Following bweirdart's oc-tober prompt list!
She/they for Thora (left character), they/he for Fliss (right character).
Species lore drop incoming. My original species, the daithi'ma (pronounced da-he-ma), have the ability to transform parts of their bodies to whatever they like, within reason. It's mostly adaptational mutations, like longer claws for climbing, shrinking/growing their wings, making webbing between their fingers and toes, etc., but they can only have one mutation/transformation active at a time. It also takes a lot of energy to keep active, and those who are not very experienced in activating these kinds of mutations can tire out very easily and quickly.
Thora, however, has pushed her adaptation ability further than the average daithi'ma, and is able to have more than one adaptation ability active at once as well as for much longer. She mostly breaks down her wings into tentacles to aid her in her work, as pictured above, and is the mutation she uses most often. She writes with them, gathers materials or tools with them, can use them to get into small crevices/spaces that she can't, and so on.
Fliss is conflicted about how they feel about Thora's tentacles, as on the one hand it's cool to them, but then on the other.... well, let's just say Fliss learned something about themselves the first few times they saw Thora activate this ability~ ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thora and Fliss are (C) me, do not use without my permission.
