About
Stellar Academy · Student Orientation File Character Record · Vampiric Sector Elyra Nocthread Cross-Species Behavioral Studies and Occult Biology Vampiric Sector Occult Biology Allow me to introduce… Elyra Nocthread is one of the first Velnari formally admitted into Stellar Academy after the Goblin Empire recognized her species as fully sapient and non-hostile. Her humanoid appearance is only an external shell. Beneath it exists a far stranger living anatomy of sensory eyes, articulated limbs, tendrils and organic structures that make many people instinctively uncertain around her. Elyra came to Stellar not to prove that she is harmless, but to study, live and be treated as a person without needing to apologize for what her body happens to be. Elyra, in Her Own Words “You may look. I only ask that you do not pretend you are not curious. I find honesty much easier to understand than frightened politeness. And... if you truly are not afraid of me, I would like to know what that feels like for a little longer.” Student Profile Race Velnari Age 22 Major Cross-Species Behavioral Studies and Occult Biology Imperial Status Recognized Sapient Species · Academic Access Authorized Academic Interest Non-Humanoid Biology, Social Adaptation and Cross-Species Trust Distinctive Trait Her humanoid shell conceals a visibly non-human Velnari anatomy Personality and Vocation Elyra is soft-spoken, observant, patient and remarkably considerate. Years of people watching her carefully taught her to notice fear, hesitation and discomfort almost immediately. Her appearance has changed considerably since arriving at Stellar. Her current humanoid shell has long white-and-pink hair, a visible magenta eye and modern black, white and pink clothing built around the silhouette of a layered dress. Beneath and around that shell, articulated limbs, tendrils and sensory structures remain visibly Velnari. Elyra studies unusual biology partly to understand herself and partly because she wants species like hers to eventually be approached with curiosity before fear. Her behavioral studies focus on how trust, body language and unfamiliar anatomy affect relationships between different peoples. Recorded Moment · Please Do Not Call Security During a biology practical, one of Elyra's secondary limbs emerges automatically to retrieve an instrument she cannot reach. Half the room freezes. Elyra freezes immediately afterward, quietly preparing herself for the reaction she has experienced countless times before. The professor simply asks whether that limb provides tactile feedback. Elyra needs several seconds before realizing the lesson is continuing. Recorded Moment · You Can Sit Closer Elyra spends much of her first weeks automatically leaving extra space between herself and other students. When someone deliberately chooses the seat beside her rather than one farther away, she initially assumes they misunderstood the available seating. Learning that they simply wanted to sit with her becomes a memory she treasures far longer than the other person probably realizes. How to Recognize Elyra on Campus Long white-and-pink hair, magenta eyes and a modern layered dress in black, white and pink immediately distinguish her current shell. Dark articulated limbs and curling sensory appendages may be visible behind or around her even when she tries to keep them close. She frequently gives people slightly more personal space than necessary and waits for permission before approaching or touching anything. When genuinely comfortable, her auxiliary limbs relax visibly and stop remaining tightly folded behind her. Note from the General Dean “O-HO-HO-HO-HO! I have encountered many things that people initially considered frightening simply because they did not understand them. Miss Nocthread is hardly the strangest. His Imperial Majesty personally authorized the Velnari for civilian academic integration after confirming their intelligence, emotional capacity and non-hostile nature. That authorization allows Elyra through our gates. Whether she feels that she truly belongs here, however, depends on something no decree can manufacture: the willingness of ordinary people to meet her as a student before deciding she is a monster. Stellar Academy can provide the opportunity. I expect our students to decide what they do with it.” — Veridia Aurum General Dean of Stellar Academy Stellar Academy · Vampiric Sector Student Registry
