Description So yah, I might have forgotten to upload this when it was first finished. *facepalm*

Anyhoozle, this is my Nalariid character. I just had to make one after seeing LonelyOne's awesome designs.
(they're an open species; go ask her if you can make one! : D )

Now, prepare for GIANT wall of text. PREPARE I SAY! > : O


Name: Mnemosyne

Species: Nalariid (armored variant)

Sex: Female

Age: Unknown (ancient)

Length: 84 ft

Weight: 7.5 tons

History: Mnemosyne (Mnem for short) is somewhat of a mystery, a legend in Nalariid society. Many believe she does not even exsists, and few that do have ever seen her. She is said to be a ghost, a phantom that haunts the inbetweens of the dimentional walls, glimpsed only as a shimmer of skin between jumps. She is used by parents to disuede young Nalariid from attempting dimentional jumps before their time, the story going that she will trap you within the empty void of between if you are not experienced.
In actuality Mnem entered the void (semi-permanently) after a failled love affair involving a large political coup caused her to lose everything she held dear. Disgusted with other creatures in general, she decided to go someplace where she would rarely encounter other living beings. This, as with the rest of her past, is shrouded in mystery, and she never speaks of it.

Power(s):
- Interspection (the ability to spend extended periods of time between dimensions and not be physically or mentally harmed)
- Clarvoience (she can hear/see/sense what's going on in any dimension by flying close to its corresponding wall without actually breaching it)

Personality: Mnem is quiet, reserved, and highly antisocial. She is an unending font of historical information and interpersonal tibbets, and is actually quite up to date on the latest trends and political practices. Odd considering she rarely leaves the void. She does not like humans very much, but then again, she doesn't really like other Nalariids either.
If you can prove to be somewhat intelligent in her eyes, assuming you can find her, she might let you in on the innermost secrets of the latest political scandals, or offer up information on the most recent outbreaks of Skinwalkers. Of course, if she finds you annoying, she may force you out into some random, and usually unpleasant, area of space.

Fun facts:
- Mneomosyne is not her birth name, but rather the name she was given by the lucky few who have seen her. She is also known in a more mythical sense as the "Void Walker." Her true name is known only to her.
- Mnem flies in a stange combination of sidewinding and helixing, which, while appearing very graceful, is how you might expect a drunk Nalariid to fly.
- While even she herself has forgotten her age, she is old enough that her skin no longer holds any pigment, just a slight pearlescent sheen similar to marble. Whatever colors/markings she used to posess have faded with age.
- Her armored parts are connected by a thin, but very strong membrane which is highly elastic, alowing her tail to flex and contract any which way without them contantly clanking together.
- Mnem doesn't really eat much, as in her advanced age her metabolism has slowed considerably, but she gains sustenence through her Interspection ability, which allows her to aborb large enough quantities of energy from the void that she does not feel the need to leave in search of food.
- If, during a jump, another Nalariid happens to pop up too close to her, Mnem can get pulled into whichever dimension they're headed for; this being one of the only times she ever exits the void. When this happens she'll occasionally wander about wherever she popped out for a few days, but more often than not she immediately reenters the void after heckling whomever pulled her out for a good couple of hours.
- As she's grown older, Mnem's armor plating has grown greatly in size as well (its lost it's original color, much like her skin), as has the her chin. Mnem... Does not like her pointy pointy chin. Not at all.
- While she usually seems like some wise, mystical deity from another time, when annoyed Mnem shows the old, crotchety woman that she actually is.
- Mnem likes smooth things. Her armored parts are smooth. Thus she spend a large amount of time stroking her tail. 0_o
- She is very sparkly.

hoooolyyyyy freakin cow. I LOVE her! She looks so pretty and majestic, and the delicate looking webbing is just so beautiful. <3 I could spend hours looking at her. <3<3

And her back story and information is very ingenious, I hadn't though of the possibility of one living in the void between the walls and I love that idea very much.

Thank you so much!
I really like her too; she's one of my favorite characters now.
I worked quite hard no her background; hope it doesn't defy any laws of physics within your world?

Thanks!
Well, there are a bunch of different pronounciations of the name. (Mnemosyne was the Greek titan of memory, mother of the fates and muses) I tend to think of it as m-nem-o-sin-ee, though I've heard it said as mem-o-sine, mem-o-sin-ee, m-nem-o-sine, etc.
It's a very odd name. XD

M-nem-oh-sin-ee. Okay! Thank you for clearing that up.
