But all three are very cool.
 
A new Voik quest to obsess over? Hell yeah.

[X] A simple farmer, wielding sickle and wearing robe.
 
This appears to be a vote on the foxes' general vibe, so I'll go with

I should rewatch princess mononoke

Looks like we've got a tie.

'Hello fellow human, I too, am a fellow human.'

More seriously, half of the time, when a non-human entity is trying to pass for a human in WHF it's for nefarious reasons. I'd rather change that, and be like in those japanese folk tales where a peasant helps an animal and it returns the favor.

Except it'd maybe be more like peasants helping out a random perfectly-human-not-at-all-a-fox-in-disguise traveller, and in exchange they have an extra-better harvest than usual (Ghyran), or their cattle are strengthened and less likely to turn beastman (Ghur), or a random waaagh/warherd that would raze the village to the ground passes through in the way to fight the dragon emperors but doesn't even notice the village is there (Ulgu).

Or something even more esoteric, but still benign, happens (High Magic).

This is also pretty nice imo, I like the fae-ish feeling it gives, also I am pretty sure (semi) benevolent nature spirits have been in short supply ever since the first incursion of the Ruinous Powers.

It also feels like the one that fits the best narratively, after all, that mortal called Menleth:
One of the foxes, not the least human, but not the most human either. They look at you with calm, placid eyes.
So going the route that goes in between 'full' spirit and 'full' mortal really appeals to me. Perfectly balanced as all things should be.

It was them that won the foxes their freedom so it makes sense they'd take after the One Who Fed Last Meals. Thus they become neither spirit nor mortal.
Not one, and not the other, but instead both, and at the same time, neither, instead maybe something different, and maybe something new.

That sounds like a very bad idea because those malevolent shape-shifting creatures would still be out there. Getting people acclimated to that will just make them easier to deceive by bad actors imo.

I much prefer the "spiritual protector" thing that the armored form implies. Like we're a race of minor tutalary deities or spirits.
