Menkalinan [ASTRUM (not completely canon yet)]

Beta Aurigae

(character sheet for Artfight 2026. my first and VERY FAST attempt at drawing non-humanoid anatomy, so please don’t judge too hard)

Menkalinan is the embodiment of the star Beta Aurigae. She runs a cosmic hospital, and Capella was once her ward. She’s quite cold-blooded and a woman of few words, fond of rules. Pella chose such a small form specifically so she could more easily hide from her in the hospital gardens

(he,he night posting)

I decided to name sona Celeste. I like its gentleness and phonetic similarities with my nickname. Buuut not sure if this name isn’t too femme for the character

What do ya think, does it suits them?

[stellarlin]

meet my blog sona's character sheet

they started out as a simple little PNG model for a lore stream and just stay in my heart

their species is about as undefined as my own sense of self tbh — somewhere between a bird, an alien, a succulent, and a cat girl is my best guess

Hi!!! I'm an animator and I'm trying to get outfit inspiration for the characters in my street racing animation, since you seem pretty cool is it okay if I ask you some fashion/driving questions!

Hi! Sure! Love fashion

But it's important to have in mind that I am mostly worked with vintage/alt fashion, not a style I imagine for street racing xd Not sure how helpful I can be

Oliney. Keeper of Dragonflies

An eccentric but wise and calm woman. She belongs to the "Elders" of the Griff. She is a spirit, and a fairly old one at that. Oliney came here from outside on a mission from Eavar, which is simultaneously her punishment for ignoring orders during the Lilac War.

No one's read her reports in ages, so for the past ten years she's been writing ironic little essays in them about the strange everyday life of the Griff (something like an essay on how many stones have moved and sticks have appeared over the past month, and what that might mean for choosing morning tea) hoping someone in the archive will notice and react. So far, everyone's silent

She's an extremely talented mage thanks to her intellect and astral nature. Over a hundred years ago, back in her teaching days, she held the position of deputy headmistress and taught students magical theory. She still happily teaches children today, actually. She's a fairly strict but fair teacher who loves her work. She used to be much stricter, having grown unused to mortal society, but over time — and under the influence of her friendship with the eccentric headmaster and his daughters — Lin became much calmer.

Before the Griff, she served as a pilgrim-keeper, fought in wars, and took part in diplomatic missions. Even earlier, she lived on Daarlin, a distant daeran planet now lost in the river of time. Having parted with life — whether out of her own foolishness or while bravely protecting her sister — her spirit fell into a long sleep for millennia. Lin woke up in a new world, where her culture had been partially lost, and her kin had become rare even among spirits.

The mortal Olineya's family

Oliney’s central theme is the dilemma of long-lived beings and managing the accumulated wounds of eternal losses — of familiar places and beloved people. The first time, Death took her home; the second, War; the third, Revolution. She won’t let anyone harm her home again.

This anxiety leads her to a logical consequence — overwork and eternal exhaustion. Sometimes Lin disappears for several hours or days, falls asleep somewhere abandoned, and returns as if nothing happened. In the forests, at the edges of their astral pocket, guardian owls fly — sometimes invisible, sometimes disguised as ordinary owls. They not only guard the borders but also keep watch over the family for their safety. Our lady has her own quirks.

Right now, compared to the brighter moments of her long life, Oliney is retired — which in no way diminishes the importance of this current period. She handles organization and long-term planning in their commune, and raises and teaches the next generation of the Griff.

But there are days when, in the morning, you can see someone's silhouette on the castle roof. Then the languid, early silence is pierced by a mournful whistled melody, carrying a message in an unknown language out across the sea's surface, through valleys and mountains, somewhere very far away.

The message will go unanswered

Storm Season. A Walk

The wind seems calling though not understood A voice is speaking Hark! it louder calls It echoes in the far outstretching wood First twas a hum but now it loudly squalls

“A Rhapsody” by John Clare

Every third week of summer, the wind rises above the Drowned Man’s Sea, driving cold, ominous clouds toward the old ruins and the settlements scattered along the shore. It’s hard to predict how long the downpour will last, or how fiercely the waves will crash against the rocks. The world obeys the whims of the sea, and nothing else.

This year, the looming clouds caught Hugh off guard — the walk will have to wait for better times…

There’s only one question left: will she outrun the rain?

CAPELLA "PELLA" [ASTRUM]

House Auriga

A living star, manifestation of Capella herself.

Former head of House Auriga

Magnostation host

Professional gossip.

Cappella is the kind of presence that's impossible to ignore at any gathering, and she knows it.

Once a goddess-mother to a wandering civilization who took refuge in her system, guiding them to grow in harmony with their world. They wanted more. They turned on her, tried to drain her starlight as fuel — and nearly succeeded. She survived. Their planet didn't.

What's left is sharp, calculating, and very good at reading a room before anyone notices she's doing it. The chatty, scatterbrained act is just that — an act, and a useful one. She'll play the fool to get what she needs, then strike when no one's watching.

These days she's an outspoken activist for stricter oversight of planetary civilizations with the mission to protect other stars from ending up like her.
