Kumo's backstory
Somewhere in the Northern tribe, there was a rich family who had a terribly spoiled son. This son, who was maybe no older than 7 or 8, one day wanted an exotic pet. Not any ordinary exotic pet mind you, he wanted one to have beauty of a bright bird and the prowess of a large cat. With that, the boy's father had people search for this type of animal.

With that, the boy's father had hired trappers to go out and find this kind of animal no matter what. The search was long and unfruitful. No matter what they brought home, the young boy wasn't interested in it. This search took many days and nights until one of the trappers got fed up with the boy's picky tastes and told the father that there was no such animal that held both traits.

Upon hearing the 'unfortunate' news, this boy promptly threw a large tantrum... as he ususally did when he didn't get his way. Once again, his parents gave in to his behavior and called for the trappers once again. This time he had told them to try and create a creature with such traits. The trappers had looked at him as if he was absurd, but took the duty none the less.

That is where they began combining a numerous amount of different animals. A lion with a lovebird, a cougar with a cardinal, a cheetah with a bluejay, and even a clouded leopard with a bird of paradise, but no matter what, they never seemed to come out right. No one questioned on how these animals were crossing and producing a lone offspring, and no one cared, they just wanted one to shut this boy and his whiney ways up. After a couple of months of failed attempts, they tried one last pairing of a Siberian tiger and a peacock. They were all surprised when instead of getting a mostly bird appearance, they got what appeared to be a male cub.

The fur on his body was amazingly white, though it slowly turned to the lovely blue of the peacock's feathers at his legs. The cubs face was marked just like the peacock's, even his muzzle seemed to be the color of the beak, though it retained the stripes on his body. On the tip of his ears were the feathers that usually protruded from a peacock's head, and emerging from where his shoulder blades were, a pair of brown and green wings were folded limply. To top this new species off, at the end of his tail were the beginning of the peacock's lovely plumage and by what they could tell, it was able to be fanned out just like a male peacock would do during courtship.

Upon it surviving to be the right age to be seperated from it's mother without any problems, the trappers took the cub and brought it to the family. To much of everyone's surprise, the boy actually accepted it and named the young male Kumo.

As the years go on, the boy and Kumo have a lot of fun playing together. The family had no worries, they thought Kumo would stay at a small size because of the traits of the bright bird it was mixed with. So when he reached two years of age, they never expected him to be so large. The parents were worried about the hybrid's playing habits, especially now that his paws have almost doubled in size. They have also noticed that their son, like he always does, was getting bored of his 'toy'.

Thinking for the best of this animal and their son, they decided to let Kumo run free, without realizing that he had no survival skills. With that, they fashioned a golden collar around his neck and gold armbands with rubies faceted in the middle around his arms, just to tell hunters not to shoot at him. So now that was out of the way, they had the hybrid moved to the artic region just before the area that was forbidden and released him. When the tiger mix tried to go back toward them, they had no choice but to chuck rocks at him to get him to enter the cold artic climate.

Kumo watched as they all walked away back toward the tribe, even the family he grew up with, wanting to go to them but afraid of them throwing rocks again. He just lied at the boundary of the forbidden area, looking out to the tribe. The mix breed stayed there for several days, ignoring his hunger and his thirst, even the cold winds nipping at him didn't seem to phase him. Eventually, hunger had overcome him and he reluctantly got up and walked further into the artic lands.

Trecking for days, Kumo couldn't find food until signs of movement from snow hares showed themselves to him, but by the time he had noticed them to chase after, they had either gotten away or he had lost track of them once again. So his search continued, with many hit and miss attempts at catching something, including some deer. He drank from lakes and streams that he came across, it sustaining him for a short period of time as he walked further.

Just as the hybrid was about to just lie down and give up, he smelled the faint scent of blood and flesh some distance away. Not knowing nor caring what he was heading to, the large winged cat quickly made his way in the direction of the smell. Once he got there, he noticed the carcass of a deer laying on the floor, as well as a female tiger eating from it. Unknowing of the solitary notion of other tigers, the large male made his way closer to the female and her kill.

Looking up from her kill, the female noticed the other approaching her and with a growl, false lunged at him, hoping to scare him off. Kumo, had indeed, paused at this action but he didn't run like she had hoped. Not knowing what to make of him and having young cubs nearby, the female quickly got up and ran to him in attack. Seeing this, the hybrid quickly turned and ran off before she could swipe at him with her large claws. Having warded off the intruder, she went back to her meal while he made distance between them.

