New ref for shikka! for 2026!~ LOTS of details on this one!
thanks to her boyfriend Hyuna, her tattooed areas now glow under UV light in a fancy new pattern. additionally, after drinking the poison of an alien manticore friend, she can now spawn wings and a harmless stinger at will.

she's an artist who also enjoys experimenting with magic and potions. she often is a test subject to Francesca's genetic experiments, as she is a nazorian, her current subject of interest. her participation of mostly limited to lending her genes to her, which in turn she uses to lab-grow hybrids between her nazorian species and other valician species. the goal for these experiments is to determine which valician species are safe to hybridize with nazorians.

in terms of accessories, Shik always wears something around her neck, usually a bow or a collar with studs, as well as another collar around her tail with a metal bow pin on it. she usually keeps her hair loose, though she can also keep it tied in a ponytail as well. Her eyes have a bright dot in the center. this is a little magic enhancement she placed on her eyes for more expressiveness! this little twinkle changes shape based on her mood or what she wants to express! in terms of clothing, any form of loose casual top clothes works for her, or a turtle neck sweater and scarf for winter.

she owns a small one bedroom house of her own close to the beach. she is also currently dating a kobold called Onyx, a Kangaroo, Pita,, and a tattoo artist mouse, Hyuna, though she used to date the dolphin Serenata, as well. however Serenata is tending to her pod's duties and her concerts, and has all of her focus in these duties, and as such as left her.

Shik loves potions, and her favorite is the genital changing ones, with her sometimes getting genitalia of different species entirely, just to experiment with it O: sometimes she also assumes an Anthro Form via the use of potions as well, though that kind of potion is rather expensive so she uses it less often.

she and all other nazorians used to have a curse manifested in their horns. the longer they got, the more chaotic their owner behaved. at maximum length the owner could cast high tier curse magic, which alters the environment negatively. to counter this, they Had keep their horns short! Shikka tends to file them every morning down to nubs. it doesnt hurt at all! Following important events globally in Valicia, notably the Resurrection of the Nazorian goddess to aid Valicia in defending her planet, the curse has now been lifted. even so, Nazorians including shik herself continue filing their horns down to nubs out of pure habit. this might change with newer generations of nazorians being brought into the world.
