>>33934399With all of this put together, it becomes a little less unbelievable for me to seriously state that her chest-waist-hip measurements, in inches, are 12-12-68, and she weighs approximately 317 pounds; most of that weight was gained over the course of switching to a human diet before we made a decision to restrict things for now to keep her at a healthy weight. Granted, this does still mean that she is incredibly overweight for a Pheromosa and is linked to the fact that the fat in her body has been condensed to the point of being far denser than normal adipose tissue is even for humans, but as the two of us have discovered together, her weight has actually helped to boost her immune system and increase her overall health, and both developed musculature in her legs and the spongy and flexible nature of her exoskeleton has allowed her body to rapidly grow and adapt to her increased weight so she can still carry the weight safely, albeit with a wobble to her step. Given her condition, I have estimated that she may live for an additional 60-80 years if not longer, a literal human lifetime that she is incredibly happy to have the chance to live out. Lastly, it should be mentioned that, while Pheromosa are considered to be genderless, I have been referring to Mina as a she because in Mina’s case…well, let’s just say that she identifies as a woman and her overall anatomy is consistent with what would be expected to see in a female, with her weight in particular granting such parts of the female anatomy a…fairly pronounced appearance, to the say the least for the sake of decency and so as not to embarrass her.
