Bonnie Orchard

Bonnie Orchard is a hybrid child that was created during a cloning experiment by Silph Co in an attempt to save the Ralts line from extinction. The experiment failed when Lily's blood was swapped into the gestation chamber and created a completely different creature.

## History

Lily and G were invited by Silph Co to take part in a demonstration of a new technology that would bypass breeding issues that were exacerbating the rapid-onset extinction of the Ralts line. At G's request, a blood sample was taken from Lily to test the compiler, and then given to G who asked to hold it. Taking a blood sample from G, the Silph Co scientists inserted it into a gestation chamber with the intent to rapidly grow an independent Ralts. However, at the last second G switched Lily's blood back into the gestation chamber and removed one of her own, which compiled Lily's previously scanned blood into the DNA as well, producing a hybrid child that horrified the audience and ruined the experiment. The scientists wanted to dispose of the failed experiment, but Lily almost immediately took to her and called her a "cryptid child." She asked the scientists if she could take her home. The scientists initially argued against it, until Lily asserted that since her DNA as used to make her, that meant she had a right to take her home as her de-facto parent. The scientists surrendered the child, keeping the vials of G's blood to continue their research.

Lily named her Bonnie and adopted her as her own child. Due to the fact that the accident that created her was recorded on CCTV, Lily was spared an invasive investigation into her conduct with G. The League eventually declared her Human after much deliberating, and had a birth certificate printed for her

## Physiology

At first glance, Bonnie appears to be a Kirlia with brown hair. Unlike a Kirlia, however, her horn is through her chest like a Gardevoir and she has heterochromia along with brown hair. She also has visible fangs when her mouth is closed, which opens to rows of sharp teeth. She also has insect-like mandibles when her mouth opens. She also appears to be wearing a multicolored turtleneck and a white skirt with no visible legs underneath.

For all intents and purposes, Lily raises her like a human child and Bonnie seems to grow as one without much difficulty. She learned to speak, albeit with minor impediments due to her teeth and mandibles, and the only aberrations to her diet being that she enjoys eating large bugs, like beetles and tarantulas, either on their own or cooked into food.

## Personality

Bonnie is extremely sociable and friendly, though she has inherited her mother's bluntness and tendency for getting into mischief. She seems to enjoy causing her mother grief and confusion through her weird and obscure pranks. Bonnie has a tendency to fixate on a new interest every week, in an almost inverse of "special interests" found in some children.

## Relationships

### Lily Orchard

Bonnie loves her mother, and clings to her when she can't play with friends. Lily often bribes her with bug-snacks in exchange for good behavior. Lily fawns over Bonnie and treats her like a miracle.

### Gardevoir

Bonnie sees G as one of her mothers, a belief which G has attempted to dissuade her from to no success. Bonnie is just as attached to G as she is to Lily, and frequently seeks her out for comfort.

## Trivia

* Bonnie was designed by Carousel Unique.
* Bonnie was intended for a single joke comic. However Orchard loved her design so much she seriously considered trying to find a way to make her canon.
* While Bonnie has mandibles, they are rarely shown within the comic.
* Bonnie's humorous antics draw upon Calvin and Hobbes, Phineas and Ferb and Llamas with Hats for inspiration.
