Davekat is this fucking kid who's ambition and desperation kind of intertwine. She is the biological daughter of Angélica, the self-absorbed aspiring dictator (hi read her bio also), but their relationship is anything but maternal. In her early years, Davekat lived with Angélica, but was ultimately abandoned when her mother chose to chase her dreams of power wow okay. Left in the care of Ranfre, a scientist who opposed Angélica's more extreme methods (tho she's still a supporter), Davekat grew up surrounded by research, experiments, and an ever-present sense of neglect. DESPITE being abandoned, Davekat has always been PAINFULLY aware of who her mother is. She CRAVES Angélica's approval, clinging to the hope that if she becomes useful enough (what) Angélica might finally love her back. This longing came to a head when Davekat overheard a tense meeting between Angélica and Ranfre when she was like 12 where they discussed building an army, with Angélica pushing for human experimentation and Ranfre firmly rejecting the idea bcs THATS NOT PROFESSIONAL NOR ETHICALLLLLLLLLLLL. Seeing this as her GOLDEN opportunity to earn her mother’s recognition Davekat burst into the conversation volunteering herself for the experiments. Without any other test subjects Davekat turned to the only person she could experiment on, herself!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! shes a fast learner by nature so she began modifying her own DNA, her knowledge sharpened by years of observing Ranfre’s work okay. when her initial experiments failed to catch Angélica's eye, she grew more and more desperate so she started diving deeper into increasingly more extreme methods and eventually, she became obsessed with nemertean worms (specifically Prostoma graecense which she saw as 'perfect beings'). Determined to mirror their biology, she altered her own genetic structure to match theirs. As a result, Davekat now has a proboscis she uses for eating and at times finds herself spontaneously growing extra limbs what. At first, she tried to hide these mutations by severing this extra limbs and burning or burying them but uhh this backfired when she discovered (by accident) that her severed limbs could develop and regenerate and just create clones, much like planarians. These clones are deformed, unconscious, and aggressive (tho their genetic code is the same as hers) which is now obviously an even bigger problem for her. Angélica has taken more interest in Davekat since these mutations, but not out of motherly love only because she sees potential in using her daughter as a weapon for her future army. Davekat still clings to the idea that her mother might one day genuinely care for her so she keeps making constant attempts to communicate with Angélica or spend time with her (attempts that are met with cold indifference hi) Through all of this, Ranfre remains a complicated figure in Davekat's life bc she acts as her guardian like she continuously warns her about the dangers of her experiments (not out of a desire to control her but to protect her okay) Davekat, however, often ignores these warnings, bcs shes too focused on impressing Angélica. STILL she acknowledges Ranfre’s concern and despite her reckless behavior genuinely cares about her in return. Their relationship is a push and pull between Ranfre’s cautious guidance and Davekat’s self-destructive uhhhh word behaiviours behaibibours how do u spell that fun fact shes a homestuck fan wow and she's also a yumeshipper what how yes she ships herself with kankri, this is not ocxcanon IT IS HERSELF SHIPPING HERSELF WITH A FICTIONAL CHARACTER THAT DOESNT EXIST IN HER WORLD!
