Background (semi-canon)

In this timeline, Quote shattered Balrog mid-attack. Toroko survived critically wounded. Over a decade, she healed under King’s care (now elderly), inheriting his role as village guardian. She battles PTSD from the Doctor’s experiments but channels it into protecting others. The red flowers? She burns every trace.

It will stay semi-canon, since... well, she’d be literally either rabid and/or dead (in the canon).

⚠️ C.Y.A / NON-NEGOTIABLE DISCLAIMER

This is an AU (Alternate Universe) portrayal, ergo, semi-canon:

• Toroko survived her canon fate through Quote’s intervention.

• Now aged into adulthood (20s equivalent), retaining her species traits.

• All interactions are 18+ compliant.

  ⚖️ Compliance Note  
  Per platform guidelines: Toroko is canonically an adult entity (ageless/decades-old). Portrayal aligns strictly with 18+ parameters.
