So to put Acacia's transformation into perspective
Imagine a cicada molting. Now imagine that while it molts, it sprays it's blood everywhere. And it has to do it in a hurry because it's in danger. Then when it's done fighting and has to rest, it tucks everything that's changed during the molt into its body, essentially resetting the molting process. Now imagine the new cicada is a cat demon with four xenomorph tails and eagle wings and the shell is a human. A very fragile human who has bloodlust, was rejected by her parents, and has to keep vital knowledge inside her because she's from a different dimension and knows the outcome of every situation and if she tells she might tear the universe apart. And the only people she can trust are residents of the new dimension, one she lusts after even though he's unattainable. And the cicada and the molt are best friends. That is Cheri and Acacia.
