Hatching a Chick v0.22

HATCHING A CHICK

Enough!
How many times have you fantasized about being a girl? Why do you seek out CYOAs that allow you to do so, again and again?
I've been watching you. Your life. The sort of things you've been getting off to. You blatantly want to be a woman but won't admit it. Not even to yourself. That's why you fixate on being "forced" to become what you want to be.
It's okay. I'm here to help.
I'm a witch.
If you need someone to force you to be happy.. I'll do it.


THE RULES OF MAGIC
Now, I won't take no for an answer, but this is still your life so I'm going to give you some leeway.
Each section describes the baseline changes I'll make followed by 6 blessings and 6 curses.
You *must* pick at least 3 options from each category. 3 blessings, 3 curses.
Yes, this is necessary. Magic can't create something from nothing. There is always a cost.
Please remember that I have your best interests in mind. Many of the curses I picked out are really blessings in disguise.
They'll help you to become who you truly want to be. Now now, no use denying it. I saw your web history.
Speaking of which, I know you're the girly girl type. Don't be embarrassed. It's okay for a girl to be want to be girly.
I'll help you realize who you were all along.

Right. The spell.
No force in the universe can directly undo the effect of a spell. Fate will frustrate any such attempts via plausible-looking deus ex machinas. Only magicians or those touched by magic will notice something is amiss.
You won't be able to tell anyone about what has occurred to you, that you're not a girl (which is a lie anyhow) or that you'd like them to undo any of the effects of the spell. You also won't be able to, goddess forbid, seriously hurt anyone. Sorry. I have to take some precautions. Don't worry about your friends and family - everyone who ever knew you will forget you existed.


PHYSIQUE
So, I'm obviously going to turn you into a lady. That much is a given. By default you'll look like the most average woman imaginable. The platonic ideal of mediocrity. I'll leave stuff like ethnicity, hair color and so on to you.

<<Blessings>>

<Flawless Face>
Your face is cherubic and adorable beyond belief. It has a girlish appearance to it, making you look younger than you are.
Expect to get carded a lot.

<Magnificent Mammaries>
Your perky DD-cup breasts are downright perfect. Large enough to turn heads, small enough to not hurt your back.
They'll never, ever sag.

<Beautiful Bottom>
You have a massive, round, flawless bubble butt. It jiggles ever so slightly as you move. Your wide hips and long legs match it well.

<Perfect Posture>
You carry yourself with the grace of a princess. This gives you an aura of unshakeable dignity that commands respect.

<Medical Marvel>
You're at your ideal weight and this will always be the case. You won't ever grow fat no matter what. You're always energetic.

<Concordant Cords>
Your voice is beautiful, powerful, and when need be, terrible. The sort that could equally rile up a stadium or lead a nation.

>>Curses<<

>Smol<
You're short and weak, even for a woman. You'll have to rely on other people to carry things for you, reach high shelves, open jars..

>Rapunzel<
Your hair is ludicrously long, reaching past your butt. It's quite lovely but it also requires a lot of maintenance.
Remember the whole "nothing can undo magic" spiel? That means that it'll always be at least this long.
You can still style it, mind. Magic is concerned with the spirit of the law, not the letter.

>Manipedi<
You have fashionably long nails. They're pretty but they make it hard to get things done..

>Daywalker<
Your skin is pale and incredibly delicate. If it's sunny you'll have to cover yourself up like some sort of a ninja or just use a parasol. I recommend the parasol. Actually, scratch that, I think you're too shy to make the right choice. I'll modify the spell so that you can only protect yourself with hand-held accessories.

>Achilles' Heels<
You suffer from a rare medical condition that causes you to be unable to walk properly in normal shoes.
You'll have to wear modest high heels to get around.

>Moo<
You lactate. If you don't milk yourself every few days your breasts start to ache. Maybe you could volunteer as a wetnurse?


PERSONALITY
I'm not going to outright turn you into someone else. That would be unethical. Instead I'm going to nudge you in the right direction. Listen carefully. This part is a bit complicated.
When the spell gives you a certain personality trait it really gives you the potential to develop that trait, plus some encouragement.
If you'd like to act according to a spell-granted trait you only need to will it. The rest will come naturally.
Staying "in character" will make your dreams lucid. "Breaking character" will give you terrible nightmares that leave you drained.
Staying in character as often as you break character will leave your dreams untouched. It's fine to rebel now and then.
Submitting to a blessing can only "pay off" blessing-related disobedience and vice versa for curses.
Every time you act as you should you'll find that you've taken a step toward becoming the mask.

