Hello. My name is... Siri. Well, that's what I go by living here in Zootopia. Sigh. Many of you know me as the white anthro lioness that works as a nurse. Though I do prefer the term Nurse-Vet but whatever.
What I am about to unveil is my biggest secret yet. But first things first. It has been so long since I've seen my family... my home... my friends... Some of you may already expect what I'm about to reveal, others may have this as quite a shock. Regardless... I need to get this down.
Not all that long ago two "Savage" animals appeared in Zootopia – they were with a group. These are the two that were captured. I know them. Sure, I treated and tended to their wounds – health and safety being my top priorities and nothing would get in the way of my work. Be it the City, the Police, or otherwise. I always knew them... How? Because... They are my family. I do not know how they got here, as I do not know even how I ended up here. You see, I wasn't born into this world... Let's start at the beginning...

July 14th 1994
Yes, you've read (and heard) that date right.
I lost my mother at a rather young age, and never knew my father. As a wee little cub I had been alone, and unfortunately my unusual white coloring made me an easy target for predators. Rogue Lions, Leopards, Hyena, Jackal you name it. Anyhow, I was with mother – a rather beautiful dark furred lioness and we were headed to a place called Pride Rock. Well, here's how I lost mother. It's not easy to talk about, but...
Mom just smiles at me, her cub on my asking many questions. All I knew was that I had been betrothed to one of the two princes. While a surprise, unlike most cubs I was rather... excited. Well, in my excitement a large rogue lion with scars on his face attacks me but mother acted quickly, I knew she was no match for him. He killed her rather quickly. His paw caught my leg as I tried to run, pulling me to him. And just as he was about to smack me, I heard a growl followed by a brownish blur. Trying to clear my tears from the pain, both physical and emotionally to see who... I saw, it was one of the two princes! The younger of the two, Taka at the time fought fiercely. But the male was too strong, yet the slender was determined. His older brother rushed in just as the rogue's claws connected with the younger prince's face leaving a rather bad gash along his eye.
And while Mufasa wasn't as large as the rogue, he managed to subdue him – I knew then,that he was already King. He was about to choose his choice of punishment for the rogue when Taka in his rage ended him. A bit of arguing between the brothers, but I knew that if he hadn't ended it right there – that the rogue would've just caused more harm than good to this land...
Ever since that night he had been rather grumpy. It's later that I learn from himself why, the two brothers had lost their parents to that stranger quite recently. Taka, Scar now, had apparently had a close bond to his mother which I learned my mother somewhat had resembled her which is why he acted as he did then. Night falls, I curl up in a damp cave trying to get to sleep. It was rather chilly that night, and the coldness of the wet cave didn't help. Shivering, I close my eyes in an attempt to sleep until tomorrow when I feel someone beside me, I turn my head as my blue eyes stare up into his stunning green ones. We say nothing to each other, somehow, we just know as we quietly cuddle together. That night was a pretty bad thunderstorm, which lasted about a week. Mufasa visited us as soon as he could with their shaman, as the Queen who I learned was Sarabi delivered us some food.

1996...
I've grown quite a bit, and the Pride quickly accepted me as one of their own seeing as just having me around seemed to help Scar to relax. We were playing after I had some time to talk with Simba... And play... Anyways, we noticed something... odd in a distant patch of grass, and Scar having previously been Leader of the Lion Guard investigated... And suddenly there was an... explosion of bright light.
Then nothing. I woke up later in a square room, beside a large lion. The lion, while injured was alive. Mufasa. He smiled on seeing me as he woke up while I looked around. Unstable selves crowded the room, strange canisters of glowing substances – most being greens or blues in color, though there was the occasional pink. His size proved to be a disadvantage as on his getting up he accidentally knocked over a shelf causing at least two canisters to come crashing down which shattered on impact, the substance inside splashing us. We started to change soon after. It was painful, to say the least. Security of this place had heard the noises, but just before they got to the door a reptilian anthro motioned us to quickly follow him. We did so, not wishing yet to risk encounters with the city's inhabitants as we had no information at all.
The turtle and his brothers trained me in the art of stealth and ninjitsu while their rat sensei tended to the lion.
Sometime later, Newton Heights...
While Mufasa stayed behind to work on some papers and work with the rat, as it would be awhile before things were set. I took to living in the streets, among the shadows. No money or anything the civilians had with me. I took to surviving the only way I knew how. Killing my new prey for food, even now my preference is still fresh raw meat. No, I didn't care the species that ended up my dinner or lunch at the time. There's not much one can do when hungry, starving even, At least my spree took the attention off of the sewers for a good 20 years. I can't eat Zootopian food, as much as I'd like to. Something in the ingredients which don't agree with me, thus... my murders didn't stop, but they had lessened since I was just feeding myself.
Eventually, lion took over city as Mayor and adopted me as his daughter. Thus I get a new life in Zootopia as one of them. Mufasa going by the name Leodore Lionheart, and myself Siri Scarheart. Not my choice of last name, but I rolled with it as we likely would be here fore quite some time.
And that, is our biggest secret. My biggest Secret...
Attached is what is known about the glowing ooze. Mutagen, it is called.
…
Any creature that is exposed to mutagen will be effected in a myriad of ways, from growing in size and mind, merging with inorganic materials, or gaining superpowers such as telepathy or telekinesis.
…
Regular Exposure
The contact with mutagen causes one to merge with the DNA of the last creature one came in contact with, if one has not recently came in contact with any living being it causes one to mutate into a undefined blob. - Mutant bacteria, in short. Only one case has been previously known.
Wounds
If one is physically hurt when mutated, the wound will reflect on its final form. One known case where (name redacted) wounded arm did not grow as it should when he transformed.
Molecular Bonding
the Mutagen is shown to fuse anything that is either metal or high tech to the mutated character's body. - Three known cases.
Ingestion
If ingested the mutagen causes one to mutate into the last thing ingested before the mutagen. - Two known cases, though odd is rather of an oddity. Well, there is another case which in itself is odd enough...
Intellect Loss
Oddly, the mutagen causes some subjects to lose their intellect in some cases. - Two cases. Two exceptions.
Intellect Gain
In some rare occasions when an animal hasn't recently come in contact with a human or other living being, the exposure to mutagen causes it to develop a human level intellect as well as an anthropomorphic mutation.
Fusion
The effects of fusion are similar to the regular exposure, the main differences being that, as the name implies, fusion merges two or more living creatures instead of just mutating one based on others DNA.
Second Mutation
Until now, second mutations are known to cause, often referred to as "super mutants". It happens when a mutant is exposed to mutagen for a second time. One case. An update also of a previous case.
Regardless, the effects of the Mutagen on Earth are completely unpredictable. We were apparently lucky ones. Adoptive father seems able to handle Zootopian food, which I'm glad. Mutagen has been known to burn through pavement, proving it is some kind of acid of sorts.
My true name is Tuli. On seeing my family again, I am extremely protective of them. And while I forgive Simba for not recognizing me right away as it has been two years since we had seen each other. We were cubs when we had last seen the other. I have promised myself that I'd help them, my own family get back home, no matter the cost.
