== Appearance ==
Xi Xi has long, dark violet hair and sky blue eyes that, like all Psions, lack visible pupils or irises. They reflect the light in bright green and yellow. She lacks a nose, like the rest of the species, instead relying on special gill-like plarak located on each side of her neck to breath and smell. Two pairs of pointed, small ears line the sides of her head and provide optimal hearing. She wears her hair short, with a portion of strands framing one side of her face. Due to her astigmatism, she wears a pair of squared glasses when reading. Dark purple markings, called pokri, line each side of her face and down her back.
Xi Xi wears the Alliance chaplain uniform when on duty tailored to her species, with the blue and yellow color scheme of the medical corps and a shoulder pad on her right arm denoting her rank as a lieutenant. She is short in stature for a Psion, standing at only 5'5", and has a heavy body set. Her legs, like all Psions, are digitigrade with legs ending in furred hooves.
Her voice is described as light and feminine with a slight accent of her Psio upbringing. She is described as having a very nurturing and warm demeanor, though her ire can be intense when earned.
