In these modern times, the people once variously described as "beastkin" now live peaceably among humans thanks to the efforts of their ancient druids. Seeking to restore the balance between man and nature, they were the bridge between the wild instincts of animals and the human condition. The truly powerful ones were said to shapeshift at will, and their totem animals manifested as bestial traits in their children over time. As generations passed and the beastkin assimilated into human society, these traits grew dormant, leaving only the most notable identifiers. Though Feòra is a modern descendent of the Sciuri beastkin tribe and thus exhibits the round ears and plush tail of her people, she has little in common with her totem. She is a modern teenager in every sense of the word—right down to the moodiness. One teacher described her as being "more ornery than a dog with nettles in its mouth", and coupled with the enormous spiked bat she carries around as some sort of vague statement, it's no wonder most people—human and beastkin descendent alike—give her a wide berth. It's not that Feòra goes out of her way to be violent—there's just something about the trappings of civilized society that chafes at the animal in her heart. Something is sorely missing from her life despite all the conveniences of modern times. Wasn't it ironic that everything taken for granted was the very reason she felt so alienated in the first place?
