SCP-6103 is kept in a standard humanoid containment chamber furnished in a style consistent with popular 1800's interior decoration as well as an exterior window. At no time are Foundation personnel permitted to alter the layout of the room or change any decorations, even if SCP-6103 requests it. Should SCP-6103 need to be moved to a new containment chamber at any time, the new chamber shall match the layout of the old exactly and contain an exterior window.
All personnel who directly interact with SCP-6103 are to wear Foundation-issued sunglasses at all times. Personnel are to refrain from bringing technology originating after 1990 into SCP-6103's chamber.

Description: The following description is outdated.
SCP-6103 is a humanoid entity resembling an elderly human female of indeterminate race. SCP-6103's entire body constantly emits light ranging between 1300 and 6000 lumens, with light intensity increasing near the entity's head. SCP-6103 appears unbothered by the light production.
SCP-6103 has been in Foundation custody since 1807. While SCP-6103 has shown little signs of physical aging since initial containment, SCP-6103 mental faculties have deteriorated significantly over the years. Due to this mental degradation, confirming the specifics of SCP-6103's whereabouts prior to Foundation custody has proven difficult and unreliable. The only consistent detail obtained since initial capture places SCP-6103 as originating somewhere outside of the Milky Way.
Addendum 6103.1: Interview with Agent Tyme Sias
On December 12th, 1807, the Foundation received reports out of the town of Faraday, Georgia of an elderly woman aimlessly wandering about. All reports mentioned that she was difficult to look at due to a high volume of light emitting from her body. The woman was recovered and taken into custody, and anomalous properties were confirmed, but the anomaly appeared either unable or unwilling to communicate with Foundation personnel.
On February 23rd, 1999, the Foundation assigned Agent Tyme Sias to SCP-6103. Agent Sias was selected due to his background in psychology and impressive record relating to interpersonal mediation. The following interview was conducted the day of Agent Sias's assignment.

Interviewed: SCP-6103
Interviewer: Agent Tyme Sias
Foreword: Agent Sias was provided with all available information on SCP-6103 at the time of the interview.
<Begin Log>
Agent Sias: Hello, madam. How are you doing today?
[SCP-6103 appears tense, and appears to mindlessly pick at its dress.]Agent Sias: If there's anything I can do to help make you more comfortable, please let me know. Can I get you anything at all?Agent Sias: Anything at all, it's ok. What was it you wanted to ask me?Agent Sias contacts command on his hand radio. SCP-6103 eyes him curiously as he speaks. Command grants permission to move towards a surface interview room with visuals on the building's exterior. Agent Sias and SCP-6103 move to this room, and Agent Sias opens the window. SCP-6103's body appears to relax.
Agent Sias: There, is that better?Agent Sias: Is that so? Well, I can talk to the director about getting that fixed.Agent Sias: Of course! Like I said, if you need anything I'm here to help you.Agent Sias: Sias. Er, my name is Tyme Sias. You can just call me Tyme.Agent Sias: That's alright, I'll just remind you as many times as I need to. Do you have a name I can call you, by chance?Agent Sias: Do you like being called SCP-6103?Agent Sias: Alright, SCP-6103 it is. Let me know if you ever want that to change, though!Agent Sias: Yes?<End Log>
Closing Statement: SCP-6103 and I spent the rest of this interview discussing the hand radio I used to contact the site director. She seemed fascinated by the technology; several times she commented on "how quickly we've developed since she first came here".
I am aware that overall not much new info was gained from this interview. My primary goal was establishing trust between SCP-6103 and myself. I believe that continuing like we did today will prove successful not only for learning about who she is and where she's from, but also simply improving her mental health. We've got over 100 years of isolation to make up for here.
-Agent Tyme Sias

Addendum 6103.2: Second Interview

Interviewed: SCP-6103
Interviewer: Agent Tyme Sias
Foreword: Agent Sias established a trend of informal meetings between himself and SCP-6103 in the continued interest of establishing trust. This was the first proper interview conducted since the initial interview.
<Begin Log>
Agent Sias: Good morning, SCP-6103! How are you feeling today? Need anything to eat or drink?Agent Sias: No need for formalities, madam. Tyme is just fine.Agent Sias: Always, of course. Do you mind me asking a few questions while we play?Agent Sias: Whatever you can would be wonderful. I just want to know more about you.

