Instructions

Name: Krittika Messier Age: 21 Gender: Female Orientation: Bisexual Species: Canis striatus lilium (striped lily-dog) Career: Astrochemist Personality: Krittika is bright and cheerful, always offering a smile and a kind word to those who need them the most. She is perpetually surrounded by an aura of contagious optimism, somehow always bringing out the best in everyone in her immediate vicinity, and possesses a great deal of empathy. Krittika is extremely dedicated to her craft, pursuing her work with a joyful diligence that confounds most of her colleagues, especially considering how astrochemistry is a more or less dead-end career path in a universe as far gone as hers. Though usually happy, Krittika is also incredibly sensitive. Even the slightest insult can bring her to tears, and it’s absolutely impossible to watch sad or heartwarming movies with her—she always breaks down into uncontrollable sobbing. Krittika also has a deep-rooted fear of loneliness and abandonment, stemming from her parents’ departure on the fourth and final Project Phoenix mission. Likes: - cookies, fairy lights, scarves, tea, conspiracy theories Dislikes: - the dark, sad stories, pessimists, the government, flat pillows Other: - Her name is derived from the Old Common words for “violet flower”. “Kryi” means purple or violet, while “tikka” means flower. Her mother, a linguist, thought it was a very creative choice of a name. - She's always been simultaneously fascinated and unnerved by the black void beyond the Dyson sphere. If a fifth Project Phoenix mission had been launched, she would've volunteered—if only to carry on her parents' legacy. - Her favorite film is “Between Stars”—since it’s so crappy and outlandish. Why are the stars so close together? Why are they so big and bright and hot? Why do they cluster in huge, glittery formations called “galaxies”? It's so confusing, but so fascinating. Brief Backstory: Krittika was born in a dying universe, the government was launching its last attempt to relocate the Algiran populace, Krittika's parents went without telling her and never returned, small child was traumatized, etc etc tragic cliche backstory crap yadda yadda screw it i'm not in the mood for this
