She's not an android or whatever, but it sounds like she's close enough--she was a homunculus, so she was also... made differently than most other people.

[And wouldn't be considered human by some--even Christopher, another homunculus, had acted like being treated like a human was rare.

Considering Christopher was a murderer with shark teeth, Firo could understand a little bit more about where that was coming from, even if he didn't agree with it..]
