## Biographical information

### Date of birth

## Physical description

### Gender

Nonbinary (uses she/her and they/them pronouns)

## Appearance

Comet, as stated by her name, takes the form of a space comet. She's a blackish-gray colored chunky snowball rock of space materials. She is usually seen being animated with a faint yet noticeable light purple trail behind her. This trail can disappear completely when she stops moving. Comet sometimes shows flames on herself, given some of the magical alien-like properties that she carries.

## Personality

Comet is best described as a perfectionist and an altruistic individual who tries their best to please everyone around them. But, as a character flaw, they sometimes get angry at the littlest of things that go wrong. While they don’t tend to act mean to other people most of the time, or at least not intentionally, Comet will actually snap at themself for not trying hard enough, showing that they have a side of depression and even possible self-loathing. She tends to look at her mistakes and view them as worse than they actually are, showing a lack of seeing the bigger picture, and even a slight defeatist mentality.

Because she doesn't originate from Earth, Comet is viewed as somewhat of an alien by most of the show’s characters, even more so than Viewer, which is strange considering his humanoid and mystic appearance. Due to this fact, Comet does appear to feel homesick on various different occasions of the show at hand, and finds it hard to understand Earth’s different customs compared to her home region of space.

In terms of vocal performance, Comet has a medium pitched androgynous voice that makes them sound fairly gender neutral, which is a trait that's somewhat fitting, considering Comet is a nonbinary character. Comet tends to speak in a calm, generally softspoken tone. When she's angered, she carries a bit of a squeak in her voice that shows tenseness.

## Abilities

Being an object from space, Comet has some pretty strange and powerful abilities that make her a bit different to the typical run of the mill object you've seen time and time again..

* **Flight:** Comet has the inherent ability to fly in the air, being a comet and all. This allows Comet to get to places most people cannot.
* **Fast Speed:** Combined with their flying abilities, Comet can fly at really fast speeds that are much faster than most things that travel on Earth. That being said, she rarely does this because of the danger of crashing into and hurting the people that she cares about.
* **Glowing:** Comet naturally produces light, similar to Glowstick. This light is somewhat duller and dim, though, and is rendered as not that reliable to see things in the dark. Her glow can change color as a cool subtle effect, giving her nice appearances.
* **Burning:** Comet can release a flame from the core of her body whenever she is angered, which can hurt or burn targets that touch said flame.
* **Coldness:** Comet can become cold to the touch, being discomforting to others.

## Trivia

* Comet is officially stated to be nonbinary, going by both she/her and they/them pronouns. This makes them a character of the LGBT (she could be argued as being genderfluid).
	+ She is also noted to be gynosexual and only expresses attraction to females/feminine presenting people in the narrative.
* Comet is officially the oldest person in the show at hand, being made 10,000 years ago before the show even started in a far off part of space. Copyright is the second oldest with a nice ripe age of over 600. Iron Bar is the third oldest, but is usually considered older than Comet because, mentally, Comet is more of a teenager and Iron Bar is an adult.
	+ The reason she is regarded this way is because she never really did much in her life but orbit certain planets
* Comet has a favorite food: stardust chips, which come from her home star cluster. Her home region is never named.
* Comet is one of three characters in Virtually Gifted who has white facial features instead of the typical black.
	+ The other two people with this quality are VR Headset and Cough Syrup.

* Comet can sometimes lose their trail and stop floating to drop on the ground, showing us that she has a level of mastery over maintaining a level of control over their height and speed. This quality allows Comet to rest for a break whenever needed.
* Comet is one of five students confirmed to not come from any countries from inside or even bordering Raik.
	+ Fedora comes from a different continent called Faros, Votebrackety comes from the Internet, Copyright's birthplace is unknown, and Salsa comes from a fewirn island region not recognized to be part of any continent.
* Comet is considered an object sometimes, and a non-object at other times. They are the only character with this specific quality.
* A running gag is people incorrectly calling Comet other astronomical terms, only for Comet to correct the other person. Another running gag is people alienating Comet because of her being an alien.
	+ Despite the theme of alienation, Comet was voted "3rd cutest" in all of Mcfinny Public School at one point.