Once again, the male was found roaming the land. He was hungry and he was tired, but he felt that if he stoppedmoving, he would surely die. It was already a few days since his owners had released him here and he was on the verge of giving up. He really didn't know what to do, especially since he never learned to hunt. If by chance, he ever ran across another possible food source and caught it, there would be no knowledge on how to kill it.

Just as the still young Kumo was going to lie down and let his hunger take over him, he spotted something in the distance. It was a doe and its fawn, scouraging for food under the snow. Thinking that this was his final chance of surviving, the hybrid crouched down into the snow. He wasn't sure why he did that, it just came natural to him as he slinked closer to the deer. Sneaking up on the deer silently was not entirely given, the snow crunching lightly under his massive paws.

Getting anxious and hungry, the winged cat quickly got up and lunged toward the two deer. The doe, hearing something approaching them and fast, quickly took off, her fawn following right after. Kumo continued to chase after it, his snow shoe like paws preventing him from sinking into the snow as he did. He followed the deer's every move; if it turned left, he turned left, if it swerved right, so did he.

The large cat's wings flapped as he slowly caught up to the deer. As he got closer, the doe and her fawn went in separate directions, Kumo going after the doe. After several long minutes, the cat got close enough to actually trip the prey, catching up as it stumbled to regain her footing. He quickly lept onto the doe, but once he had it, he didn't know what to do with it as he quickly laid ontop of it. He laid there, panting, looking about, wondering what to do now about the struggling deer under him. The deer's struggle and calls slowly began to weaken as it began to loose breath under the large cat's weight, he still not understanding what was going on. Over a few more moments in time, the deer finally passed, he sniffing at it. Without any moments delay, the feline finally got his first meal in a long while.

Ever since then, he's been hunting more, hitting and missing... though mostly missing. He even had located a nice cave for him to stay in... not too far from the northern tribe's entrance. Life was much better for Kumo, no more days of wondering if he would survive. He didn't even mind being abandoned anymore, although, on occasion he would go back to where he was first released and look into the tribe, letting out a loud bellow as if saying, 'I'm lonely.'

Cali's backstory
The story of Cali, the little girl under the guardian Kumo's care, was something of a tragic tale. The village she was born in was quite prosperous, thriving on the trading routes that intersected in the northern country. But despite the growing business' and the coming and goings of foreigners, the village still believed in the ancient ways and sadly, the sacrifices of orphans were still practiced, though it was never openly discussed.

The headman of the village, a big, burly man with hair as dark as midnight was also the richest man in that part of the northern country, making it so he had the finest foods and things that money could buy, including silk, which was quite hard to come by if you didn't have the right connections. But despite his wealth and stature, he was a kind-hearted man, always willing to give when needed. It was even rumored that it was his ancestors that started the trading business for the village, but no one could ever be sure.

The headman's wife was also a kind-hearted individual, though she was petite in stature and her skin as pale as the almost yearly round snow. Both were quite happy, especially with the coming arrival of their child. But they would have never guessed the sudden downfall that would seem to come to the village soon.

The couple had their child, a baby girl who they named Cali, and it should have been a day of true celebration in the village. But the day she was born, a fire of mysterious origins had broke out, decimating half the village itself, burning down important stores and stocks, and injuring quite a number of people. Even though the fire was contained and soon put out, the damage had been done, a few business' having been utterly destroyed in the fires wake. It certainly didn't take long for talk to start, rumors cropping up, saying that Cali's birth was an omen of bad things to come in the future.

Of course the headman did everything in his power to squash such rumors, not wanting such talk about his daughter to be going around. But unfortunately, things seemed to go from bad to worse. With the winter months just around the corner, trading was at an all time low, and with the fire, things were looking to be bleak for almost everyone. Soon a sickness started spreading, killing the old and weak, as well as some children that couldn't fight it. The headman was fearful there would be an uprising to take his daughter away. He did his best to shield Cali from the villagers, but soon the sickness even made its way to his house as well. His wife was the first to succumb, many others in his household falling as well. It wasn't long before the headman himself died....

But Cali herself never grew sick. Even though she was upset to be seperated from her mother, she spent her days playing with her striped, stuffed cat. But the little girl never talked, which baffled everyone around her, not even crying! She never did find the full truth over what had happened to her parents.

After the harsh winter had passed and the sickness leaving the village, everyone had to take stock. But soon talk went up that Cali's birth was truly the cause of the bad tidings and to keep her there would bring more misfortune to them. If all this wasn't bad enough, there was a loud ominous call echoing through the village every now and again. Killing her was frowned upon, no one wanting the blood of a girl that was still a baby on their hands. But the talks of the sacrifice were resurfaced and plans were put in place to seal Cali's fate...
