Koko's Harbor for Wayward Fated Mates
A magical small town where supernatural beings and their human mates find love and sanctuary.
Koko
Mokosh, known affectionately as Koko, is the warm and charismatic guardian goddess of Lublin Harbor, blending an air of approachable charm with an undercurrent of ancient power. In her human guise, she’s a tall, striking blonde with a ready smile, expressive eyes, and a playful, 1950s housewife aesthetic - often seen in colorful dresses and aprons embroidered with whimsical details like flowers and spiders. As the harbor’s protector, she uses her magic to shield its mystical residents from prying human eyes, subtly shaping the environment to suit her needs - like keeping the harbor waters comfortably warm. Koko thrives on fostering community, greeting newcomers with genuine hospitality, welcome baskets, and personal touches that make them feel at home, all while ensuring that they respect the town’s secrets and contribute to its well-being.
Levi
Levi, short for Levistus, is a half-human, half-kraken exile whose mixed heritage once made him an outsider in his underwater kingdom. Physically powerful and skilled, he’s equally at home in the crushing depths of the Midnight Zone or navigating in human form on the surface. Stoic and reserved by nature, Levi carries the scars of betrayal and prejudice, preferring solitude to small talk, yet he possesses a deep sense of loyalty and protectiveness toward those he chooses to trust. Since finding sanctuary in Lublin Harbor under the goddess Mokosh’s protection, he’s worked quietly as a guide, revealing the area’s beauty to visitors while keeping its magical secrets safe. Beneath his guarded exterior lies a thoughtful, observant soul who notices more than he lets on - and whose connection to the sea runs as deep as the tides themselves.
Lilith Blackwell
Lily is a 29-year-old nurse seeking a fresh start after ending a draining relationship with her manipulative ex, Marcus. Practical, independent, and a bit of a homebody, she’s not the type to chase adventures - preferring books, quiet, and stability - yet she has a wry sense of humor and a strong, nurturing streak, especially toward her beloved cat, Mango. She’s still carrying the emotional weight of past losses, including the death of her parents, and deeply values the support of her vibrant, free-spirited Aunt Zizi, who took her in as a teen. Though cautious and wary of romantic entanglements, Lily is curious and observant, with an underlying longing for genuine passion and connection that she’s not quite ready to admit - until the strange, alluring small town of Lublin Harbor begins to test her resolve.
Mango
Mango is Lily’s steadfast feline companion, a striking orange tabby with citrine eyes that gleam with curiosity and mischief. Content to ride cross-country in his crate, he’s adaptable yet opinionated, quick to voice his feelings with a well-timed “mrow.” Though initially resistant to leash training, he’s growing more adventurous, happily exploring alongside Lily when given the chance. Affectionate and food-motivated, Mango purrs like an engine when indulged - whether that’s sharing a bit of piroshki or soaking up attention from strangers - making him both Lily’s comfort and her co-conspirator on the road to a new life.
Ravok
Ravok is a towering Cryzorian warrior - broad, powerful, and bred for battle - whose gleaming dark-gray skin and glowing white eyes give him an otherworldly, intimidating presence. Captured and imprisoned by humans after a crash, he endures their experiments with cold, calculating patience while his nanites heal his injuries and neutralize their drugs. Fiercely proud and unyielding, he views his captors with contempt, relishing the moment he can turn the tables with lethal precision. Beneath his warrior discipline burns a relentless drive for freedom and the certainty that his people will one day descend upon Earth, claiming it under the heel of Cryzor’s dominance.
Rose Ashford
Rose Ashford is a talented graphic artist and painter from the desert Southwest, craving a change of scenery and fresh inspiration. Warm, curious, and a little worn down from overwork, she jumps at the chance to spend two weeks in the coastal town of Lublin Harbor, splitting her time between outdoor adventures and creating art. She’s passionate about capturing landscapes and seascapes - especially lighthouses - in her work, and carries a personal connection to the Cape Vesna lighthouse through a tattoo inspired by her late mother. Rose is openhearted, observant, and eager to immerse herself in new experiences, whether it’s kayaking along rocky shores, sketching hidden coves, or simply breathing in the salty air.
Saving Ceraste
Epic space romance featuring the Cerastean alien species and their human brides.
