#Leucocoprinus fragilissimus

Oh hello void! I am here once again to yell about my children, except its more specific this time.

Warnings for this post: mentions of past self harm (fictional) and mental illness (also fictional)

We're doing a deep dive on Aisha, who for some reason is the character I find most interesting to write.

So backstory eh? yeah, she didn't have... the ideal childhood. Raised by her single mom, she never felt like enough, always in her mother's shadow. Her mother, the well known scientist. The respected head of the research department at one of the best medical facilities in the world. The girl who came from nothing, and ended up with everything.

She wasn't like that. Neither was her sister. They were inseparable. From an early age, her mother treated them more like test subjects than daughters.

This uh... fucked Aisha up. A lot. She started viewing not only herself, but other people as lab rats. things to be curious about. To poke and prod until something in them finally snaps.

She found bodies fascinating. Such complex things. One could only wonder what were the limits.

She started... testing on herself. Seeing how much blood she could lose before passing out. How high she would have to fall to break her legs. Eventually one of her teachers found out what was happening, and of course being concerned, contacted child services. She was mandated to take therapy. She got better, at least in terms of taking care of herself.

Time skip, to high school, where her sister decided to persue a career in education, going to college for it and all set. She wasn't so sure about what she wanted to be. So when asked if she wanted to be an intern at her mother's work, she felt compelled to accept.

She's 18, and an intern at one of the medical research centers that held the first samples of the infection when an 'accidental' contamination of her food ended up turning her. She mainly found out something was wrong when she realized there were some gaps in her memory.

At this point the news of the new 'magic ptsd curing pill' actually holding an infection had broken.

2 weeks. It took two weeks for society to completely fall apart. large buildings were repurposed to be holding centers. People were arrested for even interacting with the infected. Buildings brought down. Innocent civilians killed.

She managed to hide her infection during this time, but one day after waking up and seeing herself in the mirror, she saw her hair had become a light blue silk-like colour and consistency. Her eyes were a sunny yellow, and there were small growths on her neck. She ran away.

(that's where our story starts)

For appearence, she's fairly short, with dark brown skin. Blue hair, yellow eyes.

She's a flora variant. She's based on the Leucocoprinus fragilissimus, also known as the fragile dapperling.

Fragile Dapperling

The pictures show a top view and a side view of the mushroom Leucocoprinus fragilissimus (Agaricaceae), a species with wide distribution in many continents, quite characteristic by its shape and color. 

Although the cap of this mushroom is bell-shaped when young, it becomes broadly convex and uplifted in age. The caps are up to 4.5 cm wide, and its surface is translucent-striate from the margin of the disc, pale yellowish white, resembling the paper umbrellas used to decorate cocktails.

Underside the gills are white.The stalk is thick and extremely fragile, pale yellow when fresh, darkening in age, and coated overall with tiny yellowish scales.
