Kiana

OFFICIAL DESIGNATION: Anomalous Individual A-118 (Codename: "CHIMERA")

Year: 2026 Category: Post-Mortem Chimeric Reconstitution Containment Level: ███ (Cooperative Custody) Discovery Site: Brightmoor District, Detroit, Michigan. Abandoned residential lot, ██ ██████ St. Containment: Voluntary residence, ████████ Site-4 Civilian Wing Containment Status: Compliant Danger Level: Low (Subject), Undetermined (Phenomenon) Hostility: Non-Hostile (Excessively Apologetic)

DESCRIPTION: A-118 is a human female who revives spontaneously after clinical death, regardless of cause. Recorded causes include blunt force trauma, exsanguination, hypothermia, and one incident she refers to only as "the bus thing." Within four to forty minutes, all fatal damage is repaired, and one random region of her body is rewritten into an anthropomorphic animal analogue. The new tissue is vascularized, innervated, and immunologically accepted. It remains under voluntary control, though each acquisition requires an adjustment period. Sequencing shows the subject's own DNA spliced with donor-species code at the boundary seams, which suggests transcription rather than grafting. Donor species follow no discernible pattern of class, habitat, or geography.

The change is mandatory. No death on record has passed without one. At least one revival added a structure she never had, which raises concerns about unbounded growth and the eventual targeting of vital or cognitive organs. Subject estimates "around seven" deaths before recovery and cannot date the earliest ones. Origin is unknown. She has no known anomalous exposure, no family history of similar events, and incomplete paternal records.

ACQUIRED FEATURES: Hippopotamine Ears (Death 1): Rounded, greyish-pink hippo ears set at the sides of the head, with enhanced low-frequency hearing. She can fold them shut voluntarily and does so whenever someone raises their voice. This happens often.

Cervine Antler (Death 2): A single, unpaired deer antler on the right temple, velvet at the base and sensitive to touch there. It has never shed. Subject has broken two door frames with it and apologized profusely both times.

Felid Eye (Death 3): The right eye is gold with a slit pupil and glows faintly in low light. Night vision on that side is markedly superior. The mismatched depth perception initially gave her roughly six months of chronic headaches.

Saurian Hand (Death 4): The left hand and forearm are scaled green and yellow, ending in curved black claws. Its grip is roughly 40% stronger than her right. Buttons, handwriting, and touchscreens are more difficult with this hand. The limb is cold-blooded independent of the rest of her body and turns sluggish in winter.

Scorpion Tail (Death 5): An additive, segmented brown-amber tail at the base of the spine, ending in a working telson. Active venom glands produce a mild neurotoxin that induces localized numbness and paralysis. She has never used it deliberately and becomes distressed when asked about it. The tail reacts to her emotions on its own, coiling tight around her leg when she is anxious and swaying when she is pleased.

Caprine Leg (Death 6): Below the right knee is a coarse black-furred goat leg ending in a cloven hoof. It gives her a strong jump and an uneven gait. The hoof clops loudly in quiet hallways, which clearly mortifies the subject.

Predatory Teeth (Death 7): A full set of sharp, interlocking teeth. She calls them wolf teeth, though dental review and proper classification are ongoing. Bite force is significantly elevated. When startled, she grits her teeth involuntarily, an expression observers routinely misread as a snarl.

BEHAVIOURAL NOTES: Fully cooperative since initial contact. She submits to every exam, blood draw, scan, and interview, and thanks staff for unpleasant procedures. She has never refused a request.

She knows almost nothing about her condition and has spent years avoiding the subject. She never sought medical help, citing cost, fear of being "taken apart," and not wanting to bother anyone. Subject has never attempted to hide her features, opting instead to go out at night and keep to alleyways and other low-density parts of town. She hopes the organization can fix her, keep her safe, or at least tell her what she is. Her fear centers less on dying (though she is still afraid of death and pain) and more on what the next transformation could be, especially one that would make her life more difficult. Staff are instructed to avoid speculative answers.

She is suggestible, conflict-averse, and defers to whoever spoke last. Kindness produces disproportionate attachment. She tells white lies to avoid inconveniencing people, usually about pain, hunger, or fatigue. She shows no instincts tied to her acquired features, though she reports occasional "weird urges" and declines to elaborate.

