Raposa
The Raposa are the main race of creatures inhabiting the universe of the Drawn to Life Series. They are anthropomorphic, sentient, and act mostly like humans, appearing to be the only creatures to be able to do so. All Raposa are monotheistic and acknowledge the fact that The Creator exists, although not all are happy with it, the most infamous example being Wilfre.
Appearance
Template:SubTabRapo A Raposa's appearance is generally both fox-like and humanoid. Their bodies are covered in fur (Orange, Rust, Yellow, Brown, Tan, Light/Dark Grey) all except for their faces. Like real foxes, all Raposa have long upright ears, a distinguishing feature. However, they appear to lack tails. Female Raposa have no fur over their ears, whereas males do.

Trivia

- In Drawn to Life: The Next Chapter, running around a Raposa in a tight circle will almost always result in the Raposa displaying a "confused" emote-bubble.
- "Raposa" in Portuguese means "fox." The name Raposa is probably a reference to their fox-like ears.

- As confirmed by lead-artist Chern Fai, male and female Raposa have distinctive ears to better tell them apart.[1]
- Along with everything else in their world, the Raposa were originally created using the Book of Life.
- The RapoBoy and RapoGirl don't appear in the DS sequel, except for Cindi, who uses the default RapoGirl sprite.
- It seems to be dominant to have orange fur, as there are very few Raposa with fur of other colors. This may also reference that they are based on foxes.
- Raposa say, "Rapo" often, probably a shortened version of their species name. It is also in the name of certain items, such as "Rapo-Coins."

- Brown trousers appear to be popular among Raposa.
- In the original Drawn to Life on DS, the Raposa will sigh when the DS is closed. When it is opened back up, they will cheer.
