I never understood why changelings were prosecuted so much. I bet you they would be popular on earth. Imagine having one as a DM for a D&D campaign. They can be the miniatures and the terrain, transform into characters you interact with, and do so while being intimately aware of how these things act. They would make for cool friends, not to mention partners. Kira could get as freaky as she wanted.

We killed people for being witches over some moderate herb knowledge. You bet your ass we would be terrified of a being that can turn into whatever they wish at any given time.

Sure, but there is a world of difference between 1700 and today, and an even bigger difference between today and space faring civilizations.

I think the idea that changelings had universally negative experiences is crazy.
