But of course, and unsurprisingly, only non-human children.

This is commonly seen with the rat pups and her beast’s mother hen personality. Anything remotely creature like she’ll likely adopt. Anything human looking is a hit or miss — elves, dwarves, etc.

Here’s the sad fact — it’s because she’s always wanted to be a mother but can’t be one. Not only is her curse and body so fucked up from dying nine damn times and relentlessly decaying as soon as being resurrected, but those ailments ended up making her infertile. So naturally, she’s adopting other children to fill that void. Due to how unpredictably chaotic her life is, she wouldn’t want to nurse a child either. It’s way too dangerous for the life she lives.

She’d still be a great mother though. Despite lacking a vast majority of her knowledge on bardic magic, she can still sing and perform basic spells. Lullabies are her favorite genre. She’ll sometimes sing to whatever pups are left alive in Clan Fester’s nursery whenever she visits. It’s almost muscle memory to do so.