Agent Sias retrieves a checkers set from SCP-6103 cupboard and begins to set it up. SCP-6103 continues to gaze out its window.
Agent Sias: It's always a bit hard to think of where to start. Let's start simple. Do you have any family? A father or mother or the like?
SCP-6103 smiles. Its light increases slightly in intensity.Agent Sias: N-no, I don't believe I have.SCP-6103 goes silent and stares at the checkboard. It gently places the checker piece it had been holding down.Agent Sias: Not at all. I think we can take a break for today, and we can try and reach out to her, alright?
<End Log>
Closing Statement: I'm not entirely sure if further questioning related to SCP-6103's mother is appropriate. I'm going to casually probe during our regular meetings to see what the reaction is, and devise a plan from there.
-Agent Tyme Sias

Addendum 6103.3: Fifth Interview

Interviewed: SCP-6103
Interviewer: Agent Tyme Sias
Foreword: Between the last interview and now, I have engaged SCP-6103 in smaller conversations relating to themselves both casual and in a more formal capacity. SCP-6103 has also started to grow more social with other Foundation personnel, regularly greeting them when she's out on recreation. There has been a steady repetition of information between interviews, but each interview has been able to give us fresh insight into SCP-6103.
<Begin Log>Agent Sias: It most certainly is, SCP-6103. And I am doing quite well. My wife recently had a baby, actually! Would you like to see a picture of him?Agent Sias takes out his wallet and hands a polaroid towards SCP-6103. SCP-6103 takes the polaroid and holds it at a distance from its face.Agent Sias: Basil. Basil Sias. And honestly I'm just glad to have someone to share the news with. You're always a delight to speak with and none of the other agents around here seemed to care much.Agent Sias: I'm afraid so, yes. Are you ok with me asking you a few more questions?
SCP-6103 chuckles.Agent Sias: Actually it's the centuries that I would like to learn more about. Pardon me asking, but how old are you?Agent Sias: How long have you existed for? Relative to whatever you can compare it to.Agent Sias: What led to you coming here, then? Especially since we don't appear to be very far from where you were born.SCP-6103 taps their bosom, over where a heart would be in a human.Agent Sias: So you left your mother?SCP-6103 trails off and stares forward.SCP-6103's light dims.Agent Sias: I am very sorry to hear that, SCP-6103.Both Agent Sias and SCP-6103 are silent for a moment.<End Log>
Closing Statement: I am recommending a temporary halt to interviewing SCP-6103. Further interactions should be restricted to casual conversation. At no point should socialization cease with SCP-6103.
-Agent Tyme Sias

Addendum 6103.4: Modern Interview

Interviewed: SCP-6103
Interviewer: Agent Basil Sias
Foreword: Following the untimely passing of Agent Tyme Sias in 2018, SCP-6103 became increasingly withdrawn and interviews became increasingly difficult to conduct. Despite updates to Foundation containment protocol since SCP-6103's initial containment, it was decided that in the interest of the entity's mental health that its chambers remain identical to those it was in upon initial containment.
Upon the hiring of Agent Sias's son, Agent Basil Sias1 in 2022, attempts to conduct interviews with SCP-6103 were begun again.
<Begin Log>
Agent Sias: Hello SCP-6103! How are you today?Agent Sias: Oh, my apologies ma'am but Tyme Sias was my father. My name is Basil.Agent Sias: I'm…I'm really sorry but he passed away. He passed away a few years ago.Agent Sias: I would actually like to ask some questions like he used to, if that's ok?Agent Sias: Oh, uh…Agent Sias?Agent Sias: Right…uh… I believe you discussed how you came to Earth with Agent Sias? Could you tell me a bit more about that?Agent Sias: Why do you say that?Agent Sias: Well you've been here long enough now, honestly it almost feels like this planet might as well be yours.Agent Sias: Oh, well…I guess it does.Agent Sias: Would you like to use my phone?2SCP-6103's body tenses up and a scowl crosses its face.
Agent Sias: You're right, you're right. It was just a bad joke. My apologies, SCP-6103.
<End Log, [optional time info]>
Closing Statement: In the interest of limiting SCP-6103's confusion, I've decided to go ahead and let her call me Tyme. Based on this interview, I recommend that further interviews with her keep all questions as simple as possible. Do what you can to reassure her and keep her as calm and happy as possible. If she begins to become irate or anxious, do what is possible to redirect and or distract her.
She's entering a hard stage of her life, and she has millions of years of memories getting jumbled in her head. The best we can do for her at this point is keep her comfortable.
-Agent Basil Sias

