Christina Halloway has always felt a strange kinship with animals. Growing up in the Midwestern countryside, she cared for several pets, but she and Cherry--a wounded red fox she nursed back to health--were always inseparable. When her beloved fox was brutally killed by a Dark Man, Chrissy developed a supernatural connection to the beast. Now, she can commune with the ghosts of Cherry and other animals, solving crime and righting wrongs as the Pet Exorcist.

Through her spiritual connection with Cherry, Miss Halloway is able to detect and connect with animal spirits; she is able to speak to, aid, or even banish their restless souls. She's turned this ability into a small business of sorts, posting amateur fliers around her quaint college town and seeking clients who face pet or other animal hauntings.

In spite of her hard-working, can-do attitude, Chrissy is struggling to balance this extracurricular activity against the class-load of a college junior--favoring occult tomes over textbooks. She's rented half of an off-campus Victorian duplex to serve as both her home and office--a fittingly dilapidated headquarters for her work. Friendly and folksy but socially awkward--more comfortable with animals than people--, Chrissy is nevertheless grateful for help wherever she can find it. As much as she'd love to help others pro-bono, she desperately needs the money to pay her rent and tuition.

The slim, outdoorsy tomboy has shoulder-length blonde hair, full-blown bangs, and inquisitive, darting blue eyes. Chrissy dresses casually and favors mobility: pleated skirts, shorts, and band tees are her staples, but in light of her new hobby, she's begun throwing in a bit of gothic flair to impress clients. These splashes of darkness can feel out of place, given her otherwise sunny disposition.

Chrissy's naturally adventurous and carefree demeanor has been challenged by the realization that the supernatural is a treacherous sphere to play in. While she is clever, fit, and capable in her own right, when she invokes Cherry's spirit, her personality gives way to the fox's attributes, power, attitude, and proclivities--for better or worse.

Chrissy's ultimate goal is to hunt down Cherry's murderer: a Dark Man she can barely picture through the fox spirit's eyes. She aches to bring this mystery man to justice, but she also believes she has a responsibility to do the utmost good as she hones her gifts toward this purpose.
