In the kingdom of Femella, there was a forest, called Greenwood. In the forest there was a cunning shapeshifter by the name of Rob. She was a fox looking creature who wore a green witch's hat. Some people said that she's not a fox but a two headed woman. Which was mainly because she was a shapeshifter. Rob was greatly inspired by a legend named Robin Hood. Who was considered nothing but a myth. But Rob knew that he had existed and he was real. So she was known as Rob in the Hood.
Rob was always ready for helping others in her village. She was kind hearted and even ran an orphanage of her own. The kids refered to her as "Granny Rob". As a part time job she worked at a circus.
One night after she got done with her shift, she was visited by Scorpy. She was a thumb sized half fairy half scorpion. She and Rob were really good friends. She told Rob that she was being chased by the King again. And this time he had posted wanted posters all over the neighbourhood. A great reward was said to be given to whoever caught her. That made Rob get really worried. For she knew that some people of their village are very greedy and will do anything for the sake of money. Rob told her not to worry about it, and that she will try her best to help her. She asked Scorpy to stay at her house for the time being. To be on the safe side, in case she got attacked by the King's soldiers. They decided to devise a plan to tackle the King. And for that they decided to ask an old teacher of theirs for help, who was very wise, called Prof. Mc Goatigle.
