Somehow I don't think that the curses are passed from one generation to the 
next. And even if they were, you can't have 1/4 unless you have 4 forms. If 
you wanted to make the curse weaker (because of one un cursed parent) you 
could change the water temperatures needed. Say that the cold water has to be 

COLD to change into the cursed form, and (depending on which way you feel 

like 

working it out) that it takes lukewarm water to change back to the original 
form. If you want an interesting effect, make the 'hot' water temperature too 

high for the cursed form to withstand, making it painful to change back.

 well, we're discussing this because we KNOW some curses are.
re: mint and lime. they were never cursed. their parents were a male
and an animal that had been cursed and then splashed with a water
to KEEP them in their cursed-female forms. and they have some of
the animal characteristics of their parents.


 ..and re your temperature ideas, set the cold-water changing
to well below freezing ^_-

Hmm, apparently I was talking about something when I didn't know the basic 
information. The way I interpret this, an animal was cursed into a female 
human then kept that way, right? Well in that case I think it would be up to 
the author how he handled that. I don't see a way for the original form to 
affect anything if she was human permanently, but that's just me.

As to your comment about below freezing- That would mean that the character 
would have to contact 'supercooled' water (its below freezing but moving so 
much it cant turn into ice). That would mean that the curse could almost only 
be activated at the characters will. Interesting...
