With fur like a dark, blue sky after sunset, Pyxis blends easily into the night with only her flashes of white speckles to give herself away. Unfortunately, this spooks alleyway shops and sellers when Pyxis appears from the shadows with no warning causing her negotiations to fail. Though perhaps her persistent frown doesn't help either. When relaxed one might see her clear, nebulous eyes and feel as though their soul is being perceived.

Although Pyxis comes across as grumpy and stubborn from her near-permanent frown in public, Pyxis is quite patient and attentive to others. Always willing to listen and change her wager in life, Pyxis is both a steadfast friend and a critical thinker. She won't just let her friends flounder into a ridiculous situation. Her brother, on the other hand, she'll let do silly mistakes but never something dangerous, to teach him a lesson.

Travelling far from the Eternal Starfire with her brother, the two twins set out with the goal of charting the stars for themselves and seeing the world of Loria. While her brother, Astrophel, dreams of being a celestial cartographer, Pyxis has a more realistic goal in becoming an Amity Seeker, to travel, trade and exchange the culture of other worlds. On their journey along Icerun, they find themselves sorely under-prepared after Pyxis failed in negotiations for supplies at an Icerun Outpost. Assuming they could find another outpost to try again, they set out. Unfortunately, Astrophel misread his charts and led them far out into the expanse of Icerun's frigid plains. Lost, without supplies, the two Bracchus followed the brightest star they could see through the clouded night sky. Which, through some miracle, led them to a stationed caravan. And the rest they say is history; through Astrophel's bluff, Dina Bardsley hired the two siblings. Now they help lead the caravan place to place, growing closer to the caravan families and now Pyxis is wondering if the home she wants to build is right here.
