My name is Cass, I'm a poochyena. I have always been special. My fur, rather than being grey, is brown. Everyone noticed that I was different from my four siblings from the second they looked at us. Their eyes were all a striking red, whereas mine were a brilliant blue. Worried, my parents took me to a chansey nearby. The chansey explained that I was a 'shiny' and warned my parents to keep me away from wandering trainers, as they'd be more apt to catch me rather than cause me to faint.
As any loving parent would do, they forced me to live in the den. I did, of course, sneak out to gain some experience and levelled up a bit. I had hoped against hope that if I became strong enough, they'd let me out so I could defend myself. That chance never came.
