Backstory
Roxy Ringstrike, until recently an inhabitant of Earth 357 (a parallel universe where everyone is a human animal hybrid), was an intern for a prestigious project. She and her mentor were aiming to send a tiny particle across dimensions; they got more than they bargained for.
After the sound of space itself tearing apart, Roxy awoke in the middle of a busy department store (the same physical location her lab was housed in her native universe) to humans panicking and generally being a nuisance.
She quickly realized she was the only human animal hybrid, and wisely fled the scene.
Earth 357 is significantly more advanced than the world she finds herself on now; Roxy's whole generation has imbedded CPU, computer interface, and petabytes of storage, all housed in their craniums. That, and the fact that her atoms aren't quite lined up with those around her, lets her walk between them at will, or even teleport herself and others great distances instantaneously.
Now, she's trying to make the best of her situation, helping others wherever possible and looking for a way home.
