Hindrances
- Dependency (Major): Needs 4+ hours of sunlight or bare soil contact daily; without it, her body starts cannibalizing itself to feed the colony.
- Suspicious (Minor): The plant-mind feeds her threat assessments she can't separate from instinct - anyone near her greenery reads as a potential herbicide applicator.
- Habit (Minor): Compulsively digs fingers into nearby soil mid-conversation, zoning out. Her hands are never clean.

Backstory
Mariana Reyes took NovaBio's soil-trial gig because rent was due and they offered triple minimum wage. The kudzu-mycorrhiza hybrid wasn't supposed to bond with human tissue. Three weeks in isolation later, she walked out - still owing that rent, now carrying something that whispers. The colony nudges her toward goals she only half-understands.
Appearance
Chlorophyll fractures her brown skin in vein-patterns up her neck. Pale filaments thread her hair, shedding faint spores in dim light. Bare feet, perpetually dirt-caked hands.
