Keel #2407

Bio

A strange looking esk who is still trying to figure out what her deal is. She was transformed from a skeleton and has nothing of a past life to remember.

Appearance

Keel's appearance and size are variable. In her small form, she's about the size of a guinea pig and in her tall form she's about human sized, but during unstable moments of contortion she can warp her body to much larger sizes. These don't last long, though. Her body is clear and her bones are visible, either in a natural color or bright pink and blue depending on if her elemental is activated or not. If it is, she sports a selection of red alga on her leg, and if it isn't she uses green and brown species.

Origin

Keel was transformed from a skeleton and had always felt the pressure to hold onto whatever part of her was that dead bird, though she never actually felt any connection. For years she'd felt poorly about her identity and her past, not actually trying to build an identity for herself, until she hitchhiked in a researcher's backpack and discovered all the cool antics that human scientists get up to. These days, she still likes to wander aimlessly.

Garden's notes: I was originally planning on redeeming the slot that I got Keel from to use on Lad and give him a pair of wings, but upon some thinking I realized that he doesn't really need them. So, instead, Keel was made.
