I was doodling and sorta doodled an alien sona. Sorta. She also partly became her own thing too. I have no idea what happened.
Long story short: She’s from a race of alien people that bonded with a parasitic species early on in their evolutional development. They helped each other survive and advanced together. Even long after they didn't need each other the two species stuck together. The parasites changed their hosts’ bodies to better suit their presence. (Which is why they have tendrils and the parasite’s eye is burrowed out and lodged in the forehead.)
Host and parasite speak telepathically to each other. The tendrils split apart to multiply (but the more they split they thin out) and when the host is in danger the parasite will alter their hosts’ bodies to help them in combat. But the changes are minor.
I gave her multicolored layered hair cause hey why not?
