Annie

In contrast to his self-appointed new friend Theo, Anil's life has been continually marked by alienation. Being born half Crow Avian, it was easy for the more cruel among his peers to make reference to the infamous Corvian Cult, though neither Anil, nor his family, were a part of it, causing him to lash out in anger at a classmate during his younger years. Despite time and distance, the rumors continued to follow Anil into young adulthood, rumors of all the nefarious things others had seen him do (though none actually had), causing the already quiet and reserved Anil to withdraw even further, speaking and interacting with others as little as humanly possible. He found solace in only one thing... his increasingly high level of skill in artistic pursuits, making a bit of a following for himself online, where the anonymity of the internet allowed him to showcase his craft without the recurring personal judgements overtaking the quality of the work itself. He'd been perfectly content to toil away unknown, slumming his way through school and generally making sure he went unnoticed, until a fateful day when a certain overzealous otter hybrid returned a lost drawing to him, sparking the closest thing to kinship that Anil had felt in a long time. Alongside his new self-professed partner-in-crime, "Annie" can begin once again to let others into his life... he'll have to... given his warm-hearted new friend's persistence...
