In a world where shapeshifters and humans live together, seventeen year old Ayame faces discrimination and abuse while struggling to shield her younger Halfling sister from the cruelties of the world. Her shapeshifter father died when she was nine years old. Her human mother and younger sister live on a small shapeshifter reserve, hiding the fact that they are housing a Halfling. And if it couldn't get worse, she and her sister go to a human school. Human and shapeshifters don't get along, the humans call the shapeshifters by slurs including "furries" "mutants" and "hellspawn". Its "highly recommended" that the shapeshifters stay on their reserves at all times, if you value your life that is. The only people who have it worse then the shapeshifters are the Halflings. When a human and shapeshifter have a child there is 1/3rd chance the child will come out human, 1/3rd chance they'll come out as a shapeshifter, and 1/3rd chance they'll be a Halfling. Halflings are unable to take full form of their celestial being and are hated by both the shapeshifter and human communities.
