Kira lived in a pound for the majority of her life, or at least the parts that she can remember, and a magic maker just shows up and tells her she will have a home. You see Kira was spiecel, she was also a magic maker, and like the rest of her kind she could transform from human to animal(not like a werewolf she can do it at will and it is like a normal breed she can transform in to). She later finds out about a plan that could put humanity in to misery forever, her mission is to end that future.
