design notes:
esk species notes:
- Her horns are made of turquoise stone
- Her legs change color depending on her mood. Orange is her baseline, but any heightened emotion will change the color to blue.
- Her foot tufts are similar to those on a poodle
- Her tail is made of sand. She doesn't have a sand elemental, so she can't totally control it, but it is flexible. Her tail can sort of wag back and forth
- The tiny star orbiting her cactus is her "star of tranquility" enchantment
- The stars in her sand tail are the "healing touch" enchantment
- She and her familiar leave paths of glowing green/yellow plants where they walk thanks to the life elemental
esk species notes:
- She has no mouth, nose, or pupils (just solid colored eyes)
- She cannot close her eyes (though esk can squint)
- She has three toes on each foot
fan palm oasis boundary
Her boundary is in an oasis in Joshua Tree, California.

elemental
life
Oasis was inspired by how her creator, Súice, aids her boundary with her elemental. Oasis wanted to do the same, and she developed this ability.
The elemental allows her to grow plant life at will within her vicinity. Plants also grow where she and her familiar walk, and they’re created with a light green/yellow glow around them. The plants would be appropriate to the environment, so succulents in the desert, seaweed in the ocean, etc. This elemental also heals injured animals.

enchantments
healing touch
Small stars twinkle in her sand tail. Anyone who touches her sand is healed from physical or mental pain. She wanted to develop this enchantment after helping animals during a wildfire.
star of tranquility
Oasis doesn't have clear memories from her time as a turquoise pendant, but she can remember the restorative properties turquoise provides. She knew from her early days as an esk that she wanted to provide those properties to others again. That led to the manifestation of this enchantment.
A tiny star orbits her prickly pear cactus nature feature. It brings wisdom in the form of mindfulness and clarity of thought to those near her.

blessing
helpful currents (marine biome)
Makoa noticed that Oasis is not a strong swimmer. He gave her this blessing so the ocean would help push her, and others, where they need to be.

Oasis was innocent and optimistic as a young esk, and she still brings that hopefulness into her life, but with more wisdom and knowledge now.
Early on, she missed the restorative, healing properties that she embodied as a turquoise pendant. She worked hard to manifest enchantments and an elemental that could allow her to have those qualities again. She also manifested a little ringtail cub familiar named Mirage, or Mira for short. Oasis is thoughtful and kind. Similar to her creator, Súice, she works hard to fight pollution and climate change in, and around, her boundary. She's a proud member of the international network of healers Zenzee is working to connect. Oasis loves the desert, and loves her home, though she enjoys traveling. She likes going to the Conservatory as a "vacation," and as an easy way to avoid humans. |
Oasis was created by accident when Súice found a mesmerizing, turquoise pendant in the sand. Súice was still new to being an esk, and scared herself when she performed the transformation. Oasis helped calm her down, and Súice realized that Oasis didn't resent her.
Súice's calming presence made her a great mentor, and Oasis felt lucky. She learned as much as she could from her, despite Súice not even knowing how to do certain esk things, like levitate. Oasis decided she wanted to help animals and esks, and maybe even humans, in the same way that Súice was dedicated to preserving her own boundary. Oasis missed the calming qualities that her turquoise could embody. |
As a piece of turquoise she could bring cleansing energy to others, help them communicate, and offer balance and wisdom. She found that she wanted to do all those things as an esk, too.
Oasis felt even more helpless watching a wildfire devastate the area around her boundary. She had known she wanted to help others, but she felt truly useless at the enormity of the disaster. Still, she found a way to provide relief by pulling small animals out of harm's way. While doing so she met other esks who used their abilities in creative ways to help put out the fire. Afterwards, she became friends with two of those esks, Zenzee and Insari. Oasis was also surprised to find she'd manifested a little ringtail cat familiar, similar to one she'd saved from the fire. She named her Mirage, or Mira.

Zenzee became another mentor for Oasis, and kept her connected to the network of healers Zenzee had been building across the world. Over time, Oasis developed a life elemental that was perfectly in tune with her goals. Her healing abilities grew when she developed her healing touch enchantment that sparkles through her tail. Lastly, small star manifested, orbiting her cactus. She found that it brings clarity and wisdom, very similar to the properties of turquoise.
Oasis feels like herself with these enchantments and elementals, and works hard to fight for her beloved biome. She feels a strong sense of connection to the oasis, but also the whole desert. |
Súice • Oaisis' creator; friend; she looks up to her as her mentor
Oasis thinks Súice is a great mentor, even though she was created accidentally. Súice had some anxiety about it at first, but Oasis assured her that she's comfortable and likes being an esk. Súice taught her as much as she could, and helped her figure out her goals for the future. Zenzee • Close friend; mentor Zenzee and Oasis met in the middle of a wildfire. Oasis thought she was fanning the flames, but quickly learned that she was helping to put them out. Afterwards, she asked Zenzee to teach her how to put out fires in the future, and Zenzee became another mentor for her. Zenzee also connects Oasis to the network of healers she's building across the world. Insari • Friend Oasis met Insari during the same wildfire where she met Zenzee. Insari's kind, gentle storytelling made Oasis feel comfortable around her immediately. Oasis respects her and looks up to her. |
Roo • Friend
Roo's boundary sits near Oasis' and they struck up a close friendship. Roo is straightforward and also easy to get along with, so they became quick friends.
Luna • Friend
Luna was a sheep displaced by a wildfire before Zenzee transformed her. Luna is sweet, and gentle, and Zenzee introduced her to Oasis. Since then, the two have become close friends, and like to spend time wandering California together, or lounging by the beach.
Enkira • Friend
Enkira and Oasis initially met through Zenzee while they were all fighting a wildfire. Enkira didn't pay much attention to Oasis for awhile, but over time she saw how dedicated Oasis was to providing good in the world. Eventually Enki softened to her, and the two formed a deep bond. Oasis is very hard to dislike and Enki doesn't feel threatened by her in anyway.

Aleriya • Friend
Aleriya met Oasis through Zenzee since Zenzee is her mentor. Aleriya feels a maternal instinct over Oasis in the same way that Zenzee does, though she doesn't really teach Oasis anything. She just offers support where she can, and she likes to see Oasis grow. They became closer through the marine biome event. Ever • Friend Ever and Oasis also met through Zenzee. Oasis is a little intimidated by her, and Enkira is amused by this, but they work well together. |
