Xaena

Xaena was a scientist at STaN in their biology department, but was sent off on a mission to Vaakshya after she called out unethical experiments that she was being asked to participate in.

Appearance
Xaena is a Piscinan with iridescent pastel pink scales, with sky blue markings and pale yellow on her fins and crests. She's got round fuchsia eyes and a soft, curvy build.

She is usually found wearing washed-out skinny jeans and cute crop tops and bows, except for when she is at work, when she complied to the usual dress code.

Personality
Xaena falls into a prep subculture. She's polite, mature, and gentle. She doesn't have much of a rebellious streak at all, but is not afraid to speak up about injustice if she feels she has to. She's not particularly confrontational, but is also more than willing to fight for who and what she believes in when push comes to shove.

Xaena is open and supportive of anyone who talked to her wishing for support. She's great at listening and encouraging her beloved friends, and wants nothing than for them to have happiness and peace. However, she's also reliant on their approval, and feels very upset any time she has to fight with them or they're displeased with her.

Piscina
Xaena was from a very large family. One of her parents had been previously involved with STaN, and Xaena was sick of feeling trapped on a disorganized planet with nothing to do aside from look after her hundreds of siblings. Instead, she decided to pursue higher education and goals at STaN, as her parent had before her.

STaN
Xaena was previously assigned to a genetics project, but became increasingly concerned with the direction the project was taking when live subjects became more and more common. Additionally, one of her fellow researchers was severely hurt because of harmful safety practices. She was naturally upset and started to petition the higher-ups to change things, but she caught the wrong sort of attention. Instead of her concerns being recognized and remedied, she was quickly swapped to a suicide mission headed by Q56.
