Genealogy and History
Parent One: Mother, feral lynx, deceased. Passed away when Musa was ~10 years old.
Parent Two: Father, feral lynx. One of the older lynxes in Musa’s clan, in charge of managing the hunters and guards.
Birth: Musa was born without a tail, but otherwise seemed to be an ordinary female lynx. The lack of tail was chocked up to mutation, officially, although it did raise questions from Musa’s father about the possibility he was not, in fact, the father, since hybrids are sometimes born with an unusual combination of traits. This strained the relationship between their mother and father quite a bit.
Childhood: The fact Musa wasn’t “just” an “average female lynx” wasn’t revealed until age 12, when they transformed into a lynx form for the first time, to the surprise of everyone. It caused no small amount of confusion, but some of the older members of the clan had heard of or even seen this sort of thing in the past; Musa was neither male nor female, but something else entirely. It explained their appearance and lack of tail, and also proved their mother’s innocence, several years to late, as she’d already passed away by then. Musa’s first transformation caused a bit of a stir, but the clan was quick to adjust and find a place for them.
Adulthood: Musa lived happily in their clan, or reasonably so, for a century and a half. They never got along well with their father, however; they blamed him somewhat for their mother’s death, and their relationship had never been one of warm affection, even after it was clear that they were, in fact, his child. Perhaps it was that estrangement that kept them wandering off so regularly, often to the sea. Their mother had been a diver, fisher, and scavenger, and they felt close to her there. Perhaps it’s also that estrangement that made them eventually run off to join society at large. Or perhaps not; they haven’t felt the need to share. In any case, about 20 years ago, they left the jungles of Dakannore for the purple shores of Eryra. They’ve been living there, on a banana farm, ever since.

Skills and Personality
Talents:
- Darkvision: The ability to see in the dark. Able to discern shapes (as with normal vision) but only in shades of gray.
- Alacrity: Supernatural speed and dexterity.
- Increased strength. Musa is extremely strong even for a lynx, due to a lifetime of hard living and exercise. They’re also a strong swimmer and enjoy the water.
- Enhanced Senses: Smell, sight, and hearing abilities increased.
- Eternal Youth.
- Immunity: Immune to disease.
- Tracking: Although they’re far from the jungles they learned in, Musa is still a skilled tracker and hunter. It comes in handy, now and then.
- Sense of Direction: Musa almost never gets lost in nature, but finds themselves easily turned around within large cities, especially where there are no natural landmarks around.
