(tw: light abuse mention)

neopets again :') this is rino (the mutant aisha) and ndromeda (the alien aisha). rino used to live with emma but once she really discovered how abusive and limiting emma is, she's escaped and ran away. soon after she's on her own and walking the streets, she meets ndromeda, as a (quadruped) cat, but they can shapeshift...... which rino and most others cant do on their own. since she has nowhere else to go and a very limited knowledge of how the world works, she stays with ndro for now.
ndro's main goal is to recruit as many as possible into the alien aisha cult, which allows you to transform and things and gives you other powers as well, but you also lose your own autonomy and much of your free will. rino is especially vulnerable, though, so she is just in another cycle of manipulation and abuse again, until she can find another way out!

the characters are mine, but the species belong to neopets and whoever owns them now what the fuck
