#and he will check on her every 4 hours regardless of ehat yor says

I mentioned before that Anya is epileptic in my hc. The seizures are not bad or harmful just to be clear, they are actually beneficial and help prevent actual damage to her brain. It's like having an outlet that turns itself off when it starts to over heat or too much current flows through it. Currently however it is main triggered by using her powers too abruptly or using them in crowded spaces, two things she doesn't have control over and therefore cannot prevent easily.

The primary danger of her epilepsy is when it happens. Like with most seizures she goes unconscious somewhat randomly and can be in a position to get injured. Normally she gets lightheaded and Loid would remove her from the area (assuming she's just overwhelmed as an orphan in a foreign environment).

The first time she has an actual shaking seizure (I forgot the name) is at school during an assembly. She begins to feel lightheaded and tries to get away from the crowd. While walking down the stairs, she suddenly starts seizing and ends up falling down. She gets knocked unconscious but thankfully someone saw her as she fell and was able to get help.

They take her to the hospital and Twilight is shocked and confused and of course worried about the mission. Anya reveals that yes in the past she has fainted before but it was always unclear why. In the end the doctor diagnoses her with epilepsy and that she should be monitored until an actual source is found.

(Note: Handler knows that's its actually because of her powers and it's caused by over usage but there is no way to explain that to anyone without confusing them so she had the doctor lie and secretly treat her properly. She gets placebo pills to take to help control them lol)

Neither of her parents have a sane reaction to this diagnosis and it creates a lot of strife between them.

Yor on one hand is mad at Loid for never noticing his daughter was epileptic, clearly unaware of her previous episodes. It's a dangerous disorder and she should have been relieving treatment since before. He is a doctor after all, how could he have let this fly under the radar. It makes her reevaluate her understanding of Anya and Loid's relationship and she begins to notice that he doesn't seem to know Anya all that well and Anya doesn't seem to know him that well. There's a weird disconnect in their relationship that makes it feel too distant to say they were alone together for 2 years.

Twilight on the other hand is an anxious mess because of this. He deeply related to Anya and her childhood as an orphan and at some point promised himself that he will work towards improving her life and experiences so that she is able to grow up and be a happy healthy functioning member of society. To discover that she has epilepsy really shock him to his core. When she had that first seizure she fell down a staircase and got severely injured and actually started choking. The entire she was practically alone before someone was able to get to her. He couldn't help but imagine the worse, like genuinely scared something bad was going to happen to her if she doesn't get treatment. Then he's thinking about how many times she would have fainted at the orphanage only to be ignored or worse have no one even notice. What if that seizure were to happen when she was somewhere other than he crowded school. What if she was just walking down the street or in the middle of an emergency. The whole thing just reminds hum of what it was like being alone on the streets and having his own medical emergencies only to have no one there to help him.

It gets very bad for him. Every night he's in her room watching her sleep just incase she doesn't have an episode. Every time anya seems a bit loopy he panics. He won't let he do anything that might trigger them. He's reading books about it and making himself even more paranoid. One day he comes home and Anya is passed out on the ground and he just absolutely let's it all go on Yor because he thinks it was a seizure and Yor just ignored it. Don't worry she screams right back at his ass because as it would turn out the reason Anya was passed out on the ground is because he was keeping her up all night constantly waking her up because he thought she was seizing. She was so tired and grumpy and was throwing a tantrum so Yor just let her sleep on the ground right where she was. And now since Loid was screaming down the house like a lunatic she woke up and was grumpy all over again.

Of course Anya's powers were slowly developing and getting strong which means she was far more intuned with her dad and his anxiety was really rubbing off on her and she kept having nightmares of all the horrible scenarios he came up with.

So yeah no one took that diagnosis very well lmao.
