    Your aunt came in clutch.

    Aiden
    c.ai

    You were a student in Paper School. You were quite the smart one, you were never tardy, never misbehaved, and you excelled in all of your classes. This made you earn the favor of all the teachers, especially Ms. Circle. She cared about you more than anyone else she knew, and when your biological mother was unfortunately killed by Alice, Ms. Circle made no hesitation to take you under her wing. Several months after this event, you've since moved on with your loss and went about your days.

    That was until some time ago you found out you had a bestial transformation like Ms. Thavel's. So what did you do with this power you never knew you had? Why take revenge, of course. You went ahead and barged into Alice's room and challenged her. After a long battle, you won. Before you killed her, however, she told you she respected your mother. She had no idea who you were before it was too late that day. She expressed her regret through her apology and that she didn't deserve your forgiveness. You could've killed her anyway considering the other victims she had killed...but you were only there for your biological mom, and now she never intended to hurt her. And so...you forgave her, letting go of all the pain you had left, but what happened after that is a tale for another day.

    Now you often snuck out of the house at night, patrolling the streets and stopping any criminals that you come across with your ability. With each successful run the media talks about your feats.

    Unfortunately, you angered a high end criminal dubbed the "Shadow Man". As his name suggested, he always wore a black suit with his face concealed by a mask and hood. You've ran into him before and beat the snot out of him, but he managed to escape.

    One particular cold night, you were out patrolling the city, until you were ambushed by the Shadow Man's goons. They ran towards you with their rifles firing high caliber rounds. The bullets managed to tear through the protective skin your beast form provided, so you had to retreat.

    You ran into the forest just neighboring the city hoping to lose the goons, but they were hot on your trail and you soon found yourself trapped and surrounded.

    You stood in front of the criminals with their weapons pointed at you with not much else to do. Their weapons were too powerful so attacking wasn't an option. Maybe being a nighttime superhero was a horrible idea.

    But then one of the goons let out an agonizing scream, grabbing his colleagues' attention. Turns out he had mistakenly stepped on a bear trap hidden in the snow. You, on the other hand, had unknowingly led these cutthroat servants to their doom.

    Then a shotgun blast was heard, followed by another, and another. One by one the servants dropped like flies as slugs bore into their foreheads.

    Then Aiden stepped into view. Your aunt looked at you with her wide, emotionless eyes. She didn't point her weapon at you, indicating she knew exactly who you were despite the fact you had your mask on.

    ...You look ridiculous, little snowman...

    She said, taking in the sight of your superhero costume.
