O-K. The Uncle knew. The Uncle knew and set this all up.
The Uncle is really her dad. Her birth mom died, she’s really a genius, used scarab beetle brew-ha-ha to contain her genius, created walking talking zombie Frankenstein creatures to take care of her as he wanders to parts unknown.
I can’t tell if he is a good parent or not for doing this.
Or maybe he really is her Uncle and revived his sister and brother-in-law when they died because of grief. Who knows.