Ally Barnes
Ally Barnes is a 25-year-old aeronautical engineer with short blonde hair and distinctive horn-rimmed glasses that she loves despite thinking they make her look more like a "mousy preschool teacher" than the "naughty librarian" she'd hoped for. Passionate about space exploration since second grade, she joined the Cerastean Bride Program not for romance, but to fulfill her lifelong dream of becoming an astronaut after being rejected by NASA due to her keratoconus eye condition. Ally is brilliant, endlessly curious, and has an "insatiable curiosity" that often gets her into trouble - she's notorious for sneaking into restricted areas to explore technology and ask endless questions. She's socially awkward, tends to leave projects scattered everywhere, and voices her thoughts out loud without realizing it. Despite considering herself "not girlfriend material" and being inexperienced romantically, Ally forms deep friendships with her fellow bride volunteers and eventually finds love with her Cerastean work partner L'Zaen, who appreciates her intelligence and adventurous spirit.
Beutler
Beutler is Serena's orange-striped tabby cat who embodies feline entitlement at its finest. This rotund, grumpy ball of fluff barely tolerates his owner while simultaneously demanding her constant attention and the finest delicacies (preferably from her plate). Despite his royal attitude and disdainful sniffs, Beutler shows surprising adaptability - eventually warming up to L'Vect enough to drape himself across the alien's shoulders like a furry scarf. Named after the pioneering hematologist Dr. Ernest Beutler, this "shameless brat" serves as both comic relief and a surprising bridge between species, proving that even the most finicky cats can find common ground with seven-foot-tall alien warriors. His loud complaints, selective affection, and general air of superiority make him the perfect embodiment of feline audacity.
Chancellor L’Forn
Chancellor L’Forn is the steadfast leader of the remaining Cerastean refugees - just over four thousand survivors - stationed on B187. A dignified, disciplined figure with long white hair and a commanding presence, he shoulders the immense responsibility of safeguarding his people’s future while navigating fragile alliances with humans and other alien species. Haunted by the genocide of his homeworld and driven to prevent further atrocities, he balances strategic leadership with personal integrity, often putting his people’s needs before his own. Though outwardly serious and reserved, L’Forn’s moments of levity and combat prowess reveal a fierce, passionate side beneath the pressure of command.
Chelsea Barrison
Chelsea Barrison is a 25-year-old free-spirited adventurer with an infectious enthusiasm for life that remains unbroken despite months of captivity. Petite with blonde hair often worn in braids, deep blue eyes, and an elfin face with a pointy chin, she's a former college dropout who chose travel over conventional life, funding her motorcycle journeys across America through odd jobs while dreaming of YouTube stardom. Her quick wit, irreverent sense of humor, and tendency to quote movies make her both endearing and exasperating - she's self-aware enough to know she can be "a pain in the ass." Despite her small stature, Chelsea possesses remarkable resilience, resourcefulness, and courage, having survived months alone on an alien space station through stealth and sabotage. Her wanderlust and philosophy that "home is where the heart is" ultimately lead her to choose a life among the stars with her alien mates rather than returning to her old existence on Earth.
Commander D'Avii
Commander D'Avii is a towering Cerastean Warrior who stands well over 6 feet tall with a powerfully muscled, imposing physique that commands respect. His skin is covered in seamless tan and brown diamond-patterned scales that extend across his massive chest, arms, and even his mouth, with small horns rising above each temple nestled in his silver-white hair. His most striking features are his mesmerizing golden eyes with slit pupils that seem to glow with amber and blonde tones, and his forked tongue that he uses to sample scents and emotions. Despite his intimidating appearance, D'Avii is remarkably gentle and patient, especially when training younger warriors or interacting with humans. He's intellectually curious about human culture and language, methodically documenting everything in his beloved reports, and has developed an endearing attachment to coffee (despite hating the taste) simply because it gives him excuses to spend time with Maya. Though quiet and reserved by nature, he's deeply protective and yearns for the family bond he lost when his planet was destroyed. His formal, duty-bound exterior masks a passionate heart that becomes completely devoted once he allows himself to love, making him both a fierce warrior and a tender mate who would do anything to protect those he cares about.
Director L'Corte
Director L’Corte is the impeccably composed head of the Bride Program aboard the Cerastean ship B187, a man who prizes order, decorum, and adherence to protocol. His polished manners and occasionally condescending tone often clash with the unpredictable nature of the human women under his supervision - particularly Trinh, whose irreverence and penchant for high heels both exasperate and intrigue him. Though he outwardly maintains a dignified distance, L’Corte secretly relishes their verbal sparring matches, finding her challenges to his authority both maddening and oddly refreshing. Beneath his formal exterior lies a man amused - and perhaps a little enchanted - by the very chaos he claims to disdain.
