-Neathians are generally evasive and fast. Light-footed and light in weight. (Like Night Elves/Elves in general.)

- Exceptional hearing (I suppose the pointy ears are good for something.)

- Neathian eyes have a supposed basic 'diamond' shape, but there are differentations in the lenght, curves, roundity and position. (Some examples here.)

- Neathian complexion ranges from pastel purple to pink and blue (Eyes and hair can take up any vibrant colour.)

- Neathian hair has a more blocky structure, like tresses are 'glued together' ; Neathian hair shines like diamonds (I even had the implication of male facial hair - like beards - looking like little diamonds growing out of their skins.)

- The primary colour of Neathian fashion (and crafted objects) is white, with secondary pastel colours - like green, blue, purple, yellow, red, sometimes even light grey. (The fashion sense could link back to the collectivist values, as in a united, collective society identity plays less importance -> the white colour displays unity, implies homogenity. Of course this doesn't mean Neathians don't have their own personalities or self-perception, it's just their clothing and fashion suggests a kind of 'togetherness'. Also white as a colour could have a connection to the importance and usage of light in their society -> the life-giving Sacred Orb, diamonds shining etc.)

- As for motives, they use a lot of diamond shapes, swirls - usually in gold or silver colouring - combined with futuristic shapes and lines (Their buildings in the series reminded me a lot of futurism; the swirls are more of a Night Elven impression again.)

- Another important and often used motif is the orb (Especially in arts; After the Sacred Orb, also as the motif of 'being whole'.)

- Neathian art is generally abstract and nonfigurative (Collectivism again; personal culture is not typical -> hence the not figurativist art; also stained glass feels more like a Gundalian thing, but these were just explorations to see what works and what doesn't. I just thought about it as something possible.)

- Like in fashion: Pastel colours are used mainly (Blue is the traditional colour both for artistic products and buildings.)

- 'Aesthetic over functionality' is a general trait (With moderation of course; Their objects and buildings are not useless, this rule of thumb just simply implies, that they like aesthetically pleasing and artistic things. Elven impression.)

- Every Queen had her own outfit; the main colour is white; the cape is traditionally yellow (Their gowns are supposed to blend futuristic Sci-Fi features with 'fantasy grace'.)

Other things:

- Neathian technology is based on light / uses light as a source (Like the shield generators and teleporters; light technology adds to the importance of light in their culture.)

- Main building material is (blue) diamond (On the planet exist different coloured diamonds as well, but blue is the most prevalent. Also I had the idea of a durable, hard-to-break material called 'Neathium' - either mined or produced - which is used mainly for armour and weapons in the military.)

- The Neathian language sounds like wind chimes (Aliens also speak the so-called 'Common', which is understood universally -> in the series is the human English/Japanese - depending on preference of dub or sub.)
