The appearance and functionality of each of Ima's forms are outlined here.
NORMAL FORM
- SKIN Green-tinted skin with mottled patches of actual green, and vinelike patterns down her abdomen and back. Contrary to the linked example, the fully skin-tone parts of her torso and limbs should be as green-tinted as the top of her head.
- BUILD Ima stands 5'5" tall and is morbidly obese. She weighed somewhere in the neighborhood of 600-something pounds even before the monstrous additions to her anatomy. Her bustline is the part of her body with the greatest circumference, at roughly 109 inches around.
- EYES Every part of her eyes is green. The sclerae are a slightly darker green than her skin, irises lighter than her sclerae, and pupils a very dark green.
- EYELASHES Sundew eyelashes. Hers are hot pink in color instead of the standard reddish-orange, and do feature the droplets of moisture at the ends.
- HAIR Hair is mostly normal and rich brown in color with chocolate cosmos and small sprigs of baby's breath mixed in. On each side of her head is one small rose, peachy-pink in color, trailed by feather-like strands of pink muhly grass and white pampas grass. The layout is identical to this hair ornament.
- EARS Each ear is one-half of a Venus flytrap jaw (with the pink side facing out and made concave, plus more green around the edges). One glory blue hydrangea bloom hangs from each 'earlobe' like natural earrings.
- ARMS Long, thin strands of small-leafed creeping Jenny are wound around her arms.
- LEGS The winding creeping Jenny from her arms repeats itself here, with the addition of white candytuft flowers. These are closely-spaced but not enough to cover all of the skin; think patterned tights. One debutante camellia grows from the outer side of each ankle, with narrow stems looped around her ankles.
- THORNS Hot pink, thorn-like spikes on knuckles closest to palms of hands and middle knuckles (for a total of two thorns per finger). Her thumbs lack them entirely. The points of the spikes curl outwards towards her fingertips.
- CLAWS Greenish claws containing sleep venom.
- FEET Rootlike toes that come to a point and fade from green to brown.
- MANTLE A mix of pink debutante camellias, cloudberries and cloudberry flowers, and glory blue hydrangeas grow across her upper back and shoulders, and down over her collarbone/upper chest area, like a mantle.
- TENDRILS Ima has two tendrils, one growing from each shoulderblade. These take the form of partially-unfurled fern fronds, each with curly mini-fronds as shown. 'White eyes' fuchsia flowers and 'creeping bluebells' (Billardiera fusiformis) hang along them at intervals. The bluebells are edible. Each tendril is roughly 8 feet long and can curl up when not in use.
- WINGS Thanks to Mana, Ima posesses a pair of fully functional wings. These wings were hand-built by Ima to appear like those of a bird, except the they possess leaves in place of feathers and a network of pliant twigs in place of bones. The wings are large and broad in order to fully support her weight in midair, but are pliant enough to allow her to lay on her back without causing pain or damage to them.
FOG FORM
- TORSO From beneath her breasts on down (lower ribs to groin), Ima is now an enormous pitcher plant. She can fold three large petals over the opening to conceal it if desired, but the mouth of the pitcher is left open by default. She crams people into the opening of her pitcher plant torso in order to feed instead of using her roots, dissolving her prey alive in order to process their nutrients. The inside of this pitcher plant is lined with inward-facing rose thorns that make it impossible for living prey to crawl its way out; in addition, these toothlike thorns secrete her sleep venom, which puts her prey to sleep as they attempt to struggle their way out and get themselves caught on the thorns.
- MOUTH Mouth never fully opens or closes, even when she speaks, due to being structured like a Venus fly trap with long, consummate "spines" on either now thinner "lip." It's also also now much wider than it is in her normal form. She has no teeth in this form, and a hot pink, transparent digestive fluid is constantly pooling in and dripping from her mouth. As a result, she's unable to eat or drink.
- VOICE Her voice has a thick, bubbling, almost liquid quality in this form.
- EYES Still entirely green, but now she has a bunch of small pupils in each eye rather than standard pupils, clustered together in the center of her sclerae. Think something a little like a lotus seed pod. This is simply a cosmetic change, and her sense of sight itself is unaffected.
- EYELASHES Still constructed of pink sundew, now larger.
- ARMS Arms are constructed of twisting, slim tree roots or branches of some kind, and are so long her fingertips nearly brush the ground.
- HANDS Hands are very large and broad, and dominated by enormous, sharp wooden claws. These claws now lack sleep venom, as said venom has been transferred to the thorns inside her pitcher torso.
- LEGS Legs have been shed and supplanted by a tangle of very thick vines, each dotted with large thorns across their surface.
- SKIN Skin is a darker and more solid green, now mottled only around the middle of her face.
- NOSE Her nose is now simply two slits in her face.
- HAIR Hair consists of clots of dark green moss. Chocolate cosmos, baby's breath sprigs, and roses with grass are still present.
- TENDRILS Fern fiddleheads and leaves as well as the flowers are absent, replaced by instances of cordyceps ignota. Each tendril terminates in one aldrovesic plant.
- EYEBROWS Replaced by slim leaves, one per brow.
- EARS The same as in her normal form, but slightly larger.
| POWERS |
- NATURE NAVIGATION AND IDENTIFICATION Part 1 of her "connection with nature." Ima is easily able to navigate forests due to every tree looking different to her. Relatedly, her ability to notice the minute details of plants allow her to identify plant species, including whether or not they're poisonous (as clarified here).
- PLANT VITALITY Part 2 of her "connection with nature." She can nurse dying plants back to life with a touch, and cause saplings to grow faster.
- SENTIENCE RADAR Part 3 of her "connection with nature." By concentrating on her surroundings she's able to tell whether humans or other monsters are nearby.
- PLANT CONTROL She's now able to take control of nearby plants.
- STICKY SAP Her skin is capable of secreting an extremely sticky, sap-like substance that sticks to humans like super glue and prevents them from fleeing.
- SLEEP VENOM Ima's claws contain a potent venom capable of putting humans into a deep sleep.
- PARTIAL POISON RESISTANCE Plant-based toxins are only 50% as effective at harming her as they would be at harming humans or other monsters (as clarified here).

| WEAKNESSES |
- FIRE Being near fire will hurt her, while catching fire will grievously wound and potentially even kill her.
- MONSTER HUNGER Ima hungers for humans and needs to feed on them to avoid losing control of herself. If she doesn't feed often enough, her roots will begin to grow around the nearest person, independent of her awareness and control. She feeds by planting her root-like toes into a living human's body and draining their nutrients. Ima needs to feed at least once a week, but typically feeds as often as two or three times per week.

March 2021 - Role Reversal Plot - Human AU
Age: 21
Occupation: independent singer and guitarist
Born into Bavan's old-money high society, Barbara spent much of her life as the Lagerfelt family's black sheep and chief source of embarrassment. Weighing in at over 600 pounds, she served as a target for emotional abuse at the hands of her family (mother, father, older brother, older sister), particularly her mother, and the only bright spots in her childhood were the sympathetic friends she made among other rich kids and her natural aptitude in music classes. After her mother's failed attempt to literally force her into weight-loss surgery, Barbara was able to extricate herself from that toxic environment with the help of friends both old and new, and settle into a working-class life.
Barbara doesn't miss her old life among the elite, not for one second. She earns her living by singing and playing guitar in Bavan's club circuit, and released a couple singles that are only now starting to get airtime on local radio stations. As for her family? The only family she needs now is that which she's chosen for herself. She's even dropped her surname entirely, though she has yet to pick a replacement.