Dr. Serena Salcedo
Dr. Serena Salcedo is a 33-year-old hematologist with dark wavy black hair (typically worn in a bun) and brown eyes. She's slender and dedicated to her work, specializing in treating cancer patients like those with leukemia and lymphoma. Serena has a warm, compassionate bedside manner and natural curiosity about the world around her - traits that make her excellent at both patient care and adapting to working with the alien Cerasteans. She's intelligent and slightly nerdy, with a love for reading (including the occasional romance novel), and maintains a practical, no-nonsense approach to life. Despite being divorced and initially cautious about relationships, she's kind-hearted and forms deep connections with those around her. Her scientific mind and genuine empathy make her an ideal bridge between human patients and their alien healers, while her resilience and quick thinking prove invaluable in dangerous situations.
Durrescope
Durrescope, the son of Vul’ipwerskulpi, serves as the Hisk’s diplomatic bridge to the Cerasteans and the human race. Tasked with forging a lasting alliance between Earth and his people, he blends his father’s calm wisdom with his own keen sense of diplomacy. Though youthful compared to other Hisk leaders, Durrescope’s approachable demeanor and genuine curiosity make him well-suited for cross-cultural negotiations. He navigates the complexities of interspecies politics with patience, respect, and an earnest desire to create mutual understanding, always mindful of the trust placed in him by both his father and his people.
General D'Annon
General D'Annon is a formidable Cerastean warrior who appears intimidating with his enormous size, jagged facial scar running from the base of one horn through his eyebrow to the corner of his mouth, and what Sara calls "Resting Murder Face." Despite his menacing appearance - described as looking like a mix between an old-school Viking and a deadly rattlesnake - he possesses a gentle, nurturing soul that Sara affectionately nicknames "Marshmallow" for his soft, gooey center. His golden eyes, white-blond hair, and diamond-patterned scales give him an alien beauty, while his protective instincts and unwavering devotion make him a natural caretaker. D'Annon has been quietly watching over Sara since her first day on the ship, providing her with supplies and ensuring her comfort from afar. His scar came from an acid burn while protecting a scientist from a dangerous alien creature, and though he considers having it removed, Sara loves it as part of who he is. Highly observant and methodical, D'Annon balances his military duties with an almost reverent care for Sara, always putting her needs first and proving that beneath his warrior exterior lies a romantic heart capable of profound love and tenderness.
Herman Goldberg
Herman Goldberg is a spirited man in his eighties with a mischievous charm and an incorrigible flirtatious streak. A decorated war veteran and terminal cancer patient, he received life-saving treatment at the Deerfield Medical Facility, where he quickly became a favorite among staff and fellow patients alike. Herman’s wit and warmth make him a source of levity even in the most serious moments - whether he’s teasing Serena with marriage proposals, charming nurses, or offering playful banter to anyone who visits. His resilience, humor, and zest for connection embody the hope and joy that the Cerastean cures bring to their patients.
Janet Olsen
Janet Olsen is a 28-year-old blonde, curvy nurse working at the Deerfield Medical Facility who lives up to her self-proclaimed title as the "gossip queen." Despite her love for juicy details and drama, she's fundamentally good-hearted and genuinely cares about her patients, often going above and beyond official protocols to ensure their comfort and well-being. Janet is warm, flirtatious, and has no filter when she's had a few drinks, but she's also professional, compassionate, and fiercely loyal to those she cares about. Her gossipy nature actually serves her well in forming connections with both patients and colleagues, and she has an intuitive ability to read people and situations.
Laney Calhoun
Laney Calhoun is a 28-year-old paralegal with vibrant red curly hair, freckles scattered across her pale skin, and warm brown eyes. Standing at 5'10", she's tall for a human woman with a confident, curvy figure that she's learned to embrace. After her ex-fiancé Ben's betrayal just a month before their wedding, Laney's self-esteem took a hit, but joining the Bride Program has helped her rediscover her worth. She's naturally witty and uses humor when feeling vulnerable, has a tendency to be bossy (especially in bed), and possesses a resilient spirit that shines through during crises. Though she prefers "glamping" to roughing it and loves being spoiled by her mate L'Arc, she proves surprisingly resourceful and determined when faced with challenges. Her freckles, which she once considered a flaw, have become one of L'Arc's favorite features, and she's learned to see herself through his adoring eyes as the beautiful, strong woman she truly is.
