Kuma Lisa (Macedonian and Bulgarian: Кума Лиса or Godmother Fox translated literally into English) or Lisa Patrikeyevna (Russian: Лиса Патрикеевна, meaning Fox Patrikas's-daughter, named after prince Patrikas,^[1] who was known as a very sly politician) or Lysychka-sestrychka (Ukrainian: Лисичка-сестричка which means Fox-sister) is a character who is a fox from Macedonian, Bulgarian,^[2] Russian and Ukrainian folklore. She usually plays the role of the trickster, as an archetype. Many folk tales as well as authored works use the character of Kuma Lisa. In many tales Kuma Lisa is encountered with another character known as Kumcho Vulcho - a wolf which is opposite to her and very often suffers from her tricks.
