Ustha-Kth
or 'Bea' as she prefers being called for whatever reason
"Oh, little birdie, what are you doing, trying to talk to stars flying so close to the moon? They having nothing to say to you, silly. Better you were lost in a pleasant forest, find a goat and have a chat. Mother likes little birdies that visit..."
Height: 5'7
Weight: 132lbs.
At first glance, Ustha, or Bea, appears to be a slim, young girl of petite build standing at around 5'7". She has long black hair that falls to her shoulders with a pale complexion. Her eyes, are of a somewhat unearthly blue color. If one so happened to stare, they would find little specks of light embedded in her pupils. Typically, she can be seen wearing a warm jacket with a thin, one piece dress with blue earrings. She typically wears a friendly smile, and seems to be otherwise easy to speak too.
However, the longer one looks at her, they might start seeing...something else. A third, fleshy arm coming out of her right elbow. Head replaced by a mass of writhing tentacles. Clothes turn to a mass of pulsating, slimy, flesh. Blink however, and her appearance returns to that which it was before. Nothing more than a trick of the light or an overactive imagination...right? No, that's just her getting a giggle out of silly humans when seeing their petrified faces. At times, her skin can feel slightly clammy.

PowerOtherworldly physiologyTo put simply, Bea isn't human if it wasn't obvious. She in fact, was born in the outer realms of reality, where human comprehension fails them. As such, she has a bit of...an ability to not exactly be all that easily killed. Not to mention enhanced strength and endurance, meaning despite her slim form she could easily take a beating and dish one out. It also mean she in fact, has a number of appendages she can use similarly to hands.
Perception Warping:A minor ability of hers, that basically allows others to change how normal humans perceive her via small scale reality warping. Most normal humans, she can effectively completely turn herself invisible towards and mask her presence entirely. To others, such as supernatural entities and whatnot, while it is lessened, she is still able to more or less hide her true appearance and replace it with that of a small human girl.
This is of course, an ability she can only use on herself to mostly change how the human world perceives her physical form. This does not mean she'll be able to give herself new abilities/actually be any different. Think of it a bit like a permanent illusion, one that can affect the world, bleed, and things like that. Once someone's perception has been set, it is also quite difficult to change without great mental stress so she tends to avoid such things.
Her true form, is difficult for normal humans to comprehend. Most would get a headache as their minds tried to understand what they were seeing. Others simply are too simple to even comprehend that much. A very rare few are able to perceive her form in its entirety, but such individuals are few. Those, special, privileged or unlucky few may be able to discern her true form, but at perhaps great cost to their mental state.
She can, and will, at times manifest some of her true appearance to defend herself if need be. Often an extra arm or two, and some...erm, tentacles. She still prefers a mostly human appearance, so she doesn't hurt any funny humans.
Star BeaconHonestly, her presence in the human world is not something the world exactly likes. She, is a being that should not be present. This has the unfortunate effect of making it easier for...
other things to slip through by her simply being present. Now, normally its not anything bad and its not anything she has control over. She could possibly learn to use it for nefarious purposes, but she has no desire too. Anything that slips through is easily dealt with and nothing dangerous so far as been able to free itself. Some tend to even attack her at times, if anything dangerous slips through.
PersonalityAside from talking to herself, seeming to speak about things in an odd way at times, Bea is perfectly friendly. In fact, she has a bit of a child like curiosity about most things and always seeks to both learn more about what she is looking at and people in general. She can generally either be found in the library reading, or attempting to try some hands on experience with something she's never seen before. She likes people, and likes talking to them. In fact, she can get a bit...handsy with people. She indeed, likes giving people hugs for whatever reason. Likely due to some of that same curiosity that drives her to learn - she wants to know as much about people as she can.
As far as intelligence goes, though, she is either too smart for humans to understand, or she's not all that smart at all. Considering what she is, it is quite likely she simple understands the world in much a different way than humans, but she still tries learning either way.
She does, however, have a bit of a mischievous streak in her. While she does like people, she also likes 'playing' with them. Typically this involves giving them a small bit of a scare at times, or otherwise speaking something rather odd or disconcerting and never saying what she completely means, if she is even capable of it. Also, one should note she seems to view humans with slight...arrogance, as in, she thinks they are there solely for her amusement.
BackgroundBea's History would start with a now mostly defunct cult. This surreptitious cult, believing in such things as otherworldly beings, tried to summon one. Things that would make reality shudder, that were powerful beyond human comprehension. Thankfully for the world, they failed in summoning one of the Great Old ones...but perhaps it wasn't entirely a failure. It wasn't a Great One, but the great ones had blessed them with a child. The cult was eager to say that this child, whatever it was, was the key to something greater.
Thankfully they never got a chance to test that theory. The cult was betrayed by an informant. One who was allied with those who saw such creatures and things abhorrent. In the chaos, the unborn child and the surrogate mother managed to escape. Realized the gravity of the situation, the mother thought about many things, realizing this child may have been the key to disaster. Before she could do anything though, she was told in her dreams, that if she let anything happen to the child - the creature would plunge the world into chaos and make her life a living hell.
So, when the child was born, this person took to raising the child on her own. Ustha, or Bea, as her mom called her, was keenly aware of what she was and she never tried to pretend otherwise. She was a being that should not be here, but was, and she intended to make the best of it. For years, she tried to understand humans and learn things of earth, but it proved difficult. She inherently viewed the world in a much different manner than they. She could, yes, learn to talk, mimic human form well enough and mostly appear as human, but there were some things she could never wrap her head around completely.
After some years, her human mother sent her to this academy. Maybe she could learn something. Over the years, the mother had learned that the child was almost as innocent and fun as any other, and she should not suffer simply for some arbitrary reason that she
could do something.
