"My origins aren't quite that mysterious, promise." Keeran said, taking a sip of her drink before shifting in her seat. "Well, like I said, my dad kind of neglected the fact that he was a shape shifter. He was only 136 or so when he met my mom and didn't tell her when they got married. So my dad was about 140 when they had my brother and I was born 2 years after that. Well one morning my mom woke up and noticed that, like I said before, Brandon and I were playing with our dogs, as dogs. Brandon was 7, I was almost 5 and was just copying my big brother, my idol. Well she was not happy at first but grew to except it pretty quickly thank goodness, and even encouraged us to learn new forms, somehow bringing home all sorta of strange animals and taking us to traveling shows to see the more exotic animals. She never did quite forgive my dad from hiding that from her. It's normally something you tell a person before you get married." Keeran commented with a sigh before continuing.
"So fast forward a few years, I'm ten and in a girly girl dress phase. Lots of pink and glitter, it was disgusting. Anyway, we lived on the outside of town, and little to our families' knowledge the village children had fallen asleep without putting out their fire. The whole village caught on fire and we woke up to my parents telling us to run and they would find us later. So I did as told and ran. Except I ran the completely opposite way that everyone else had run away in. I got extremely hopelessly lost pretty quickly. I had no sense of direction when I was younger and still don't have much of one." She explained, taking another sip of her drink before continuing.
"I ended up joining a traveling caravan, mostly consisting of gypsies, but the caravan also doubled as a traveling show. So I earned my keep, I learned to sing and dance and tell stories and anything else they needed me to do really. I never told them of my talent though. After I joined they threw out an old man that they learned was a shifter and I had nowhere to go, I had no idea where my family was. So I kept my transformations a secret, for six years. Soon they had me in charge of the animals, exotic animals. And then they caught me one night. I had gone out, as a wolf and they saw me change. I was sixteen and they threw me out to the wolves, literally. So I've been traveling ever sense. I mean, it's only been two years since then but it feels like so much more." Keeran finished. "So that's about it, my mysterious origins revealed. I hope they meet your standards?" Keeran asked with a flirtatious smirk.
