Storyline:
Namila was born and raised like any other deer. Though, what is unusual even for skinchangers, she was barely two months old when her growth spurt started. Soon, within a week of pain as she grew too large for her skin, she broke free as a human child of around 8 years of age. Her parents, having seen this phenomena before, gently licked her cheeks to show her it was all right, it was natural. They spoke to her, and even though they spoke like a normal deer would, and she now was a human, she still understood. It seemed she would always be able to communicate with other deers, even in human form.

She learned to shift back through touching her pelt, but as a year passed, it became clear that her changes were almost... Spontaneous, they happened seemingly at random. It wasn't long before one of the professors of Arania, Kakashi, found her. A gentle hand on her shoulder, he explained her she needed training. She could become a fierce warior of Gaia if she wished so.

Gaia? Really? She could serve the all-loving mother?

On shaking legs, Namila accepted the offer, and began at the school. They were few students at that time, and so, she took many one-on-one lessons with Kakashi. Despite him being a wolf, she felt safe near him. He wasn't like the wolves she'd seen before. He was calm and controlled. He helped her. He helped her train to become a warrior. A warrior for Gaia.
