A long, long time ago I came across Maddeku's Catrobis species, and for funsies I made a fan character exploring the race...
but then I kept drawing her...
and kept drawing her...
it didn't stop for a while.
Then I forgot about her for years, only for history to repeat itself when someone talked about something almost unrelated, and then it hit me.
Now I can't stop drawing her again, I'd like you folks at FA to meet D-22;

D-22, or "Dee-Dee" as her human crewmates call her, is a lone Catrobis who lives and works at a Spacer Mart shipping and freight branch on a space station, where they move shipments of goods and stock for the intergalactic convenience store chain.

D-22 is characterized by her pastel blue fur, freckle-like cheek spots, and her massive addiction to all things sugary and sweet.

Because of this, and the fact that humans are the only other species with a very wide candy selection, she's what the other xenos call a 'Terraboo', or a non-human obsessing over human culture. She dreams of visiting earth one day, knowing full well the risks of breathing in raw, unprocessed oxygen...

Due to Dee's workplace being 99% human inhabited, and run by a very stingy mega corp, who thinks it's cheaper than dedicated suits, to just pump cheap counter-oxy-allergens into worksites she's most likely to inhabit. But due to shortages or just awful megacorp bureaucracy, they have to 'ration' the counter allergens in some weeks. Most day's she's fine, but in other's she spends her work week partially blimping out from the higher concentrations of raw oxygen.

Dee's a total nerd for all things human, so she'll try her darndest to enter public spaces to enjoy the Terran culture, and even rationalizes how she'll get around partway swollen.
This has also inavertedly made her subconsciously associate swelling up with her favorite pastimes, having acquired a small taste of having a wider frame...


While I created Dee, I did not create her species, that would be  rattiesteps