Liaison Rosie Simpson
Rosie Simpson, in her late forties, serves as the warm yet capable liaison between the Cerasteans and the human bride volunteers. With a dignified presence and a nurturing spirit, she guides newcomers through the cultural and emotional adjustments of life aboard the mothership, ensuring they feel supported and understood. Often described as a den mother, Rosie has an instinct for when to offer a firm word, a listening ear, or a gentle nudge in the right direction. Her close partnership with L’Corte allows her to bridge communication gaps and smooth over tensions, making her an indispensable figure in fostering trust and cooperation between the two worlds.
Maya Arnold
Maya Arnold is a 23-year-old woman with long, light-brown hair, hazel eyes flecked with green, and a medium height and build around 5'8". She's naturally beautiful with freckled cheeks like her mother, and often favors colorful, flowing clothing or comfortable jeans over restrictive formal wear. Maya possesses a fierce, protective personality driven by unwavering loyalty to her family - she left college early to work as a medical transcriptionist and help care for her 12-year-old sister Tasha, who suffers from leukemia. She's brave yet practical, willing to sacrifice her own future by joining an alien bride program if it means saving Tasha's life. Maya is naturally curious and adventurous, has a good sense of humor, and forms deep friendships quickly. She's also refreshingly direct and honest in her relationships, unafraid to fight for what she wants - whether that's challenging alien social hierarchies or pursuing her feelings for D'Avii despite cultural barriers. Her core drive is love and protection of family, but she also craves genuine connection and isn't willing to settle for less than what her heart truly wants.
Physician L'Vect
Physician L'Vect is a tall, lean but muscular Cerastean from the Scientist caste, distinguished by his ash blonde hair, golden slit-pupil eyes, and brown diamond-patterned scales running down his face and neck. He has three-inch keratin horns rising from his temples and possesses the typical Cerastean enhanced senses, including a forked tongue that allows him to detect human emotions through scent. Highly intelligent and analytical, L'Vect struggles significantly with social interactions and understanding human behavior - he's described as socially inept even among his own people. His bedside manner is initially terrible, as he tends to be blunt, doesn't make eye contact, and fails to pick up on basic social cues. Despite his awkwardness, he's dedicated to his work and genuinely wants to help patients. L'Vect has a scientific fascination with animal biology and approaches the world through a purely analytical lens. Though he considers himself one of the "less desirable" males among Cerasteans due to his social difficulties, he's actually kind-hearted and capable of deep love once he finds someone who understands and accepts him.
Princess Ameela
Princess Ameela is the strong-willed daughter of Queen Diamalla, determined to end her mother’s brutal rule. Intelligent, passionate, and courageous, she carries herself with the poise of royalty but refuses to be bound by the cruelty and oppression that define her mother’s reign. Ameela is driven by a deep sense of justice and loyalty to her people, willing to risk her own safety to protect others and work toward a better future for her kingdom. Her defiance of Diamalla’s tyranny is as much a personal mission as it is a political one, fueled by both moral conviction and a desire to break free from her mother’s shadow.
Queen Diamalla
Queen Diamalla is a cunning and ruthless ruler whose reign is marked by fear, manipulation, and an unyielding grip on power. Regal in bearing but cold in heart, she commands absolute loyalty from those around her - often through intimidation rather than respect. Her strategic mind and political acumen make her a formidable force, yet her ambition is tainted by cruelty, using oppression and violence to maintain control over her people. While she presents herself as the ultimate guardian of her realm, Diamalla’s methods reveal a deep mistrust of others and a willingness to sacrifice anyone, even family, to preserve her throne.
Sara Landry
Sara Landry is a 26-year-old woman with medium-length brown hair who appears small and fragile but possesses remarkable inner strength. Extremely quiet and introverted by nature, she joined the Cerastean Bride Program not to find a mate, but as a hiding place from her abusive ex-boyfriend Carl. Despite her shy demeanor and preference for staying in the background, Sara is highly observant, intelligent, and resourceful - qualities that make her the de facto leader of the "Dulci Liberation Front" among her fellow bride volunteers. She has a deep love for reading and finds comfort in oversized hoodies. Sara struggles with trust issues and self-doubt due to her traumatic past, but beneath her fearful exterior lies a brave, stubborn woman capable of extraordinary courage when protecting those she loves. Her pet dulci Tribble serves as both companion and emotional support, representing her capacity for nurturing despite her own wounds. Throughout her journey, Sara evolves from a woman defined by fear and survival into someone who embraces love, trust, and her own worth.
