‧₊˚ ⋅Heidi Marina was a graphic design student about to graduate. She had to write a thesis, and the university assigned her to the best professor in the city: Victor.🧪
Heidi was very shy and reserved, limited to what Victor asked of her or taught her, but her curiosity for science and Vic's passion sparked her interest. 𐔌՞. .՞𐦯
It wasn't until one day that Victor invited her to participate in an ambitious research project that Heidi accepted, trusting the scientist implicitly. Grave Mistake ( ˶°ㅁ°) !!
Combining raccoon DNA to create a superhuman didn't go quite as planned. Many things altered Heidi's appearance and personality, to the point that Victor and Toby (who was only checking on Heidi to prevent her from escaping or chewing through the cage's tubes) ended up renaming her Project HXX-EL, or by her new name, "Haze." 🦝✨
In a moment of carelessness, Haze escaped from her cage. Her raccoon nature caused chaos in Vic's lab as she searched for a way out, even knocking over a heavy container that nearly crushed her.
However, Toby arrived in time to move the container aside, but in the midst of the fear and confusion, Haze assumed Toby had saved her. She was taken back to her cage and offered no resistance. ❤️🩹
Seeing this, Victor was able to negotiate with her and take advantage of her crush to get her to join them.
Haze swore loyalty not to Victor, but to Toby, who saved her life.
She was reported missing, but Heidi no longer existed; now only Haze exists.🦴
Haze defends Victor and Toby (even though the latter is capable) with an almost animalistic instinct. She doesn't discern people's intentions (like heroes) if those people intend to harm her companions.
Haze lives freely in the shadows of Victor's lab, occasionally playing with Sunny and other times carefully observing what Toby does. (Although Toby clearly doesn't feel anything for her, not even the slightest bit XD)
Thanks to @palaxy2 for lending me her characters for this little AU, and I also thank her for giving me ideas to make it as accurate as possible :3
