Swintr Amer/Swintr (EU Beginnings)

## Origins

Swintr was named after her mom and her dad fighting about if her name would be “Summer” or “Winter”, and eventually they came to an agreement to mix the two names together and we now have Swintr’s name.

Swintr was born in Picardy, France, and lived there until she was 6 months. Her family then moved to Britain for 7 more months, and then they stayed in Italy for 1 month, and Luxembourg for another. then, she stayed in Belgium until she turned 2. She then went back to France for 10 months, and finally moved to Britain for the rest of her life.

## Tails

When Swintr was merely 5-year-old, she got lost in the airport on her way to Germany for vacation on her first summer. She was waiting by an ice cream vending machine when a mysterious old lady popped up beside her and took her hand. Swintr thought this lady was her grandmother, who was accompanying them on their vacation, but it turned out to be some random old lady. This old lady brought Swintr out of the airport and to her private jet, where they went off to Germany. This made Swintr confused as to where her family was, so she started to notice that something wasn't right. Swintr was brought to this old fancy cottage near a river, where the old lady danced around some daffodils and sang a song about foxes. Swintr started to realise that this definitely wasn't where she was supposed to be, so she tried to make a run for it, however she kept on tripping due to her clumsiness. The old lady, who Swintr now knew was named "Berthania", grabbed her by the arms and dragged her to the daffodils. Swintr got distracted by the pretty flowers and started sniffing them, only to smell fox poop. Swintr dropped the daffodils and after that, she completely blacked out. She woke up on the streets of Hamburg, wrapped in a blue blanket that covered her new fox tails. Since Swintr wasn't really a normal-minded person, she started getting excited and approached strangers on the road and yelling "Ich habe Superkräfte!", which bothered many. Swintr continued her yelling until she climbed on top of a car and said the same thing, only to find her teary-eyed maid, her sleeping sister, and her stressed out parents. The maid grabbed Swintr from the top of the car, and Swintr was brought to the hospital. The doctors tried their best to remove the fox tails, but after many attempts, they declared Swintr a genetic mutation of new technology, which did not leave anybody in the Amer family calm. When she was in Germany, she found a news article that read "Fox mutation on the street? You won't believe this girl!" when translated to English. Swintr was super happy about being famous in Germany, so she begged her parents to live there forever, but despite Swintr's countless attempts, she went back to Britain with the title "Fox Girl". Everybody asked Swintr what happened, but Swintr only answered her sister Spring in exchange for a box of Pop-Tarts.
