Description Lee really isn't one to sulk, but when she's caught sitting in her cabin contemplating her recently shortened arm, and the permanence of it due to the modifications to her body by her grandfather which prevent any regrowth therapy, she replies that yes, fairly obviously she is sitting in a corner, and if that's considered sulking, so be it.

Her mouse robot is peering out from behind her.

Oh, you have seen him before - it was just a while ago. [link]

Um... amputees. I seem to have attracted some amp devotees of late too. Lee has been an amputee for as long as you've been alive! The office prank was something my brain put together while staring at three facial expression sketches. The elf girl - well, that was an unplanned "as you go" drawing and I had no idea what to do with her arm, so I cut it off to give her a story.
Still, I guess I've always been fascinated - thus my similar interest in cyborgs. My interest would have developed when I was as young a 5 or 6 where one of my friends had only two fingers (and no thumb) on one of her hands.

aha... well I was right, the thing's cute ^^

I've had a long-running fascination with them and prosthetic limbs (which grows into a love of cybernetics), probably stemming off of my friends who are in wheelchairs (and manage to live a normal life anyways) I feel that people who have them aren't actually disabled, rather, it gives them a sort of underlying higher power...

The people who get on with life anyway - yes, they are awesome. Those that go into the "I'm handicapped, pity me, give me stuff for free, do my bidding," routine however don't appeal to me in the slightest. I wouldn't date a girl because she was handicapped, but I wouldn't rule her out for it either. I have a pony I bought called Adorable. I had been there when she was born, and spent a fair amount of time getting to know her. Later I mentioned to the seller that she had a couple of problems. She offered me my money back if I wasn't happy, to which I replied that I had bought Adorable, problems or no problems, as it was Adorable I wanted. The same applies to people. If we get on, communicate well and enjoy each other's company, I don't care how many legs or arms she has.

Hmm, food for thought here.
You say you wouldn't date a girl because she was handicapped
but
you portray many handicapped girls like this one.
So if you saw a girl like this in real life are you saying that she wouldn't hold some special attraction for you and make you want to get to know her?

I am also interested in the story that you use for this one about the grandfather, needs continuing maybe?

I think you missunderstood me. I'm saying I would not date a girl JUST because she was handicapped. It would not stop me dating her either. I'd date her if we were compatible, irrespective of any handicaps, though I do have to admit they do tend to catch my eye.

I think it's a problem of how we think things, how we say things and how we write them. Misunderstandings take place.
Can I add my mod of Lee to my DA? Credited and linked to you of course.

Yes, you can add your mod of Lee. I always like seeing what other people do with my characters/art.

What kind of problems? Like, walks oddly? I'm more attracted to animals that have some sort of disability, like the one-eyed chinchilla who's been dubbed mine (though she doesn't live with me )

Yeah, people who can go through life when missing something so necessary to the rest of us, but still are happy and healthy... I wonder if I could be as strong as they are, if in that situation.

Her lower jaw is fractionally longer than her upper - but only cause a 1mm missmatch in her teeth. It's well within the society's specifications, but is not at all desirable. Minor, but it was one of the things I mentioned. The other is that she is "cow hocked" a fairly serious conformation fault where she stands with her hocks together and feet splayed. As far as I am concerned, it is undesirable, but hard to avoid, because it seems most minis either exhibit it or carry the gene for it if they don't. It's not as much of a big deal for ponies that only spend their life grazing and getting petted. It's not like she could be ridden.

I think that as long as it doesn't impede their quality of life, there's nothing wrong with it :/ I know the show-quality pony's job is to look cute, (even if he's inbred and fed steroids) but I don't think those "faults" make any creature worth less than another.

can cow-hocks become a medical problem if they're in a horse/pony that's being ridden? (I only know what it looks like, nothing about what it does inside the leg)...

Apparently it causes undesirable (uncomfortable!) bone build up in some areas of the leg due to the uneven stresses.

ah... very uncomfortable... I can see how many problems that can cause
