Body and Appearance
1. Describe the character's height and build. Is she heavyset, thin, short, rangy? SHORT, she's about 5' tall, petite, thin but not skinny. She is soft to the touch with nice round curves and no sharp angles.

2. How old is she? Adult. The actual measurement of time from when she woke to the world until now is irrelevant. Also I don't know. She appears to be in her early/mid twenties.

3. Describe her posture. Does she carry herself well or does she slouch? Straight but flexible, she carries herself very gracefully and smoothly, as you would hope from someone with the power to walk up vertical surfaces.

4. How is her health? Is she fit or out of shape? Any illnesses or conditions? Any physical disabilities? Fit but casually so. She doesn't work out or anything. No illnesses or disabilities other than those inherent to her race, such as an extreme sensitivity to radiation.

5. How does she move? Is she clumsy, graceful, tense, fluid? Graceful, fluid. Like a ballerina or a crane or some other graceful thing. But there is no economy to her movements, she rarely holds perfectly still. She is perpetually tilting her head, rocking her shoulders, leaning, nodding, moving.

6. How attractive is this character physically? How does she perceive herself in the mirror? She's very pretty in a round-faced ginger kind of way. She knows she looks good, but it is more an intellectual acknowledgement and and awareness of the sort of currency she carries with males by virtue of looking the way that she does rather than any real kind of vanity

7. Describe her complexion. Dark, light, clear, scarred? Light. She's a ginger, and even alien gingers are pale. She has some scarring, though it is pretty much all under her clothes and she has some warm orange skin here and there along with shiny gold scales and freckles everywhere.

8. Describe her hair: color, texture, style. The color is a highly saturated orange-red, normally worn in pretty, tight curls. It is soft and resilient to the touch with thick, strong strands.

9. What color are her eyes? Electric teal. Not even kidding.

10. Does the character have any other noteworthy features? The scales are the most noteworthy, as well as the orange blush her skin takes on when her temperature rises.

11. What are her chief tension centers? Head to toe. You can't miss it when she's really being pushed to the limit.

12. What is the character's wardrobe like? Casual, dressy, utilitarian? Bright colors, pastels, neutrals? Is it varied, or does she have six of the same suit? Bright, bright colors, almost to the point of being obnoxious. She also wears almost thigh-length skirts and sleeveless shirts and often bares her midriff because she don't care, though she will occasionally wear leggings. The scales on her arms and her stomach are sensitive and easily irritated so she doesn't wear fabric over them unless she has to, but cotton shirts are acceptable. She also prefers a woolen cloak to a regular coat because fuck sleeves.

13. Do her clothes fit well? Does she seem comfortable in them? Her clothes fit very well, and she isn't shy, if that's what you mean. She wears her own choices very comfortably.

14. Does she dress the same on the job as she does in her free time? If not, what are the differences? She doesn't really know the meaning of free time. She dresses however she wants whenever she wants because she's not the kind of soldier who wears a uniform and she comes from a place that doesn't do slut-shaming just because a girl wants to wear a little skirt.

15. You knew it was coming: Boxers, briefs or commando? You do not go commando if you are the kind of person who is likely to walk up a wall. She wear cute underwear, thank you very much.

2. How does she normally speak? Loud, soft, fast, evenly? Does she talk easily, or does she hesitate? She is very fluent in her speech and can sometimes speak very quickly, though her default is normally a deliberately paced, even toned voice. Unless she gets annoyed.

3. Does the character have a distinct accent or dialect? Any individual quirks of pronunciation? Any, like, you know, verbal tics? She is a master linguist, her dialect is homogenous.

4. What language/s does she speak, and with how much fluency? All of them. Seriously, she actually speaks the language of everyone she has ever talked to ever. And coming from an interstellar community, that is a lot of languages.

5. Does she switch languages or dialects in certain situations? YES. She can switch on a dime as it suits her fancy, but as for specifics, she likes to curse in Scarran and she speaks Kalishi as a default because it is her mother tongue.

6. Is she a good impromptu speaker, or does she have to think about her words? She is really good on the fly, a master of words.

7. Is she eloquent or inarticulate? Under what circumstances might this change? She is eloquent and quick, and nothing short of a head injury is likely to change that.

Relationships
1. Describe this character's relationship with her parents. She has no parents, she was created in a lab. HOWEVER, there was an elderly Kalish scientist who was with her when she first woke. The old woman took care of her and taught her a lot of things that had not been implanted. She was basically the closest thing Sikozu ever had to a mother and she loved her. Their relationship was very good, close and caring and Sikozu was sorry to leave her when she moved on to her assignment. And now she is most likely dead.

2. Does the character have any siblings? What is/was their relationship like? No siblings, per se, unless the other bioloid Resistance members count. When she comes in contact with one, the relationship is as close as any she experiences. It is also generally brief and bloody.

