## Description

*The ARTIST.* *Creative and imaginative, Pisces has a talent when it comes to the arts! Be it swimming or painting, you can find this alien with her head deep in the oceans. Often a peacemaker and quite a pacifist, Pisces is endlessly compassionate to everyone though she does have her limits and may seem rather naive sometimes... If anyone is up for relaxation and a friend to "go with the flow", you know who to call!*

## Appearance

Pisces has light cyan skin, turquoise eyes with dark teal eyeshadow, and sea green wavy hair topped by a forehead chain of little blue droplets, pale teal fin ruffles hanging from the sides and decorated with a shell on the left side. She wears a cyan off-the-shoulder leotard with pale teal frills, a cyan split skirt shaped into a mermaid tail, a pale teal belt with a light blue shell-shaped buckle around her waist and cyan flippers. She also has a pair of seashell earrings.

## Relationships

### Scorpio and Sagittarius

Pisces would eventually have had enough and stand up for herself. Jovian and Plutonian starlings, Sagittarius and Scorpio are her first true and closest friends. They're also under the tutelage of King Zeus and King Hades respectively.

### Poseidon

Both may have contrasting personalities but there's one thing in common they share, is that they're all about protecting the ocean.

### Cetus

Pisces' endless compassion towards others stems from her strained relationship with her fellow Neptunian starling, Cetus, who's constantly putting her down and at odds with. The latter is also her arch-nemesis and antithesis. Despite Pisces' kindness, sadistic and deceitful Cetus still wants to make her life miserable due to her own insecurities and bitter resentment of being "overlooked" by King Poseidon unlike her so she abuses Pisces to make herself feel superior.

## Skills and abilities

Pisces represents the element of Water and the zodiac sign of the Fish. She is a tall cyan starling at 2.19 metres/7.2 feet who can manipulate water as well as having a flair in the art of painting and drawing.

## Trivia

* Favourite about developing Pisces' character and regarding Cetus is that the latter is meant to serve as a cautionary tale of always "playing the victim".
* The turbulent relationship between Pisces and Cetus is a narrative foil and antithesis to the ones between Taurus and Libra and Gemini and Virgo respectively.
* Pisces is probably inspired by Mermista from She-Ra and Ariel from Disney's The Little Mermaid.
* Pisces is that lovable, supporting character trope who believes she can reform villains with the sheer power of kindness and friendship.