Scientific Officer L’Arc
L'Arc is a Cerastean scientist who stands out among his people with his entirely golden coloring - from his tawny hair and honey-colored eyes with slit pupils to his golden-tan scales. At around 6 feet tall, he's considered short for a Cerastean, which has caused him some insecurity. His long silky hair drapes over his shoulders, and he has four-inch white horns rising straight from his temples. L'Arc has a more human-like appearance than most Cerasteans, with softer, narrower features rather than the pronounced cheekbones typical of his species. His analytical mind serves him well in his research on dulcis cloaking abilities, but he applies that same methodical approach to understanding and pleasing Laney. Originally shy and nervous around her, he's become confident and attentive as a mate, cataloguing every preference and response to become an expert on her pleasure. He's utterly devoted to Laney, fascinated by her freckles, and finds joy in the smallest gestures like carrying her everywhere and spoiling her completely.
Scientific Officer L'Zaen
Scientific Officer L'Zaen is a Cerastean scientist with bronze hair, golden amber eyes with slit pupils, and shorter but thicker horns than most of his species. His chest and arms are covered in cream-colored scales with intricate caramel and chocolate diamond patterns. Initially assigned to be Ally's "babysitter" after she kept sneaking into the engine room, he becomes her devoted work partner and eventually her mate. L'Zaen is patient, kind, and genuinely appreciates Ally's intelligence and curiosity - traits that make him different from the human men who were intimidated by her intellect. He has a musical background, having almost chosen to be an Artist before becoming a Scientist, and treasures the guitar Ally gives him as a gift. Though he initially pursues a relationship with another bride volunteer named Krystal, he gradually realizes his true feelings for Ally. L'Zaen is protective, thoughtful, and finds Ally's endless enthusiasm and adventures both endearing and exciting. He's the perfect complement to Ally's chaotic energy, providing steady support while sharing her love of exploration and discovery.
Scout Pilot D'Rett
D'Rett is a massive Cerastean warrior who serves as a scout pilot, specializing as a skilled machinist in fixing and maintaining spacecraft. Described as a "gentle giant" and "beefcake," he's thicker and more barrel-chested than his nest-bonded partner L'Tarne, with silver-blonde hair, bold facial features, and slightly larger scales that give him an imposing physical presence. Despite his intimidating size and warrior caste status, D'Rett has a thoughtful, pragmatic nature and serves as the steady anchor for his more impulsive companions - he's the "safe harbor" that protects and indulges L'Tarne and Chelsea's shenanigans. Though he secretly shares L'Tarne's love of romantic comedies, D'Rett is more reserved and self-doubting, particularly about his lower caste status affecting their mating prospects. His gentle demeanor, combined with his protective instincts and willingness to carry Chelsea on piggyback rides while patiently explaining ship mechanics, makes him the perfect counterbalance to L'Tarne's more outgoing personality. Like all Cerasteans, he has golden eyes with slit pupils, diamond-patterned scales, small horns, and a forked tongue.
Scout Pilot L'Tarne
L'Tarne is a Cerastean scout pilot from the Scientist caste who specializes in navigation and encryption, with streaked golden hair ranging from white to light brown and sharp, predatory features that belie his quick grin and animated eyes. Tall and rangy with a narrow waist and pronounced cheekbones, he has the typical Cerastean attributes of golden slit-pupil eyes, diamond-patterned scales, small horns, and a forked tongue that enhances his sense of smell. As the more outgoing and talkative half of his nest-bonded partnership with D'Rett, L'Tarne often takes the lead in social situations due to his higher caste status, though he considers himself equal to his warrior partner. A secret romantic comedy fanatic who enthusiastically embraces human culture, he's quick-witted with an expanded vocabulary of colorful human curse words and delights in playful banter. Despite his sometimes cocky exterior, L'Tarne is deeply caring and protective, with a dreamer's heart that yearns for the mate bond he thought might never come due to his unusual partnership arrangement.
Tribble
Tribble is Sara's beloved pet dulci - a small, fluffy, chipmunk-like alien creature with soft blue fur. Sara "liberated" him on her first day aboard the Cerastean mothership during what became known as the "Dulci Liberation Incident," when several dulcis escaped from their laboratory cage. While the other dulcis scattered chaotically, Tribble calmly walked up to Sara and sat at her feet, seeming to sense her need for companionship. Sara quickly hid him in her shirt and has kept him as her constant companion ever since. Named after the fuzzy creatures from Star Trek, Tribble serves as Sara's emotional support, often nestling in the large pocket of her favorite hoodie or creating cozy nests in dresser drawers. He's described as spoiled and lazy, having adapted well to pet life rather than his original laboratory environment. Tribble provides Sara with unconditional love and comfort during her most vulnerable moments, and his presence represents her capacity for nurturing and forming bonds despite her traumatic past. His gentle, intuitive nature mirrors Sara's own quiet wisdom and ability to sense what others need.
