This is my yinglet, Vayryn. She's a former human, but her story takes place on modern-day Earth. A mad scientist created a functional replica of Zhat Zhing, and sent it to her doorstep in a gift box labeled "From one fan to another", on April Fool's Day. And now she has to deal with being the world's only known non-human sapient. The world might not be ready for a yinglet walking around, but neither her nor it have a choice in the matter. Now she has to learn which foods she can eat, deal with confused looks from people not familiar with the comic, stereotypes and expectations from those who are, manage a Twitter account, and deal with the local hospital trying to gather as much information as they can about her to figure out what's happened.
One thing that's not pictured is her mutation/quirk. Instead of the usual "blush" response, where the blood vessels in the face are flushed and engorged, her eyes have the same vessels. So if she's angry, heavily embarrassed, drunk, held upside down, etc, her eyes will turn blood red until she's calmed down. Upon discovery, her comment was, "I can't believe zhis, I literally have cliche anime bullshit eyes." She absolutely hates it and finds it embarrassing. It doesn't hurt at all (and she only knows it's happening from the reactions of others), but when she realizes what's going on, she'll usually try to hide her eyes or look away until she thinks it's cleared up.
As a human, she was a trans girl with a body wracked by an autoimmune condition and nerve damage. Her medical problems have been cured by having her body rebuilt at a genetic level, and she's no longer having to worry about HRT, but she still considers the "yinglet" part of this a negative that far outweighs the positives. As she put it, "Zhat Bastard could've cured everyzhing wizhout turning me into a yinglet, but nooooo, he did zhis on purpose. He ruined my life, as a damn PRANK." She often defaults to sarcasm or anger, in order to hide the gut-wrenching terror of being tiny and surrounded by a world of giants that could easily stomp her flat without even trying, or seem willing to punt her just for existing. But she's trying to get better about that.
She stars in the story series, Modern Major Yinglet, which starts here (TXT version) - (PDF version).
Yinglets are from the comic Out of Placers (Page 1) by valsalia, which is a wonderful series that I highly recommend.
Artwork is by koofins who is a wonderful artist, who I also highly recommend.

I do wonder how Valsalia would react to someone turning into a yinglet in our world.
She hasn't been brave enough to try clams yet. It's still gonna be a while. After all, if it's like being drunk, and being drunk is more a "magnifier", she's not in a good place to get drunk yet... But she's getting there, things are slowly improving for her bit by bit. ^_^
Hmmm. Given that she gets "disability" payments, how much would the government pay to make her a shoulder saddle for a human, and hire staff to pretend to be her "giant" mecha for a day?
Well, she got those payments taken away when she started getting back into programming again... Whoops.
But maybe that'll be a cosplay idea with her boyfriend at some point. Riding on his shoulders and pointing where she wants him to go. "Quick, walk closer, I want to him zhem wizh my sword!" ^_~
