Zoe had been living on her own for years, hunted by her family to fulfill some sick kind of ancient tradition.
Zoe is a Aliri, like a human but add wings and a long flexible tail with feathers on the end. When tucked away you couldn't tell the difference.... except for thin bones that make them extremely light.
With her 21st birthday coming up all she wanted to do was try a adult drink and cuddle with her stuffy in the tree fort she made......until 'animal control' finds her by mistake, and takes her to The 'PET' shop.
