So a few people have mentioned my kitten looks like a chimera, I did some reading and it seems pretty close,

Basically
Onthe right half of her face,
almost perfectly down the centre, is 90% more tan/“orange” , it extends to the backside of her head aswell,

- the other half of her face, has a few speckles similar in colour but it’s just random splatter compared to the flow of the right side. , (phone photo quality isn’t picking up the difference) but the black is MUCH darker than the black on the right side,

The back of her head was slightly fluffed up from petting her, but when brushed flat it’s almost perfectly following the same line split, and the black dividing line follows all the way down her neck.

I was just super curious, but either way she’s a very beautiful little girl. Unfortunately she moves a lot so I’ve included the best photos I could get

She's a gorgeous little tortie!

"Split face" is a normal phenomenon for tortoiseshell cats, and doesn't indicate that a cat is a chimera.
