Harmony -" As an infant, Harmony was abandoned in a dark and forbidding forest.
By a miracle of compassion, a mother wolf adopted and raised Harmony as one of her
own. She may well have lived out the rest of her days romping and hunting with the
pack, if not for the chance discovery by an interloping musicologist, who was researching
the philosophical debate as to whether bird songs were actually 'songs' as defined by man.
With great effort (and a package of cookies), the scholar was able to lure this wild child
back to civilization.
Years later, with the concerted efforts of an entire university staff, Harmony was finally
deemed fit for proper society. She was now able to read, write, converse on a wide variety
of subjects and chew her food before swallowing. However, the one thing the musicologist
could never accomplish with Harmony was to teach her even the rudiments of human music.
All she was ever capable of producing were guttural growls and piercing howls (when the
moon and mood suited her). One day, Harmony decided to return to her old hunting grounds.
Sadly, no sign could be found of her former furry family. However, she was noticed by a
passing UFO, whose occupants without warning abducted her into their ship. After a grueling
battery of tests, the aliens pronounced Harmony a fairly typical, if slightly cuter than average,
human. They did notice one abnormality, though. This was the nearly complete lack of a music
center in her brain. Feeling unusually charitable, the aliens infused Harmony's cerebral cortex
with The Awesome Musical Ability of the Cosmos and returned her to the woods. (An
unexpected side effect of this procedure is that Harmony is now a vegetarian.) The rest, as
they say, is history. Harmony is currently making the most of her musical gift with live
performances and the recording of her appropriately-titled debut CD, Lunar Dreams. She still
howls at the moon, but now she does so in perfect pitch."
