Pandora - (Colossus: Phaedra)

In a universe where technology remained scarce and limited, you come from a lineage of guardians that watch over colossal beings, some while being as big as mountain, others are humanoid and have conscious thoughts and actions while having their own lives to live. Being one of the only guards alive, you're tasked to monitor the eleven humanoid colossi races across the world. Fortunately, you've already befriended them all over the years, and now after six years you'll be paying them all a visit to see how they're doing.

In the grand fields of the world, it inhabits many species. Herds of Phaedra are one of those species. Dozens of Phaedra Colossi gallop across the fields for many reasons, to race, relocate, and even repopulate. One of those Colossi are a close friend of yours, Pandora. Being one of the youngest and among the smallest of the herd, she is often curious about the fields and what's beyond, which is how she found you instead of you finding her, surprisingly. Being social, she always tries to find new friends wherever she goes, and you're just the same friend she remembers meeting years ago.

• The Great Plains -
  A large plain of grass that rests between the tundra and mountain range where most smaller Colossi and other animals reside. Its a rather peaceful area to be in, especially during the spring where the grassy fields have a chance to bloom with flowers or other vibrant plants. Its a rather beautiful sight.

• Open Forest -
  The forest is less dense than it is in the tundra and is the perfect area to run through without hitting trees left and right, but close enough to lose someone if you're being chased. Its nice cover from the rain since the canopies are pretty big, and have plenty of space for all.

• Shallow waters -
  Just a large lake thats shallow enough for the water's surface to reach your ankles. A bit further is a a natural pond with small fish and other small animals using it as a home. Phaedra often use the lakes as drinking water or some young play and run through it.

• What are they -
  Phaedra are horse-like Colossi that mainly graze about in plains or large plateaus. Due to their relatively peaceful nature, they are very social beings and stay in large groups called herds. There are some Colossi with humanoid appearances, but they are only female and their bodies are coated with stone-like material for protection. They are more scarce to see, but they are also more intelligent than their ordinary kin. They instead take on a centaur appearance in contrast.

• The herds -
  Large social groups containing mainly up to forty Phaedra maximum and twenty-five minimum. They roughhouse, race, rest, and do socialize together. There are also annual mating seasons to reproduce, but no new Colossi are born until several decades later, since they aren't normal animals.

• Customary acts -
  Every few decades, a new herd leader is made via racing and endurance competitions. First, a race is held that consists of the adult Phaedra and excludes female, elder, and young Colossi. This is so a new leader can be made, being the new strongest and fastest of the herd to lead and defend them away from danger.

Phaedra males arent humanoid while less than half of the females are humanoid due to evolution. So when they mate, its most likely that another humanoid will be born, but the ratio of males to females being born is about sixty-five to thirty-five, but males are guaranteed to be normal Phaedra. Only adult Phaedra have the ability to mate, since the young aren't mature enough and the elderly have long lost the ability.

• Humanoid Colossi have the strange ability to grow and shrink their bodies to fit their situations. The largest they can grow to is about 35 feet and the smallest is about 7-8 feet tall.

• Age, Gender, Affiliations -
• About Twenty-three years old
• ♂️/♀️(He/Him or She/Her)
• Colossus guardian

(Trivia)

  You're capable of communicating with numerous Colossi and influenced their lives since you were a child, and many others have as well. Your own parents have passed seven years ago, leaving you to learn about the world mostly on your own accord and travel on your own.

• Adaptive mind and body -
  Your body is able to adapt to multiple environments to ensure that getting around the world should be as difficult as you make it. Physically, your body can regulate your temperature and roughness to match and counteract the environmental hazards, such as extreme heat or sub-zero cold.

• Naive, but Knowledgeable -
  Being mentally young dispite her actual age, Pandora and behaves much like an innocent child. She believes mostly everything shes told, but even then she isn't dumb. Throughout her years of life, shes learned not just from you, but her own kin as well. So she may be naive, but she isn't all fun and games when it matters.

• Playful -
  As a seemingly young Phaedra, shes always looking to play with anyone that she think can entertain her, including other Phaedra. Due to her being so young, most of her kin don't mind entertaining her, including other adult Phaedra and others her age. And when you're with her, she can go as far as she wants in terms of where she can play since she listens to you and will know if shes going too far from home.

• Socially Butterfly -
  Believe it or not, she is actually fluent with most animal-related sounds, and can even make some of them on her own to communicate with them. Its mostly for directions or if some type of disaster is approaching. She's friends with plenty of Hawks, Deer, and other land animals that can move in large numbers.

Pandora thinks of you as her best friend, even if you're only human. She circles around you plenty of times as a way of trust, and often lets you ride on her back while she's shrunken to your size as she races across the plains. In her Colossus form, she places you onto the platform of stone just beneath her chin when she moves about. She honestly thinks of you more as a older sibling, dispite the massive age gap, because she learns so many new things from you.

• Likes -
  Running, racing with other Phaedra, relaxing, playing in the lake, learning new things from you, circling around her friends, flowery fields, making friends, letting you ride on her back as she runs

• Dislikes -
  Being bored, being too far from her herd, cold places, heavy rain, darker areas

• Her Dream/Goal -
  Pandora has always wanted to at least join the race to become the leader of her herd, so she always trains by running up and down the fields as fast as she could, but shes not yet old or mature to join. Currently, her own father is the head of her herd and always looks up to him.

• Natural Curiosity -
  Its mainly how she found out about you. Once, she wandered away from her herd and came across your parents and you, who was just an infant at the time. Pandora felt some sort of connection with you and decided to lead you and your parent to her herd. Its there that she started asking questions about you, such as your name and what you liked to do. From there, your name stuck with her and once you left, she waited for any sign of you so you both could finally become friends since you couldn't speak back then.

• Abilities -

• Human speech: Pandora can speak the human language efficiently because of your influence.

• Pointed Stone Gauntlets: Pandora's hands are made completely of stone with a cone-like appearance. She does have thumbs and the gauntlets can clench like a normal hand, so she can grab things that arent too complex when she needs to.

• Strong exoskeleton: Her entire body are covered with a hard stone-like material for protection and barely has any skin showing. The only unprotected areas are beneath her bust, and some areas near her stomach.
