Backstory: Keth’rielle was born in the underbelly of Highspire, raised in an orphanage in the slums suspended beneath the city’s lower islands where the walkways creaked above the abyss. As a child they rarely slept. Instead, they wandered the crowded dormitories at night, feeding quietly on the emotions and dreams leaking from sleeping minds. Fear, grief, longing, joy, each had its own taste.

As they grew older, Highspire became overwhelming. The city pulsed with emotion, ambition in the upper towers, desperation in the smoke-choked streets below. Keth’rielle survives by performing beneath flickering wanderlite lamps, drawing crowds with eerie melodies while quietly feeding from the feelings stirred within them.

Appearance: Tall and slender with an unnatural courtly elegance, with opalescent chitin, that shifts in muted purples, blues and silvers. Four arms that move with balletic grace, each gesture smooth, deliberate and strangely beautiful.

They stand with posture that is eerily still and predatory, with golden eyes that shimmer hypnotically, drawing those foolish enough to look in. They have delicate looking mandibles, that click with a melodic and musical cadence. When they shift the patterns and colours of their carapace, the colours melt into shadow.

Personality: Keth'rielle is quiet, eerily patient, and watches others with a predatory focus. He tries to be polite but never gets it right, creating an odd mix of charm and discomfort.

Emotions and dream fascinate them deeply, so much so that he feeds on them. He forms attachments to those whose dreams and emotions belong too.
