Tesla

Tesla (テスラ,) was an independent plant, and is also Vash and Knives's older sister.

Appearance
Tesla was a small girl with blonde hair and a freckle on the left of her chin. She wore the universal outfit for children on the SEEDS ships.

History
Tesla was the first known independent plant to be born, and as such fell victim to becoming a test subject under humans.

She appeared to Vash and Knives as a vision that led them to the medical block where the experiments on her were performed.

The Report of Tesla
The Report of Tesla was the recording of experiments performed on Tesla by the humans up until her death.

The reports began on May 3rd, 2405 when Tesla was retrieved from a plant as a newborn. She grew at a rapid pace and showed consciousness very early on. She became able to master speech, resembling that of a 6 or 7-year-old human at just 92 days old. The fact that she was emoting and communicating rose concern in the team over the ethics of the experiments performed on her. The fact that she was of another species was enough to justify the horrible treatment, and the experiments faced no yield.

Repeated scanning caused tumors to grow in Tesla’s body as well as other trauma. After 170 days, Tesla’s life began to falter: a sharp decline in renewal functions, apparent weakness, hair loss, fracturing bones upon standing, and distinct odor. On the 229th day of her life, Tesla went into convulsions during the administration of medication and died 14 hours later. The project report was then closed.

Tesla’s body was preserved in three separate cylinders tanks after her death: one containing her right arm, another containing the majority of her dissected body, and the last encasing her brain and eyes.
