"Oh my god! ..Don't worry, I think it's fine!" Alyx | 7 | MTF On April 19, 191, only three days after Alyx was born, an ominous, monstrous being had passed over her planet. She had, for a brief second in time, eclipsed the moon, their dark planet's primary light source. Said planet, called Norce (NORKE), has no sun to orbit, and drifts through the cosmos aimlessly, and light only resides through the light and heat given off by the mantle, holes revealing which can be cited less than a mile down. A few shadowy figures had inadvertently landed on the planet, straying from Her Elegance, and were mostly accepted by the community. However, there was a twinge of racism going against them, as they give off darkness rather than light, and a group of Strellan Lupines, Alyx's species, had even provoked violence against them. Alyx herself was quite ashamed of this connection, and became a Shadowborne Rights Activist when she was about three, usually wearing a sign around her neck, as she felt just about in the same boat as them, having repressed her feelings as a transgender, and only coming out to her friends and her protest group members. This lifestyle continued until she turned six, when her parents found out about her identity when she slipped her tongue about not liking her... can I say "biological sex"?? But her parents did have mixed feelings about this reveal, supportive, oddened, and rejective all at once. Feeling especially awkward, she had left the planet using her species' power of flight and personal magic ability to create oxygen clouds that let her breathe in space. She had brought about a month's supply of food to eat, rested on asteroids, and gone to the bathroom just anywhere, seeing it's, well, space. Within a week she had found an odd temple on a deserted planet- probably one taken over by an empire. After tampering with a few props and knocking over a vase, a portal had opened. //the hecc is this??// she thought to herself as she surveyed the landscape beyond the portal- the sky was a much lighter shade of blue- the land below, much brighter. And as the Strellan Lupine was very curious, she had stepped through the grand portal, and promptly found herself on Earth, deciding not to interact with the pale-blue cat and his two companions that passed her. At least not yet. Alyx is a silly being- always making the oddest faces and barging into areas, usually knocking things over while she's at it. Despite her insecurities as a transgender, she is completely secure about almost everything else, even proud to stand up for any oddities she did. She is also quite the flexible being. As the mentally strongest character in her universe, however, she does feel a bit discomforted by less mentally-stable characters, whether this means insanity or depression. This, however, won't stop her from trying to talk to the broken spirits. She may have plans to return to her home in the future, whether near or far.
