Hey, everyone! Lumi here. Unfortunately due to some technical difficulties, involving possible issues with conflict of interest, the research papers are being delayed. So, instead, I've decided to document my own life story, just like Ta-Ni did. Thankfully, it won't be as long as his story was, but I hope it's still entertaining. Enjoy!
After reading the extensive story Ta-Ni wrote about his experiences as a ninetales hybrid, I feel inspired to write my own story, as well as how it differs from his. First of all, I was born a hybrid instead of changed into one like him. Granted, I didn't realize it at first, since I didn't start changing until I reached my majority at 15. Also, I choose to remain in the hybrid form most of the time; I can freely change into a human or Alolan ninetales at any time and remain that way as long as I like. Due to his circumstances, his time outside of hybrid form is 'restricted' – his term, not mine; I don't quite understand it myself. Regardless, I'm a little more at ease with who and what I am, so that's a plus.
That's not to say I didn't have problems in my life, even before I came here. The universe I came from had both humans and Pokémon in it, and even hybrids like myself were around. For some unknown reason, when the overlord Arceus made mankind, he left them semi-compatible with Pokémon…and a few individuals decided to test that compatibility. In other words, while it's uncommon to see and often looked askance upon, humans can breed with Pokémon. The results are hybrids like myself: anthro-like Pokémon who can shift between their forms at will. We're not common, but we're also not rare.
To properly describe me, I am now a young woman in her forties, fairly slim but graceful. I'm only 4 foot 7, but that's taller than my ninetales form. And yes, forties is young for me; my father claims I can live for a few hundred years. Not as long as a normal ninetales, but much longer than a normal human. As for features, most of my body is hidden by my white fur, covering me from head to toe. I also have nine luscious tails growing from my spine, pure white with blue tips. My ears are pointed as a fox should, but I still have a plain human face. I'm still bipedal, with human hands and feet. Basically, the same as Ta-Ni, only ice type, and female.
Just an introdction for now, but there is more to come. In fact, I intend to upload the next chapter shortly after this one. So stay tuned!
May your Crystal never melt!
