• Abalone has been a member of Caviar’s crew since she was 16. The rest of the crew adore her and are very protective.
• Abalone has a higher tolerance for spicy foods than most people.
• Abalone is prone to secondhand embarrassment, and hates when media utilizes it for comedy.
• Abalone has a strong sense of right and wrong, with powerful moral principles.
• Abalone doesn’t have the same aversion to eye contact that many autistics have, though it still takes a bit of effort.
• Abalone often has trouble finding things, but can remember with perfect clarity where every single ingredient and implement in the kitchen is. There are very obvious labels around the ship to help her with this.
• Abalone tends to handle cleaning the kitchenware herself. Not because anyone is forcing her to work alone, she's just very particular about how the job gets done.
• Abalone was orphaned at a very young age, with her parents dying in a house fire. Emergency responders barely did a thing on account of them being from the Lower Cities.
• Abalone does suffer from meltdowns on occasion, the most common causes being extreme sensory overload, sudden major changes in plans, or basic needs (food, sleep, etc.) being unmet for too long.
• Abalone has stealthily signed “fuck you” to Oyster once.
• Abalone would be interested in getting a tattoo if it weren’t for her phobia of needles.
• Abalone dislikes comedies due to finding the humor unappealing most of the time.
• Though she was never officially adopted, Caviar sponsored Abalone when she was an orphan, ensuring that she had food, clothes, medical care, and a roof over her head. When she turned 18, he even got her a house in her name on the mainland. He could have easily gotten her a home in the Republic proper, but Abalone wanted to stay close to her friends in the Lower Cities. He did, however, put her up near the “middle ground” where the conditions are nicer.
