She goes away, and comes back with a woman, with the same colour hair, and more adult features; maybe in her early 20s. The woman explains that she is also Uran, but in an effectively unenhanced human body, a 'squishy', with a limited lifespan. She points to the Uran floating in the air beside her, grinning, and explains that the child form is the combat model.
All she (the older woman) can do is the more human stuff, like eat ice cream (the child Uran smiles rubs her own stomach), or 'adult' stuff (the floating Uran mutters "Icky!"). "Shape affects mindset", the woman comments with a smile.
The child Uran is incredibly strong, tough, can fly even in vacuum, and can go invisible. Yes, she is skilled in kung fu, and maybe ninjutsu, but only to sub-black belt level. That's good, but will not prove enough against some opponents.
The older Uran explains, yes, she could find 'squishy' martial arts instructors, and use-up her limited lifespan polishing her martial arts skills. But, this wouldn't transfer to the child Uran, whose the person whose going to need them.
