Cheeto is 73 earth years old. That's a little older than the rest of Grace's class because she got held back. Technically, they're smart enough to pass but they've never been interested enough in science to listen before.

Cheeto has a very common eridian chronic disease causing crystals to grow over her carapace and joints. This restricts their movements and she has a limp because of it. When Grace met them, they had a lot less crystal on them, so grace named her Cheeto after her orange carapace, and defaulted to they/them. (He pronouns the aliens biased on vibes alone. Most are they them) After the condition progressed, he started refering to her using feminine pronouns subconsciously.

Cheeto cannot do big science. She does enjoy making things with xenoniete... But not useful things. She tried to make a model of a molecule once for extra credit, but the molecule they made doesn't exist. They're usually sculpting something in the back of the class.

They don't get along great with the other eridians, since they're slower and not as fast of a learner. They do have a couple of friends and Grace indulges her interests. He taught her about human art and sculpture, and moved her to the front of the class so they can hear better.

Later on Grace uses his knowledge of helping struggling human kids to help Cheeto. With his help she finally passes the class, but she still comes around for tutoring and visits.

I was just gonna make one post and be done, but she's fun to draw! Might do more but rn I have to draw an abhorrent amount of bloodymary.
