Hello! Welcome to something new I'm doing, a little series called "A Bit About." This will go over OCs of mine, going over them, their motivations, how they wound up on the path they did, etc. This might also encompass some scenarios to, such as Dynamic Springs and Serene Hills. Thought this would be a fun way to go over various characters that some people may like and want to know more about.

So to start, I figured I'd go with arguably my most popular OC, Genevieve!

Genevieve is an owl woman, always dressed in a sweater that hangs off a shoulder and a pair of jeans. She has a large set of wings on her back, but she can use her magic to get rid of them if she wants to. Usually, when she's outdoors, the wings will be out, or if she's inside or in a narrow area, she'll get rid of them so they don't crowd up too much space. Got to be comfortable when transforming people after all!

Genevieve relishes in the allure, bringing down someone's defenses through friendly banter or acts. Her victims are nonethewiser she is anyone mean or evil, she puts on a very nice face, bringing them into a false sense of security before she quickly reveals her intentions.

Once she drops the act, Genevieve becomes very sinister and devious. Any smiles and giggles erased in favor of cold statements and gleeful delight that she is about to permanently transform someone into someone or something else. She is very thorough in her transformations, always making sure to change their mental state so that the victim is essentially someone new entirely, that is, if they're even lucky enough to stay animate.

Genevieve also has a big interest in inanimate transformation. In many cases, if possible, she enjoys using them after the person transforms into an object, laying in thick that they are just an object now, a tool to be used. If she grows bored, she'll throw it out. When it is something she doesn't need or wants to take care of, she'll just leave the transformed wherever they are to let fate decide what happens to them, good or bad, she doesn't care.

While others like her may like telling the victims what is about to happen, Genevieve prefers to generally keep it a surprise. She wants them to be caught off guard by it, make herself seem friendly, until her victim feels like they could be friends, before slowly peeling back the mask, and before they can run off, she's already at work making the transformation begin. It starts with losing the ability to move before the physical transformation begins. The process is very fast, once Genevieve taunts them when they're frozen in place, often calling them "rude for trying to run off without a proper goodbye," before the transformation really gets going and there's hardly much time to react.

Genevieve has always been sinister, seeing the world as her playground. Little is known about her history, no family ties found anywhere, and whether or not she transformed them is unknown. For the most part, little is known about Genevieve because they're transformed by her before they can ever record any detail. It isn't because she's necessarily conversation, Genevieve sees it a personal goal that if she talks to anyone, they will not be leaving the conversation as the same person they entered as, if they're even leaving as a person at all!

Genevieve transforms people through magic, and it's something she always had. At first, she just found it amusing, but the more people she transformed, the more she decided it was almost a challenge, try to see if she'd ever fail to come up with an idea while talking to a stranger. She's outgoing and sociable, which is bad luck for anyone who decides to take the conversational bait. Genevieve's magic forms a bubble around those being affected, so that anyone around the scene will be none the wiser to the transformation. She prefers the quiet intimacy of transformation; she doesn't need people causing a panic just because some blue jay turned into graffiti art!

So, how can someone be okay with turning a snow leopard going to meet a bunch of friends into a fire hydrant? Or a trio of dads meeting up for a pint into two college girl kitties and the other into a celebration cake?

Simple.

To Genevieve, it's fun. She doesn't have a conscience to speak of. She doesn't care who she is transforming. She doesn't care about their family, friends, or anything. In fact, it might just bait more people to question her, and she has her rule: no one stops talking with Genevieve the same way they started talking to her as.

Genevieve is not a good person. She can't be fixed, she doesn't want to be fixed. She simply wants to entertain herself, and doesn't care who or what it affects, because at the end of the day, to Genevieve, only Genevieve matters. Her entertainment is worth more than anyone else's! She is very cautious when dealing with anyone who can transform her as well, making sure to have wards to dispel any attempts and fire them back at whoever was foolish enough to try. Her powers are incredibly strong, and hard to break or reverse. As such, many of Genevieve's transformations are very much permanent as none possess the strength of magic to revert the changes, even if they could remember who they used to be. Her transformations can be overwritten through scientific methods, and trying to undo it through magic is a fool's errand. Even then, the original mind if essentially erased in Genevieve's transformations, so even though science can get close to the original, they'll never truly be the same person.

And that's A Bit About Genevieve! Hope you enjoyed that lil' lore dump! I'm not planning any kind of schedule for these, they're very much a "do as I feel like" kind of release schedule. If you have questions about Genevieve, I'd be happy to answer them here (same goes for any OC I talk about in the future)! I want A Bit About to be a series where people can learn more about my OCs, so questions are encouraged! And if there's any other character you want to see me talk about before, comment about that to so I know where demand is!
