Character lore: Chrystal Danforth
2 years ago
I've been meaning to write this up for awhile, but there's actually backstory to my primary sona, Chrystal.
Chrystal was born of a fox mother and a raccoon father who weren't married and Chrystal ended up keeping her mother's maiden name. She grew up in a generic and non-descript New England town that was rather quiet overall. Her mother had a son from a previous marriage, Bero, though Chrystal and Bero didn't spend much time around one another until high school when they ended up living together. She wasn't really anything special in high school and dabbled in various extra curricular activities, including drama club, cheerleading, chess, and track and field. Her best friend throughout all of high school was a shy dragon named Nephe that was a transfer student from Scotland that Chrystal always kept in close contact with.
Going to college, she ended up being a legacy admission at Miskatonic University in Arkham, Massachusettes, where she followed in her maternal grandfather's footsteps while majoring in psychology with a dual minor in folklore and anthropology. As a child, she loved her grandfather's stories of his trip to the Antartic when he was a graduate student himself, though it always unnerved her when he would talk about the shapeless beast that would feed on the giant blind cave penguins. Chrystal was exposed to a variety of odd encounters during her ungraduated studies, but she continuously wore a weird star with an eye in the middle on a pendant or printed on her side satchel that her grandfather stated she always needed to wear, no matter what. Her mother always treated it as an odd whim without much to worry about it and Chrystal continued to remain ignorant of how it kept her safe from disaster.
One curious comment that people make about Chrystal is the color of her lighter fur as it seems to go anywhere from light purple to dusky rose. Some have told her that they've seen it almost pulse in terms of color but she dismisses those comments as just tricks of the light. In truth, her fur does change color as a result of her grandmother being tainted by toxicity of a weird meteorite that twisted the local wildlife in 1882. Her paternal great-great-grandfather was Ammi Pierce who was exposed to what modern science deemed radiation poisoning, which made him go insane over the years and he recounted strange going ons at a farm where the family died of radiation poisoning themselves, or at least that was what the official story said. Unbeknownst to him and his descendants, including Chrystal, they've been infected with a mysterious color that affects their fur as well as can make their eyes seem to glow in the dark at times. Chrystal, being a woman pursuing a graduate degree based in science, pushes those comments to the side, mumbling about it all being a trick of the light.