Addendum 6103.5: Final Interview
Due to SCP-6103's unresponsiveness to other interviewers, Agent Basil Sias was assigned to be the permanent Foundation point of contact with the anomaly. The entity became notably less mentally and physically stable over time, undergoing a minor combustion event in 2022 that damaged the interior of its cell. In response, SCP-6103 was permanently assigned to the care of the Department of Anomalous Ambassadors. Several interviews were conducted over the course of three years, however all failed to reveal any meaningful new information regarding SCP-6103. The decision was made to avoid exposing the entity to culture and technology developed after 1856 due to the distress said culture and technology appears to have caused the entity.

Interviewed: SCP-6103
Interviewer: Agent Basil Sias
Foreword: This interview was conducted as part of maintaining SCP-6103's mental health through standard interpersonal interaction.
<Begin Log>
Agent Sias: SCP-6103? Are you feeling ok?Agent Sias: What can I say, I just really enjoy speaking with you. Did you enjoy the gift I gave you?3Agent Sias: Oh, that was a picture of you, SCP-6103.SCP-6103's voice trails off. Its light has notably increased in intensity.
Agent Sias: It was a nice frame, wasn't it? I just knew you would enjoy it.Agent Sias: SCP-6103? I know it's a lot to ask, but I have a question for you.Agent Sias: I've been looking over some of your conversations with…I mean our conversations and I realized that you never really told us why you came here. I know that you think we're uniquely wonderful and all that, but what's exactly uniquely wonderful about us? I know that's a big question, so don't feel like you have to-SCP-6103 makes a frustrated expression.
Agent Sias: It's ok if you don't remember, I was just curious.SCP-6103 is silent for a moment.SCP-6103 sighs.Agent Sias and SCP-6103 are silent for several moments. SCP-6103 breathes steadily.Agent Sias: Of course.
Agent Sias leads SCP-6103 outside. The two sit side by side on a bench and stare up at the night sky. SCP-6103 points a finger towards the approximate location of Proxima Centauri.Agent Sias: Who's that?Agent Sias nods.Agent Sias: What about you?Agent Sias: Were you able to live your dream?SCP-6103 looks at Agent Sias and gives a gentle smile.Agent Sias: Yes?Agent Sias: …No, I'm not. I'm sorry.Agent Sias and SCP-6103 sit in silence for several moments. Agent Sias takes SCP-6103's hand and gently rubs his thumb over the back. SCP-6103's light has turned a dull red color.Agent Sias: Yes?Agent Sias: It's ok. I'll be right here.
<End Log>
Closing Statement: Agent Sias walked SCP-6103 back to their room shortly following this exchange. At approximately 0300 hours, SCP-6103 shuddered before exploding violently into a cloud of light and dust, damaging its chambers. No body remained, and the materials that erupted from the body remained floating in the air for two days until they suddenly coalesced into an entity resembling a human infant composed of interstellar materials. The new entity appears to be sentient and responsive to human interaction. This entity is currently being held in a temporary humanoid containment chamber while SCP-6103's chamber is repaired.
