About Me



Communicates with and is aided by insects of all kinds; trains small animals to assist her; can intuit by touch how any object was created; turns trash into treasure and reshapes rubbish into robots.

Because she lives in a pile of junk, she sometimes has trouble finding the cool gadgets she has made. Her insect friends can be unreliable when "primal needs" arise. She wears gloves to conceal the fact that her hands sweat. Alot.

Self-doubt in any form. She wants people to be proud of who they are, no matter how odd or different they are perceived to be.

"Is the trash gonna have to take YOU out?" and "Looks like it's gonna get messy!"
