Fenrir: Oh come on, Mom! Why the hell would I ever need to know anything besides fire magic? I'm fine!

Paola: You need to be flexible, Fen. There are some problems you can't solve by breathing fire on them.

Fenrir: Pfft! Like what?

Fenrir: Aaaaiieee!!! Wha-wha--Why are we human?!

Paola: What? You can't burn off that polymorph with fire magic? Imagine that... Let's get started. You've got two days to figure how to shapeshift back yourself. If you can't, then maybe I'll teach you the counterspell.

The idea of Paola, the coatl mother of Fenrir, has been bouncing around in my head for a bit. I thought about giving her a more humanoid form instead of just going with what developed, but I liked her look too much. Besides, you can get your "snake tits" jollies with shard's mom when I draw her. The feathers making up a crest on her head and down the upper half of her body will have to be differently colored when I eventually draw her in color. So will her wings. Ugh, I'm gonna end up using quetzel and peacock colors for these two.
