It`s said that the West was built on legends; tall tales that help us make sense of things too great or too terrifying to believe. This is the legend of the Shape Shifter. Story goes that a Shape Shifting goddess formed a forbidden bond with a mortal human, mating with him several times. When the other gods and goddesses found out about this forbidden bond, they executed the human male and locked the goddess up. Soon after, the Shape Shifting goddess bore three children, two girls and one boy, this angered the other gods and goddesses and they planned to execute the children as penance for the Shape Shifting Goddess` sins.

It`s said that when the goddess heard about this, she bestowed upon her three children her powers, giving them the ability to shift their form at will. To her first daughter, she bestowed the ability to shift into any airborne animal, to her second daughter, the ability to shift into any waterborne animal and to her only son, she bestowed the ability to shift into any land based animal. It`s said that she then sent them to Earth.

When the other gods and goddesses came to kill the children, it`s said that in a last act of defiance, the Shape Shifting goddess used the last of her power to bestow upon several random humans, the abilities she bestowed upon her children, before committing suicide. It may be a legend, but…the thing about legends…is…sometimes they`re true.

The legend of the shifter has been known to take many forms, every religion and culture having their own stories that gradually became more and more distorted as they were passed from generation to generation. Shifters were called by many names, depending on what people believed about them. Some people believed they were shamans, people who could interact with the spirit world, and looked to them in times of hardship, few believed that shifters were skin-walkers, people who could change their form into any animal they wished and many believed that shifters were Naguals, creatures that could transform themselves into any animal. But there were also those people who believed that shifters were dangerous and evil, many of these people believed shifters to be sorcerers or witches and as a result, many shifters were burnt at the stake.

An island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, where Shifters reign supreme. This island is not on the map, you can only find it if you stumble across it or if you know where it is. Outsiders are generally greeted with hospitality and kindness, but recently, there have been threats of the Anti Shifter Terrorist Squad coming to the island and the resident Shifters have been anxious about it. Fights are breaking out between members of the same family, members of the same species and interspecies fights. Order is slowly dwindling into chaos...that is until a researcher and his/her crew are stranded on the island after their ship capsized in a storm. Some of the crew are scared of the Shifters after what they have been told, but soon they warm up to the Shifters and when the ASTS arrive, they help to fight them off.

History: Beth was born into a family by both feline shifters, so the feline blood is strong within her. She was raised as a middle child within many many other siblings. As she grew up, she went through hard training to maintain her human form when around regular people. She stopped her training in general when she turned human age seventeen because she realized she hated being in her Panther form anyway so she wouldn't bother with it anymore. When she reached the age hundred, her and her whole family moved over to the island with the other shifter races. There she made friends of all kinds, and now lives happily with her family. But she doesn't know how long this happiness will last for all of them living on the island.

Family Members: Mother, Father, 3 Brothers, and 4 Sisters

Other: She likes to spend most of her time at the beach, and let the salt water wash over her paws or human feet, depending on which form she wishes to be in.
