Becki
Legacy Name: Becki

Rebecca, or Becki as she was more commonly known, had never fit in at school. She appeared to be normal: average height for her age all the way through school, blonde hair and bright green eyes - nothing that would make her stand out at first glance. When she first went to class, she showed off the fact that she was a shape-shifter. She had expected everyone to think it was cool: she was wrong. Her parents had forgotten to tell her that their species didn't exist in the eyes of humans. For the past seven years of school, she had been entirely friendless because the fact she could shift into a snake apparently scared everyone, the teachers included.

To make up for her lack of human friends, she spent a lot of time with the wild snakes in the woods behind her house. She spent as much time in her snake form as possible and got to know all of the snakes who frequented the woods. Whenever school finished, she would rush home to grab some food before skipping through her back garden and over to the woods where she shifted to her snake form and was finally able to relax around other creatures who accepted her for who, and what, she was. Of course, when the other children at her school found out, they began to make fun of her for it. She slowly began to withdraw from human life - refusing to go to school and occasionally having to be carried in by her mother.

This continued throughout her school life and into adulthood until the tide began to change and shape-shifters started in their attempt to take over. As her species gained more power, Becki became more confident. She still spent most of her time around snakes but she would no longer cower away from people in the fear they would find out she was different.

When she had left school, she had joined the army but had been swiftly thrown out once they realised what she was but now she moved to re-join: her own species now dominating the ranks.

Becki quickly saw the world change from a place where shape-shifters were nothing but myth to where they ruled. They had decided to let humans keep their freedom at least; things would continue as normal but with different leaders.

Slowly advancing through the ranks, the shape-shifter found her life improving far more than she had ever thought possible. People started to look up at her as opposed to down or in fear. She didn't really care about the rank: she just cared about the respect and lack of fear. It was all she had ever wanted yet seemed to be something she was previously unable to get all because of something she had no control over.
