entering for: Cosmos
full name: Tethys
nickname: 'Thys (pronounced "thiss")
pronouns: she/her
age: 24
personality: tethys is a well-meaning but painfully nervous kal. she tends to hide and avoid others when she can, often hanging around rivers - she has a particular love for mountain brooks and spends a lot of her time wandering around, seeing where they go. the few who know tethys can speak to her kindness, though it's not known whether this kindness is genuine or simply out of fear. thys is also terrified of animals. like, any animal at all. got a harvest mouse? she'll go running.
likes: botany, geology, long adventures
dislike: basically any other living creature. also pretzels.
basic story: tethys' earliest memory is being alone in a forest. she doesn't know where she came from, who her family is or what happened in her life before that point, but she was old enough to know to follow a river to civilisation. she did so, and after hanging around a small town for a while, she decided to be a drifter. since then, tethys has spent her days following rivers up and down, seeing where nature takes her.
trivia:
-tethys is named after a greek primordial deity - tethys in greek mythos was the mother of the rivers.
-her nickname, thys, is a nod to thistles, as she studies botany.
-pretzels were the first man (kalon?) made food tethys remembers eating, and her hatred of them was so strong that she refuses to eat any cooked food.
-whenever tethys finds the source of a river, she leaves a small pile of stones on the shore to mark her presence. one day, she hopes to have placed a pile of stones on every river source in the world.
hope this is okay! i think the slots thing is breeding but no worries if it just means she's already taken or something osjdojcojso
