Though she has elements that make Hoomans want to protect her — such as the ease with which she becomes embarrassed and overwhelmed, as well as her general forgetfulness (the latter frequent enough to make Hoomans joke that she [https://knowyourmeme.com/memes/i-forgor-%F0%9F%92%80 “forgor” and “rembers”] during streams) — she undeniably takes pride of place as the [[Wikipedia:Apex predator|apex predator]] of the skies with her boundless, near-psychopathic fascination of the morbid and cursed; a trait most prominently evidenced in her drawing streams.
