SOSTRATE

A drone with partial sentience, she can think for herself, and has her own goals, but she is confused and naïve as if reverted to a child upon assimilation. She continues to keep small creatures and has patches of fuzz, remnants of her honeytummy origins. When asked why she still tends to bees and flowers her response is a blank stare, as if those memories were lost to her. She may be caught with a sorrowful expression, as if struck by the realization that she has lost something. She rarely sees her brother but seems to still have a strong affection for him, despite the pain caused by seeing her in her state. Her honey has been infused with assimilation fluid, making it a sweet, painless alternative, for the trade off of never being capable of creating a true hive drone. She dislikes giving away her corrupted honey, but occasionally spares small portions. She has moments of clarity where she expresses great pain and madness, as if assimilation has driven her insane at a deep level of consciousness.
