Prompt: Liara
The other children gathered around her, pointing and laughing. "Liara is a pure blood," they chanted over and over. The oldest pushed her and the toddler fell to the ground and started bawling.
She sniffled, "am not."
"Are too!" the other children chorused.
"Am not!"
The oldest asked, "Then what is your mother's mate?"
She looked at the child in confusion. "My mother has no mate."
"See? She knows she did something wrong."
"Did not!"
That was when Liara began to pretend her other parent was an alien. Some days it was a krogan, other days a salarian, and occasionally she hoped her mother's mate was a quarian. Anything but another asari.
