Here’s my polypansona. Jules loves to hug people, but stops doing so as soon as they notice the other party starts to like them too much, because they are too aware of the short-term nature of their own attraction, falling in and out of love pretty quickly, to make people suffer the consequences of it. (They’re into the whole ridiculous idea of self-sacrificing martyrdom.)
Also, I think Polypans are a very interesting species. Because constantly falling in (and maybe out of) love with an array of probably very different people/species means that you need an incredible amount of self-knowledge and -control to still remember who you are. Although I’m not sure I completely got the whole theory about the tribe right.
