Mike

Mike was born a male Fox Keirdran and remains that way until he crossed paths with Lady Nora who changed him into a female for a short while for her own amusement. Mike has lived the entire of his life knowing only slavery, being born into it himself. Soon after he reached working age he was purchased by a young man named Eric Vaughan, along with his best friend and fellow slave Evals. For many years Mike has worked with Evals as shiphand for their master and although Mike seems more expecting of his situation his bashful friend has other ideas.

After Eric is asked by the former Grand Templar for assistance Mike and Evals were forced to follow their master on a trip to the Basitin Islands. During their return journey events transpired which led to Eric reconsidering the ownership of his slaves and eventually setting them free once they reached the mainland. Now free Keidrans Evals suggested that the two of them travel back to his home Dog territory although Mike isn't so sure of his plan due to the tension between Foxes and Dogs.

Personality
"He used to be perfectly satisfied with his lot in life, until the fateful day he came across a black-magic-wielding Basitin."

Biography
"Mike used to be one of several slaves working under Eric. His job was primarily to maintain Eric's ship. He is good friends with Evals, another ex-slave on Eric's ship."

Appearance
Mike is a fairly average looking fox(at least in his male form). He is mostly orange with black accents at the tip of his hands, feet, ears, hair and tail as well as a black nose. He also has white fur along the bottom half of his muzzle, most of his torso and down to his groin. Mike has a scar on his left cheek that was later explained in a side sketch to be from Eric's brother Roderick's abuse.

In female form, Mike is mostly the same with some subtle changes. Of course, being a woman, Mike has a far more curvaceous and feminine appearance. The tufts of fur around his ears have grown longer and his eyes are now blue instead of brown. He also gains a white furred heart shaped fur pattern on his butt.

History
Mike was born into slavery and presumably separated from his whoever his parents were. While still young he was befriended by another slave, Evals, and the two became close friends. Unlike Mike, Evals hadn't been born into slavery and knew what it was like to be free. Soon after the two friends were both purchased by Eric Vaughan, a young merchant.

Mike and Evals spent the next few years of their lives working predominately as ship hands aboard Eric's boat. At some point, presumably during his earlier enslavement under Eric, Eric's older brother Roderick hit Mike for apparently "slacking off", leaving a permanent scar on his left cheek.

During a situation when Mike and Evals were watching Keith and Natani sparring on the ship, Natani's bandages rip, thus revealing his secret to the two observers. Keith, reacting quickly, claims he used "Dark Basitin magic" to turn Natani into a woman. Fearing for their manhood, Mike and Evals run out of the room Keith and Natani were practicing in.

Later on when he and Evals are watching Trace and the rest leave the ship to enjoy themselves, while the two of them were made to stay behind and watch the ship. After a while Lady Nora, who was resting nearby while transformed into a unassuming cat, causes an illusion which turns Mike into a female in revenge for them tossing a bottle over board and waking her up. The transformation caused Mike's hair to become longer, his fur pattern to change into the shape of a heart around his bottom, and his body to become smaller. After seeing his new feamle form Evals told Mike that he "looked hot."

After his gender change insistent, still in feamle form, Evals repeatedly begged Mike to "let him see" which caused him to punch Evals in the nose. Mike was then able to come to the conclusion that his female body is merely an illusion due to the fact that when he punched Evals he still managed to reach him even though he was now short.

Later when the two are seen again Mike is seen to have beaten Evals in a fight that presumably followed their previous punching incident. Mike believes that he owed Evals after hurting him so badly due to the fact that he punched his nose so hard it bled. He pays this debt by letting Evals see his female body naked again.

Chapter 11
The result of Mike this debt by letting Evals see his female body naked again is shown during their first appearance of the chapter to which Evals evidently enjoyed.

The next morning when the two wake up, Evals being the way he is climbing into the bed with Mike. While Mike was having a dream about an attractive vixen he accidentally kisses Evals in his sleep which causes Evals to wake up and discover that the illusion has worn off. The duo are suddenly interrupted by Kathrin before anything could be said and both Mike and Evals scream in surprise.

Later, despite their awkward kissing situation, Mike and Evals agree that they are still good friends. After along silence the Mike admitted that Evals was his first kiss but before the two could talk further they are surprised by the distant explosion of the Templar Tower.

Personality
Mike is a soft spoken fellow, no doubt due to his slave upbringing. He mostly keeps to himself and is a bit skittish, wishing to avoid conflict yet also kind and caring.. When on the Basitin islands, he and Evals hid under the deck to avoid being caught and reveals he didn't want to leave the Islands and abandon everyone else. Though he and Evals were quick to try and take off when the Basitins told them they'd be killed if they didn't leave.

He's a bit silly, still wearing his shackles of bondage because he was supposed to even though he could easily remove them and escape. He even offered to put them back on so that Flora could remove them for him.

Mike also feels very distant from from Keidran culture. Having been born into slavery and spent most of his life around humans, Mike has little to no real understanding of Keidran traditions and even admits he can barely speak Keidran. In his reference sheet, it is revealed that Mike is ambitious and dreams of being a merchant.

Evals
Evals is Mike's best and closest friend. He is the only one Mike can really trust and the two have known each other since childhood. When Evals was captured, Mike was there to befriend him, holding the crying Evals hand. The two were then sold to Eric's parents as ship hands and have been close ever since. For most of the comic, the two have been almost inseparable. Both appear on page together almost all the time(they even share a reference sheet together)but it's this closeness that leaves the both of them crestfallen when Mike talks about splitting up.

Trivia

 * Normal Mike used to have grey colored eyes during his early appearances however, as the art style became more detailed throughout the comic, he is now shown with blue eyes.
 * While being in his Female form, Mike was afraid that Eric would have made him do perverted things if he found out. In fact, he is so upset that he becomes teary-eyed just thinking about it.


 * During a Christmas special page which are considered non-canon, Mike is shown kissing Evals happily. However this was due to the fact that Evals was holding mistletoe over his head and Mike decided to give him what he wanted with it being Christmas.


 * After kissing Evals in his sleep, Mike claims that it was his first kiss. The relationship between the two of them seems to only be good friends, Evals was only interested in Mike romantically while in his female form however we don't know for sure as the events of the kiss have never been brought up since.
 * Despite the fact that the Dog clans often capture members of the Fox clans and sell them into slavery, Mike bears no ill will against Evals.
