==Medical History==
Aila is a clone, and is subject to ailments to which clones are susceptible. She is also Kriosian empathic metamorph who has been subjected to mental/emotional and genetic tampering. One procedure administered has resulted in the indefinite extension of her Finiis’ral – the condition that makes her able to imprint on whatever individual (or group) is being held up as a model for her behavior. There were, indeed, other such tamperings – not all of them successful or even having lasting impact. However, one of her ‘wardens’ developed a plan for determining what would happen if an empathic metamorph, already able to change to suit the desires of those around her, were subjected to high doses of a contraband material colloquially known as the “Venus Drug.” This long-term course of ‘medication’ has resulted in Aila being a Venus addict, a condition for which she now needs regular treatment.