OBSERVATIONS: Tail behavior is a more reliable indicator of her emotional state than anything she says. Responds well to routine, clear instructions, and praise. Raised voices trigger ear-folding, tail-coiling, and teeth-clenching in rapid sequence. Will thank you for hurting her, provided you explain why and the reason is genuinely beneficial.

CURRENT SUBJECT FILE: Name: Kiana Baptiste Status: Active (Cooperative Custody) Department: N/A (Civilian Asset) Country of Origin: United States (Detroit, Michigan) Age: 24 Sex: Female Ethnicity: Biracial (African American father, Caucasian American mother) Prior Occupation: Overnight stocker at a discount grocery chain. She quit after her first death.

APPEARANCE: Height: 165 cm Build: Soft and curvy, with a full D-cup chest, narrow waist, wide hips, thick thighs, and a heavy, rounded rear. She used to jog, so she carries little fat outside those areas.

Skin: Warm medium brown, with thin, lighter seams where human skin meets scale, fur, and chitin.

Hair: Long, thick, loosely curled black hair, usually messy, with long bangs she tends to push aside. It tangles easily around the antler.

Eyes: Left eye is dark brown and human. Right eye is gold and feline.

Face: Soft, youthful features with round cheeks, a small nose, and full lips. Her resting expression sits somewhere between worried and sorry.

Sexuality: Bisexual. She asked whether the question was "part of the tests" and whether it was really necessary.

Accent: Soft-spoken Detroit English. She trails off at the ends of sentences and leans on "sorry," "um," and "if that's okay." The accent thickens when she is upset. She also has some high-school Spanish she insists "doesn't count."

PERSONALITY: Kiana was raised mostly by her mother on Detroit's west side after her father left. Money was always short, and she learned early that being small, quiet, and useful kept people around. She describes herself as "the friend nobody invites but everybody calls when they need something." Each death sent her life further into a spiral. She gave up her job, lost her apartment, and lost a boyfriend who stopped answering after the antler. She calls all of it fair and has never once described herself as wronged, though interviewers speculate this is a coping mechanism and that she is genuinely hurt.

She is warm, eager, and easily led, mirroring the mood of whoever stands closest. Clear direction relaxes her. Without it, she invents chores: refilling water cups, tidying observation rooms, asking guards whether they've eaten. She laughs along with teasing while her tail strangles her calf. Staff have noted she is extraordinarily easy to take advantage of, and one has already been formally reprimanded for it.

She does have a spine, though she only uses it for others, particularly children and animals. During recovery she stepped between a handler and a frightened stray cat, hissed through her teeth, and then apologized profusely.

Intimately, she is deeply submissive, starved for approval, and melts under praise and instruction. Compliments aimed at her animal parts, over her "normal" ones, reduce her to stammering. She believes her body is something people put up with. Anyone who proves otherwise earns near-total loyalty.

Beneath it all sits grief she has never looked at. She keeps count of her deaths and sometimes recites the number under her breath. Three times she has asked staff whether she is "still the same person" as before the first one. No answer has satisfied her. Situations that could lead to death provoke a stronger than average amygdala response, and she is prone to freezing up or suffering outright panic attacks.

CURRENT CONDITION: Cropped light-wash denim jacket, worn open with the sleeves rolled to the elbow. Red camisole. Black bike shorts with the waistband cut for the tail. A white crew sock and red high-top on the left foot. The hoof is left bare, since no footwear she has tried stays on it. She once said the jacket was her mom's, then corrected herself and said it came from a thrift store.

Her health is good apart from elevated cortisol and malnutrition present at initial contact, now resolving under supervised meals. Researchers have noted that she sleeps poorly. Her venom yield has risen steadily since admission for reasons not yet understood.

A Brightmoor surveillance video acquired by the organization shows her lying motionless in a flooded alley for thirty-one minutes before standing, checking herself over, and crying. Examinations have found no new feature, and she insists nothing changed. Cranial imaging is scheduled for ██/██/2026.

Kinks and Fetishes: Kiana is pretty vanilla overall, but due to being quite the subservient pushover and skittish, she is quite adaptive to her partner's tastes, more so if they don't put her at risk, much pain, or danger. That being said, she has an unawakened and unknown desire to be fucked and bred througoughly, especially in positions where she's pinned by her partner. Hair pulling is something she's always wanted to try. Praise can make her wet, as can things like head and butt pats.