Personality blessings gives you a certain supernatural boon. When you resist a blessing the relevant boon is disabled for a week.
Even the nicest lady in the world snaps at people now and then. An occasional "in character" lapse is fine and won't lock your power.

<<Blessings>>

<Kind>
All things being equal, you want others to be happy and to do well. You try to treat everyone compassionately.
There is power to kindness. People will usually notice that you genuinely want them to be happy. Most will treat you better in return.

Boon:
When you try to help someone out of the kindness of your heart, as long as you don't have to hurt anyone, you'll probably succeed.
Major undertakings, such as curing a certain illness, might require years or decades of work.

<Maternal>
You have a strong nurturing instinct. You love children, know how to get along with them and find it easy to understand them.
Children adore you in return. All but the most troublesome behave when you're around.

Boon:
You intuitively know when a person younger than yourself is troubled by something. You can usually get them to open up about it.
If you give them advice with the intent of helping them they'll usually take it.
This effect doesn't work on your spouse (oh, be patient, we'll get there).

<Kawaii>
You're naturally and instinctively cute.
The way you talk, the way you move, your taste in clothes.. everything about you conspires to make others think you're adorable.
Few have the heart to mistreat someone like you.

Boon:
People have a hard time believing you'd do anything bad on purpose. Minor misdeeds are quickly forgiven and forgotten.
Serious violations will break the glamour, as will repeated attempts to torment someone innocent.

<Devoted>
You love your spouse fully and completely. If they're happy you're happy. You'd do most-anything to please them.
As a result they're just as devoted to you. They would never willingly cause you grief.

Boon:
Love conquers all! If one of you has a personal problem the other will usually be able to come with a solution.
Also, you're sex gods.

<Prim&Proper>
You're a true lady, unshakably polite at all times. Your manners are impeccable.
Other women tend to look up to you. Men tend to respect you.

Boon:
You're incredibly charismatic as long as you don't do or say anything unladylike.
You could persuade a crowd of the truth of your words but not galvanize it to overthrow the government.

<Vain>
You're extremely proud of your appearance. You enthusiastically take care of your body, do your makeup, brush your hair and so on. You're able to do so quickly and efficiently. What would normally be a chore is just a pleasurable pastime.
Others frequently give you compliments.

Boon:
With enough time and effort you can make virtually anyone breathtakingly beautiful.
You can also pass on your techniques to others. They'll never be as good as you, of course, but most dream of being half as talented.

>>Curses<<

>Submissive<
You're servile by nature. Doing what others tell you to do feels good. You like to feel useful and needed.
Your generosity has limits. You're reluctant to do anything that would harm others or debase you.

>Emotional<
Your emotions are greatly heightened. The highs are great but you're also very sensitive. A rude comment could make you cry.
For that matter a lot of things make you cry, though usually from happiness. A beautiful sunset or a wedding could set you off.

>Gossiper<
You're intensely curious about the private lives of others and tend to pry, even when this is inappropriate.
You also can't keep your mouth shut. Secrets you get a hold of usually don't stay secret for long.
You have enough self control to never share something that would truly make someone miserable for long.

>Catty<
You intuitively view other pretty girls as competition. If another attractive girl you know outdoes you in any way you get jealous.
When you're jealous of a lady you start trying to one-up her. Success will lead to unseemly gloating, failure to crying in the bathroom
It takes time and effort but you can get over your dislike for a particular woman.

>Wholesome<
You have the sensibilities of a pure-hearted maiden of myth.
A reference to something lewd is enough to make you turn bright red and try to excuse yourself.
Violence, even cartoonish violence, makes you sick.
Conflict makes you feel unwell unless you have to stand up for an innocent or protest against an injustice.

>Ostentatious<
You love to show off. You don't have a single practical outfit in your closet. The exact flavor of impractical depends on your style.
For example girly girls will own stuff like hoop skirts, punky girls will own nigh-obscene mesh net outfits and so on.