3. Are there other blood relatives to whom she is close? Are there ones she can't stand? No relatives.

4. Are there other, unrelated people whom she considers part of her family? What are her relationships with them? Her people are her only family and she is devoted to them beyond a care for her own life or anyone else's. But no one specific, no.

6. Does she have other close friends? Honestly, no.

7. Does she make friends easily, or does she have trouble getting along with people? Oh yeah, she's a cuddly teddy bear. She has trouble getting along with people, mostly because she is extremely focused and has no time to waste on idiots. The idiots don't tend to appreciate that sentiment. But aboard Moya, the rampant mistrust the rest of the crew has for her, resulting mostly from a few misunderstandings and blind judgements, creates a wedge between her and everyone else on board, so she can't become truly close with any of them because of their prejudices.

8. Which does she consider more important: family or friends? Family. The end.

9. Is the character single, married, divorced, widowed? Has she been married more than once? Single in that she is not married. She was in a very committed relationship, but that ended horribly. Seriously, planets were destroyed.

10. Is she currently in a romantic relationship with someone other than a spouse? Not currently involved in any romantic relationships. Considering her last one, if she wasn't already dead she would be foreveralone.

11. Who was her first crush? Who is her latest? Her first crush was a male bioloid maturing concurrently with her in the secret facility. Young fresh feelings that she didn't really know what to do with. In canon, she had a wee crush on John before Scorpius. She also has complicated feelings for Jothee, though she would not call them a crush. He could be useful. Plus that jerk beat her at tadek so she has to snark at him. It's like pigtails in the inkwell.

12. What does she look for in a romantic partner? I N T E L L I G E N C E. If you're not a genius, you need not apply.

13. Does the character have children? Grandchildren? If yes, how does she relate to them? If no, does she want any? AHAHAHAHAHAA no. In fact, she is not capable of reproducing.

14. Does she have any rivals or enemies? Too many to count. But all of them are very complicated.

15. What is the character's sexual orientation? Where does she fall on the Kinsey scale? She is sapiosexual for the most part, and pansexual as a backdrop to that. She actually quite likes getting physical with people of other species, so the pan there really means pan, like everything. She does tend to lean slightly more towards males for a few reasons, not the least of which is that they tend to be a little easier to seduce.

16. How does she feel about sex? How important is it to her? She enjoys sex very much, but it is not high on her list of priorities. If she sees an opportunity she will gladly take it, but it is rarely a driving force behind any of her actions.

17. What are her turn-ons? Turn-offs? Weird bedroom habits? Turn ons are still intelligence. Also aggression, in moderation, because she likes to be handled roughly and she enjoys the occasional struggle for dominance. She likes to bite and scratch, is that weird? Also she definitely uses her gravity shift in bed. And other places.

2. Is this character religious, spiritual, both, or neither? How important are these elements in her life?

3. Does this character have a personal code of morals or ethics? If so, how did that begin? What would it take to compromise it?

5. What prejudices does she hold? Are they irrational or does she have a good reason for them?



Daily Life
1. What is the character's financial situation? Is she rich, poor, comfortable, in debt? Comfortable. She always seems to have enough money to get by and get what she wants.

2. What is her social status? Has this changed over time, and if so, how has the change affected her? Her race was subjugated by the Scarrans for many generations, slaves in all but name, so you could say that she was born into slavery. Through her own actions her people were freed from servitude to the Scarrans, but the same actions that made her a free being also made her an exile from her people and then, indirectly, a sole survivor and finally a war hero.

3. Where does she live? House, apartment, trailer? Is her home her castle or just a place to crash? What condition is it in? Does she share it with others? Wherever she lives is just a place she sleeps and keeps her things. She doesn't care much about the size or the amenities. If it serves its purpose, it is acceptable. But she won't live anywhere dirty. Her living space is always neat, with exception of whatever project she may be in the middle of.

4. Besides the basic necessities, what does she spend her money on? Books, chemicals, test tubes, whatever she needs for her experiments.

5. What does she do for a living? Is she good at it? Does she enjoy it, or would she rather be doing something else? She was working for the Organization as an agent. Her job there was to take assignments and become an expert in whatever field was handed to her. And she was excellent at it. Too good, in fact. She enjoyed it, as she enjoys learning in all forms, and surpassed all other agents of her type on her first assignment. Her true calling, though, is as an agent of the Kalish Resistance. And she was too good at that, too.

6. What are her interests or hobbies? How does she spend her free time? Science! Reading! She spends all of her free time learning and experimenting and discovering new things in whatever ways she can.

7. What are her eating habits? Does she skip meals, eat out, drink alcohol, avoid certain foods? She is the queen of weird eating habits. Firstly, being that she is Kalish, she only needs to eat 10 times a year. When she does sit down for a meal, she eats an excessive amount, like five or six huge plates full. She rarely drinks alcohol and never in excess because it would take a week for her to metabolize it and she hates apples.
