[Standalone AU] Thunderstruck
Originating from my privately abandoned Change of Mind AU comes a oddly fearless and feisty Paisley I kept in my vault of ideas...
Once determined to carve a parking lot into the african savannah during a thunderstorm, instead of Team Tortuga, mother nature came in to punish her and her team. Therefore, Paisley was stuck by lightning. Once Team Tortuga got to Paisley's spot, they could reanimate her and treat her heavy burns. Somehow, she turned out to be alive as the lightning passed through her without striking the heart. The only casualties were burned patches of skin and her right eye turned blind.
Paisley was gone for a year to recover from the damage of the incident, getting special shoes to cool the burned skin tissue from Zach Varmitech and a new outfit from Donita Donata. During the recovery she ordered Rex to leave, since he kept trying to help her, which she felt offended by, telling him that she doesn't need to be "pandered to by a tall man just because she's small and fragile."
Paisley surely gained confidence after being a rare survivor of a lightning strike. Sometimes though, she felt that Rex should have been struck, especially thinking about how the lightning chose her, the tiny little person over the lanky assistant that stood next to her while it happened - possibly the true reason why she discarded him, sparing him of further secretive jealousy of hers towards him. This change of self made her disband Paisley's Paving Services since she feared to be the casualty in another natural force strike and seek Donita for guidance on how she should go on. While with her, she finally was enlightened.
Well, what was her future gonna hold? Unbelivabely, during a Donita fashion show that was supposed to be guarded by Zach and his Bots, she discovered her protective and guarding skills. Zach did a horrible job at keeping protestors of Dontias (un)ethic animal fashion at bay and Paisley managed to be the one to prevent a fashion disaster. All while using something that was similar to her fear: a tazer. Sure, you don't want to be reminded by the worst time in your life, but somehow she overcame the trauma by using high voltage to her advantage.
Donita offered Paisley to work alongside her until she would find footing on her own again. She agreed and now serves as Donitas' official bodyguard. The Wild Kratts haven't got to Paisley yet, but they will surely be shocked once they do.
((I hope you enjoyed this standalone AU character, I might elaborate on her more if you want to! It's at least something while the Pilot AU is cooking... which will take some more since I broke my dominant hand :') So I hope you can make some of this old AU Character I had in my vault))
