Profile
worlds fluffiest animal!!!!!!
Stylist with Urban Fabrics Co. Laika is quite talented but happy to remain out of the limelight that Urban Fabrics' video production lends to their designer stars. She does hair, makeup, and accessorizes models for actual shows, but also dolls up everyone who appears on-screen in videos! can't look shabby on film! Hairstyling is her favorite part and she Loves to play with everyone's hair if they'll let her.
Originally from Atala and moved out about two years ago, leaving behind a long-term relationship gone sour from the realization they weren't naive kids anymore. She doesn't necessarily hold any ill will towards her ex but they did say they needed space and ghosted her completely afterwards, and she sure has been heartbroken and alone in a new place for a long time, so her feelings about them are tumultuous at best.
Gregarious and peppy; everyone is Laika's best friend regardless of whether they've met five years ago or five seconds. She has a lot of energy and can easily overwhelm shyer folk, but she's also an expert social read - many years of stylist chatter in the chair has fine-tuned her ability to make others comfortable and give them the power in conversations (and steer it where she wants it to go, if she so desires).
Social Connections
Parfait - bestieessssss eeeee <333
Ersie - brand new friend! admires her skills a lot and can tell she feels safer in her shell
Levi - co-worker. not exactly her boss but a higher echelon, at least. fairly familiar and friendly but he's in charge!
Darius - co-worker at Urban Fabrics. they're not close but she'd recognize him especially since she loves his hair
Species - Spinxyn
Spinx are a terribly mischievous type of sphinx native to Nephfei with a deep love for pranks and fashion. They are magicless, unlike the other species of their world - legend has it they pranked the gods and were punished - and thus are very magically malleable. Because of this, spinx can be cursed or gifted with magic and it affects their bodies drastically.
Spinxyn are identifiable by their heart-shaped faces, sloped banana ribcage, and innate desire to cause problems on purpose.
World Context || Nephfei group <3
A modern fantasy world governed by magical gods, Nephfei is home to four sentient species - harpips, centicorns, merphins, and spinxyn. They live together in relative peace aside from some cultural clashes between locales of differing ideologies. The world has been imbued with magic, in all four species and in the earth itself, but spinxyn have none of their own; revoked by the gods, so they say, as an ancient punishment. With tangible deities, Nephfeism is a prevalent religion amongst the inhabitants, and some religious spinxyn see their situation as deserved punishment, while others deny the gods entirely and rally against this unfair treatment.
Nephfei has a good amount of modern-day technology, though its electricity is replaced by magic. Lighting, household appliances, television, games, and the internet at large all exist with relative similarity to the real world. Despite the societal advancements, though, a significant amount of the world's history and inner workings remain shrouded in mystery and magical secrets...
