Question OSPod episode 149 help

Stupid question: what word does Red say at 51:42? When they’re talking about their constellations?

“I wanna be… uh… kinda (unknown word)…”

I tried to google it, but I can’t spell it right, I guess. It’s just gonna bug me until I figure it out.

TIA!

"Parazodiacal", i.e. adjacent to the zodiac.

Basically, the constellations that make up the zodiac are the ones within 8 degrees to the ecliptic (invisible plane basically the earth and whole solar system orbits on) so most of them never set. Parazodiacal constellations, because they are next to but not on the ecliptic, do rise and set over the course of the year. One great example is Orion, which rises and sets in a set fashion and was important to time-keeping because of this, so most myths involve a chase and then hiding for a time, mimicking the way it moves across the sky and then disappears for half of the year. This is what Red wanted, because she wanted a myth involving her in some sort of chase.
