Lixue Hu was born 25 years ago on a crisp December morning to a single mother. Lixue never knew whom his dad was and he stopped asking once he saw how much it hurt his mother to talk about the man. His mother was a young human woman who had just started collage when she fell in love with a young man who just so happened to be passing by. A lone cat among the Ailuranthrope. The two had grown very close, very quickly which ended up with his birth nine months later. His father was present for the first nine months of his life, but than he left. Saying that he just couldn't stay in one place for long. He did disclose what he was to Lixue's mother because of the fact that Lixue would have inherited his Ailuranthrope genes.

Lixue didn't have an incomplete childhood though. It was actually quite warm and loving. His mother spoiled him and loved him with all her heart and he felt that. Sure he was curious about his father, what kid wouldn't be, but he didn't need to know. It wasn't a pressing matter for Lixue. At least that was what he thought until his first change. It was the most painful and terrifying experience of his young life. Luckily his mother had known a bit about him earlier on and had the time to research and get in contact with the appropriate people. She was not equipped to handle him when he turned, but she would try to make everything as smooth and painless as possible for him. Thankfully during her years of research she was able to find the faction.

With the help of others like Lixue he was able to feel and grow into himself a lot more. Not that his mothers love wasn't enough but it was a tough go. Being a single mother was hard, being a single mother with a were-cat child was probably impossible. The branding was scary for Lixue, he didn't have a good tolerance for pain and wasn't overly aggressive about anything. Being mostly a mild, laid back and quiet individual. His Beta status was not easy to understand either. Especially since his father had been an Omega. School was also interesting growing up, he never had many friends because of his quiet nature. He was teased but never bullied. When he ended up going to collage he started to shyly reach out more in order to form friendships. Understanding that it wasn't normal to hermit himself away in a den somewhere.