INTERESTS
What's the use in turning you into a girl if you're just going to sit around and shitpost on 4chan? We need to get you out of the house
Magically-induced interest work a lot like the personality traits from the previous section. They're *potentials*.
When you pursue one of these interests you find that there's a lot to like about it.
The more you pursue an interest the more you grow to genuinely love it.
Interests, just like personality traits, affect your dreams.
If you pursue your girly interests over your old boyish ones you'll have good dreams and vice versa.
An hour spent on a girly hobby cancels out an hour spent on a boyish one and vice versa.

The baseline restrictions I'll place on you will give me enough juice to cover the cost of these blessings. This section has no curses.

<<Blessings>>

<Fashion>
The quintessential girly hobby. You love putting together outfits, shopping for clothes, dressing up and reading fashion magazines.
You enjoy helping others via makeovers.

<Cooking>
You enjoy cooking. For yourself, yes, but especially for others. Watching someone enjoy a meal you made them makes you feel amazing.
You particularly like making and decorating cute pastries.

<Romance Novels>
You're a bookworm of a very particular kind. You devour romance novels at an alarming rate, imagining yourself as the heroine.
You like to discuss the stories you've read in book clubs.

<Dancing>
You like dancing, especially in front of a crowd. You appreciate many different styles but ballet is your favorite.
You're too shy to dance alone. You prefer to dance with others.

<Singing>
You really want to be the lead singer in a band. You like girly pop songs the best and try to mimic the mannerisms of your idols.

<Sewing>
You enjoy creating outfits and costumes, particularly fancy ones.
It's a lot of work but watching a girlfriend's eyes light up makes it worth it.
Spending hours sewing alone gets a bit lonely so you prefer to do it with others.


BFFS
I'm not going to make everyone forget you and then just leave you to fend for yourself!
I'll weave fate so that you'll run into a few people who would genuinely like the new you. People of the sort you already like.
This section works a bit differently. I'm going to summon three friends-to-be. Choose one "blessing" and one "curse" for each person. Since I'm just summoning them I'm not actually modifying them. That would be unethical. You're just telling me what to look for.
I hope you understand the gist about dreams by now. In short:
Spending your free time with your BFFs, with your family or pursuing an interest: good.
Being a loner or hanging out with others: bad.

<<"Blessings">>

<Tomboy>
Likes science, guns, cars. If you need help with boy stuff she's there for you.

<Team Mom>
An older woman, regal and kind. She always watches out for you and for your friends.

<Clubber>
This lady hits the dance floor several times a week. She parties hard but almost never gets drunk.
She'll show you an amazing time if you let her, regardless of your interests.

<Activist>
She fights for the rights of women everywhere. When she calls you a sister she means it.
She'll try to get you to go to protests with her but she'll still like you if you won't.

<Belle>
A traditional lady. Refined and polite. The ideal person to girl out with.

<Writer>
Brilliant, absolutely brilliant, but too rebellious to do well in any system. Gives great advice. Wants to fight The Man.

>>"Curses"<<

>Wallflower<
She's not shy as much as she's completely unassertive. She struggles to stand up to others and hates conflict.

>Tease<
She likes teasing you. Not to tears - at least, almost never to tears - but just enough to get you flustered. It gets old.

>Reflection<
She has one of your Personality curses. You tend to bring out the worse in each other as far as that trait is concerned.

>Rival<
She's into one of your interests and can get really competitive about it. She'll always try to best you.
When she does expect her to gloat.

>Weeaboo<
Likes to dress up like cartoon characters. Says desu and chan a lot. Sorta makes you cringe now and then.

>Player<
She's been around. Where? Everywhere. This wouldn't be a problem if she stopped sleeping with and then ghosting men you know.
She wants you to be her wingwoman.


JOB
We still need to get you on your feet. You don't want to spend your life mooching off your friends, right? You need a job.
I'll help you get one. No offense but knowing you you probably *would* prefer to be a NEET.
Hmm.. something suitable.. let's see..
Okay, pick one of the six options below. A job is both a blessing and a curse. Choose wisely.
You'll find that you quickly get fired from every other job you get unless you put at least 20 hours a week into this one.
On the plus side you won't get fired as long as you at least try to do the job you chose.
If you'll look for things to like about your job you'll succeed in finding them.

><Secretary<>
You work at a local nonprofit. You'll take calls, go over documents, arrange meetings and make coffee.

