Villager: Ataraxia

Ataraxia is Lur's mirror and an alternate sona for myself. Contrasting to Lur's darkness and masculinity, Ataraxia is light and feminine. Like Lur, she is an avian alien and Starkindred, but her existence is a bit complicated. While her original existence was solely dependent on Lur and another party, she now stands as a separate entity that can be present and interacting with Lur at any given time. However, despite this, they are still intertwined and often feel like two sides of the same coin.

She came to exist as a fusion I never really wanted, between myself and someone I had feelings for at the time. They were the one to suggest the idea, and I had very strong reservations against it, but in the end I caved and went for it. And, after seeing the design, I didn't regret it. In fact, I was actually glad I went for it, because the design was beautiful and checked pretty much all of my aesthetic boxes. She was always a comfort for me, even back then, but it wasn't because she was a fusion between myself and the other party. In my mind, she wasn't seen as a fusion. Rather, she was a standalone entity that co-existed with Lur and was often seen together with him. So, when the other party and I had our falling out, I negotiated sole ownership and made her a standalone design.

The other party didn't make it easy on me, and when full ownership was granted to me, she looked nothing like what you see here. She looked, essentially, like Lur 2.0 and had lost most of the beauty that drew me to her in the first place. I was discontent with this, as I was ultimately sacrificing $230 worth of characters to the other party (who'd already charged me $75 to bring her to life in the first place), but I went along with it and told myself that once I had her, I'd restore her to her former beauty. And, I did. While she's not exactly like her old self, as I promised the other party I wouldn't use the prior design, she is close enough to it to bring back what made me love her, while still keeping her different enough that the other party can't come at me for changing her design…



Personality-wise, Ataraxia is enigmatic. She doesn't speak or make any noise at all, not even telepathically, and there's often a veil of secrecy around her which makes it hard to know what she's truly thinking or feeling. She seems aloof at times as well, often feeling thousands of miles away even if she were sitting right next to you.

When, or if, she wants to communicate with someone, she uses magical energy.
