At the current the series is going through a bit of a retcon with Jamie trying to find the best way to continue the strip. Though due to illness it's very slow going (At the current her last updates were January and August of 2018), but she seems adamant in continuing the comic all the same.

The story begins with Chelsea Chattan [[OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent perfectly ordinary young woman]] and a practicing Wiccan living in [[BigApplesauce New York]] visiting her family in her howetown, [[CityOfAdventure Haven]] for her stepsister Cynthia's wedding. The stress of having to deal with her stepfather, the [[StrawmanPolitical overly conservative]] Ben Monroe, causes Chelsea to [[DrivenToSuicide jump out of a second story window]], whereupon she [[InvoluntaryShapeshifting suddenly transforms into a panther]], almost kills Ben, and [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking completely ruins her wedding]].

Turns out that Chelsea's suffering from a HereditaryCurse running in her father's family, making [[OurWerebeastsAreDifferent werecats]] out of every female member. To balance this out, there's also a strain of {{magick}} running in her family. [[ArchivePanic And these revelations were in the September 1999 comics]].
