Early Life
Much of Corey Fischer's early life -- those first few days and weeks -- are unknown to her. Her story doesn't really begin, at least as far as she's concerned, until she arrived at the doorstep of Charles and Lisa Fischer when she was a baby. The family had no idea who she was, or where she'd come from. To them, little Corey Fischer was a blessing from God.
It was a blessing that would prove to be trying. The little girl that arrived on their doorstep would, despite the relatively polite, Northern Minnesota midwest upbringing, turn out to be quite the handful. Emotional. Aggressive. Predisposed to taking her clothes off and disappearing into the woods. It was was shortly after the beginning of First Grade, when Corey was pulled out of the public school system for biting (that bitch) Mackenzie Leeder on her shin hard enough to draw blood. Corey will tell you she deserved it.
What Corey ultimately needed was purpose. A task to accomplish. And her mother and father soon learned that one of Corey's favorite things to do, was to run. To jump. To play. And... goodness... was she ever fast. And while it felt impossible to tire her out entirely, they found that the best way to keep her happy was to keep her active. A deal was made with the public school system to allow Corey to participate in their athletics. Sprinting. Hurdles. Track and field. And for a very long time, they were happy.
"Tater-Tot"
Corey's first change happened as it often does, in Garou Nation. It happened violently, suddenly, and unexpectedly. It was a night like any other, though one with an admittedly extra spike of tension. Her father was yelling at her for something that she'd done, and Corey was upset. Raised voices turned to tears. Tears turned to shouting. Shouting turned to snarling. And then she felt it. A heat in the back of her head, crawling towards the front. Clawing. Gnashing teeth. Corey didn't know what was happening, but she knew it was going to be explosive. Deadly.
Without warning, she sprinted for the door and out into the freezing cold Minnesota wilderness. Behind her, her father's shouting turned from furious, to pleading, to terrified, as he watched his daughter disappear into the dark. Corey did what she did best. She ran. She ran as far and as fast as she could, until all of that anger, and that hatred, exploded out of her. Her bones broke. Her flesh rended. She took the shape of Crinos for the first time in a whirlwind of blood and snow, and when she saw her reflection in the ice of a small glacial lake she happened upon, she slipped helplessly into the Umbra.
Corey doesn't talk much about what happened in the Umbra, but it wouldn't be for several hours that her father found her naked, standing in the snow, and carried her home in his arms. Corey Fischer's life was changed forever. Garou from the Powder-Horn Sept would find her soon after, and do their best to teach her about the Garou, and she'd do her best to teach them about casseroles, which would earn her the cub name "Tater-Tot" that would stick for the next several years.
