Backstory: For as long as Moth can remember, they've been alone. They grew up in the Appalachian wilderness with only the the singing of the birds and the chirping of the crickets to keep them company. They expected it to always be this way until one night when they found a cemetery in the farthest part of the forest. Moth was fascinated with the strange sculptures and mysterious markings on them, so fascinated that they over time taught themself how to read them. Fearful by nature, Moth was for a long time to afraid to interact with the humans that frequented the sight. But one cold November night, a mix of loneliness and curiosity drove them to make contact. They lost their nerve after beginning seen for only a few seconds, but this would mark the first in a series of interactions that would end in tragedy. On December 15, 1967 Moth attempted to perch on a suspension chain of the Silver Bridge, but when they landed to hard the chain snapped. This caused the bridge collapsed, killing 46 people. Horrified at what they had done, Moth retreated home into their woods and swore to never interact with anyone again out of fear of hurting someone. Moth grew depressed, feeling nothing but intense guilt and crushing loneliness. Years pasted by like this, until one day another creature passed through their woods. Moth wanted to keep their vow to never make contact with anyone ever again, but it had been so long and they where so very lonely. For a moment their loneliness overwhelmed their guilt and they met the traveling creature. The traveler told them about a school for supernatural beings like Moth, a school where they could finally stop being alone in safety. Even though Moth felt they didn't deserve to, they decided to attend. They took the name of the Silver Bridge as their own as a constint reminder of the deaths they had caused and for first time in decades left the woods.
