⬩ Due to an incident in the early stages of her childhood, Xailah suffers from an irrational fear of rabbits. She will often be nervous when in the vicinity of one; and they may or may not cause sobbing fits. Yes, she who would dare to stare down Cthulhu, is afraid of glorified lint with eyes.

⬩ In 1954 on a business visit to the sister-planet, Earth; Xailah found herself in a weird tangle of connections. The ties would lead her to posing for a tasteful October centerfold of Playboy, having been paid a pretty sum of money to do so. Having second thoughts, Xailah tried to destroy and prevent the printing of the magazines with her picture. Unfortunately, she was unsuccessful, as some copies made it out before a new centerfold was put in. She doesn't know it, but several of her copies are floating around somewhere in the modern era, and can absolutely be found by anyone determined enough to do some digging- much to her horror and embarrassment, should she ever find out. Because as far as those pictures are concerned, she thinks she got rid of them (POV: You're Conan).

⬩ As a traveler of worlds, Xailah has many stories to tell, and may often share them with those willing to listen. Although, they don't always make the most sense, given her old-world way of speaking. Get her comfortable enough, and she may tell you about some wild adventure, as if she were a grandfather reflecting on his time served in some horrible war. In fact, she does actually have some war stories, if you're interested in hearing them.

⬩ An avid collector of many small and shiny knick-knacks, Xailah can be found with many odd items on her person. But, she has an especially strange favoritism for silverware, and will often be seen taking forks and teaspoons from unsupervised cutlery drawers. There is seemingly no explanation for this choice of collectable, and it certainly isn't the weirdest thing you'll see her pick up.

⬩ Capable and well-versed in various methods of singing- there is one type that she is strangely good at: rapping. And she does it especially well in German. Sometimes old radios on her home world would tune into the odd Earth radio station. Falco was a particularly common artist to come across on the stations, and oddly enough, a favorite among some of the older Alptraum family members. So yeah, she can deliver sweet birdsong, but also drop some bars if dared to.

⬩ Looking for a freaky fact? All cryptids that appear primarily humanoid will take on some characteristics of their lesser (and beast) forms- these features range from the obvious to the very discreet. Xailah has clear feline features, but there is one that often goes unnoticed- she has a rough tongue like a cat's, but only towards the back of her throat. The rest is smooth. The sandpaper-like quality provides no benefit, as years of evolution has rendered it moot. This information will likely never be relevant, but it's there I guess.

⬩ In addition to many of her unusual features- seen and unseen- Xailah's ears have an elvish peak to them. OOCly this mostly pays light homage to her humble LotRo origins. To add on to that, her ears have many intricate muscles that allow for a wider range of motion in comparison to human ones- allowing them to wiggle, flatten, move up and down, and express a variety of different emotions.

⬩ Because of her time spent traveling worlds and timelines, it is not unusual to find wisps of evidence implying her "behind the scenes" involvement in many historical events- especially on Earth. She has been a cause for a great many things, though most of the time the specifics don't make it to the history books. Most common references may be found in ancient pieces of literature, or (and more often) Xailah will appear as an out of place character in old artwork. Think of it as a historical game of Where's Waldo, only Waldo is an elusive eldritch entity.
