Man'kurr Nocturnym/Mancuria Solsym

## Physical information

**Mancuria Solsym** was a character in *CRiTORA*. She was a Mercury CRiTORA from the Moon District.

In 2023, she was repurposed as Man'kurr Nocturnym.

## Description

***"The Mercury CRiTORA.*** *The first of the Solsyms, Mancuria leads the life of her younger siblings along with their older one Osmehel. Despite being conflicted with one another due to Osmehel's gambling addiction, she knew that they were caring for their family; but when they vanished, Mancuria's responsibilities were doubled, causing her to only leave the Moon District if all the Solsyms were out of their isle, which was rare. Fortunately, Osmehel has returned, and after confronting threats to the Moon District, Mancuria noticed that they were not the same CRiTORA from before the Infestation Invasion."*

## Character

### Physical appearance

Mancuria has an entirely metallic gray body. She has a rounded head, rounded eyes with white irises in a black sclera and sunset orange eyelids, two rounded horns atop her head, droplet-shaped arms that end in spheres that behave as her hands, and beneath her head, she has three appendages, two of which are curled and one that hangs as a drop.

#### Default outfit

She wears a white conic floating hat, dark gray earrings with sunset orange diamonds on the lower ones, white sleeves, and a sunset orange band with a symbol displaying two 'S' overlapped by an eye.

## Story

### *CRiTORA: Abnormal* (initial version)

Mancuria was at the Asteroid Casino listening to the jazz group that gave it life. Osmehel notices her and gets by her side. Mancuria was not happy; she had known about their gambling addiction reaching alarming rates and how it was affecting her responsibilities.

*To be continued...*

## Development

While Daydreaming Birdie had created a Mercury CRiTORA in 2017, it was not until LastyGhost retook the concept of CRiTORA based on the Solar System that it was brought back to the table.

Mancuria never appeared in the series aside from the Pilot Season's intro sequence; however, she, Viridia, and Geno were actively developed by LastyGhost, with a few episodes planned out involving them, such as a skiing adventure at the Winter District. Mancuria's first formal appearance was in November 2022 within the initial version of *CRiTORA: Abnormal*'s novelization.

Mancuria, like most of LastyGhost's CRiTORA characters at the time, and all Solsyms, was retired in Late 2022 due to her fallout with Daydreaming Birdie. Since then, her spot in the series has been taken by Marley Geekipillar, whereas Mancuria herself was repurposed as a Choonieverse character, Man'kurr Nocturnym.

Despite her retired state, Mancuria's CRiTORA design might continue being used sporadically.

### Design

When first designed, Mancuria, like the Mercury CRiTORA from 2017, did not have much going on with her design and was plain gray with some white sleeves. Her redesign from 2021 did not change her much either, aside from given a metallic effect by Daydreaming Birdie.

In Late 2022, she was given makeup, earrings, a conic hat, and a band symbolizing her leadership, shared with Osmehel's presence. Should she have been designed in 2023, she would have had her body color darkened and aspects of her accessories simplified.

### Name

Her first name is derived from *Mercury*. Her last name comes from *Solar System*.
