History:
Dithad hails from the northwestern part of Mistledale, from a sleepy little hamlet not too far from the forest of Cormanthor. Born to a simple farming family, he proved far too clever to be satisfied with the simple life. Dithad quickly displayed a sense of innocent mischief that tended to make him popular with the other youths and much less popular with the working adults. When not making trouble, he tended to explore the edges of the forest of Cormanthor whenever he could. It was on one of these exploratory trips that he encountered an odd fox whose tail had silvery-colored fur at the end that walked right up to him. When he hesitantly touched the fox (who seemed to be staring expectantly at him), he was very surprised to find a mystic bond forming between him and the fox.
Dithad of course couldn’t wait to try out his new magical powers, much to the frustration of his new familiar and the shocked surprise of everyone that knew him. What was, perhaps, less surprising to his family and friends was that he took it as a sign to leave and travel the world. This was much more to the liking of his familiar, who he named Silvertail for obvious reasons. Indeed, as soon as they left the nameless hamlet Dithad had lived in his whole life she led him… to another sleepy little hamlet. Where they healed a cow.
This confused both of them.
Since then Dithad and Silvertail have traveled the world and explored their powers, Dithad getting the adventure he'd craved while Silvertail got intelligence and power she'd never known. Silvertail is still very much of the opinion that humans (and humanoids in general) are destructive, evil brutes, while Dithad does his best to show her the better side of humanity. They sometimes deal with odd 'requests' they figure are from their patron, where Silvertail will suddenly *know* they have to go somewhere, they go and do something seemingly small, and then they're done and have no idea why it was so important for them to do it.

History:
Silvertail was a fox who was driven from her den and her kits by human hunters. Injured and frightened, she fled far, through places strange to her. Rendered feverish by an infected wound she did whatever she could to survive, eating and drinking things she normally would have turned away from as her strength faltered. Something she encountered must have had some magic to it, for she suddenly found her thoughts changing, questioning the world around her more. In pain and despair she turned to the skies, saw some stars that momentarily reminded her of another fox, and wished for something to improve her fortunes. An odd sense led her through the forest to, of all things, a human. While at first she was inclined to flee, the sense told her it was safe, so she approached the human... and was shocked when he touched her and a mystic bond formed between them.
Silvertail was not particularly fond of being beholden to a human, and she was especially unhappy when she found out that, for all that she got some abilities she couldn’t otherwise have, she didn’t have the ability to use the ‘magic’ that her ‘master’ did. Not to mention she couldn’t inform said human of just how terrible his species was. So she did everything she could think of to direct some of the magic towards herself. She succeeded in at least getting the capability to make Dithad (what sort of a name was that?) understand her… and in growing a second tail.
Since the rather odd demand that strange sense that led her gave to them right after they first met, Silvertail has had to deal with other strange feelings of needing to be somewhere, which is annoying but at least she seems to be making some kind of progress. Perhaps someday she might be able to have a litter of kits that won’t get murdered. Wouldn’t that be nice. There doesn’t seem to be much chance of changing the world from its annoyingly humanoid-dominated state, so she’ll just have to settle for that.
