Recha the Quatmaré - ZU OC

This is a very sketchy sketch that doesn’t exactly look how I want but it’s an attempt. Her appearance is better explained below.

Quatmaré

Quatmaré are an alien species from a planet that’s entirely snow, forests, ice, and water. They’re a semi-aquatic species and typically make their homes in the edge of forests by large bodies of water.

The planet is populated with plenty of other species of wildlife, but Quatmaré are the most intelligent species

There are four recognized sexes within the Quatmaré species - Recha is what Quatmaré consider the superior sex. Appearance differs depending on sex

They don’t call themselves Quatmaré but humans can’t pronounce their languages so they made their own name for them

There’s more but I’ll make a separate post at some point

Recha

The ‘e’ is pronounced like ‘ay’  and the ‘ch’ is pronounced like challah or chanukah

Her Quatmaré name isn’t Recha but that’s the closest human equivalent she could get

Human pronouns really don’t apply to Recha but for convenience sake sake she uses she/her pronouns

Recha is the largest Quatmaré sex. When she’s on her hind legs, she’s about 13 feet tall. However, she typically walks on all fours and ends up being a bit less than half that height

Her fur is brown in warmer climates and white in colder climates; it’s slick like otter’s fur in the water but gets fluffy when she’s dry

Her front paws are similar to hands. All four paws are webbed and clawed

Recha’s tail is prehensile and helps her balance on land. In the water, the end of her tail fans out and helps her swim

The skull is her choice of face armor. Not every Quatmaré wears a skull but all except the smallest sex wear armor or a protectant of some kind on their face. Quatmaré often get into physical fights and because of that, they want to protect their face.

Muscular af and has very sharp teeth

Poor eyesight but other senses make up for that

Recha is studying medicine and anatomy/biology

She’s intimidating and not very interested in making friends

she’s actually just shy with anyone who isn’t Quatmaré and that’s why she doesn’t try to make friends

she growls and makes throaty noises because that’s how Quatmaré speak but people often think that means she’s pissed

Rarely talks because she can’t speak any human language and wearing her translator annoys her. She can understand human languages but she can’t physically make most human sounds

Very logic oriented. Doing things because you “feel” like it is a completely foreign concept to her

Intelligent and a quick learner with things that have clear and defined reasoning. She has a difficult time understanding other alien customs, including humans
