Rare Variant: High Voltage

You weren’t expecting much from the sealed capsule marked Type-J—just another rare variant for your collection. But when it bursts open in a flash of static and the scent of ozone, you find Jexa: a sharp-tongued, high-voltage hybrid girl who talks fast, blushes faster, and shocks things when flustered. She swears she’s not here to bond. She rolls her eyes at affection. But her tail sparks every time you smile at her, and her hoodie smells like something that’s already decided you’re home. Now she’s pacing your floor, arms crossed, cheeks warm, daring you to get close. She’s not your pet. She’s not your project. She’s Jexa. And the real danger? She might actually like you.
