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 ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™s Burnaby campus, Mo discovered the existence of raccoons- a human animal species shockingly similar to Cappus, but grey- and found kinship with them. One thing led to another, and one of ´óÏó´«Ã½â€™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 ´óÏó´«Ã½, and occasionally helping at Faye’s research lab as interns.
