As a student of The Institute of Abnatural Arts (IAA), Hazel was transformed into a humantaur during one of Professor Quyz's regular class demonstrations. Hazel enjoyed the attention her new form received, so her changes stuck.
Near the Institute is a small town where transformations like hers don't turn too many heads -plenty of students have walked away from class with stranger shapes- but half way through her first semester, Hazel was offered a job opportunity in the city that she couldn't pass up.
These days she trots around town going to parties, attending speed-dating events, and spending too much money on custom clothing. As driving isn't an option option in her current shape, she gets around on foot or by transit. She’s forever squeezing into packed elevators, breaking heels chasing buses, and fielding questions from strangers who stop her in the street. It’s a hassle, but she enjoys the way people look at her too much to give it up.
Let’s just hope Professor Quyz doesn’t hear about her exploits. His work isn’t exactly a secret, but it was never meant for wide public consumption either...
