DRONE

She/her, they/them, it/its

This drone was swept off course by a storm when journeying between hives. Getting a head injury due to damage from the storm while being so far away from any consciousness caused her to lose connection to the hive mind. They were lost, confused, and stumbling around trying to adapt to individual thought when Malhair happened upon them and took them home to the Glitch Prowlers. She immediately latched onto Mal as the new replacement for her consciousness, tuning into her shade magic the way a normal drone would tune into the hive frequency (the connection is obviously weaker and Mal is unaware of it, but she has found that her new minion can anticipate her wants before even she realizes what she was thinking about). They are a little ditzy but gets laser-focused when given something to do. When she speaks she has zero volume control, but she doesn’t often talk and prefers to communicate with buzzing noises. Mal has nicknamed her BEE because of this. Connection to Mal's shade magics has caused her to become mutated by the shadetouch, growing fur, yellow plating, mandibles, and an extra set of wings. Fortunately these changes are not harmful to it in any way and allow her to better adapt for her new life.