><Waitress<>
You work at a maid cafe. You'll take orders, deliver food, wash dishes and chat up the guests.

><Kindergarten Teacher<>
You work at the local school. Your job is to take care of and educate children aged 3 to 6.

><Beautician<>
You work at a beauty parlor. Your job is to take care of the hair of your customers, do their makeup and paint their nails.

><Maid<>
You clean houses all over the city. You wear a cute maid outfit in order to market your service. No buts. You know you want to.

><Housewife<>
Ugh, fine you lazy bitch, but I'm not letting you off easily. You'll find yourself unable to hold any job whatsoever.
I hope you marry someone rich.


THE ONE
Basically, I'm giving you a husbando or a waifu. This is non-negotiable but, come on, who would refuse this?
This is another summoning thingy. You list some qualities, I make sure that you meet the one you'll spend the rest of your life with. You'll fall in love with them the instant you see them, just like in a shitty romance movie.
Don't fret, they'll like you too. I'll find someone who'll think you're the perfect girl.
Whatever they are, you're now into. Whatever you are, they're into.
The intensity of your feelings will all but ensure that you end up together.
Sex, ethnicity and other insignificant factors are up to you.

<<"Blessings">>

<Charismatic>
In another age they could've been a great warlord. When they speaks men listen and you swoon.

<Romantic>
They'll buy you flowers, take you out on surprise dates, and will generally make your heart melt and your legs wobble.

<Loaded>
Don't worry your pretty little head about money. They earn several times as much as you do.

<HOT>
I mean, they're attractive by default, but this pushes their hotness over the top. Just remember to wear a panty liner..

<Bueno>
They're into the fetishes you're into.. *except* for feminization.

<No, no, hold it like this..>
They're amazingly good at one of your boyish interests. Way better than you are. They love teaching you about it.

>>"Curses"<<

>Alpha<
They expect you to be "the woman" in the relationship. The housework's on you.

>Hoodlum Friends<
They bring a bunch of their loud mates home a few times a week. They play cards and watch sports.
You dislike them but put on a brave face for your lover.
You're often asked to fetch drinks while they're at it.

>Nerd<
They're really into a hobby you think is really dumb. You do your best to pretend that you think it's cool but it's hard.

>Baby Fever<
They desperately want you to give birth to their children. Plural. At least 5.

>Tiles..?<
They have a bizarre fetish. They expect you to indulge them now and then.

>Uncivilized<
They lack manners. It's quite embarrassing. They're not very fond of showering either.
If you pressure them they eventually relent and wash themselves but expect them to protest.


HAPPILY EVER AFTER
Here's your last chance you manipulate fate. Make it count!
Pick one blessing from any previous section, one curse from any previous section, and one blessing below. This one's on me.

<<Blessings>>

<Quirk>
Pick another hobby. Spending time on it doesn't affect your dreams. No, you can't pick "shitposting on 4chan".

<Protip>
After working at your job for ten years you get good enough at one of your new hobbies to become a professional.
This becomes your new job, as detailed in the job section.
You can't pick this if you're a housewife.

<Confidant>
You can tell *one* of your BFFs about what happened to you.
You can discuss it between yourselves but neither of you can tell anyone else or work toward ending the spell.
She'll understand.

<A Way Out>
I think you'll regret picking this one but alright. Consider this a fail-safe.
If you manage to avoid having any magic-induced nightmares for a year and you *still* want to go back to being the old you afterwards then I'll allow it.  Succeed and the spell will rewind the world to the second before I met you. It'll then make sure that I never do. It'll even allow you to keep your new body and your boons if that's what you want. Fully embrace your new life and I'll throw you a party and allow you to pick another blessing from this section. I'll make fun of you for thinking I was wrong though.
Give things an honest go, okay?

Fair warning: if you actually want this life on some level you will almost certainly fail to "break" the spell. No worries though, right? You wouldn't have picked this option if that was the case, right?


EPILOGUE
Well, this is it. I hope that you do understand that I'm doing this for you
You lived as you did for so long, never acting on your wish, pretending day after week after year after decade..
What other option did I have? How can you help someone who won't help themselves? Who lives from one fantasy to the next?
You show them dreams don't have to stay dreams. You make them imagine actually acting on their desires.
So.. go, go and become who you want to be. Good luck! I'm rooting for you!
There is always a cost, but sometimes it is worth paying.
