They were a very peculiar being. Not in a way of "oh, look at me, I'm so quirky!" but more so in a way that no one understood their methods and thoughts. They were always different, their ideas and fascinations were never appreciated by the masses. But Wondla, although fond of change, wasn't fond of changing themself so drastically as to reprogram their brain to fix themselves into someone more "ordinary." Instead, they expressed their strangeness openly, in as many ways as they could. The spherical plastic that encompassed their head is one of the ferret's many oddities. This odd helmet was not so much there for any issues, such as vision problems or allergies or protection, but simply there for their desire to see the world differently. So it was no wonder when the ferret at only five months old left the safety of their home. Gone were their parents and sibling and all those who didn't believe in them. They were free.

Through forests and jungles, they traveled, never quite satisfied with any of the places they had sheltered. They needed something grand, something truly suited for them and their passions. Somewhere they could gather supplies, where they could create. A place where all their dreams would be fulfilled. They were sure it was out there somewhere, just beyond the horizon. They just had to find it. A grin adorned the young ferret's features as they trekked on, their strange round accessory bouncing softly against their shoulders.

It was on the nth day of their journey that they noticed a change in the atmosphere. The scent of animals hung more heavily about the area they were currently approaching, it made them pause and wonder. This was something they had yet to discover on their journey, it made them a tad curious. Raising themselves onto their back legs, they looked around, observing the forest before them. Surely there was a reason so many creatures would gather in one place. The area in which they were standing was well-traveled from what they could tell, perhaps a local would be able to aid them on their quest for knowledge on this phenomenon.
