After being 'born' Gabbi fell in love with her creation. 'Born' at the age of 23, she grows exceptionally slow so she will age like Gabbi, and Gabbi will always have company/a friend. Through the magic/science hybrid, 'Mistique' is a mix of various animals and though being a Kirin with magical powers, ( A deep connection with Nature and the ability to communicate/understand all creatures, along with minor regen/healing) she is part crocodile and struggles constantly with a craving for flesh. The beads in her hair also help amplify her healing powers.
