coming.
I can hear them farther down the mountain. Heavy steps. Metal sounds. She noticed too. She moved away from me when she heard them.
She told me to be quiet. That this wasn’t for me.
I don’t think she wants to be found.
I think she’s been trying not to be.
Following the disappearance of Dr. ████████ during authorized personal leave, SCP-7731 was located, identified, and brought into Foundation custody without resistance.
Containment was achieved through voluntary compliance after initial contact protocols were revised to exclude visible weapons and reduce personnel presence.
Imma write something cheerful about her here! Like... how she makes a friend that comes every now and then to avoid permanent effects or something!
Just... gotta figure it out!
The diary bit is also missing an interview with the doctor after he was found.
