You Look Familiar
Magical beings often have servants from the animal kingdom all too willing to assist in their, what often turn out to be, their nefarious endeavors. These animals are known as “familiars”, beasts who act as the most loyal of minions to their master’s whims. Witches have cats, wizards sometimes have little dragons. Demons are no different when it comes to minions but usually they would prefer to possess a sentient being such as a human or even another demon as their familiar.
By definition, they’re not familiars but more like slaves. Morgalla, thinking that slavery is wrong, will not “take” anyone as hers. She does not choose a familiar but one will choose her. Freezing in the snow after escaping an abusive home, a miniature Dachshund will be discovered by Morgalla who will make an offer to the dog. Following her home to her modest apartment, the dog will be invited in, a choice that will change her life forever. The dachshund could tell Morgalla’s good nature and decided to stay with her, a loyal companion if ever there was one. Giving the dog the name Jeepers, she would become Morgalla’s familiar and be blessed with a high I.Q. And the ability to talk.
They would become the surrogate mother/daughter in each other’s lives. Jeepers would be allowed to go with Morgalla where ever she would go. Trough her powers of suggestion, Morgalla would convince people that the dog was a small child, so she could go anywhere with her “momma”.
Though not related by blood, Jeepers would seem to adopt some of Morgalla’s more colorful personality traits. Annoy or insult her and you might hear the words “Kiss my butt primate!” uttered from what appears to be a two-year-old child.
