History:

• Coco (backstory)

Found in the forest by a mage he took her in as a pet/servent in the form he enjoyed of a female elf. Never seeing a use in teaching her anything above following his commands. Often using her to test his magic, he instilled in her a deep fear and hate of magic. Her only solace was the peace she found at night snuggling with the other pets (wolves) in the cages. After years of abuse she got the courage one day after he tested a harm spell on her. As she ran she felt the fireballs lick her skin, even long after she lost the mage she still ran until her battered form could no longer continue.

Found later by a monk, she found herself mesmerized by his glowing eyes. As he bandaged her wounds, she listened to him speaking words she couldn't understand. He taught her to defend herself a little, but soon he had to move on. Alone again in the forest with the little knowledge she had she took the form of a wolf and lived as such until he day she happened across the city of Elysia.

• Garm (IG history)

Unsure of contact with others she styed near the forest of Elysia. Slowly finding she wanted to ineract more and more with ohers she one day slipped out at elfgate as a small group of people tossed her food slowly started peting her gently. The contact was something still knew to her but she soon learned she enjoyed people fawning all over her. One of the ones that treated her best soon started calling her "Garm" and places a gold belt around her neck as a collar. He often took her with him on trips to Mikona, where one day he just vanished. In M'Chek alone she learned to upgrade her wolf form to a worg, thou soon learned she got far less snuggles that way.

• Kittys!

Returning to Elysia alone She came across a small fluffy animal, and as she watched it she noticed the attention it got more then even her loved wolf form, she too was overtaken by the power of its cuteness. Watching it closely she soon learned its form and turned herself feline. Finding the new form comfortable she continued to live mostly as a cat, though as time passed she became more and more curious about people and found she desired to interact as one of them. Though her mind still as a child's in many ways she was to say nicely as dumb as a brick. (int/wis 8) She fell in love with the "smaller" races learning brownie and halfling from new friends. Though still obsessed with felines she had a fake tail made and added to all her cloths that she treated as real. Having never been told what a "changling" is Coco would often change form openly without care.

• Coco/Coran

Life went on pretty much like that awhile, Adjusting as best she could to life as a person she became close friends with several people she met in her trips between Elysia and Mikona. Although sometimes her lack of intelligence would cause some problems, Coco could not fully understand many things but she could feel her friends frustrations around her sometimes. Then one day a friend decided to test a theory on her, Coco still hated and feared magic but had learned to trust her friend. So when one began casting on her she winced but didn't run. Suddenly it was as if a flood gate of information washed over her, her mind was finally able to grasp concepts such as math and the common language. For hours she was amazed at the world around her and all she could learn she tried to absorb like a sponge. However, it did not last and she could feel herself slipping as the spell began to fade. Then she was back to "normal" though now she felt like she was missing something. Her friends tried to teach her in a way she could remember a way to simulate the effect with cordials of wit, so for weeks after coco walked around singing "When coco need think, coco need drink purple drink!". Soon friends were keeping a small supply of them to hand to her just to get her to stop singing. The effect on her personality was noticable as well, as her formerself "Coco" was a bundle of energy with no shame or understanding, her new self aided by the intellegence was afar more shy and embarresed by her actions as coco, soon her frensds begane calling the smart vertion "Coran" a shortened vertion of her full name of Coranthia. A more stable solution was found when she was given a gift of a ring of clear thought +2, As long as she wore it Coran was the predominate personality, though occationally causing her headaches so bad she would have to remove the ring to let coco out to play.
