It's been many long years... but I finally have a solid reference for my OC Sona... Or at least her most humanoid shapeshifting form! I'm very excited to have finally narrowed down the details and have some visuals to show for it~
So meet V-V/OM.0813 ...or just Vivi.
Vivi is not simply a cow girl, but in truth an entity more like The Thing- a parasitic shapeshifting cell colony that seeks to acquire diverse genetic samples and propagate itself while keeping a low profile.
But that parasite might have gotten more than it bargained for infecting a genetically enhanced cow girl- and no one's quite certain which of the two organisms adapted and survived the ensuing struggle for dominance.
As the hunger intensifies, so too do her predatory aspects, beginning to shift into a form more suitable for the hunt...

More detailed lore below...
Variable-Valence/Omnimorphic Metacyte Type 08 Asset 13’s origins are poorly understood even by those still aware of her true nature. The farthest back her origin can be traced is to a research lab on the outskirts of town secretly developing genetic treatments for dairy cattle girls to improve their productivity and reproductive efficacy, but suffered a biohazard containment accident and remains a restricted area to this day.
In truth, even the researchers who survived creating Asset 13 are unsure exactly what went wrong aside from the negligence involved; The test that led to the accident involved both a highly unstable cowgirl genetic template candidate and an experimental black-box parasitic viral mutagen with a classified source, rumoured by some to be extraterrestrial, and others to be supernatural or demonic. This cross-contamination of highly volatile variables left a great deal of ambiguity in the final result: Did the cowgirl adapt to the cellular parasite and evolve, was it merely mimicking her perfectly, or had she become something new, not entirely one or the other?
Whatever the surviving scientists believe, Asset 13 left the ruins of the facility and quickly took on the name “Vivi”, beginning to live a compelling facsimile of a normal human life in the city, working odd jobs and selling her milk (and other fluids) to earn a living while building relationships and a thriving social life.
But even with such a vibrant and kind lifestyle, the Bioweapon still asserts herself in the shadows. To satisfy the predatory hunger within her flesh; her ever-shifting cellular makeup demands a regular intake of vivid sensory experiences and genetic data acquisition. Sex and breeding, blood and violence, gluttonous consumption and cannibalism, from animals and humans alike. Anything to let the beast free and gather more biological mass and evolutionary data to adapt and evolve further.
When the nights of passion end, she brings the spoils of her hunts back to an abandoned underground subway junction where her evolutionary nest resides, located not far from the apartment residence of her public persona. A tangled hive of pulsating flesh and meat composed of her own cells that grows and changes constantly, storing alternative bodies and captured prey within cocoons for later use.
Vivi lives life in this balance; striving to be kind and caring in her daily life and restraining her baser instincts from taking hold by softly indulging them in hidden moments here and there, or entrusting snippets of her true nature in private moments with her closest companions. All the while, she slowly builds her empire of flesh beneath the ground, growing more powerful with every conquest as she terrorizes the night.

Due to a recent accident in the labs, the boys downstairs have found a way to turn men into women. Amazing breakthrough, and we wish you all luck on your transition. And your job hunt. You’re all fired. Sorry boys, nothing against you. We just don’t need women around here trying to clean up the lab while the men are trying to do real work. Cave out.
