Gotta love the hyperempathy my autism gives me.
I'm over here getting attached to an OC I made as a child of two of another person's OCs. Like, how does that happen?

I place a drone with a child's body, wavy blonde hair, and purple eyelights outside of Tera's door. Then, I leave, and they knock.
(Surely this won't go bad, right? Hehe, I'm bout to bring Hell on Earth)
She opens the door, looking confused at the child that A. Somehow got in the house. And B. Looked suspiciously familiar.
"You okay kid? How'd you get in here?"
The drone looks up at Tera.
"I'm okay, Mom, don't worry."
She looks behind Tera at the room and tilts her head.
"Can I come in?"
"M-mom?" She blinks, more confused then anything else. "Hang on I think you've got the wrong drone, I ain't a mom."
She looks the drone up and down. "You can come in but...we gotta figure this out..."
She smiles cheerfully. "Thanks, Mom."
The drone runs into Tera's room and plopped down on her bed, humming while kicking her legs. "What are we figuring out?"
Tera blinks again, though this time it's a bit more frantic. "Okay. First question. How old are you?" She does that thing where someone places both hands over their mouth in a tent shape.
She tilts her head up and puts a finger on her cheek. "Hmmmm."
She grumbles in thought for a few seconds before looking at herself. "10?"
"Okay... so not an accidental kid I didn't know about... somehow..." Not that it was possible to begin with, but it was where her mind went first.
"And... your name?"
She gives a wide smile, showing very tiny fangs, and giggles as she answers. "Ana!"
"Okay, Ana. Where uh... where'd you come from?"
Tera glances at the fangs, feeling her core jump at the increasing series of 'things we have in common'. But refusing to panic juuuust yet.
"The oil pump." She giggles. "I got thirsty."
"Oh!" She suddenly remembers something. "I was gonna go the nursery to see Mama."
Speaking of her core, it just dropped into her stomach and went ice cold.
Adding 'Needs oil' to the piling list and holding her breath, she asked the dreaded question:
"A-and who's your other parent?"
She jumps up with a closed eye smile and giggles before speaking in a bubbly voice. "You're so silly Mom. Mama's name is Kiara!" She giggles again.
Aaaand that's when the panic slams into her full force, panic, embarrassment; a whole pallet of different emotions.
"R-right."
"Yeah of course it is."
Her tail twitches, and her eyes close, trying her best to reign in a scream or a stream of expletives.
"Why don't we go see her together then?"
She's cheerful at the suggestion and nods. "Sounds great."
So they go out through the house, thankfully nobody home to ask questions she didn't have the answers to. Past the oil pump and tantalizingly close to the clinic/nursery when they are unfortunately stopped by one Rad Hayes.
"Hey Ter! I was just- aww, who's this?" He leans down to look at Ana, 'Dang she looks like if you and K had a baby."
Tera twitches a little at his phrasing
"I'm Ana." She notices the twitch and looks up at Tera. "Are you okay, Mom?"
