aleSheepie
— Rita is an experiment on creating human life from an alchemical monster
— So she's technically half monster
— Also why she's able to copy them and speak to them
Eire
— O.O oh.
aleSheepie
— Yeah that's what hybrid means ;)
— As usual, I'm thinking it could be important for her, so I keep it from Vex
Eire
— Hmm, okay
— You're alright not having a Quirk to represent this? I mean, the class you picked (and another one from Techno Fantasy) can represent it just fine, but I want to be sure you're okay with this.
aleSheepie
— Yeah! I'm good
— We can say she learnt how to talk to monsters/animals in her time growing up
