Meet Clara Acyn, an extrovertyed cheetah in Romero, Georgia, the city best known for the Dead Gene.
To explain, the Dead Gene is a genetic quirk that activated upon a violent, sudden death, preserving the brain and fixing the body up for a week before the person with said genetic quirk is brought back to life as what is colloquially known as a "zombie," despite such things as not rotting, not needing to eat the flesh of the living, and not being under the control of any houdou practicioners, but rather not being subject to all the biological needs of the living and being clinically dead.
As you might notice, Clara is held together by stitches. there was a rather dire explosion at a summer festival a couple of years back, so yeah she is somewhat in pieces. She also needs to re-sew those stitched once a week to avoid falling apart. However, she can be a fun sort, and you can probably get a chance to see her at a local club having fun on the dance floor.
