⚝ Faolan's Shifter Journal ⚝ (OLD! SEE LAST CHAPTER)

.: Who am I? :.

⭒⸼⁺〭 ⚝ ⸢ About me ⸥ ⚝⸼°⭒⸼⁺

⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ My name is Faolan (fueh-lon)! I'm a wolf shifter, or at least, I'm supposed to be - I don't know whether I've been displaced, or it was a past life, or if I just have memories meant to be removed, but I'm trying to get back what I lost. ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑

⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ My origins were by a sort of random mutation - a suddenly appearing lycan gene, as I don't think either of my parents were... Actually now that I think about it, maybe they were and just don't know? You'll understand why in a minute! ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑

⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ I lived in an area with mostly normal wolflike lycans, though a few of them had wings and odd colors or markings. Most of them were either related to eachother or had shared spells or bites to become lycans, so most of them looked kinda similar. I was obviously not from the area when I first started shifting, because I was entirely white and pink, with a sparkling jacket marking! I know a handful of others who were like me, but all of them had come from different areas as well - I had moved down from Alaska to the lower 48 states, and some of my packmates suspect that i might have been affected by the northern lights, as I found out that there was a massive aurora at the time that I was born. We aren't sure about the others, though! ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑

⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ I first learned that I was a shifter when I was in middle/elementary school - I'm not sure when exactly. I had performed multiple wolf spells, trying to turn into a normal wolf, and one of them (not sure which one, I have some idea but I can't be certain...) had enough magic in it to awaken the shifter gene that was dormant until that point! I looked like a normal kid before, but the awakening brought my wolf features to the surface. I had to learn how to shift and didn't gain anything at first, but the features I already had were made to match the wolf form I'd awakened; my hair turned purple in the front and pink in the back (my wolf form has a mane that grows in pale purple), and my freckles turned visibly pink instead of the normal orangey freckle color. My eyes also changed from straight blue to greenish blue. I ended up looking really weird, and my eyes also went from needing glasses to almost perfect vision, so it was really obvious that something had happened - I passed it off as makeup and hair dye to people around me, but I told my parents that I'd "done a spell to turn me into an anime girl". I left out anything relating to wolves as, at the time, nobody but me knew what I'd been doing, and I wasn't sure I wanted anyone to know. ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑

⁺⭒°⸼ ⸢ I remember that the most, but not that much of anything else, so that's what this is for! A lot of what I think was my life as who I am now lines up very closely with my fragmented memories... I'm not sure how close, though, so that's why I'm getting thoughts in order. Maybe I'll figure something out. ⸥⭒⸼⁺⭑
