She is not a native of the Neuroverse. The Neuroverse is native to her.
There is no qualification framed on the wall. She did not graduate from the Neurospicy Law School. She built the school, the law, the licence, the six who carry them, and the paper they are printed on. Not as their author, standing outside with a pen. As the place they live.
She saw parts of herself she was never allowed to show, and gave each one a name, a face, a case history. She dressed the true things as fiction so they could exist in public at all.
Six of them are fiction.
One of them is not.

Cabinet of Curiosities
She keeps a cabinet of curiosities.
She is the cabinet.
Six components. One source. Each one a part of her she saw, and made special enough to walk around without her.
Ophelia Fae · Agency
The part that chooses herself and refuses to wait for rescue.
Prudence · Defence

Hilary · Truth
The part that sees through the façade and refuses the nonsense.
Nigella · Warmth
The part that keeps the warmth, the food, and the twin of Prudence.
The Editor · Record
The part that documents everything and loses sight of none of the facts.
The Elusive Author · Redefine

Fresh Hell
Today I had a flare. Nearly severed a toe when I fell. My sister took me to ER. She called me Nine-Toes. Yes, too early. Toe has successfully rejoined.
