[b][color=plum]Lore:[/color][/b] 
Tia was created by one of the well known witches of Arkanshire, Theodora Blackwood. A master of black magic, Theodora casted a dark creation spell and used the blood of a unicorn to give life to what she will later call her daughter. Her spell took effect a week after she had casted it. On a particularly dark and moonless night, a child with eyes and hair the color as dark as the night was born. Theodora named her Tatiana and sang spells to her every single night.

At the young age of three, Tatiana made her first shift. She was in the forest that hid their little cottage and was playing with a rabbit. She was so engrossed with the creature that she didn't notice that her touch has killed the creature. She finally noticed when it failed to react to her small fingers. Theodora, who had been knitting her a new dress, immediately ran to her upon hearing her scream. But instead of an injured child, the witch found an identical white rabbit beside the dead one. She called out to Tatiana and her daughter immediately melted back to her original form. 

The following days were strange as Tatiana became as meek as the rabbit she had apparently absorbed into her. Because of the powers she manifested, her mother began bringing to her an assortment of creatures, from deers to birds to predators as big as tigers and panthers. The weaker, smaller creatures succumbed to death when the child touched them while the larger ones only weakened. With each touch, she gained their forms as well as their characteristics.

As she was given more and more animals to shift into, her mind also became cluttered with the personalities of each. Her own demeanor became erratic, sometimes being meek, other times being fierce. She no longer had a personality of her own but a mixture of several. Her eyes had also taken on a strange color. One became blue, the other became yellow. 

At the age of 10, imperial soldiers came to their small cottage at the command of the queen. She was to create a shapeshifter that would be sent to the palace to serve the queen. Thinking that the queen wanted to take her daughter, the witch had retaliated and ended up having herself killed. Tatiana, in a desperate attempt to protect both herself and her mother, shifted her form into a panther. But she was too small and her efforts was quickly overpowered by the soldiers. Seeing her abilities, the soldiers brought her back to the palace.

After receiving report of what had happened, the Queen decided to take Tatiana in, treating her well even though most in the palace saw her as evil. In return for the Queen's kindness, the shapeshifter became loyal to her, often acting as her and the king's doppelganger whenever needed.
