Subject: #9352
Case Study Alias: "Sonore"
Status of Runes: Invoked
Observations & Notes:

Much like her mother Subject #5973 [Nu Wa], Subject #9352 is easily excited, and also seems to enjoy cheering up those around her, often gifting knickknacks. While observing the subject's natural habitat, our researchers found that she rarely left her quarters, and could most commonly be found sorting through her belongings. When anyone attempted to approach her during this routine, she would hiss out a warning cry. The message was loud and clear. She is very protective of her hoard! However, it must be noted that she means well and is generally friendly with visitors.

It took a long time to discover how she collected things. No one had see her in action, and our hypothesis was that she dug underground passageways to travel. However, after a long period of observation, we are proud to report that we have finally discovered her ability.

The subject uses a form of echolocation to identify items, indoors and outdoors. When in dark caves, she would squeak in a staccato, and there would be small dings -- like the sound of a soft bell -- that seemingly indicated interesting items. Her scavenging method differed when outdoors, however. When she squeaked, various objects of note would emanate a glow, cuing her to gather anything in sight. It is unknown if the subject has any plans to build anything, but we would recommend further study and observation as it is yet a mystery why, among her massive collection, she has a set of valve handles.
