Costinea is a floofy moth waddle dee that usually dwells around the fog ring in the abandoned part of the plains reigon. They can usually be seen helping puffs find their way out of the fog, but they have been recently spotted in the plains and the nearby city.
Costinea's powers include Illusion, performed with a pack of playing cards. Getting hit by one of the cards will cause you to experience the illusions, but they can still perform other illusions on a smaller scale without the help of the cards, such as creating copies of themself.
Much like other Halfmoon Lepidoptera, they can spit silk to either slow down or cocoon opponents, but they don't use it as often as they use the cards. They can also enter the dreams of others, usually appearing as a normal moth initially, but they are yet to assume this form in the real world.
About
Back on planet Halfmoon, the local halfmoon lepidoptera noticed some strange freighters leaving the planet. Most of them remained behind, but a few stowed away on the ships, eventually landing on planet popstar in a certain foggy region. Costinea was the offspring of some of these halfmoon lepidoptera, originally appearing as just a regular moth, being the only one to successfully create a cocoon in the larval stage. A short period of time after emerging, they noticed a young puff being dragged deeper into the fog by a very suspicious looking puff. Costinea tried to fly after the child, to which they transformed from a simple moth into a waddle dee. They then trapped the agent in a cocoon and helped the child escape the fog.
A life in the fog
After this experience, Costinea began noticing more young puffs and agents. They tried helping, but the agents simply retaliated with their weapons, they had to take a new approach. Over time they started noticing something off about the fog, such as why it never lifts. Eventually they realised that the fog itself was an illusion and began to see alot clearer through it due to some attunement to the illusion, thanks to being born in it. They were eventually able to create illusions of their own, but more complex illusions would have to be made with the help of a pack of playing cards.
A new light
Not long later, they started noticing one of the puffs just kept coming back, despite not being an agent. No matter what they tried, he saw straight through the illusions, eventually getting curious into what made them. Costinea then realised they were after the same goal, trying to stop who was taking these puffs, but he also wanted to know what was at the core of the fog. He introduced himself as Yujin and told them about the world outside the fog, and the corporation "Xelethor research" who was controlling the fog.
Costinea soon met another puff that also looked like a moth, known as Bejink. It was thanks to her that they settled on calling themself "Costinea" and why they took more trips outside the fog.
Trivia
- The design for this dee is inspired by the white ermine moth.
- The image seen on the right (visible on PC) is a picture I took of the real moth when it was on a wall outside my house.
- How they create silk, I don't know, since they don't have a visible mouth.

Yujin acquaintance
Regardless of what they did, Yujin kept coming back into the fog, as if he was looking for something. Eventually Costinea learned that they were after a similar goal: what is at the center?
Bejink Friend
Bejink was one of Costinea's first friends, probs cause she was also a moth. Bejink was also the one who suggested that they go by "Costinea"
