They only occur on her ears, tail, lower back, butt, and barely around to the front of her hips. This is due to her being a double-merle.

Tattoos: None Scars: Covered in scars on her arms and inner thighs, as well as other random places though those are the most noticeable. These scars have a tendancy to crack open and bleed when her condition is in a bad state. Due to their weakened ability and her fragility, they crack open and bleed easily, so they never really heal.

She's very embarassed of her disease, how sometimes she'll randomly start bleeding and not realize it until it's obvious. Therefore, she tends to avoid people. Around Akashi she's very open, bubbly, easily excited, talkative, creative and generally enjoyable to be around. She knows he doesn't care about her bleeding, so she's not hindered at all.

History Childhood: Everything about Dreya is a complete accident, and an ironic joke the universe has played. She wasn't meant to be conceived, her mother even tried to create an abortion by smoking massive amounts of crack cokaine, however somehow... this little child was born. She was so innocent, but so unwanted. A child that shouldn't have been born, a mix between two merle shetland sheepdogs, a bad combination that usually leads to deafness. And in her case, this was true. She was deaf from the day she was born, yet in her bright blue eyes anyone could see her shine for life. ((She used to have blue eyes and blue markings. I'll explain))
However, due to her condition her parents assumed she was retarded and took no care of her. She was a burden, an unwanted child. They kept her in a closet upstairs from birth, only bothering to check on her every day to feed her. It's a miracle she survived past infancy, especially after being born a crack baby with extreme physical problems, labored breathing, frail bones and skin, etc...
This continued for years, she stayed in the closet her whole childhood. When she reached age 3 her father began molesting her, and by age 5 he was regularly raping her. One day he snapped and killed her Mother, making Dreya help him dig a grave in the backyard for her.
Her father began to break apart, and he did drugs constantly. Due to sharing needles he inherited a horrific disease, some sort of mix between the ebola virus, aids, and rabies. Dreya was still being used as a household maid by her Father, constantly cooking him food he somehow got from friends, while he starved her. She ate every other day, and not much at that. After he inherited the disease and it became contagious, it was passed to his daughter, Dreya, through his continually raping and abusing her.
Teenage: By now Dreya was around age 11, close enough to teenage years for her. The next 2 years were hell, she watched her Father die in front of her face. She saw him spreading the disease to others that came over to do drugs, and she was so disgusted... all she ever did was hide away in her room/closet and dream she was in some sort of fairtytale. It was a dark fairtytale, not your typical flowers and sparkly blue skies, but still it was something her own mind had created. She escaped there. She took care of an injured field mouse she found in a mousetrap her Father had set up one day. She always loved animals. So she hid, in her room with what little she had. She learned how to draw, taught herself how to read, write...
Then everything got so difficult. She knew her Father had infected her, but it took a year for her to start getting the symptoms. By now her Father was near death, and one night when he was passed out from coughing up blood she grabbed her little mouse Cookie and the couple shirts and pants she owned. She found an abandoned warehouse, and she climbed to the very top where it said the building was condemned, and no one was allowed there because it could collapse. However, the town wasn't going to tear it down... so, she took shelter there, when most wouldn't dare. On her first night there her little mouse slept curled against her chest as she slept on the hardwood floor... but in the morning he was dead... killed by a cat in the room. And then Dreya began to understand what life and death was.
She would leave at night and gather things, mattresses left for trash at people's curbs or in dumpsters. This was how she got her food, clothing, and everything else. She only went out late at night when less people were around, and she would be careful... she wasn't airborne contagious yet, but it could happen anyday.
Then it did... she began to bleed from every open orface in her body. Eyes, nose, ears, mouth, old scars ripping open, from her vagina even though she had never had her period before. She was only 13. She was terrified and hid in her attic in the warehouse. She was always so cold and hungry, but she began to get so weak she couldn't move anymore. For a long time they had enough food in the apartment to survive... they being Dreya and her animals. Her dogs, cat, random mice, and birds that would roost in the attic overnight or for the winter, or just anytime. They knew she would feed them, talk to them. The animals seemed to weap as she fell into her sickness, and one by one they left, all but Smokey and Stormy, Zero, her three dogs. Even though she told them to go, to save themselves... they stayed, began to starve.
Now she was near death, at the age of 15 she was going to die. Nothing but a child, innocent, who had never hurt a soul in her life. She was covered in blood, and this was when she first saw the white shine... some creature watching over her, some comforting hope in her darkness (who would later reveal itself as Gravity)... EndAll appeared to her, then Mike came... That was all she could remember, because it was then that she died, in Mike's arms.
However, it was not her time to go. She was too innocent. Gravity stole her body from Mike's basement and took it to his realm where he began to heal her and bring her back to the physical realm. She never fully healed, because she did not want to. For some reason she felt it was due to her to die. Because all she could think about was how much of a mistake she was. Gravity cannot heal to perfection when the person does not wish it, so he let her be. She will still bleed occasionally from any open orface, but she is not contagious anymore, and the bleeding is not severe. It keeps her anemic, but she still is able to function with supplements. She is still very fragile and very weak, very childlike and under-developed.
In her ghost-like state of being while Gravity healed her, she heard Akashi calling to her, she didn't know how, but she did. He had seen her briefly before she died... he was an aquiantance of EndAll's... he was in every dream she had every night. When she awoke she was in Akashi's mansion, laying in a bed he had made for her... and there he was at her side, holding her hand and staring into her eyes... they were immediately in love, and her adoration for him is impossible to describe. She cares for him more deeply than most thought possible... but it's her childish-ness, her complete trust and commitment... she can't help but love him and shower him in affection. She's always drawing him things, leaving him cute little notes, and things like that.
One night while she slept, Akashi installed a mechanical heart into her chest. She was unconscious for the whole procedure, due to incredibly advanced technology that Akashi owned. He was able to install the mechanical heart, though it is attached to her biological form. However, the installation caused the change in her fur and markings, and she knows it occurred and wanted it to, though she doesn't truly understand what it means. She's already slightly immortal, so it changes things mainly by making her stop aging. She'll always appear to be 15 no matter how much longer she lives.

Themesong: "Reptile" and "The Fragile" by Nine Inch Nails
Main Theme: "Reptile" by the Nine Inch Nails Lyrics:
she spread herself wide open to let the insects in
she leaves a trail of honey to show me where she's been
she has the blood of reptile just underneath her skin
seeds from a thousand others drip down from within
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
I am so impure
devils speak of the ways in which she'll manifest
angels bleed from the tainted touch of my caress
need to contaminate to alleviate this loneliness
I now know the depths I reach are limitless
oh my beautiful liar
oh my precious whore
my disease my infection
I am so impure Reason: It fits Akashi and her relationship to perfection, and it also illustrates much about her character and disease.
