Aine

For all intents and purposes, Aine is a completely normal dog. Completely normal other than the fact that she's an alien. And not exactly a dog at all. So, not a completely normal dog. In fact, Aine is from a planet much closer to the center of the universe; so central, actually, that the planet is called The Hub. The Hub has been hollowed out and restructured to utilize the most space and the sun had long since had an energy miner built around it. It was so wonderfully new era compared to the awfully primitive Earth. She always read about outer reach planets but never could have imagine a planet so focused on fighting among themselves and having never put a foot on another planet in their own damn system. Unfortunately, she and her crew had no choice considering they were on the run from the intergalactic law; it was quite honestly a nusiance.

All they had wanted to do was upset the elections taking place on The Hub, not kill thousands at the train station they planted the bomb at. It was an accident! A rather fatal accident that also might have caused a chain of reactions that collapsed the structure of a quarter of the planet which ended up killing millions. Still, a total accident. What's millions of lives compared to letting some lame politician live? Worth it. Disguising themselves as local fauna on some hillbilly planet was their only option, at least until things died down which Aine was certain they would. Some warlord would commit genocide and the heat would be moved.

Being adopted by an Earth family as some kind of pet was demeaning, convincing their child that she was a magical talking dog that only she could understand was a pastime. Convincing said child to engage in petty theft and arson was just for fun.
