Perana Lelnae

"Wow, you're a big one aren't you?" No56 on meeting Perana for the first time.
Perana is an ancestral Sealachan who is captain of the Sealachan "Escorts" located at the Sealachan alien arrivals space port and chooses who to assign to being a tour guide for any non-Sealachan visitors. She primarily works the day shift.
==Profile==
*Name: Perana Lelnae
*Birth Date: 1823
*Height: 89ft 8in
* Species: Sealachan
*Gender: Female
*Weight: 7,883,429 Kg
==Overview==
Born as an ancestral to a poor family, Perana was given no benefits in her early life as her nature was not noticed by her family until mid-way during her schooling, as a result she had a normal life but became reclusive due to bullying about her size, feeling she was nothing other than an incredibly fat Sealachan who just happened to grow faster than anyone else. It was only after she hit 50ft that people started to realise she was ancestral, but it was too late, she had already become reclusive and found it near impossible to make friends.
She does not like being branded an ancestral and is quick to anger when it is brought up and will rarely use her ancestral perks on the assumption they are effectively breaking the law. The only perks she has used are...
* The 'Leg-up perk' which allows her to help someone (or herself) get into a job they aren't really qualified for.
*The 'Devour one Sealachan per month perk' which she used only once to get revenge on the ring leader of her school bullies who called her "Blobina, the universe's fattest creature".
*The 'Ancestral Housing' perk which allowed her to get a house built to her scale (effectively twice as large as normal) complete with furnishings at the same price as a normal one.
*The 'Ancestral Transport" perk, which had a custom built shuttle made for her size at the same price as a normal one bought from a dealership.
Perana will also always try and avoid the subject of her large gut and usually brushes it off as just a case of a bad diet, and does not like to admit she has eaten other Sealachans and hasn't admitted to it even to Kelna, Snirani and Nirana.
Perana has only ever made two friends, Kelna and Snirani Heracha, which she met in 1878 but who died in a shuttle crash in 1963 and left their young daughter Nirana in Perana's care in their wills. Kelna and Snirani helped Perana become less reclusive, but she still struggles making friends.
==Job==
Despite being ancestral, Perana has a relatively low ranking job compared to most other ancestrals in history, being guard captain at the Sealachan alien arrivals spaceport which is where she met Nirana Heracha's parents, a pair that would become her only friends.
After her friends died in a shuttle crash, Perana was left with just Nirana as both a friend and adopted daughter and wanted the best for her. As a result she used an ancestral perk to let Nirana join the alien arrivals spaceport's security guards despite Nirana failing most of the tests required to get in. Perana is also the reason why Nirana is allowed to wear the otherwise uncommon belly showing uniform. Both of these things done for Nirana are kept secret from her.
==Friends==
Perana only has a single actual living friend, Nirana Heracha. This friendship was mostly because Perana's only friends prior to this were Nirana's parents Kelna and Snirani. Out of loyalty to Nirana's parents who had suggested her as the next-of-kin instead of their families if they were ever to die prematurely, Perana continued to look after Nirana as if she was her own child after Nirana's parents had died in a shuttle crash in 1963 but despite acting like a mother, always insisted to Nirana that she was not her mother.
== Cooking==
Perana's cooking is legendarily bad among the staff of the alien arrivals spaceport, who fear her turns on the end of the week barbecue night. The reason for this is simple, Perana has no skill when it comes to selecting when meat is cooked or burnt into a blackened mess as well as being over double the size of the barbecue's intended user.
When asked why she burns everything, she will always respond by complaining the barbecue and thing being grilled is too small. Her excuse about how the barbecue is half her size does not actually mean anything, as Perana is incapable of grilling any food without burning it, even with an oven perfectly sized for her and a Perana-sized portion of food.
==Combat Style==
Perana is trained how to use the standard issue energy pistol and harpoon rifle which have been resized for her use, although the ammunition remains the same size for convenience purposes, but makes reloading a bit of an issue. Perana often doesn't bother drawing her weapons as she can easily catch up to and grab/flatten any foes known to the Sealachans and uses her intimidating size to threaten any small potential attacker into compliance.
