Cappu's Lore
In the world of the virtual ambassadors, Cappus are a magical creature species, and Mo was originally a Cappu herself. Though she acquired a human form after coming to Earth, she dearly missed her old form and the family it represented. Thus, Faye brewed a potion to return her to Cappu form that she kept on hand in case she ever needed it. During her exploration of SFU’s Burnaby campus, Mo discovered the existence of raccoons- a Earth animal species shockingly similar to Cappus, but grey- and found kinship with them. One thing led to another, and one of SFU’s raccoons accidentally found itself covered in the potion, undergoing a magical transformation of its own into a Cappu! It had been bestowed with a greater conscience, intelligence, and the capacity to learn. Now, Cappus find themselves as students at SFU, and occasionally helping at Faye’s research lab as interns.
