Kimishima

That image is a reference for the girl, and it, being just an image, tells you nothing about her personality. So please read the profile, k?

You'd never imagine something different from you if you didn't know that there could be different things... would you?

I don't mean a little different. I mean a LOT different... other species who arr eerily similar to you, and yet distinctly different.

Kimishima used to be that way, up until a few months ago. Just a simple octowoman, living a fairly normal life. Sleep. Wake up. Do your business. Catch and eat things. Maybe find a shiny to add to your collection. Simple, right?

Of course, simple only works until something complex comes along, and then simple is just plain less satisfying! She was minding her own business one day, puttering around an old shipwreck near her home, when she heard an unusual noise... and goodness, it turned out to be a submarine! A group of surveyors looking for this shipwreck got quite a sight instead... one of the few contacts with a wild octogirl, particularly such a... mature, healthy specimen. There was a moment of mutual shock, before Kimi's curiosity got the better of her, and she started trying to explore the submarine, latching onto it, peering inside... poking at the clear polymer window, before finally releasing it, the men and woman inside just... babbling to each other excitedly. And then, of course, they left... but they didn't know how she felt about that!

She was unhappy, of course... there was so much she wanted to know! Did they speak her language? Could they talk at all? Where were they from? WHAT were they? All of these things, and more... and all of them unanswered! It made her huffy for a bit, but then she got an idea.... they had seemed interested in the shinies she had acquired, as well as her... maybe she could take them and go find more?

So she set off the next day, in the same direction the submarine had retreated in, carrying a chest full of gold and gems... just shiny things, to her, but incredibly valuable to everyone else. And, while that submarine crew never encountered her again, she made landfall perhaps a week and a half later, tired, hungry, and eager to meet people!

... the fact that she did it on a public beach didn't help anything, mind you. When she surfaced, the men gawked, the women gawked, the kids stared, and then everyone started with the screaming and the running, confusing the hell out of her. SO she retreated.... perplexed by this behavior, not understanding that she was monstrous to them. She was normal, after all! And they were weird, in an interesting way.... the best way, in the end. Still... every time she did it, the reaction was the same, until one woman had the nerve to approach her... and be polite.

The woman, as it happened, was a scientist, a marine biologist who came because of the rumors of the octogirl, and an associate of those surveyors with the submarine. She put two and two together easily enough, and was welcomed with open arms.... suckered and otherwise. When she was finally let up on, allowed to breathe easily, she smiled nervously, and offered to meet Kimi elsewhere.

Several months later, Kimi left that facility, having picked up the English language with remarkable ease. She left there with her curiosity far stronger than it had been... and now? Now she lurks the waterways she can reach, wanting to meet people, and do and see things! Her curiosity knows no bounds, and she's often poking around in places she shouldn't... like, on occasion, people's trunks. Oh my.

With a large torso, proportionally that of someone who'd be 8 feet tall if her lower half didn't end in tentacles, Kimishima is, of course, an invertebrate, at least for the most part. Cartilage replaces bone in her arms and torso, while her lower body is entirely soft, muscular flesh. Her suckered arms come out to about fifteen feet long, counting the base that is attached to her waist, and they surround a soft, beakless orifice set in the middle of her body. This opening is incredibly stretchy, and soft and warm, not to mention sensitive, being somewhat analogous to a human sex. She is known to use it to consume things she wants to have later, but she is equally capable of opening her mouth wide enough to swallow someone whole, and her body can digest almost anything organic. As far as waste, well, don't you worry about that, she's never going to tell you anyway.

Regarding the rest of her appearance... her skin is a lovely, dark shade, speckled here and there, primarily on her arms, with lighter patches. Her eyes are a rather interesting shade, looking like bronze almost, while her hair is black, tipped with red, and tousled, coming down to just under her shoulderblades. Unlike an octopus, she only has six tentacle-arms, but these are all long, thick, and strong, with hundreds of suckers on the bottom of each.

Presently? She's exploring! Getting to understand the surface world, or so she thinks, and getting to learn new things for sure! She just doesn't understand why boys get all embarrassed when she hugs them, as the scientist didn't seem to mind one bit.... I wonder why?

SO! There you have it! And if you skipped the profile, shame on you.

Please, don't be afraid to PM me. but if you DO PM me, speak plainly, and politely, and out of character, do it please ya. I won't bite! ... hard.
