About
Xeno is a shy and sensitive being; they cry easily. They lack much of an ego, but not in a bad way: it's not that they think poorly of themselves, they just don't think of themselves that often. Their mind is simple in a child-like way.
Xeno gets along with others fairly well after being introduced by someone they know/trust (usually Raseri). They enjoy playing with other children as well as adults (if the adults are fun, anyway). They are timid around those they don't know and prefer to stick by Raseri. They're also a curious soul and, while they often approach new things with caution, wonder what they are or how they work. They're distracted easily; they're the kind of kid that would get lost because they strayed too far from the group/home to follow a pretty butterfly.
Xeno can be a little impatient as many children are; they may want something and they may want it now. They will do anything for Raseri's attention and affection.
History
Xeno is a being from space and all they really want is to go back home. It's unknown how they reached Earth or what exactly they are. When asked, they spoke in a language indecipherable by any of Earth's beings; a language that, even when one says the same word twice, it sounds different each time to an Earthling's ears. Their writing is the same: with every blink, the "letters" take a new form. The name "Xeno" was given to them by Raseri, as people had to call them something and no one could understand what their name was when they said it. Xeno picked up on the basics of Earth languages with ease, making communication with them much easier, although they still speak with pauses while trying to speak their thoughts.
Xeno's race has niether genitalia nor any kind of gender identity, leaving the most common pronouns to be used being "They/Them." For Xeno, the next most common are the masculine pronouns He/Him, followed by feminine pronouns, She/Her. Any others are acceptable as well, and Xeno can be presented (visually) anywhere along the spectrum.
It's very difficult for Xeno to convey what their home is like, or what even what their parents look like. While it makes sense to them, other Earthlings have trouble understanding, and Xeno often gets frustrated.
Compared to Earth standards, and especially compared to human standards, Xeno is incredibly old. However, for their race, they are considered a child. For reference, if Xeno was a human, they would be approximately 7 years old.
Trivia
- Wants to go home (space) but doesn't know how to get there
- Will purr when happy
- Their back legs are often cold
- Self-conscious of their "big nose"
- It's unknown how old they really are, but it's incredibly old. However, compared to a human, they're about the same age as a 7 year old
- Their fur poofs up when they're startled; this is especially noticeable with their tail
- When they scream, the sound they emit resembles an ear-piercing banshee screech
- Despite having a skull for a head, they can show various expressions.
Relationships
Raseri took Xeno under her wing after she found them, and has acted as a protective guardian ever since. Xeno trusts Raseri more than anyone else and prefers to stick near her and follow her around, much like a duckling with its mother.
