Under the Electric Stars Season 2
Bicho for Nell Palomo
Indigenous (Wintu) and Mexican trans woman (she/her) in her mid-forties. She lives in and runs the outpost Cair Mallplex, an abandoned mall that became the home of people displaced by the rapid growth of Metropolis West. Before her life in Cair Mallplex, she was drafted into the last battalion of the Space Militia, then became a firefighter. Because of her past in the careers, she prefers to resolve conflict through empathy. She considers herself a caretaker to the people that she has made a home with and intends on keeping them safe, no matter what.
(confidently) Oh, I’m sure they won’t be bothering us any time soon. I’m the one who keeps us safe, after all.
(a little shocked) You thought they disappeared, huh? Guess that tells you what they teach in the Metropolis.
I guess in some ways, I’m still a little regretful. Isn’t that kind of funny?
