APPEARANCE DETAILS
Appearance:
Lynvil resembles human women a lot, though she has some differences that make it noticeable that she's an alien.
The proportions of her body is one of those things. Lynvil is very tall for a human of her age, standing at 6'4". Her legs alone take half of her height, while arms are same length as legs when feet and hands are not included in the counting.
Her feet mostly look like another pair of hands and as such Lynvil can really use them that way. The only difference between human and her hands is that she has no nails.
Lynvil's neck can be called 'long' by a human, but her people considered it very short. Her face is rounded, framed with pale, almost white hair. It's not easily noticeable, but Lynvil has three lips. Still, it looks as if she has a deformed upper lip. Her lower lip seems very like human's and is thick, but her upper "lip" is somewhat different. It consists of two smaller lips that meet in the middle. The left one is thick, too, while the one on the right is very thin. Lynvil doesn't separate the upper lips unless when eating, as she has noticed that humans don't do such thing. Unfortunately, as Lynvil doesn't separate the lips, her smile seems faked. Her people smile by just separating the upper lips to show their teeth completely created for vegetarian diet.
Lynvil has small, pointy nose which some people don't even notice... Not next to her very big rounded eyes that rarely blink. The color of the irises is greenish, although it's so light, it's almost transparent. Over the day, Lynvil's pupils are so tiny they're practically invisible, since her home planet is much darker.
Her hair is very light, almost white, and it is short. A 'boyish' haircut, they say. But that is mostly because long hair was a drawback in life at her home planet. Under the pale hair are her small, yet pointed ears. Her voice is soft and quiet, mostly resembling the whispers.
Clothing Style:
As for the uniform, no matter whether the other students are in summer or winter uniforms, Lynvil always wears the one for summer. Outside the school, she wears the same clothes she's supposed to wear in the gym. Nothing specific to be said about her style.
Special Accessories:
Around her wrists Lynvil wears dark green ribbons to remind her of her home. Both of the ribbons have black pebbles from planet Enashi on the ends.
Also, over day, Lynvil wears sunglasses... Although they don't look good on her face. They are more there in order to help her see more clearly.
In order to fit into society, Lynvil wears shoes and gloves all the time. Even on her feet, she has gloves instead of socks.
PERSONALLY
Over-all Personality:
Even though she rarely speaks, Lynvil likes to be in large groups. That's the way it is with her people. On Enashi people form big groups that consist of two or three families (who function as one and usually they don't have mating relationships among themselves) in order to defend themselves from predators. Lynvil, as a young creature, still doesn't speak much, as she was taught by her riser that children have to listen, even if they don't plan on obeying. She often does that.
She is gentle and patient, which are normal characteristics of her gender. Also, Lynvil is very energetic, moving a lot. The higher she climbs, the better, especially if she's climbing a tree.
The girl is very curious, especially when it's about things in this 'new' world. Not rarely you can find her staring at something with a face that shows how much she's trying to understand how things function on Earth. People had even saw her poking things she's unfamiliar with. She learned not to touch wires the harder way...

BACKGROUND
History:
Lynvil was born on planet Enashi as the member of Cataxly clan. She was born to third gender, the risers. Her own riser, Calmoxe, was huge person who took care of her and an another child at the same time. The other child, Dreodel, was a boy she often fought with in order to prove that Calmoxe loved her more (while he tried to prove that he was to more loved one).
Her home, just like the homes of all Enashians, was high in the tree. Still, it wasn't the highest, as the highest home always belonged to the ruling trio. Her world seemed normal (by Enashian norms). She played games on something similar to the computer, she took care of plants, she played with other children and she went to education room from time to time.
While she was only ten years old, Enashian spaceship found a satellite dumped by people from Earth. Enashians and people from other planets were intrigued by the music packed in rounded discs and other things they found on the satellite. However, the galaxies recognized the machine as an item sent from the Ora II, second of thirteen 'insecure' planets that have technologically intelligent life on them. Many years ago one of the smaller spacecrafts crashed there and none of the scientists who were their, even though some of them had survived the crash, managed to get to the rescue ships sent in the matter of days.
Enashians, even though they listened to the reasons and understood them, decided to send research team to the planet known in galaxy is Ora II. The team was made from three persons in three one-person space crafts. However, they had to train young ones to use the flying crafts that were to be made specially for this quest.
For over twenty Enashian years Lynvil was one of numerous young people who were trained for surviving in unknown lands. The girl was determined to leave the planet and even in her free time, along with taking care of her plants, she was preparing herself for the voyage.
Finally, when she was 34, everything was ready for the expedition. Amongst many young people, three were to be chosen. After rigorous tests, it was decided who will go to Earth. Lynvil, Dreodel and a girl called Imblaim were chosen.
The voyage itself was nothing special and, after the starting excitement, Lynvil was quite bored and worked on learning everything galaxies managed to find out about Ora II before the crash.
Finally, after half a year, counting as Enashian, some meteor rains and running out of fuel, Lynvil finally reached Earth. She, unable to control the craft, fell into the ocean near an island. As a person who didn't know how to swim, Lynvil had luck to be saved by some local humans.
Strange coincidence was that right here was some sort of 'academy' for the 'gifted' people. Her biggest problem here was that Lynvil didn't speak any of the native languages, so confusion and irritation were constant in her life until she learned to speak English enough to communicate with 'humans'.
*There will be more of Lynvil's history and planet in Memoirs.
Secrets:
§ She belongs to the 'third gender' of her planet. She is not male - Lynvil doesn't have male reproductive organ, neither the size and built of the man ('protector' as they call men on Enashi). She's not female - she doesn't have female reproductive system, nor she's petite enough to be the gatherer (as they call women on her planet). Instead, she's the one to nurse the offspring, keeping them warm in something similar to the pouch on her belly. She isn't able to procreate.
§ Even before coming to Earth, Lynvil got addicted to rock. She heard it when her people found an abandoned spacecraft flying around that contained some strange rounded discs that played music when put in a machine in the very same spacecraft. Ever since the spacecraft was brought to Enashi, that music was played in the homes that resembled cafes here on earth.
§ Lynvil was sent to Earth in order to learn about their culture and if their technology is high enough to join the intergalactic community.
§ There are two more people from Enashi here on Earth.
Gift:
Lynvil basically isn't a gifted creature. She's simply an alien who was sent to the Earth.
