(DRAMATIC TRADITIONAL MUSIC PLAYING) It was wartime. The men were all gone. Sun Yee was desperate for a way to protect herself and her daughters. Then one night, during a red moon, the gods granted her wish. They gave her the ability to harness her emotions to transform into a powerful, mystical beast. She was able to fend off bandits, protect her village, and save her family from ruin. Sun Yee passed this gift to her daughters, for when they came of age. And they passed it to theirs. But over time, our family chose to come to a new world. And what was a blessing became... an inconvenience.

Um, I think it's coming from the SkyDome, Mother. (SCOFFS) Four is the worst number. You know, Vivian was due on the fourth, but I held her in until the fifth... Quiet, Lily. Hurry up, everyone. It's almost time to start the ritual. Nervous, Mei-Mei? -A little. -Oh, well, I've got 50 years' experience as a shaman. (CHUCKLES) This will be a piece of cake.
