A Question About Naagloshii
exartiem:
What if Grey's mother was a nun? Given the evil proclivities of skinwalkers, I could imagine one raping a nun and impregnating her in order to torture her. Having her know that her child was the offspring of a monster, but not believing in abortion (or perhaps abortion didn't exist back then) she would have to carry the child.
What if she decided to raise the scion to be good? Naming him Goodman as a constant reminder to him. Remember, he did the job for Harry for $1 iirc. What if the "rent" he was paying was his saintly mother?
Torn between and evil father and a saintly mother, he is a mix of both.

Abortion has existed as long as women have been having babies... Safety and legality is another matter, but if a woman doesn't want to give birth to a child, she will find a way not to... It doesn't always work though, but the idea of a raped nun is interesting.. Or she doesn't have to be a nun, supposed the woman only saw the skin walker in his human form and fell in love having no idea until after she gave birth that his father was a monster?
exartiem:
I was referring to abortion in the modern, medical sense, not the bent wire or sharp stick sense.
I can't imagine a skinwalker falling in love. Unless there are good skinwalkers, which you would have to show me proof of.
But determining to raise her son to be good in defiance of the monster that assaulted her?

It does require a modicum of freedom, for the woman; and a certain degree of availability, from those with the knowledge and/or skills... Those aren't ALWAYS available. It's not like just because it was known to the Grecian Hetarae 2500 years ago, it was equally available to peasants 1000 years ago... Sometimes those "old wives tales" work, and sometimes they don't.

I think if you re-read what he wrote you'll likely conclude that he meant the woman falls in love with the Naagloshii, not the other way around. :)
