Species: Avium (Not to be confused with Avian, which are flying beings from Earth)

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION
Profta has a fairly human-appearing physique at first glance, if one was far enough away to not notice the lack of arms, hair, or all around clothing. She has no need for cloths to cover herself, and she finds them both uncomfortable, and almost insulting to the animals she treasures so dearly; as is part of her job. Beside the abnormally smooth, light grey (bordering on blue) skin, she has pointed ears that twitch when she is paying special attention to someone. When not moving to express emotion or otherwise communication, they are almost always as close to her head as possible, for reasons unknown. It is theorized that it is to protect her ears from any danger lurking in the innocent guise of low hanging branches, but she herself has neither confirmed, nor denied these theories.
She is completely hairless, but has been seen wearing both a wig, and a long jacket when imitating human beings, as to research those specific species. However, one of the two larger distinguishing features for her would be her larger, third eye. It is normally closed, but will open when she speaks into a specific being's mind, or when she is too surprised to close her other two eyes. Oddly enough, this eye is close to useless, and while it has both an iris (a light blue color), and a pupil, we do not believe she can actually see out of it. The reason it had been kept throughout her species' evolution is a mystery.
The second distinguishing factor would be not only the lack of arms, but the inclusion of four tentacle-like appendages that stem from her back. When not in use, she will wrap them around her torso to make sure they are uninjured as she moves in her usual slow manner. It is almost certain that these could be used as weapons, but we have never seen anything that alludes to her or her species being violent in any way.
Lastly, she has a set of scars left by stitches in the back of her head, the origin being unknown, and she has a sort of microchip-looking thing attached to her neck. It is believed that this piece stems back to her brain, and may be a sort of translator both for how she hears, and how she is heard. This is backed up by the fact that when she speaks, she does not move her mouth at all, and instead seems to project her thoughts onto those around her. She refuses to explain the technology, or the origin of this mechanism.
PERSONALITY
When found, the woman-appearing being was sitting in the backyard of a small town farmer. She was acting extremely caring and compassionate to the foxes, coyotes, and sheep alike, and seemed to be keeping said animals calm. All three eyes closed, but tentacle appendages constantly undulating, she was a terrifying sight for both the farmer and our team. We had expected her to be violent when we came closer, but she simply offered us a seat and began chirping, much like a fox. After twenty minutes, we believe, we regained consciousness to find that we had agreed to allow her to stay unharmed, and to conduct her research. No one remembers making the deal exactly, but everyone had small fragments of memories.
She was generally very quiet, keeping her voice close to a whisper for most of the time she spoke; her voice only raising when we came close to injuring an animal. Oddly enough, she seemed to know much about our Earthy beings, as well as quite a bit on the topic of human beings themselves. Apparently not one to ever really give up the opportunity to have hands-on research, she has been staying with a variety of humans from our department, as to gather her data and hopefully to help speed her due date for leaving ever closer. For now, not much is known about any sort of hidden personality. We do believe she is genuinely kind to all living beings, and feels a sort of need to protect them, as we've observed.
PERSONAL HISTORY
Write a few paragraphs about your character's background; like how they may have grown up and what significant events define them as a person. You may include information about family and friends here; as well.
We know close to nothing of her past, but we have gathered small tidbits here and there that she had happened to slip out:
She has an equivalent of a sister on her home planet, though her name is yet unknown.
She has interest in a select few humans, and has alluded that they remind them of friends "back home".
She is a worker sent to research living beings on our planet, as well as others, but we believe she was marooned here.
We believe she belongs to a higher class family, if her planet was built upon a class system, but she hasn't talked about that yet.
She has a friend who works in technology "at home", and has been seen talking about him in Spanish, French, and Russian around an English scientist.
She will seem to break down when
1. Forced to wear clothes with sleeves and no holes in the back. They remind her of how different she is, and how she cannot have the "human experience", we've gathered.
2. Pushed to being embarrassed, or angered by violence against other living beings.
These are the only times a substance that resembles tears are seen, and the only time we are able to see the inside of her mouth and try to figure out why she has an extra set of fangs when she doesn't seem to really eat any sort of meat.
