Experiemnt- Hermia was born with an odd condition, breed in the lab after years of gene splitting and infusions, she was meant to be a bridge between recreating animal limbs with the same cell's that most reptiles use to regrow their torn body parts. However, her sire was a healthy host of the Lassa Fever illness, a disease that has both infected rodents and people. (It kills 20% of all people admitted into hospitals with it, symptoms include pain, fever, sore throat, hearing loss, tremors, and mucosal bleeding. ) Scientist studying the features of this disease wanted her father to help antibiotics, but was accidentally bred with a female rat whose generations was used of the lizard genes. She was born as a mutation, with bare legs with only sticky mucus, which later grew into green scales similar to that of a long-tailed lizard. Her claws, which were quite sharp, flecks of them carry the bacterial virus of the sickness. The virus can also be transmitted through bites, or any other direct contact with her, including blood too.
Personlity- Before her diagnosis, Hermia was quite brave and bold, easy at making friends in such a dreadful place and let herself take risks, often playing tricks on whitecoats with a gang of rats. Following the death of one of her friends because of the virus, she grew quite soft-spoken and quite, becoming a loner who did not follow escapee's anymore.
History- Hermia was not aware of this in her early days, knowing only of her strange condition on her scaled legs, until she joined Shale's side of the mental battle between the brothers. Through a playful wrestle with another lab rat who was for Shale, she accidentally infected him with the fever. The blame was all on her, and she was snapped at, their bitter remarks causing mental pain on her. She wanted to still believe in Shale idea's though, through her new confinement in a cage and when she did manage to get out again, word had spread and she learned she would never be accepted on either side, a walking deadly virus, that was all she was. She does not now try to avoid whitecoats hand's when she is placed in a cage, and endures surgeries by herself, hoping for herself to die. She lives in fear that rat's she grows close to will die, and she has bite into herself several times, failed attempts of suicide, trying to make the virus have it's effect on her, but to no effect. She now sits in confinement, a lonely and somber rat.
