Another introduction... of sorts.

[colorfulworld]

Hi everyone! Meet Aftran. Aftran is a Yeerk who has been around for a while, hanging out in a little girl's head and having existential emo about enslaving other living beings. However, thanks to the science department, Aftran is now human. Hurrayyy for humans. (For added fun: since the DNA for the morph came from people of various sexes the human morph is rather androgynous, and since Yeerks are an asexual species Aftran doesn't really care which gender people interpret her as. Although I'll probably fall back on using "her" as a pronoun since it's what I've been using since she was apped.)

BONUS NOTE: There is now a little human girl with absolutely no special abilities or skills just sort of hanging around. I'm leaning toward probably repodding Karen, but there are a few other ideas I'm tossing around too: Deaging her during the Melting Clock plot and leaving her as a baby for someone to adopt once it's done, killing her off horribly (any murderers want a nice convenient victim?), having her take up an apprenticeship with a cabbage seller on Merchant Planet, etc. etc. IDK YET.

EDIT: I've decided to try keeping Karen around to see if I can't develop her as a character. Hurray! She'll now be located at addingsomecolor. I'll only be using cattleherding for backtags from now on.
