Skellerina

**Debut** | TBA

**Skellerina** is the Simplicitrix/Stabilized Simplicitrix's DNA sample of a Habere'Autemossisad Colligunt'Tecum from the planet Horretdescendittuaspina, orbiting the planet of Regiis-Reptilium. She is a free-use alien originally made by WTB.

## Appearance

Skellerina is a feminine reptilian humanoid with serpentine features, mostly covered in dark purple scales, with golden yellow scales down the innermost sides of her arms and tail, all the way to her fingers, while her visible fangs and clawed toes are of the same color too, all with a moderate glow. Skellerina has a slender face with slit nostrils in a diamond shape when put together, pitch-black eyes with pinpoint glowing red pupils, thin black eyebrows, long silver hair, similarly glowing and obscuring the right side of her face, that stretches down to her lower-back, five fingers on each hand, four toes on each digitigrade foot, with large yellowed bone growths that emerge from her raised heels and serve as support, giving them the appearances of high heels, and a very large, plump tail that ends in a bone growth resembling a double-sided dagger, with a small purple diamond in the center between them. Her outfit consists of a gray top with a bright red, heart-shaped neckline, a red waistline connected to a gray loincloth that splits into two halfway down, the right side longer than the left side, and gray gloves and leggings, reaching the middle of her biceps and shins respectively, topped with red stripes.

Skellerina wears the Simplicitrix on the back of her right hand.

## Personality

Skellerina has a very eerie, gothic presence to them, only emphasized by her stiff movements and stilted mannerisms, low, whispering voice, and morbid fascination with anything related to mortality, both life and death. Despite being regarded as an emotionless buzzkill that unintentionally terrifies her close allies, Skellerina has incredible levels of patience and sensibility, on the top of the creative, although usually extremely brutal ways that she can use her abilities on others, such as slowly piecing back together the fragments of a compound fracture through someone's skin.

## Powers

* Skellerina can transform anything they come in contact with into bone matter, inducing instantaneous ossification and calcifying others into solid statues. Through her precise psychic manipulation over bone tissue, Skellerina can manipulate them with her mind alone, even ones not originally her own, or more grotesquely, ones currently inside living organisms, and use them in an array of different applications, such as condensing and melding them together into solid constructs, such as weaponry and shields, painlessly pushing bony plates out from underneath her scales to armor herself or cover up wounds, and manipulating the density of bones, strengthening and weakening the skeletons of others.
	+ Skellerina's own skeleton can absorb hundreds of times the amount of shock impact compared to the average person, allowing her to survive devastating blunt force trauma without any life-threatening internal damage, while her organs are also protected underneath them. In the scenario where her shock absorption becomes overwhelmed or bypassed, her bones only become thicker and stronger with each healed fracture, enlarging the size of her skeleton and thickening her muscles and scales, with each new breakage only making her bigger and tougher.
	+ Skellerina can launch razor-sharp bone fragments, namely from the end of her tail, but can also push them through between her scales to fire them out as pressurized projectiles, easily severing cleanly through limbs and piercing vital organs to fatally incapacitate opponents.
	+ Skellerina can manipulate the articulation of joints around her, not only the joints of skeletons through her bone manipulation, but anything with joints in general, such as complex machinery and structures, controlling how fast or slow that they rotate.
* Skellerina has "precognitive durability," in the form of an extremely reactive danger sense that when getting the gut reaction of an attack coming her way, will trigger a defense mechanism and automatically push bone spikes out from underneath her scales, either forming a shield to block the attack, or armor to withstand the attack.
* Skellerina's bioluminescent eyes and scales passively generate an aura of x-ray radiation she can laser-focus through her optic nerves to see through others and analyze as deep as their bone marrow, precisely scanning for and detecting signs of damage. With enough concentration, Skellerina can project the x-ray radiation through her teeth and out of her mouth as spiraling laser-thin beams of biological heat.
* Skellerina has enhanced strength, durability, agility, speed, reflexes, senses, namely sight and scent, and crawling, being very nimble on her feet and able to easily dodge linear attacks.
* Skellerina has sharp fangs and a prehensile tail.

## Weaknesses

* Skellerina's creepy personality can freak others out, or at worse, even aggravate them.
* Skellerina's impact absorption can be overwhelmed with multiple consecutive impacts, such as rapid-fire punches.
* Skellerina's breakage empowerment can be negated if her bones are in a condition they cannot regenerate, such as being disintegrated or melted.
* Skellerina's articulation manipulation cannot cause or stop motion, only manipulating the motion of joints when they are already in such a state.
* Skellerina's x-ray breath isn't necessarily that strong on their own, although their spiraling motions can make opponents difficult to predict their path, thus taking them by surprise.
* Skellerina's abilities can be negated by the osteokinesis of Cruxamicientes-Curriculos, as their hormone manipulation can fully take control over one's skeletal system.

## Etymology

* Skellerina's name is a play on "skeleton" and "ballerina."
* Skellerina's species name is the Latin translation of the phrase "have a bone to pick with you."
* Skellerina's planet name is the Latin translation of the phrase "shivers down your spine."

## Trivia

* Skellerina pays homage to Gwen Darcy from *RWBY*, with her heart-shaped neckline and split loincloth being inspired by her dress, her ability of razor-sharp bone fragment projectiles through the dagger-shaped blade on the tip of her tail based off her throwing knives, and her namesake and ability of aim dodging referencing the fact Gwen's outfit and fighting style resembles a ballerina.
* Skellerina's glowing purple, gold, and silver color scheme references the dragon forms of the God of Light and the God of Darkness, also from *RWBY*.
* Skellerina's bone density manipulation ability was first conceptualized for Crystal Skull with the suggestion that he would retain his density manipulation abilities from Skele-TON, although upon Blake deciding to take a different direction, the ability was instead given to Skellerina.
* Skellerina's articulation manipulation was given the fanon "kinesis" term of "Árthrosiskinesis," as any other available name for them wasn't listed anywhere on their affiliated page on the Superpower Wiki.
* Like Tantrum, Breath Penalty, Amphiptheater, Stomache, Kitty Splitter, MaTrix, Capturrific, Liesight, Dovahskiin, KobOld Fashioned, Titty Titty Bang Bang, Murphy's Maw, Kanjiration, Headstrong, Pretzelcoatl, Liczard, Thunder Thighs, Cindurance, Defenderm, Draguardian Angel, Draconomaly, and Primalfunction, Skellerina comes from the same planet as Dragon Queen, mainly originating from one of their planet's moons, explaining the similarities in design, abilities, and the fact all of them are exclusively female due to their genetic similarities.
	+ However, while Dragon Queen is a humanoid dragon, Skellerina is a humanoid lindwyrm, depicted as wingless serpentine-like dragons with clawed forelimbs, evident by Skellerina's serpentine face and very prominent tail.
