Tiffany grew up with a very fragile body that could crack and shatter if there was too much damage done to her.
There was a limit to the things she could do compared to others and the slightest fall or too much force used by others could cause her great harm.
Even though there were times when she wanted to learn how to perform various stunts from those in the carnival, she was only ever allowed to watch them train and perform.
Being told that she could not do something never felt good and that often made her want to do it more so that she could prove she could do them too.
While some treated her that way out of care to keep her out of harm's way, others simply looked down on her but both reasons were often behind why she was unable to try out properly for the things she wanted to do.
She more than anyone else wanted to escape the life of being one of the freaks on show in the Hall of Horror attraction in the carnival.
After being harmed by her adoptive mother and being put near death, it solidified her desire to learn how to protect herself but she was uncertain if anyone would teach her.
Her body may have been improving and becoming less fragile as she absorbed stronger materials but it was still very far from reaching what others her age would have for a physical body.
It did not matter whether they had a Quirk or not, others in the same age range or older would still be above her in terms of physical power and durability.
Even a four-year-old who just awakened the power of their Quirk could do her harm if she was not careful and that was not an understatement if the Quirk had enough power to do so.
If there was anything else that had motivated her to learn how to fight and better protect herself then it was the most recent events.
Her previous attempts to help out during a crisis had proven to be effective but they would not always work.
There needed to be far more ways of using her ability to control toys rather than just relying on the tools implanted inside of them.
There needed to be more practical uses for them and she needed to explore new ways to manipulate them so that they could provide far better support.
They were excellent for catching others off guard but once the element of surprise was gone, they would lose their effectiveness very easily.
She needed to be able to use those new bodies much better too which meant that she needed to pick up some new skills that could be applied to them.
Those skills could be applied not only to her body but to the other things that she had under control.
Only then could she maximize the potential of her Quirk that would allow her to utilize all kinds of roles like supporting, assassinating, close combat or even ranged.
There had been some orders that were put in for some other inventions to be made for her but they would take more time so she needed to prepare for when they were ready.
If she did not know how to use them well then they would not be able to be used well enough for the purpose they were built for and they would easily be destroyed after sustaining too much damage when it could have been avoided.
Butch hesitated before asking in a worried tone of voice. "Do you think that you can handle it? I was originally planning on increasing the security around you instead."
Tiffany shook her head in response. "Sorry, but I cannot quite get used to being protected like this. My body is like my biggest weak point so I want to learn how to better protect it should the need arise."
There would be many times when Butch was not by her side and with how things were going in his gang, unknown variables were lurking around that could create problems later.
It was unknown if anyone could be fully trusted besides Butch since anything could happen in the future.
Placing more protection sounded like a good idea since it would keep her safer but it also increased the chances of there being a traitor by her side.
Not only was her main body her greatest weakness but she could be considered as a weakness for Butch too.
The moment that she landed in the hands of others was when others could get an advantage over Butch.
If he proceeded with the plan of increasing her protection then it was like he was almost gifting others the chance to take hold of his weakness when he was not around.
That was another reason why Tiffany wanted to learn how to protect herself even if it helped to delay someone and better protect her body for the time being.
Tiffany looked very serious as her green eyes remained narrowed and fixed on Butch. "I am serious. I want to learn how to fight. I want to learn how to use other things too so please teach me. I do not care how tough it will be or how dangerous..."
She was not afraid of the risks since she was well aware of her current limitations.
Even if she pushed herself too far, there had been various things that she could do to fix anything that did happen.
So long as she was alive and was able to avoid death then there was hope.
She could heal her body like she did before so it did not matter too much if she got damaged.
Upon seeing her serious face looking at him without backing down, Butch sighed in response before leaning back in his seat. "Fine... fine. You win, okay? I will train you but the moment that you are hurt I will be stopping."
A small satisfied smile appeared on her face. "Sounds good!"
