design notes:
esk species notes:
- The pink, oval, parts of her body are "cerata." They're an animal trait from nudibranchs. They act similarly to feathers, they can lie flat, or puff up, and they can be shed. Cyrielle always has a few floating around her, as if they've just been shed.
- She has a deer-like body with a longer neck
- Her body is hollow glass, and her electricity elemental sparks inside it
- Her "antlers" are precious coral, part of her community familiar
- Cyrielle's head, neck, and tail have white fur
- Her feet are frosted, white glass
- Her tail is not grey, it's just clear like the rest of her body so it should be drawn light blue or see-through
- Bioluminescent algae floats around her in clumps
esk species notes:
- She has no mouth, nose, or pupils (just solid colored eyes)
- She cannot close her eyes (though esk can squint)
- She only has "false ears," just tufts of fur
- She has three toes on each foot
mysterious reef boundary
Cyrielle's reef is in a remote part of Oceania that's very hard to reach by boat. She's very secretive over her boundary and doesn't often divulge its location to others. Instead, she spends time around the waters of New Zealand when she wants to be social.

elemental and enchantment
electricity elemental, and restorative shock enchantment
Cyrielle's electricity elemental is enchanted. Whenever the electricity touches a living thing it heals them using the restorative shock enchantment. Cyrielle almost always has her enchantment enacted, but she has the ability to turn it off and actually shock others. She rarely does this though, and only uses her elemental in that way if she's trying to protect someone. Most often, she does this to protect animals and marine life from humans. |
Familiars
reef community familiar
Cyrielle's familiars consist of precious coral, box jellyfish, and moon jellyfish. Her precious coral sits on her head and looks like antlers, while her jellyfish float around her. She can talk to all of her familiars, but no one else can hear them. Her jellyfish and coral all carry her enchanted electricity elemental, so they are all able to heal others by touching them.

blessing
amplified whale song (marine biome)
Cyrielle hates that humans have interfered with whale communication. She loves whale culture, and that love is reflected in her blessing. It is easier for them to communicate while Cyrielle is nearby. Her presence amplifies their voices allowing their song to travel further. Insari, Cyrielle's friend and creator, gained the same blessing at the same time after they finished a quest together with other friends. While the two of them are together it can be deafening, which they love.

Cyrielle comes across as intimidating due to her electricity elemental, and the destruction it could cause, especially underwater. She attempts to calm others by explaining that it is enchanted to be restorative and healing.
If an animal is in immediate danger though, she doesn't always have time to explain, and she feels bad about scaring them. Her jellyfish seem to frighten others the most, since it's almost impossible for others to realize her electric jellyfish won't hurt them. When she's around friends, she's goofy and silly. She's a lighthearted, fun esk, but she knows that Insari trusted her to protect her home, so takes that seriously. Cyrielle is secretive, and doesn't like to give others information about the location of her boundary, but she enjoys spending time outside her home, with other esks. She likes the forest biome the most, and goes there a lot to see Insari. |
Insari, with encouragement from Zenzee, transformed a piece of sea glass to protect a small, mysterious reef. Cyrielle burst into existence with intimidating electricity and dangerous, electric jellyfish. Insari was terrified, and thought she'd accidentally brought destruction to the reef. Luckily, she quickly realized that Cyrielle's electricity is enchanted to be restorative and therapeutic. Insari was grateful that Cyrielle agreed to the task of protecting the reef, and Cyrielle joined Zenzee's effort to create a web of healers across the biomes.

Insari • Cyrielle's creator, friend
Insari created Cyrielle in the hopes that she would help her reef boundary thrive. Insari was initially terrified that she'd created some kind of esk monster when she saw Cyrielle's wild electricity, and thought she'd inadvertently destroyed the reef by creating Cyrielle. She was thrilled to learn that Cyrielle's electricity is just intimidating, but actually super beneficial to those around her. |
Zenzee • Friend
Zenzee was with Insari when Insari performed Cyrielle's transformation. Zenzee was the one who brought them to the reef after realizing that it was in danger of being harmed from pollution. Neither of them knew exactly what they were going to do in the reef, but when they saw the lone piece of sea glass Zenzee agreed that they should transform it.
Lyric • Cyrielle created; friend
Cyrielle was feeling a little lonely and decided to take her mind off her loneliness and go on a journey throughout the ocean. This led her to a wide, open abyssal plain. While there she found a giant phantom jelly, which seemed odd since they weren't close to any hydrothermal vents where the jelly might feed. Upon closer inspection Cyrielle saw that the jelly was tangled in some kind of net. Cyrielle tried freeing the jelly using telekinesis, but couldn't do it without harming them. Finally, Cyrielle decided to transform it, creating Lyric. Lyric was much larger than her original form, and she and Cyrielle quickly became friends. They are still very close, and spend long hours sharing stories and discussing life.
Squeak • friend
Cyrielle and Squeak met through Insari, but became closer through a quest in the marine biome. They are both wise but each have a playful, fun side.
