When the sirens sound, you'll hide under the floor But I'm not gonna go down with my hometown in a tornado I'm gonna chase it, I know

Some Chimera!Cyn sketches for the Furry!AU, I wasn't quite happy with her initial design, it was too clunky, too... different from her Civet design & I wanted to play into the trope that trauma leaves it's marks on someone, and as much as you heal, there's always a part that remains. Wether that's good or bad is for the individual to decide and a decision that is not easily made, ever.

Cyn experienced a lot of trauma of being the Solver's puppet, especially since it technically sat in her brain, like trauma does for a lot of us, being right there and steering actions & words. Physically changing for and through the Solver took a great toll on her and despite months passing, she's not quite back.

The Solver's transformation left her so different from her old self, all and nothing at once, mismatched proportions, wings and horns that are not her own, hair discolored thanks to parts of Tessa still being with her. It's hard for her and hard for the people around, but it doesn't get easier when Cyn senses that they still kind of long for the 'old Cyn', the shy and reclusive Civet woman they've met before, they spent their time with.

But she'll never come back, she's not there anymore, and they all have to arrange themselves with that.

The Absolute Solver in this iteration of the canon story was more akin of a "rabies" infection the humans had 'accidentally' created in a labratory while researching fatal mutations of common diseases found in animals (CWD, rabies, etc.).

Working in the labs and quite curious about this strange strain of virus, Tessa Elliott, the daughter of the lab's owner and a scientist working under her fathers orders secretly took the mutated sample home in hopes to find a solution on her own. Accidentally coming in contact with it due to this, one of the housemaids, Cyn, infects herself with the strain.

Plagued by nightmares in which a creepy hyena-looking being (seemingly trying to imitate her... and failing miserably) haunts her, whispering promises it'll keep. Infected by a terminal disease, Cyn threatens to succumb to it - but the Solver itself promises her to be cured if she allows it to take over her body after she dies.

Desperately, she agrees - and finds herself incapable of taking back the deal as her body after death is resurrected once new, with the Solver using her as attempt to create the perfect 'speciesman' to wipe out all of the "inferior" creatures on the planet. As it slowly mutated her body into a chimera-looking being Cyn can only desperatly cling to the last piece of herself she still has - her soul.

'Cause I'm not trapped with you, you see You're the one who's trapped with me

Chimera!Cyn for the MD Furry AU B) In this story she actively fights back against the Absolute Solver in the finale instead of succumbing to it or letting herself be killed by Uzi and the others. She challenges the Beast and actually kills it, risking her own life in the meantime.
