- Dice
Thanks for the perspective - the way I'm envisioning it for her, she wouldn't define herself as human. She does, however, have the capacity of pretty human-like thoughts - and while others might embrace that as you wrote, she's reluctant at best. Complex thoughts come with a lot of doubts, fears, responsibilities and the like - quite easily a burden if one could instead just be a simple bird and not give a damn. That's one of the inner conflicts I'm looking at for her - that a humanoid mind is not always a blessing, but sometimes a curse as well.Just to provide a viewpoint - by and large, the Mutanimals do not see themselves as human. This is in large part because they are outside of human society and are treated so very differently, often feared on sight! Mutant animals have a wide array of perspectives on this subject - some like having anthropomorphic bodies and that's where their link to humankind ends. Others love having opposable digits, the gifts of language and learning, often powerful bodies, and most of all - a brain of the likes they did not imagine even existed when they were animals!
