Tsukana Shinobi Dearu, a Junior High Japanese kid, is quite an anomaly, even for her world. A world of werewolves and elves and Meif'wa's. She was probably the rarest of the bunch, a Winter Shapeshifter. Thought to be extinct over one hundred years ago, Tsuki is now a source of entertainment for researchers and scientists. Not only is she avoiding those, she suffers from a missing eye in an accident, and has to use a robotic eye, but she is also an empty shell for her parents' consciousness, who take control of her every move. There are very few people she can rely on. Her friends, Shadow Cortez and Phoenix Kai. Her brother, Jikan Shinobu Dearu. And her Sidhe, Nyamau, a small Japanese Cat-Yokai.
