About

Name:	Alyssa Lysander ✪ ＬＹＳ

Mini Bio

Alyssa is a shapeshifter (shifter for short). If you want to find the people who make the magical would go 'round, look for the shapeshifters. Shifters take up jobs in positions of power- law, local government, that kind of thing- for the sole purpose of helping the long-lived blend more easily into society by providing them with paperwork and IDs, and making sure that the magically-inclined folk who broke the law were quietly dealt with without making national headlines.

Shifters have large families and clearly-defined family roles. Each household is lorded over by a matriarch, whose word is basically law. When Lys was very young, she fell into the river behind her house. It was just after a heavy rain, so the rapids were intense- they swept her under and away. She very nearly drowned, but her largely-underdeveloped shifter abilities kicked in, and she shifted into a river otter and was able to swim to safety. Either due to the trauma or the forcing of her powers, she can now only assume that one shape. Her stepmother, having just succeeded her grandmother as matriarch, disowned her for her inability to be a proper shifter. Her grandmother, though unable to overrule the other woman's decision, still loved her granddaughter and took her in until she was a teenager, and then she paid for a nice little apartment for Lys. She's lost, alone, and squandering her grandmother's generosity while looking for someone to love.
