"I'm what's considered a changeling species," she pressed a feather-clad arm to her chest. "More specifically, a raven harpy. The changelings were the name given to all the humanoid but non-human species that populate my world, since almost all of them were the result of fae meddling, and even curses. There's a lot of humans who don't like us because of that, believing us to be cursed, or agents for the fae. As a result, I have to be cautious even where humans are fond of changelings."
