I'll just cut to the chase, this is just an idea I threw together in my mind for a Marble Pie-type character, Mia.
She's a quiet mink child who joins Z.O.O. (abbreviation N/A, open to names), a group of down-on-their-luck animals with enhancements given to them by a steampunk society of rats (Kyle's birthplace); her enhancement being invisibility.
The reason she joined was to obtain "perfection" in every aspect, due to her strict foster parents wanting her to be as perfect as her treasured fur. After discovering they plot to just take her fur and be done with it, she ran away and joined Z.O.O., hoping to be a mink worthy loving.
Like Marble, she's shy, doesn't talk much, has her hair cover an eye, mostly keeps to herself, but is still flippin' adorkable. Again, just something I threw together. I'm open to any ideas to make this better.
You have done marvelous job with blending the dark and whimsy.
Have you written a short with her in it yet? I find that's good way to organically feel the character out without being so rigid.

Nope, that's all I got. I plan on her being in a future sequel with Kyle. A potential love interest.
Maybe Z.O.O stands for Zealous Organisation of Orphans? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I don't know, that was just the first thing that popped into my head. Mia seems like a sweet little character though.

Lol, at the moment, I have Order of Oddities, but I'm stuck on the "Z" part, XD

Well, "zealous" usually means highly devoted to or enthusiastic about something, so maybe they're zealous about the rats who give them their enhancements. Alternatively, they could be zany - comical or eccentric - but I personally feel like "zealous" would work best unless there's another more suitable adjective beginning with Z. Where's the dictionary gone?

Lol, it could work unless another word came in
