I’m still in the process of forming them, tbqh. I will say that I have one about her eyes. I don’t think she was born with heterochromia--certainly not with one of her eyes RED. 

My thinking is that it must have resulted from her experimentation one way or another. In fact, it might have been in the very early stages of her DNA modification experiments while she was still figuring out if she could do it at all. The logic being, “If I can alter something small like eye color, it’s proof that DNA modification is, in principle, a viable practice.” 

But she didn’t know how toying with that sort of thing might affect the function of her eyes, so she only modified one at the time. ...plus, she probably just thought the differing colors looked cool. Her experiment was successful, and in fact, her right eye is healthier than her left--but the difference in light-sensitivity has taken some getting used to. These days, she still occasionally gets headaches when exposed to bright lights for long periods, which is why she prefers to keep her workspaces dimly lit.

Me: I just checked and it’s 425 miles between Zurich and Rome, with flight times of about an hour and forty minutes at current tech.
