Description

Alicia was the daughter of two very passionate veterinarians.  Through them, she grew a deep and extensive love for and interest in animals of all kinds.  However, it may have ran a bit too deep, as when she grew older, an obsession took place.  Hearing about various kinds of injustices done to animals on a day-to-day basis, but having no resources for which to combat them, Alicia finds an opening for an experimental trans-species process that could gift humans with amazing animal abilities. 

This experiment was being conducted by Khemical Labs. 

The experiment gave Alicia the ability to transform into various forms, granting her a whole myriad of abilities.  She teams up with Flora, another experimental prototype, and goes off to fight for nature.

A few months after receiving her powers, Alicia discovered, to her horror, that she can no longer change back into her original self.  The experiment's effects had continued to mutate her DNA even after its completion, to the point where her body no longer remembered its original genetic code.  She fell into a deep depression and currently has second thoughts about going through the whole operation.  Were her animal powers worth the loss of her humanity?

Initial inspiration: Various furries (mainly from the Las Lindas comic)

Other inspiration: Beast Boy (DC Comics); Tigra (Marvel Comics); Lupen (personal OC)

Milestone: First furry drawn.  (Well... technically she's not a furry, as she's was originally human, but she does take on their form.  Just don't call her a furry... she'll get really upset).
