Fascinated by the practice of living tattoos--objects and creatures rendered on the skin and capable of being lifted from it into breathing, moving physicality of their own--but not allowed to get any herself, she developed living paints instead. If the swords and sparrows on her skin could be washed away, she reasoned, her parents couldn't possibly object. It turned out that water-soluble weaponry and aquaphobic avians caused a number of problems not normally associated with body art, but by then she had seized on the potential of her invention with both paint-daubed hands and refused to let go.
