Another plot idea.  Inquiries may be made via PM.  [b]This is not a Furry thing.  The character is cursed, but she is not a full animal. I am not looking to make this a Furry thing.[/b]

[b]The Tail of the Foxgirl[/b] [i]FxF/Fantasy/Medieval[/i] 

Laurel is the strange girl of her village, ever since she was a small girl.  She was more attuned to the woodland creatures than she was to other people.  Foxes in particular called to her.  While others saw them as savage beasts who killed their rabbits and chickens, Laurel seemed to have an affinity for befriending the beautiful pups.  

There was rumor of a witch who lived deep on the other side of the wood who would grant wishes to those who brought her worthy gifts.  But to those who tried to win her favor and brought poor gifts, she bestowed terrible curses.  Laurel wanted more than anything to join her fellow woodland creatures, to become one of the beautiful foxes, so she gathered all she had in offering to the witch.

The witch laughed in her face at the offering and instead granted Laurel only parts of the fox she wished to be: a bushy tail, long, furry ears, small black claws in place of her nails, and a thirst...a need to hunt.  

Laurel fled and no longer accepted in her half beast form by her village, build herself a home in the forest, where she also found herself not quite accepted by her woodland friends.  A being of half human work and half creature, she has lived a lonely life, fighting the urge to hunt, the primal instinct gnawing at her being.

One night, a terrible storm rolls in as a traveler (your character) is trying to find shelter and comes upon Laurel's cabin.  Begging for shelter, Laurel allows the traveler in, keeping herself in the corner and the dark so the stranger might not see her monstrous appearance.  In the light of the day, she disappears before the traveler awakens, but the traveler is curious about the mysterious stranger who saved them from the ravages of the storm.
