The Best Defense Is A Good Offense
No matter what was said to her, she took it the wrong way. It was an attack. Bad intent. Potentially evil.
Her coworker would say, “Good morning!”, and she’d report her to HR.
Life itself was literally an assault on her emotionally and physically.
So like all creatures, she learned to adapt. To always fight back. To always deflect. To never let anyone or anything in.

The creature was first documented in 1490, outside a local courthouse. Men and women report seeing a tall, human-like being with long, dark hair down its back, walking on all fours. Reports differ on what it was wearing but the consensus is that it was naked, baring a gnarled, gray skin.
