Hey its my bae, Shihosu!
on the gender, Shihosu is a member of the keiphin species, and their physical sex is much more of a spectrum in their species, and few fall to either extreme, many being in between, so i felt as she identifies with she her pronouns, she doesn't specifically identify as a woman. Aliens? how do they work?
In bright lights she, and all coastal Keiphins, flesh becomes semi-transparent enough to see her organs and bones, so Shihosu began wearing clothes when around non-keiphins to reduce discomfort.
her prestory is below!

On the planet of Frenran, on the coast to the west, Shihosu was born. She was a coastal Keiphins, a off shoot of the oceanic Keiphins spieces, where instead of living deep within their ocean, lived on the land, in the swampiest areas along the seaside.

In her youth Shihosu was stuck and impaled through her chest by a barb, by the time her mother, Bonya, found her, whatever had caused this was long gone, but so was Shihosu.

Naturally, Bonya let out a deep wail of distress for some time, unknowingly attracting the attention of a demigoddess, Octovar. Bonya did not recognise her though, Octovar had spent most of her time in the deeper ocean, serving the creatures of this region, while those who had left the water were lucky if anyone in their living generations who had seen her, there were no confirmed sightings of the goddess since the Keiphin mother was born.

Bonya instinctively clutched her child closer staring up at the creature, twice the height of even the tallest of the Keiphins, she had 4 arms and 3 sets of gills across her body, cheeks, neck. and ribcage had a set of two on either side. Some of her skin was a deep dark plum colour that reached down to her waist, where the skin became speckled gold, 5 tentacle-like limbs came out the bottom, but the rest of her legs were a long oval shape. Golden fins came out her head, that almost emulated the hair shape that some of the other land races had, but that same thick, fleshy, fin that Keiphins have. They would morally have 2 to 4 of these, which signaled the physical strength of them, Octovar had at least 10 of them creating a short hairstyle look.

“bring her to me.” Octovars voice echoed around them. Uncertainly Bonya carried her child to the god, only 10 or so years old, looking minuscule in comparison.

Octovar took a deep breath of oxygen, her bottom half submerging into the water, the set of gills on her face sending out a cloud of shimmering dust into the air, like sand with tiny flecks of black, these sank in the air and crossed the small distance between Octovar and Shihosu.

Bonya watched tentatively as she saw tiny twitches of life returning to her child, watching the wound close as her lung was repaired, stitching itself back together, but the fracture remained on the bone, left a scar on her skin, she was healed, but Octovar spoke as Shihosu's breathing began again.

“It may be healed, but it must never be forgotten.”

Bonya felt the grief make its home in her heart.

As Shihosu felt herself drawn back from a deep dream, her eyes opened to see the demigoddess staring down at her. She felt no fear, though she did not remember what had happened before, something in her felt like it knew her savior, something new.

Many thanks were exchanged, as always a meek creature, Bonya did not ask much beyond what Octovar was, how she had brought her child back, and why.

These were answered in a single sentence. “I am the leader of the deep, a child of Ocean god, Spetimus, your child is his, as are you.”
Outside of that, it seemed like pure dumb luck that she was even nearby the hear the cry.

Returning to their village, Shihosu was encouraged to stay in rest and not to contact any of her clan.

Her mother met with the leaders and for 3 days they discussed how to address this publicly, eventually, it was decided to let everyone know what had happened, but to treat Shihosu as a gift from this god, raising her reputation and altering the course of her life.

As she grew, speckles began to appear on her body that few of her fellow coastal Keiphins ever had, yet was extremely common in the oceanic Keiphins. She still has no idea why.

By the time she had lived for 20 years, these traits made her a bit of a small village celebrity, hard to blend in, and Shihosu could barely contain the excitement this gave her, more and more creating a performance personality to ensure everyone went away with a good impression.

Through her popularity on the ground, Shihosu became a recruiting target for a rebellion against both The Mage Council AND the seemingly absent elders, through this group Shihosu discovered the origin of her species, why they had left the ocean. This information created a determination in Shihosu to find the creature who saved her, and appeal to her for assistance in this issue. Sadly her new friends had pressing issues across Frenran, so Shihosu set out to find a party to join her in her travels, luckily she had plenty of experience charming folks. Though leaving the swamps on the coast of Frenran showed her cultures and civilizations shed never experienced before, showing how many are in need of help, just like Shihosu herself.
