Hylka
Hylkiia (often in short hand, simply called Hylka - a common lunaki name that's somewhat replacing the long form in their culture) is a white-furred lunaki that has traversed across a few places in the omni-verse. She met the Drifters in an orbital mall, within a recreational stretching facility meant to entertain restaurant guests of a recreate gulpery. She initially challenged a belly-ached dorvan companion to a spine-tense stretching to work out tensions, while Orkayl struggled to hold back a craving to eat her. He accidentally slipped out more of a compliment to cover for his desires, and eventually lead to her coming onto Orkayl, flirting and urging to go along with him and his team. While he dismissed her as a potential later snack, she proved "useful" in either doing small chores, or pleasing him in other ways, lingering on as a bit of an added girlfriend, though she shows no interest in proving herself worthy as a Drifter the same way Sandra came to be. In fact, Kipp actually believes having two(+) girls around has actually made Orkayl more lazy.
She lived most of her life following not too distantly from poaching roots of finding exotic insects, and going into taxidermy to 'collect' and pose them to be favorable for buyers and cross-universal biologist studies. She continues this off & on even on Kyberus, and occasionally rents out a ship to go do her own business deals while her boyfriend is occupied on his own missions. She's able to adapt well to her new home, but has the occasional reservations and curiosities about different worlds and customs, especially finding a great dislike for "impersonal" communication over gadgets and holograms.
Physical Description
Typically a fit lunaki, and proud of her leaner body size. She idealizes the old tales of strong hunters, and great sports through dense woodlands, rather than binging on meat or overly feasting at banquets. Furthermore, she's been self-taught and fascinated with Zeanite style 'back-snapping', and frequently enjoys big stretches, or what some may word it with others as 'social-stretching'. However she isn't as active as she may claim to be. While she's toned, strong at the arms and shoulders, and limber, she's not much of a fighter or full-time athlete. She's also is in denial or shy about how her sweet tooth for chocolates, and a lot of couch time have lead to a fat bottom that barely squeezes into her gym shorts. On the flip-side from her hardened waistline, her lunaki cultured upbringing (and a defensive pride to appear comparatively stronger) has conditioned her to encourage others to over-eat...
Perhaps from canine instinct, Hylka (as with many lunaki) are stimulated mostly by touch and contact. They love warm fur, soft textures, warm blooded contact, a sense of giving or receiving pets or fur-scratches, and prefers her more social peers to be softer and warmer with a hefty figure. When speaking with her lunaki peers, she's quick and outgoing with them, and often eager to exchange traditional greeting belly-rubs. Its not too surprising when she got to learn of exotic alien routines and exercises, she took a particular liking to a stretch that often asked for a peer to be in very close contact. Although straight, she's not shy with other females, but also tends to openly tease them for 'lacking qualities'. When next to a male she's closer to such as her boyfriend, she's clingy with hugs and expects lots of nuzzles, kisses, and steers them to heavy foods.
In more ordinary fashion, she'll wear somewhat standard Sekrotian-lunaki garments. This tends to involve intermixing tougher fibers and comfortable cloth with faux-fur and leather, cropped middles for easy belly rubs and breathable fur, and tribalistic accessories, often wearing a necklace full of tiny stones, claws, and feathers. She's augmented as well, with her paws hosting micro-computers for research, data checks, and small assistance. Yet she's also not afraid to simply go out in her 'flex-kit', which just consists of darker cropped sleeveless top and shorts akin to a common trend for stretchers.
Nicknames & Petnames
Orkayl knows she took keen interest in being compared with a "Snow-angel", so Angel and Snow-angel have stuck. However by proxy of mere appearance, she has also had to endure the somewhat less desired term of "Wolfie". (Mostly by others, but Orkayl has it slip too.)
History
Cassie silently detests the alien a bit, finding some prejudice with the lunaki. Yet she's more reserved about it, and prefers Hylkiia is just given the cold shoulder, and judgmental glares.
History
Hylka enjoys Ashly a bit more than others as a ready stretcher, and Ashly in return is fascinated to learn from this exotic female. Yet underneath it, Hylka still finds her flexible and fit form to be a rivalrous problem among what is already too many females in her opinion.
Nicknames & Petnames
Hylka will sometimes call Ashly "flex", especially when she forgets her true name.
For Ashly, the common term of "Wolfie" is too easy to remember and use. However from her color and figure Ashly has also dubbed her with the nicknames of "Sparkle-dog", and "Blizzard-booty", none of which Hylka particularly likes.
