Backround:

Shifter is the successful result of a prototype project designed to create a second Smudge. However the villain in charge of the project failed to take into account that their product had a conscience and refused to do evil. Losing patience with the prototype, the villain imprisoned it and proceeded to start work on a new project. Unbeknownst to him, the prototype quickly escaped by slipping through the bars of its cage.

Shifter fled her prison and the research facility, and now roams Maretropolis, helping others as she can in exchange for food, or a place to rest her head. Knowing the villain likely has noticed her escape, she moves around, using the sewers and subway to avoid detection and capture. She knows the area well, and is willing to offer help and information, in exchange for food and secrecy.
