To The Stars!
Art belongs to the owner of this character.An adventurer, traveler, and Space Captain! Sort of.
Her love has always been in the stars. From a young age, she had wanted to be an explorer. It was early days for her kind, and space exploration was still new to her people. It was her greatest wish to one day become one of the illustrious pioneers blasting off into the great unknown. Unfortunately for her; Being an astronaut, even as a species who aren't very technologically advanced, requires a certain amount of intelligence. And what she had in a gung-ho spirit and can-do attitude; She severely lacked in basic common sense. She had a knack for getting herself into situations that she could not (at least easily) get herself out of. Often becoming cornered in a cave by the monsters who live there when only looking for coal; Or stranding herself on an island in the middle of a lake of magma after knocking a hole in the wrong place with her pick-ax. And yet - Near constant failure did nothing to squash her positive attitude.
Of course; All that would change on the day she tried to save her planet. No; She had not found some sort of hidden brain power somewhere in the depths of her thick skull. What happened instead was; In trying to combat the oncoming ice age of her planet, she brought about it's ultimate destruction. She'd managed to escape to a space ship just in time to see the planet being ravaged and speeding away quickly. She never knew exactly how it ended - She'd always been too ashamed to return to find out. Not to mention fearful of the punishment that would come with responsibility. Though she'd spent many years in frozen hibernation (she isn't clear how many years, since she was asleep and didn't really know how to work the hibernation chamber), this fear still haunts her. The one dark spot on an otherwise sunny mind.
She generally loves meeting new people of all races. If you're friendly, most likely she will be friendly towards you, too. The only sort of people she doesn't like are cowards, introverts, and the Florans. Cowards and introverts are almost guaranteed to drag an exploration expedition down. When she has to dive into a cave or hop around an asteroid field looking for rare ores or monsters to fight; She can't find any reason why she would want someone there who isn't going to enjoy it. The Florans, on the other hand, are a different story. She doesn't trust the plant people - She'd seen too many of her own kind fall prey to these creatures to befriend them. She doesn't trust the Glitch, the robot people, either. This is mostly because, politically correctness be damned, she doesn't consider them people. If she were to make a quote on the subject, it'd be "I'm not friends with my socket wrench or the computer monitor, either."

A Word on Avians
Avian culture revolves around the worship of Kluex, the winged god of the Aether. Kluex was originally a prominent judge and ruler of the Avians who played a critical role in the Avian's advancement into the space age: some years after his death, he was deified by his people.
Avians believe they were stripped of their wings as punishment for entering the mortal world and will only regain their wings in the afterlife should they achieve absolution through worship. Throughout their history Avians have always been a primitive race, making little scientific progress. Avian numbers were beginning to dwindle when a superior race took pity and bestowed the gift of advanced technology upon them. This new found tech allowed the Avians to flourish and spread across the universe, building temples of worship as they go.
Avians soldiers are trained from birth to be fierce warriors and will protect their temples at any cost. Avian weaponry may look primitive at first glance, but the incorporation of advanced technology makes them particularly formidable. Avian generals forge wings for themselves that function much like jetpacks.
Though rare, Avians have been known to stray from their religious culture. Dubbed the grounded, these Avians become outcasts and find solace amongst other races.
Avians resemble a cross between birds and humans, favoring the latter. The Avians were visited by extra-terrestrials and synthetically evolved early in their cultural history. It is not documented if Avians ever had the ability to fly, or if they lost this ability once they had evolved; but it remains apparent that they retained a natural longing for the skies.
