Backstory ~
Deep in the heart of a dense and verdant forest, there lived a wild and free-spirited creature named Evelyn. Her long, wavy tresses of unkempt brown hair were adorned with leaves and branches, giving her an ethereal and enchanting appearance that seemed to be straight out of a fairy tale. Though she had no memory of her past or how she came to be in the forest, it didn't bother her. The forest was her home, and she was at peace with it.
Evelyn walked barefoot through the woods, feeling the soft earth beneath her feet and the gentle wind caressing her face. Her favorite place in the forest was a serene and crystal-clear lake, surrounded by towering trees and reflecting the deep blue sky. Her makeshift clothing, made of large eucalyptus leaves, barely covered her body, but she didn't care, for she was free and content in the midst of nature.
Most afternoons, Evelyn soared through the air with the birds, her lithe form moving gracefully through the boughs of the trees. In the evenings, she would swim with the trout in the lake, her skin glistening in the moonlight. She felt a sense of belonging and serenity amid nature and was attuned to the sounds of the forest - the rustling of the leaves and the chirping of the birds.
One day, as she approached the lake, she heard a snap. Her elongated, deer-like ears perked up, and she listened intently, trying to determine the source of the sound. She crouched down behind the tall grass, sinking her palms into the soft ground, waiting for whatever was approaching. As she waited anxiously, she saw a tall male slowly emerging from the bushes, holding something in his hands. Evelyn was intrigued and slowly straightened up to get a closer look, weaving around the trees, attempting to remain undetected. However, the closer she got to the figure, the more the atmosphere shifted into one that felt menacing and dangerous.
It was then that she realized the object in the man's hands was a hunting rifle, and at that moment, she let out a faint gasp. Unfortunately, it was enough to betray her presence. Suddenly, a gunshot shattered the silence, reverberated through the forest, and jolted Evelyn. She spun around on her heel to flee, but it was too late. Another shot rang out, piercing her ears, and she yelped as an intense pain coursed through her body, causing her to drop to the ground.
That was how Evelyn found herself torn away from her sanctuary and forced into a life of performance. The hunter, Gustavo Serzamentez, had come to the forest to capture the ethereal, otherworldly being.
"Bring her to me, and your family will feast for eternity." A mysterious figure shrouded in darkness spoke to Gustavo in the dark alleyways of the quiet old village. Something about him told Gustavo it was better to accept without hesitance - he had found himself entranced by this male draped in a black cloak, demanding he capture the shifter.
And so Gustavo did, wasting no time in restraining her, dragging her out of the forest, and contorting her into an antique-looking chest in the backseat of his vehicle before the doors slammed shut. The car sped off down winding roads that twisted and twirled around mountains, leading to the place where the mysterious figure had ordered him to bring the shifter.
Evelyn regained consciousness in a foreign, spacious tent. Flashing lights disoriented her vision, and as her eyelids fluttered open, a booming, enthusiastic voice spoke through a microphone.
"Evelyn! Dearest Evelyn!"
His voice petrified the female shifter, who clambered onto her feet and began darting her eyes around. Music began to play loudly, and she dropped to her knees with her hands clasped over her ears.
"Don't be afraid, darling; this is where you belong!" Boisterous laughter reverberated off of the walls of the tent. As the music began to dissipate, Evelyn slumped in defeat, and the voice began once more. The voice first explained to her in an enthusiastic tone how delighted he was to meet her at last. He called himself "The Leader", and introduced himself to her as her elder - She would not speak down to him, nor would she be defiant in any manner. She would remain here, and accept whatever instructions given to her. The Leader went on to mention, with a sense of pride, that Evelyn had no choice in the matter.
Evelyn was given the name "The Magnificent Shifter", a stage name for the mysterious circus that rolled in and out of towns during the foggiest of evenings. The circus was a place where people could come and see creatures like Evelyn - beings with otherworldly abilities and features that were beyond human comprehension. The Magnificent Shifter was the star attraction, and people from all over the world came to see her perform, marveling at her incredible feats of acrobatics and strength.
But for Evelyn, and the performers alike, it was a life of captivity and servitude; a far cry from the freedom and peace she had once known in the forest.
