STORY OF THE DATURAS

The year is 1965, Urchin Datura is born into a small family, being an only child to her parents. As a child she was extremely fond of puppets but faced constant disapproval from her mother, her father didn't seem to care at all. While in school she made no attempts to befriend people and put all of her energy in studying and being the best, which later earned her a good job at a laboratory in 1990. 

Urchin has now worked at the lab for 5 years and seems to be getting bored with it, tho she learned a lot about the soul and magic life sources which have always peeked her attention. This is when she starts doing her personal projects of making artificial life, and succeeded in 1996 with Clay, a small sentient lump of gray earth clay. She kept experimenting on him until she caused a chemical imbalance and he became a depressed man living in her basement, oh well! 

Its 1999! Urchin is getting really into reading Frankenstein, and has newfound inspiration! She has gotten her hands on some body parts from 2 to 4 different individuals, and puts together Völundur. After a few minutes she regrets it and puts him in the closet, hoping to just forget about it. Later she founds said closet wide open and freaks out, turns out Völundur has sneaked into the forest. Hours of searching she finds him and with enough persuading she manages to get him back into the closet and locks it this time. 

Deeply hoping nobody has found out about her projects, her worries are soon proven right when Pom, a gardener interested in mysteries and the unknown confronts her about it on one of her walks. Shit. She has now drowned somebody and her paranoia skyrockets, this is when both her physical and mental health start to deteriorate. In response to all of this she makes Holo in 2001, a robot with a monsters soul, he is now her body guard! She feels a bit safer now, and goes back to her projects. No matter how hard she tried her newer creations kept on dying, leaving the task of burying them to Holo and sometimes Clay (if he ever came out of the basement). Some creations of note are Gusher and Toffee, rip little guys.

New Years Eve of 2004 her paranoia is at a high point, and is convinced Holo is doing a bad job at keeping her safe and wants to update and fix him. Feeling impatient and rushed she decides to do her tinkering in the kitchen, with kitchen ware! What a great idea, because she pushed a few wrong buttons, unscrewed some screws, cut some important wires and uh oh uh oh Holos gone gaga kill mode! Luckily for Urchin the sound of her hitting Holo with pots and pans did not raise suspicion to her neighbors but caught Clays attention. With some of her great persuading and manipulation skills she gets Clay to smash Holos head in, succeeding with shutting him off, but is left inside of a cardboard box to collect dust until further notice. Clay becomes more of a shut in after this. 

Its been 3-4 years now, Urchin has lost her job at the laboratory after they found out she had been stealing supplies. Shes not really sure what to do with herself, but sure does miss having a robot around to do her biddings, so she makes Chip! This time she made sure that it would never try to kill her,and even programmed Chip to love her unconditionally. Pure robotics is definitely not her strong suit, for Chip regularly breaks and even breaks themselves, unlike Holo who only ever broke once. Talk about Holo... Clay rediscovers him in one of the cardboard boxes in the basement and brings him up. Urchin thinks this is great, giving her a bit of a boost in her confidence and puts him back together, this time with NO screw ups! Chip has someone to look up to now, but man how upset they got when they found out they were not Urchins first robot.
