-**Ysikary** was one of the two [[place:Nekenalos]] [[species:Threadwielders]]. As the guardian of the [[culture:Nayabaru]], she's the creator of [[character:Teranyina]], which should tell you a little about how she died.
-===== Personality =====
-Ysikary's personality could best be described as having been a social sine wave; in several million year intervals, she'd go from "//everyone's best friend//" to a deep resentment of social interaction (usually simply resulting in stretches of deliberate solitude rather than any destructive or hateful behaviour) and back. Linked to her social behaviour was her creative behaviour, which peaked on both ends of the scale, resulting in some phenomenal collaborative as well as solo works, but in sparse intervals.
-In almost all things, she was driven and enthusiastic, expressing a childish glee at even small triumphs. Her attention tended to be strongly focal - once she'd decided on a project, she would obsessively invest time, energy and Free Thread into it until its completion.
-==== Opinions ====
-For the most part, Ysikary considered herself something of a rogue, with no allegiances, be they friend or foe - even when she was working alongside [[character:Jeneth]] and [[character:Evenatra]]. She simply didn't believe in long-term emotional bonds, instead judging people based on her perception of their actions, almost regardless of prior interaction, though her enthusiasm for collaborative projects could easily be mistaken as affection.
-==== Loyalties and Animosities in brief ====
-Ordered roughly from positive to negative, Ysikary:
-  * ...saw [[character:Evenatra]] as a greatly appreciated ally when she fell out with [[character:Jeneth]], to the point where their relationship could be mistaken as romantic.
-  * ...had a long-lasting affection for her plaything culture - the [[culture:Nayabaru]] - while and after it emerged. This was steady largely because she simply did not view them as equals - they were never anyone she ever had to justify herself to.
-  * ...thought it was pretty neat of [[character:Jeneth]] to let her screw around with Earth on her flybys.
-  * ...deliberately held no opinion on [[:Threadwielder]] culture, considering her life chiefly orthogonal to it.
-  * ...had no real opinion on [[character:Valcen]], never really having interacted with him but fleetingly, but leant toward dislike out of prejudice.
-  * ...fell out with [[character:Evenatra]] once the [[culture:kavkema]] manifested as a potential threat to her budding culture and Evenatra refused to 'fix it', though never to the point of hate, simply to the point of wanting to expel her from [[place:Nekenalos]].
-  * ...fell out with [[character:Jeneth]] after he made it clear that his opinion on mass extinctions was "//Natural selection, bitches. It's a good thing.//", even when a grace period of a few scant million years might bring forth true sapience. (That she and Evenatra were most likely wrong about that never did change her stance in retrospect.)
-  * ...deeply disliked the [[culture:kavkema]] for the way they refused to respect the sanctity of life. The fact they're carnivores did not redeem them to her - Evenatra could have worked on something else, after all.
-===== Abilities =====
-Ysikary had the good fortune of finding almost all Thread manipulation easy, to the point where her interest lay mostly in the alteration of complex structures, such as the direct interference with DNA. Her obsessive approach to problems made the solutions to anything she did only a matter of time - including her decision to create a creature that would be able to pose a threat more than an inconvenience to a Threadwielder.
-===== Mythological Significance =====
-Owing to a chiefly acorporeal approach to her world's manipulation, her mythological significance is splintered and fractional where it exists at all. Her avatars were all exclusively biological, without immortality tweaks, so she mostly crops up in [[place:Nekenalos]] history as the leader of the [[culture:Nayabaru]], of the species herself, with no special attributes noted.
