The highest social class in pre-modern societies and even in a few contemporary societies, and the status and title of a noble are usually inherited; basically another term for aristocrats, a tiny group of elite people who are omnipotent over the common people.
Nobles are born into wealth and power and often into politics, regardless of their merit to these privileges; peerage is the legal system to constitute the various hereditary titles.
From highest to lowest rank, the most common peerage titles are:
-duke and duchess
-marquis and marquise
-earl/count and countess
-viscount and viscountess
-baron and baroness
Under a feudal system, the nobility earned property from the monarch through military service.

The peasants resented the nobility for their frivolity, but at least these farmers had little to lose; the courts of the elite were swarming with ruthless intrigue, often with plots of overthrowing the royal family. Noblewomen were married off young, had little real power, and just served to manage households and produce many children (who were raised by nannies) to continue the family dynasty, never free to live or choose as they wanted.
Nobility had/have everything to lose: wealth, reputation, position, allies, public support, political influence, and life. A very public life with numerous people breathing down one's neck and threats on one's person did not help matters, either.

Get the Toboggan noggin mug.A nogitsune is a spirit on teen wolf.
A nogitsune is a dark kitsune spirit. The nogitsune feeds of chaos strife and pain.
Once the fox reaches more than 100 years of age they can take the shape of a human host by possessing them. When the human is possesed they can cause the human to do whatever they wish which often is killing others and causing chaos, strife and pain. The nogitsune is a trickster spirit, which means it can create a doppelgänger of the human host which is purely for the use of tricking people. In teen wolf it is said that you can't be a fox and a wolf, so werewolfs are immune to being possessed by a nogitsune. To eliminate the spirit from the host completely you must either change the body of the host (eg a bite from a werewolf) or kill the doppelgänger with the katana wielded by a kitsune.
