Profile
Mousse was an apprentice baker in Londinium, Victoria when she became infected with Oripathy. Her parents sent her to Rhodes Island for treatment.
At her request, Mousse was recruited as an Operator following psychological counseling and a battery of tests. Now a regular logistics staff member, she provides combat support.
Clinical Analysis
Imaging tests for this Operator showed blurry outlines of internal organs with visible dark spots. Unusually high concentrations of Originium particles were present in her circulatory system, indicating infection and confirming her as Infected at this stage.
[Cell-Originium Assimilation] 15%
Operator Mousse displays ore lesions and other side effects indicative of Oripathy on her right arm.
[Blood Originium-Crystal Density] 0.4u/L
The Operator has been infected for a long time, with considerable effects on her overall health.
Archive File 1
Operator Mousse was born to a large, affluent family in Londinium, Victoria. Among her many family members and siblings, she never stood out. Her older brothers and sisters had already found their way into the leadership of major corporations, military forces, or Arts research, while Mousse never showed any promise in Originium manipulation or finance, the family's traditional trade. Despite that, her parents didn't love her any less and supported her the best they could. Though frankly, the family didn't have very high hopes for her.
In Victorian society, carousing wealthy socialites are the norm, but that just wasn't Mousse.
Archive File 2
Before the Originium panic hit Victoria, the tension in Londinium was already high. Mousse went to work for a bakery called 'Valerie,' specializing in baking cakes, bread, and afternoon tea snacks.
Mousse could not recall how she got infected, only that when her hands started mutating, her family quickly hid her in an isolated garden. This lonely, painful time was when she met the creatures she came to call 'kitties.' The 'kitties' weren't infected and were her only friends.
A half-year later, her family contacted Rhodes Island and a few Operators came to the garden for a thorough exam on Mousse. Once the family agreed to pay the appropriate fees for RI Pharmaceuticals to take her in, she was moved to Rhodes Island for treatment.

As for the creatures Operator Mousse dubbed 'kitties,' we have confirmed that they do not pose... imminent danger to Rhodes Island.
All speculation regarding these animals has proved to be groundless. They really are ordinary creatures. When Mousse is not around to supervise them, they roam Rhodes Island, climb up to high places and look down on things below. They seem to leave footprints in the corridor, deliberately announcing their presence with their elegant paws. They have fur and parts matching those of a normal animal, with biological functions to match, as Operators who come across their droppings could attest--and a problem eventually solved with dedicated effort from Mousse, Jessica, Provence and several others.
Mousse has apologized for the trouble... with a sad expression reminiscent of her pets. Given her sincere apology and her promise to train the 'kitties,' such transgressions have been expunged from her official record.

Module record
'So, Mousse, turns out the kitty paw prints really did lead me to your hiding spot.'
'Haze? I wasn't trying to hide. It's just that lately my hands have been...'
'C'mon, don't be shy now; I wasn't talking about your hands. I meant these.'
Before Mousse realizes it, a half-knitted pair of fingerless gloves has appeared on Haze's hands.
'Paw pad gloves, hm? Bit of a fashion statement, don't you think? Especially for you. Oh, but don't get me wrong, they look cute on you. You gonna wear them to field training?'
Mousse hesitates, gauging Haze's reaction. Seeing the genuine approval on her face, she nods.
'I heard that field training involves a lot of hands-on exercises where they call up the operators to demonstrate. There's no way I'd be able to hide my hands. So I thought, instead of keeping them hidden behind my back, I should make them look less intimidating. See, uh, with these soft, fluffy gloves, they don't look nearly as scary.'
'...You still hate your hands that much, huh. Guess I was right to bring this then. Take your time reading it. Later.'
'This is, huh?! Haze, you brought me a battle report? And now you're just walking away?'
The report Haze brought details a combat mission Mousse had been assigned to. The vehicle she was riding in was ambushed and set ablaze. All the operators inside were trapped behind a jammed door, unable to escape. With no time to think, Mousse used her mutated hands to tear an opening, allowing everyone to get out safely. Because of that, she had been encouraged to apply for field operator training.
Mousse looks at the combat report again. At first, she can't help but look at her 'terrifying' hands. However, her focus gradually shifts to the operators in the vehicle. She thinks about how they worked together and how she had felt at that moment, so overwhelmed she had nearly cried. She looks down at her hands, lost in thought.
'Welcome, everyone, to basic field operator training. First, let's meet our newest recruit. Mousse, come up and introduce yourself!'
Mousse hesitantly steps onto the stage, keeping her hands behind her back as she looks out at the other operators.
'Hello... everyone.'
She takes a deep breath, then slowly raises her hands in greeting. All eyes turn to her hands, and the gloves she's wearing. The gloves look fluffy, but her sharp black claws, meticulously polished, are peeking out of them, even more prominent than before.
'I hope my hands can become a force that protects everyone.' Her voice is quiet, but firm.

I'm not as weird as I thought?
