Some new lore about Alex

When he was younger he found a crystal in a river near his home and took the colorful thing with him, hiding it in his room. After a while of looking at it again and again, he wanted to see what it looks like if he'd make a necklace out of it and held it against his chest.

That's when it latched onto him, knocking him straight on his ass but no harm done, the crystal even seemed to disappear in his fur so Alex thought it might have been just a dream.

Years later the crystal would show that Alex now had magic and Shapeshifting powers (also useful as a reformation catalyst) and when something might happen, it can start to itch, like here.
