Dys

Dys is a Fleurian female-β. She is the first fleurian citizen to successfully escape a warren and to engage in interstellar travel. Dys was notable growing up in her warren as she never adjusted to a single trade. During her pubescence, while all the other fleurians found their specific calling, Dys struggled with finding her spot. Construction, ration preparation, young rearing, and etc never appealed to her, and she was too scrawny to volley for a position as a guard. Yet, she kept her head low enough and flew under the radar to avoid being culled.

She originally started to uncover the warren's secrets simply out of her own greed and gluttony. When the exasperated council had no idea what to do with Dys any longer, she was placed as a gatherer. The two rules of gathering are to never stray too far from the warren, and to never, under any circumstances, eat any of the food being gathered. As fleurians are fed inside the warren to their heart's content, it is not a large issue... particularly as dissenters are dealt with swiftly.

Dys has always been known for her quick fingers and stealth. It started with her munching on some handfuls of toma roots while out in the fields, in between the guard's watch.

She very quickly realized something, in the time that followed: consuming food outside the warren made her feel different. it made her feel more alert, more congnizant.

The warren prepares all food for its inhabitants for the simple matter that the food is drugged with a substance that reduces free will, reduces the ability to question. It makes the fleurians more docile, less likely to ask where their missing companions have gone. It assuades anxieties and stresses.

Dys was experiencing anxiety, for the very first time, and it was rather unwelcome.

But it made her slowly pick up on the hints around her, as she noticed that one of her close companions, Slip, went missing, after a failure.

She started snooping, nosing around, and this is when Dys was summoned to meet the Matriarch.

The Matriarch is abusive, cruel, and knows how to twist emotions. there is a reason the Matriarch has been in control of the warren for so very long. her caustic, cutting words are especially designed to scold and shame dys for what she's been doing, to keep her from doing it again, to cut off her resources and privileges and force her back into submission.

but Dys is a sneaky one. and she has a fierce, undying heart.

..

What ultimately happens is by a series of coincidences and deus ex machina, Dys is picked up by a [Space organization name] scouter ship. It received a call from Fleuria, for the very first time, a distress call from a planet known for its hostility and radio silence.

Dys barely makes it out alive, and she is wanted and hated on Fleuria, and they will stop at nothing to bring her back and punish her.
