Biography:
	Origin:   Nearing the time of her creation, Quitus' work was much less perfected, & capabilities
		  were lower than what would be in the present. Upon acquiring intel of ultra wormholes
		  surfacing as events initially in Alola, Quitus'interest piqued and he began research
		  and experimentation on Ultra Beasts and the ultra wormholes. Research on Ultra Beasts
		  themselves was initially ineffective as a vain effort; Quitus had not developed or
		  obtained the proper equipment to capture them, and containment was extremely dangerous,
		  as the Ultra Beasts were hostile. His equipment did not help in this effort at the time,
		  due to the fact that Ultra Beasts are from entirely separate worlds & dimensions, and
		  therefore technology foreign to them did not work effectively in researching them. His
		  creative solution was successful the first time he had put it into action, however. If
		  Quitus could copy the Ultra Beasts precisely, then research could then be conducted on
		  the "Pokemon" themselves, and not simply their dimensions of origin. At the time, the
		  only cloning agent available to Quitus was a natural one-- Ditto. However, Ditto was
		  far from effective; Ditto themselves are not easily controllable due to their usual
		  lack of intelligence in general. His solution to this would be to create a new "breed"
		  of Ditto, one with a sense of identity and truly effective intelligence & preception.

		  Using a normal Ditto as his base, Quitus vastly improved the capabilities of the species
		  in one single member of it. He also greatly advanced the traits, especially ones that
		  would aid in Ditto's main purpose: cloning. Perfect cloning. Luphina was the result.
	 	  Quitus gave this subject a mind of something he saw as easily obedient; Luphina was
		  given the human mind of a young, naive female child. She carried out orders in a manner
		  that was very effective, successfully cloning the elusive Ultra Beasts in a nigh-perfect
		  copy. Research was performed on these clone forms countless times, and Luphina became
		  his lab rat. However, she also developed as a human would from her initial mental age,
		  and eventually became less naive and servile. However, this took years to occur to any
		  substantial effect, & by then Quitus would have already advanced in his technology far
		  enough to where a cloning agent such as Luphina was not needed. Luphina had attempted
		  escape multiple times, but ultimately was blocked by sheer restriction. Quitus had
		  planned to have Luphina's memory scratched entirely and for her to be released into the
		  wild once again, though by the time he would have gotten around to doing so, Luphina
		  had fled from his facility by using her own ability against him, outsmarting her own
		  creator.

	Post-laboratory: Luphina was in passive pursuit for a considerable period of time following her
			 absence, though ultimately was completely unable to be found. She settled in a
			 desolate forest uninhabited by others at the time, building a treehouse & living
			 in fear within. She developed heavy anxiety from there among with depressive
			 tendencies. She made her common form as a coping mechanism, attempting to
			 substitute her true form for another one that she could stomach easier. It was
			 a way of "forgetting" the distant past, and is one of the reasons as to her
			 truest possible form has not been seen in a considerable amount of time. She
			 adopted this human form as her true one, despite it not actually being so from a
			 technical standpoint.

Personality and traits:
	Appearance: Luphina's common form is a short, young girl in her mid teens. She stands at five feet
		    tall, with wavy, black hair that extends to her waist, which is rather small given her
		    thin build. She dons grey sweatpants with a light green v-neck tee, with a light
		    cerulean windbreaker. She has rectangular, bulky glasses with a subtly darkened tint.
		    Her skin is very pale,
		    Her irises are a vibrant pink, the same pink that makes up the slime-like body of her
		    true form. All forms of Luphina with eyes will have vibrant, pink eyes. This is one of
		    the only ways to identify a creature as Luphina, & is the only way through appearance,
		    similar to how Ditto keeps its nonchalant, dot-like eyes in all forms.

Trivia:
	-Luphina's technical name, "RU-01-MR", stands for "Replicative Unit 01, mixed results", in
	 reference to her role as a cloning agent during Quitus' initial research on the UBs, as well as
	 the mixed success of her usage, in that she eventually became a problem despite initially being
	 very useful.

	-Luphina is the only unit in the "Replication" line of Quitus' subjects.

	-Luphina's universially pink eyes as a flaw in alt forms is in lieu of a typical Ditto's dot-like
	 eyes always remaining present in transformations.

	-Luphina is left-handed.
