History
Squirrel used to have an adult host- an author- and was a lot stronger than he normally was. But upon said host growing terribly ill, they weren’t quite able to feed both themselves and the parasite; though due to their condition the parasite couldn’t quite leech off of them without getting sick itself.

Eventually the host died, and squirrel was free to roam again, but not without serious detriments to its health. For a little while, it fed off of slow moving animals, or nocturnal animals, like possums (which gave it it’s coloration, and later; both Compass’s sensitive eyes and preference to play dead in the face of danger).

He found little Compass all alone - parents were either out, or gone (probably the former, but whoops, they weren’t there), and since the body was so small squirrel could just possess it. It was almost a perfect fit (excluding the fact that Compass nearly died during the process), but now Squirrel parents over her to the best of its natural ability; whatever human nature he absorbed from his last host doesn’t leave. And, likewise, not spending too long with their parents to begin with, Compass associates family with Squirrel due to the dislocation to her real parents she experienced as a little baby - though it’s not like she can remember them anymore anyways.
