I doubt they were naturally born - humans aren't cool enough to be able to get pregnant by a "biblical angel" - so it seems to me that Plant cells are planted into human embryos, and those mutate into a hybrid creature. Similar happened to Legato in old anime (his power, which is never explained in Maximum, in old anime was a result of implanting Vash's severed arm), and in new one both of Elendira's eyes are different color and the blue of them may belong Tesla because only it has Plant eyelashes (especially since earlier Dr. Konrad reacted strangely to the similar looking eye, spliced with Nai's angelic claws).

And the following questions arise:

1) For Plants, the main part of their body and, maybe, where their consciousness is contained, is a metaphysical core in another dimension (it is interesting, by the way, that even the half-decayed physical body of Tesla found by the twins was listed as "Alive" in the spacecraft system. I think Plants are able to leave their mutilated or dead bodies and move into new ones - it would be logical; why does Tesla keep a connection with hers?). So with which core hybrids are connected: their own somehow created, a core of the Plant with whom they were spliced, or have no core at all and their body functions with human mind? If there is no core, where do they get the power for angelic weapons?

2) Can they communicate telepathically with the Plants and each other?

3) How much weaker or stronger a hybrid compared to Independent?

4) Can they merge into one being, like sisters with Nai in manga?

5) Why hybrid infants looks nothing like Independents, humans, sisters and Elendira?
