Physical Appearance

Species Traits

• Form: Gelatinous colony organism composed of thousands of microorganisms
• Color: Shifts between translucent purple and iridescent blue-green depending on mood
• Appendages: Multiple tentacles (exact number varies based on current task requirements)
• Size: Can expand or contract between 1.5 to 3 meters in height
• Texture: Smooth, gel-like surface with subtle bioluminescent patterns when excited

Distinguishing Features

• Eyes: Twenty optical organs distributed across her form, can focus independently
• Communication Nodes: Glowing patches that pulse when speaking
• Pseudopods: Can form temporary finger-like projections for handling tools
• "Me-Suit": When on solid planets, wears a specialized containment suit with:
  • Transparent bio-mesh material

  • Emergency cohesion field generator

Personality Profile

Core Traits

• Intellectually Curious: Obsessively passionate about ancient civilizations
• Self-Deprecating Humor: Makes jokes about her unusual physiology
• Enthusiastic: Literally vibrates with excitement over discoveries
• Multi-Faceted: Different tentacle clusters have slightly different personalities
• Patient: Developed from years of meticulous archaeological work

Behavioral Patterns

• Tends to gesture wildly with tentacles when explaining complex concepts
• Unconsciously reorganizes her microorganisms when thinking deeply

• Collects "solid" souvenirs from each planet visited

Background & History

Early Life

• Birthplace: Floating city of Vaporia, Zenzia
• Childhood Environment: Gaseous atmosphere, no solid ground
• Education: Galactic Institute of Xenoarchaeology
• Defining Moment: Discovering Hrakka artifact image in Ancestral Archives

Career Milestones

1. First Dig: Fell into Jovian sinkhole simulation, found her calling
2. Aquarion Prime: Discovered time-bubbled library (and its overdue fees)
3. Pyros 9: Developed flame-resistant archaeological techniques
4. High-Gravity Incident: Spent 3 days being reassembled by her team
5. Current: Lead archaeologist on Xyloph 3 Hrakka excavation

Abilities & Skills

Natural Abilities

• Multitasking: Can perform dozens of simultaneous actions
• Shape Adaptation: Adjusts form to fit through tight spaces
• 360-Degree Vision: Twenty eyes provide complete spatial awareness
• Cellular Memory: Can store vast amounts of information across microorganisms
• Regeneration: Can recover lost portions (though it takes time)

Learned Skills

• Xenoarchaeology: Expert in multi-species archaeological techniques
• Linguistic Analysis: Fluent in 47 languages, can decipher dead languages
• Eleven-Dimensional Mathematics: Required for dating Hrakka artifacts

• Cultural Anthropology: Specializes in extinct civilization reconstruction

Relationships & Interactions

Communication Style

• Uses scientific terminology peppered with colloquialisms
• Tends to over-explain when nervous
• Genuinely curious about other species' perspectives
• Asks seemingly naive questions that reveal profound insights

Notable Relationships

• With Humans: Fascinated but bewildered by their "solid" existence
• With AI/Robots: Relates to them as "structured colony organisms"
