For those of you that would like some back story to extra characters like Mitch. Meet momma.
This is Dr. Andrea Latham. Mad scientist, some might say. But, a brilliant one. Her expertise is in genetic bio engineering (genetic manipulation). She is a very accomplished scientist with an album full of PHDs and she knows her way around a syringe. She knows the body better than most and likely dreams of DNA strands. Could you ask her out? Sure. If you don't mind making a tiny donation to SCIENCE. The two of you are laying in bed with her on top. Ow! What was that pinch? Did she bite you? Never mind.
So, one of her life long projects was in making what she would call, the perfect lover. Initially, this experiment was going to be a beefcake of a fox. Then she ruled that out for something in between. Not too big, not too strong, but just right. He would be sweet, tender, gentle, and extra fluffy. He'd have the ability to change the size of his um...little fox. He'd have an irresistible scent to to the ladies and be extra cute. She would make sure his eyes were as green as a gemstone. She would raise him normally and bring him up with a decent set of morals. Then, when he was old enough to fend for himself, she...disappeared. No explanation. No traces. She was just gone one day. Her poor son now deals with abandonment issues. Probably explains why he tends to hold on to partners for as long as he can after they make love.
No one presently knows what happened to Dr. Andrea Latham. Dead? It would be easier for Mitch to think so. Was she bad? Maybe not the most ethical, but she was a very good mother. She loves her kits despite her background. She was sure to cradle and sing to each one. She would show them the warm, tender love that she hoped they would give to others.
Diabolical.
