Profile LM-132: Shani

xe/xem | agender aroace grayromantic

shani is a mischievous luminite and a trouble maker at heart, yet very cautious. xyr caution doesn't stop xem from breaking rules and doing things xe shouldn't, it just makes xem far more careful when xe does. though xe seems at first a shy and charismatic lumi, xe will quickly change your perspective on them once you get to know xem better.

 xe is introverted, but can still enjoy social situations. xyr outward impression to most seems charming, funny, and kind, if not a teensy bit self-centered. because of this first impression, xe can be very persuasive. getting even a little bit closer to xem, though, will reveal xyr second layer: an absolute shithead who is a lot self-centered- or at least seems to be. xe has a bit of an superiority complex left from being viewed as a god to the planets that orbited the star xe used to be.

shani doesn't really like deep connections with others, and only has a couple of real friends that xe keeps close. xe hates sharing personal details about xemself even with those close friends. however, those who xe really trusts get to know the parts of xem that xe tries to hide often. xe tends to be a bit self-deprecating and doesn’t really see xemself as a good person, though xe says that’s a good excuse to continue causing problems, if xe’s already not good. xe still carries the guilt of having killed so many people in multiple planets when xyr star went supernova and created xem. shani likes to pretend it doesn't bother xem, but it does. a lot. one of the only people right now who's close enough to xem to know all this is lux, who practically pushed her way into xyr life and now is basically xyr best friend, as much as xe grumbles about it.

the bits of stardust on xyr leg are scars from a fight xe got in once! there are multiple instances where xe’s gotten xemself into fights that xe couldn’t get out of, though xe does also talk xyr way out of quite a few fights. the other bits of stardust on xyr face and neck have always been there, and xe can get particularly braggy sometimes about how pretty xe thinks that makes xem look.

[ design note: xe has stripes on xyr other back leg i swear, i just.... forgor 2 draw them 😭😭 they look the same as the other leg stripes do!!! ]
