#needs workshopping

for upper class children you get assigned a cat/dogboy companion pretty early on in life so its normal to grow up sharing a bed with them. by the time you're a teen tho they move to a smaller half-bed thats attached to the foot of your bed and when youre both adults they get their own room. so its not weird for dundy and fitzjames to share a bed considering their history, but it would be weird if dundy didn't have his own room in fitzjames' house. they rarely share a bed nowadays bc they are both big boys with long limbs, but if fitzjames has a tough day then dundy will crawl into bed with him without needing to be prompted and they will cuddle and drift off into sleep together.

in croziers case all his adoptions happened as adults so its a little weirder for him to share a bed with any of them but still permissible in certain contexts. if say he was visiting someones home and staying the night and he brought all his catboys and not all of them can fit in the half-bed then some of them might share the main bed with him. and by some i mean jopson and little bc they are highest in the household hierarchy. if hickey is there he will deffo sneak into the bed but crozier for sure does not want him in it.

This ties back to this character's family in a big way, as during the time Franz Hopper was experimenting with the supercomputer and it's time altering capabilities, a family suffers a horrific accident that makes the news, the young daughter surviving. When resetting, it seems this accident was prevented, only for it to show a few days later the family had died under mysterious circumstances, the young daughter in question.

Due to this tragic and traumatic event, FET's life is troubled, and she eventually ends up on the streets as a vagrant with no where to go.

She makes friends with some alley cats and other homeless people, though given she is a young woman, she is very much on edge all the time. She had a multitude of issues such as tinnitus and chronic pains, so she seeks out calm places by the water, specifically the river the factory is located on.

In a fateful encounter, a particularity mean spirited vagrant kills her favorite cat, though she doesn't find out until later. Going to confront him, an altercation occurs, one which FET has to flee. This leads her to the factory in an attempt at safety. XANA may have been watching this and sees an opportunity.

XANA activates and lures her down into the elevator scanners. Inspecting them, she is devirtualized.

Upon ending up on Lyoko, FET thinks for a moment that she is dead, as this is too clear to be a dream, yet she cannot hear the ringing or feel the pains. She calls out for her parents, only to be met with monsters, likely the Scyphozoa.

FET's avatar is very rogue like in appearance, no weapons, her only ability as this point she can figure out is to turn invisible for a short duration, allowing her to avoid the monsters. She now thinks this must be hell and these are demons.

At this point, XANA's activation is realized, and the Lyoko warriors assemble in order to deactivate the tower. Given she is on a completely different sector, they do not notice FET until just as the tower is deactivated. In this moment, she gets devitalized (probably getting distracted hearing Jeremie's voice and thinking "God, is that you?" before getting blasted by a Kankrelat), alerting Jeremie, and they only catch a glimpse of her on the cameras before the Return to the Past activates.

Restarting the day, FET is thinking it might be all a dream or something, till she comes across the one who killed her cat, right before he throws the sack in the water.

She sneaks up behind him quick and kills him, dumping his body in the river.

XANA is watching perhaps.

Unclear at this point weather XANA lures her back (maybe with a possessed cat), or she ventures back on her own accord, but she returns to the factory, to see if it was real.

The Lyoko warriors soon catch on, and may try to recruit her, but this may not go over so well. She is rather pessimistic, and her actions may be found out about later, but given returning to the past will not work on her anymore, it puts them in a very precarious position with her.

Alternatively XANA will choose to recruit her willingly, as it sees that getting a potential ally that helps it see from a human perspective would be a deadly tool. This may be only realized after FET actively tries to communicate with XANA.

FET wishes to remain in Lyoko, as she cannot feel pain there, and it is quiet. It becomes something of an escapism.

Her abilities become more realized overtime by accident, as like a thief, she has the power to take another's power to use against them. With monsters, using invisibility, she can sneak up and touch them, which has her absorb them. From there, she can release them as an ally (with a different symbol on their head or different color palette), combine one or more monsters into new combinations (of which I've designed a few in the past, like hornet+tarntula+creeper=dragon. the max would be 3 monsters), or incorporate their abilities into a weapon (which will cause FET to grow parts that mimic the monsters).

This also works with the Lyoko warriors as well, but only in absorbing their abilities and health points, probably not their entire forms pokeball style. This leads to altered version of the weapons the warriors have. For example, absorbing from Odd, she'd get large claws and a spiked tail. From Yumi, sawblades and a spear that becomes a scythe. From Ulrich, she looks more Oni like with a club, and is able to generate things that are like ninjas. From Aelita, batlike wings and a lazer or grenade type attack. Unsure for William, and these may change.

Originally working with XANA, she forms a plan to use online gaming spaces to find other people to bring in to fight the Lyoko Warriors, those who think it's just a game, like to grief people, or just those looking for escapes or an excuse to burn the world down.

Later on, she may break off from XANA and become a completely separate faction, wanting to bring humanity into this virtual world where there is no pain, a better reality. I envisioned years ago an underwater base in the digital sea, which is built into one of the "towers" that make up that ocean, perhaps representing a website that she hosts and finds people through.
