#genetics!

She is a Hybrid of an Asian Red and a Muffet Bitty, but her appearance looks like she’s leaning a bit closer to a Western Edge doesn’t it? Instead of a noddle-body of an Asian Red.

I’ve found out something very interesting about the dragon-Bitty genetics.

Apparently, Asian Reds and Western Edges have the genetic capability to become EITHER of their dragon species upon hatching from the egg- similar to the X Y chromosome’s in humans, I guess.

They can also carry characteristics of the other type in their appearance as well!

They seem to decide which body-type they’ll be about a week or so before hatching from their eggs, either as an Asian Red or a Western Edge, predominantly.

My belief is the Asian Red lineage of Tia’s parentage allowed her to genetically choose Western Edge appearances (obviously minus wings, but I am fully expecting fire and webs in some combination....)

Also, for those who didn’t know, the egg that hatched the same day as her was the Riolu egg that our resident visitor, BiBi the Celebi, brought in!

And yes they see each other as siblings~

One factor that helped align everything for Yugi to be reincarnated was that he already had fae in his blood, even if Oberon wasn’t his father. His grandmother had changeling blood in her veins, as one of her parents or grandparents was a summer court changeling that went to the human world and didn’t go back. 

Yugi was really close to his grandma before she passed when he was ten. She taught him to garden, having him help her water the flower boxes outside the windows. She also subtly had dream-like magic as well. Not as potent as Yugi, but often had minor visions in her dreams and could always lull just about anyone to sleep. She always chased his nightmares away.

I don’t know how many there were in the mix, or how many generations back it comes from, but I guess the blood passed on. And it was really strong blood. My uh... “peculiar” eyes are just a giveaway of that.

In hindsight, I never made anything out of it back then, but I guess my dad had eyes like this too...

((Slowly but surely, eh?

If you don’t fully understand it, what he’s implying is that there isn’t any known non-pony ancestor as far as he can track back (father, grandfather, great grandfather) so the “genetic mix” must have happened quite a long time ago. But the traits are strong enough to still be evident up to this generation.

Still plenty more to this whole deal, of course.
