Hi, my name is Elaina Linnhe Rowan Sapphire Gillen or Elaina to normal people. I have dark brown hair and grey-brown eyes. I have a slim-ish build and am quite tall for my age. I can be very moody. Oh and there is one other important thing about me you should know. I am a shape-shifter. I just touch an animal's skin and can change my body to become a cross with it. Say I touched a bird; I could become an avian/human cross. Or if I touched a shark, I could become a shark/human cross and I can keep the memory for all my life. And I am an 'experiment'; I have lived in a cage for as long as I can remember.

Yesterday, I was put on a plane (in my human form mind) and sent to America (AN. Elaina comes from England) to try and 'blend' with a flock of other 'experiments'. They are a flock because they are avian/human crosses. I am supposed to help the leader in her destiny, risking life and limb for her. Her destiny is to save the world. She doesn't know how and neither do I but I guess we will find out sometime. I am supposed to have about 2 – 5 years with them before the 'saving the world' business but looks like it might be 6 or more because I 'accidentally-on-purpose' destroyed the lab in which all the information is stored. Heh, heh, I love bombs. Anyway, the white coats, as I call them – to other people they are scientists or sick freaks with nothing to do except torture people and make hybrids – got annoyed (I am surprised!) and sent me out to America early. I shall land in ten minutes or so.
