San Fransisco

Pretty average. I am – I think – transgender, and open about it, but most people would think I’m a girl. Maybe a tomboy. And sometimes, I have bad skin.

I run my hands through my hair when I’m thinking.

 

4. What is your hero's motivation?

First, do no harm – which is important when you are in a symbiotic relationship with a mutated fungus. So that mean’s controlling it. What else? Some day I need to work out what to do with the family estate, and the memories of mother. And then I have a duty to use my powers for something positive. So I guess work out what that positive is going to be.
