"She falls into the 'weird girl who can strangely talk to animals' category of autism. She has a connection to the toxic jungle and the insects that live in it, but also to the other animals that live outside of it, like her fox squirrel Teto. She manages to calm him down while he's freaking out. She's also a hashtag girlie in stem. She's researching the toxic jungle, and managed to discover that it's not the plants that are toxic, but the soil itself. She has a whole underground laboratory hidden under her castle where she grows the plants and observes them. She's extremely compassionate and headstrong. When someone disagrees with her she just. Stares at them and smiles until they relent. She has expressed feeling more at home in the jungle than with other humans, feeling like she's not a human herself. There's a scene in the movie where she lays down on the ground and cries because she loves the sand so much."

"One of the floofiest and most adorable characters to grace the pages of civilized art. She doesn't realize how getting up close to a guy's face can freak him out, and it takes nearly a full day of self-reflection to realize she likes him. Fav character from fav manga."
"Spacey, not very emotive, constantly forgets her glasses in spite of being totally blind without them, and the best girl from my favorite manga of all time. Perhaps the most neurodivergent manga character that isn't coded to the "unemotional smart" archetype. She's so adorable and I need 10."

"She’s very brave in the face of danger, but she still finds herself reserved and quiet most of the time, only showing her soft sides and weak sides to her friends and even helps them emotionally even if she isn’t the best at expressing those feelings herself."