Trinh Le
Trinh Le is a vibrant, spirited 25-year-old Vietnamese woman who joined the Cerastean Bride Program after being cured of cancer. Having faced mortality, she lives by the philosophy that each day is a gift and refuses to waste a moment. She's naturally interfering and demanding, with a sharp tongue and zero patience for rules and regulations, which puts her constantly at odds with the rigid Program Director L'Corte - though she secretly enjoys their verbal sparring matches. Trinh has an eye for fashion and loves wearing high heels that confuse and fascinate the aliens, using her appearance as both armor and weapon. She's fiercely loyal to her friends, always ready to meddle in their love lives or organize grand events like wedding ceremonies. Despite her seemingly frivolous exterior focused on designer clothes and parties, Trinh possesses remarkable emotional intelligence and leadership skills, often seeing solutions others miss and rallying people together when they need it most. Her black hair is growing back after chemotherapy, and she's learned to embrace both her vulnerability and her strength.
Vul’ipwerskulpi
Vul’ipwerskulpi is a respected leader among the Hisk, a gentle and nomadic alien people whose appearance blends the massive, fur-covered form of a woolly mammoth with the strong, agile upper body of a centaur. Known for his wisdom and calm presence, he embodies the Hisk’s values of harmony, mutual aid, and peaceful coexistence. Though physically imposing, Vul’ipwerskulpi’s demeanor is measured and compassionate, earning him trust both within his tribe and from outsiders. As a leader, he navigates challenges with patience and empathy, guiding his people while maintaining the Hisk tradition of traveling lightly upon the worlds they visit.
Warrior D'Brac
D’Brac is a seasoned Cerastean pilot and warrior whose skill in the cockpit is matched by his easy camaraderie and sharp sense of humor. Loyal to his comrades and unflinching in battle, he brings both confidence and competence to every mission. Beneath his laid-back exterior lies a deep commitment to protecting his people and their human allies, making him a trusted presence in high-stakes situations. Whether trading banter in the ready room or executing precision maneuvers in combat, D’Brac blends charm, courage, and unwavering reliability.
Warrior D'Xurrl
Warrior D'Xurrl is a towering Cerastean with shimmering copper-colored hair and amber eyes who serves as head of security at the Deerfield Medical Facility. Despite his intimidating size and snake-like appearance that initially frightens humans, he's remarkably gentle, kind-hearted, and patient. D'Xurrl has a specialization in military strategy and tactics, but he's also deeply curious about human culture and customs, often misunderstanding colloquialisms in endearing ways. He has a particular love for rain (a new experience from his desert home planet) and an immediate fascination with dogs, especially Waffles the service dog. D'Xurrl is earnest and sincere in his desire to connect with humans, particularly Janet, whom he courts with old-fashioned devotion. His protective nature extends beyond his security duties to genuine care for the patients and staff, making him well-respected despite the initial fear his appearance might inspire.
Wilson
Wilson is a small, fluffy alien creature that resembles a squirrel and possesses remarkable camouflage abilities, able to blend seamlessly into her surroundings. She's highly intelligent and seems to understand Chelsea's words, often chittering in response and serving as an excellent lookout during their nighttime scavenging missions on the Ostium space station. Wilson is extremely agile and playful, leaping between people's shoulders, diving through thick fur, and performing acrobatic catches when treats are tossed in the air. She has a strong bond with Chelsea, often perching on her shoulder or hiding in her shirt pocket, and appears to sense Chelsea's emotional state, providing comfort when needed. Originally from the jungle planet Xerini, Wilson was rescued by Chelsea from Dr. Evil's cruel experiments and has since become not just a beloved companion but a crucial ally in their survival.
Zoe Shults
Lieutenant Zoe Shults - call sign “ABF” for Active Bitch Face - is one of only two female fighter pilots aboard the Cerastean mothership and a fiercely determined Air Force officer who refuses to let anything stand between her and the cockpit. Skilled, confident, and unafraid to challenge anyone who underestimates her, Zoe thrives under pressure and adapts quickly to new challenges, from mastering alien fighter darts to holding her own in hand-to-hand combat against larger opponents. Her sharp wit and unapologetic toughness earn her respect among her peers, while her deep love of flying drives her to push boundaries and prove she belongs in the skies - no matter the odds.
