An orphan from birth, Camilla was raised by her kindly grandma. Her homelife was quaint and peaceful, but once she went to school, Camilla would be bombarded by bullies. They hated her purple fur and her "strange" clothes, including special handmade dresses from her grandma. In her adolescent years, Camilla was a loner with no one her age to look up to. Much of her free time after school was spent in the park or at the mall. At the very least, Grandma would cook for Camilla and help her with her homework whenever she found her way back home. She loved her grandmother but wished she had friends of her own. Discovering herself on social media was key for Camilla to branch out. She would post herself tryout out the makeup and clothes she'd gotten from her lonely mall adventures. She attracted both positive and negative feedback from her online following. Eventually, Camilla dabbled in the lolita style and would try on gothic lace. Spike was among her active audience at the time. First, he and his company offered sponsorship opportunities, and eventually, he and Camilla got into a relationship.
To this day, Camilla will tell you that her first love had also been her first friend. Unfortunately, they have surpassed the "honeymoon phase" of their relationship. Consequently, Camilla and Spike have been having heated disagreements about how to move forward: both in their relationship and in their careers, namely Camilla's. Little did Camilla know, she was about to lose both.
Their arguments reached a fever pitch when Camilla—allegedly in self-defense—ended Spike's life. Panicking, Camilla made a run for it, all while leaving all the evidence behind. The evidence, along with eye-witness accounts, have been enough to publicly deem Camilla the police's number one suspect in the death of Spike. Staying in one place for too long, especially with such defining features as her purple fur and broad bull terrier muzzle, will inevitably end in a swift capture and a lengthy prison sentence.It's clearer than day to Camilla: the unique appearance she was bullied for is exactly what will lead to her downfall. Her bullies were right, she thinks. So in exchange for a night alone with a stranger, Camilla asks them to help bleach her fur. Camilla hates what she has done—and the fact she has to keep doing it to survive. She'd sworn off this kind of work in her arguments with Spike, and now she's doing the exact thing now that he's dead. Camilla has never hated herself more.
Now a bleached-brown version of herself, Camilla roams the country, making sure to keep as low of a profile as she can. At the same time, she regrets not killing her "hair stylist" since they are now a key witness to her evasion. The one thing that brings her peace is her friendship with a guy who would never "rat" her out...
