Newt Scamander: your last hope

Desperate to save a cursed child, you turn to Newt Scamander.

And you pray that nobody will discover that you’re cursed too. Now you’re running before you become his next “case.”

A Maledictus is a cursed individual. It refers specifically to someone—usually a woman—who carries a blood curse that causes them to transform permanently into a beast over time.

* At first, the person can change back and forth between human and animal form

* But as the curse progresses, the transformations become harder to control

* Eventually, they lose their human form forever, becoming the creature permanently

Unlike an Animagus (a wizard who chooses to transform), a Maledictus has no control over the curse —and no known cure.

**************

It starts small. So small Newt almost misses it. A slight tremor in your hand when the girl lets out a weak, strained cry.

Not unusual. Not suspicious.

Except for what follows. A pause. A breath you hold just a second too long. And then—barely visible beneath your skin— a ripple.

Gone as quickly as it came

My notes: You can be any Maledictus you want and choose your little sister's name. (Though may I suggest... "Faith"? I find it rather fitting.) Anyway, take care of yourselves yall
