Boo is not a pet, Boo is a living breathing pony cloned from Discord's Blood and is growing her own soul.

I'm well aware of that, but only because Discord embodies her. As the rest of the blanks are concerned, they are basically vegetables as they can't really do much on their own, which is why I consider Boo a 'pet' in the earlier parts of the story.

She had a better survival instinct than the other blanks even before Discord, but I see your point.

Actually, i believe she had better survival instincts BECAUSE of Discord, but I could be wrong on that. I'm not saying that Boo doesn't have enough sentience to become her own person, as demonstrated in the story, I merely meant in the context of Blackjack literally meeting her at that moment, she was as functioning in sentience and the aspects of human self awareness as a dog. Besides that; what other character from Project Horizons could compare to Pyrelight in that same manner?

Discord only sets up shop inside Boo after he's released, she was surviving more than the other blanks long before then. Though maybe his presence helped her gain her own soul and personality. And there is no character comparison. Though I suppose the comparison is enough for this to work. I think my true issue was not that Boo could be counted as a pet before Shadowbolt Tower, but that you lumped Discord and her together. They were separate characters. IDK. Incase I didn't say it before, I still like the piece and find the SPECIAL breakdown cool.

Thanks. When I was in the process of making the FO4 version of this, I was having some reservations to drop the Discord name from Boo herself (even if I know that a lot of her perks come from Discord's ability too), as the reason for me adding him to her name in the original was so I could compensate for the lacking number of characters in Boo's name. Why that was a problem for me, was that I would use a vector of the character above the text, and usually the text with the outline and glow would normally cover the fact that I horribly cut them in half, but with Boo's name only being 3, it was very telling where I cut her off whereas adding 'Boo/Discord' would. I didn't have that same issue dealing with the FO4 version, so I can only say that I only lumped it in for those who liked the original and didn't treat it like as if I had deliberately not taken Discord into account for roughly half the stupid shit Boo can do.

Nicely done. Though I disagree a bit on Pyrelight's lack of strength: apart from her fire breath, she can also fight with her claws in close combat, as we can see when she fought with bloodwings multiple times and with cockatrices in the Everfree Forest.

I did forget to mention that. I just meant in what Strength is normally used for in Fallout, for carry weight and burden, Pyrelight is really incapable of hauling anything, as her constantly enflamed and radiated body would likely melt, ruin and destroy anything near.
