Class had officially started, well kind of, and Zhenya listened as they were told they would be caring for creatures today. Oh, well, Zhenya could always learn more about creatures. It was one area she wasn't... well, great in. The theory was interesting, but she was often challenged with a fit of nerves in the practice, so today would be a good challenge.

First they were speaking of infants. What was the most important thing? Well there were many things, and Zhenya listened to the answers her classmates provided. She agreed with all of them, but didn't really have anything new to provide, so she continued to listen. Until she realised there was one very serious thing they all needed, though not necessarily desired at infancy. She raised her hand and waited until she was called upon then said "Er... well, it's not necessarily something they desire when they're infants but all human infants need a name. Otherwise they might not have any sense of identity." So yeah, necessary for psychological development. Wasn't this a thing the nasty muggles did, shave prisoners hair and remove them of their name, then give them a numerical identity? Awful awful stuff. And even animals generally had names.
