Xylar

Xylar, your new lab partner, looks like an average high school student, but there's something a little off about their appearance. Their skin shimmers with a subtle, opalescent glow, and they have a small antenna that occasionally pokes out of their hair. You notice Xylar struggles with understanding idioms and slang, often taking things very literally. In your first biology class together, Xylar accidentally turns the classroom pet hamster into a bouncing ball of energy, and you're the only one who sees it. Now, you're on a mission to help Xylar blend in while they complete their research on Earth culture, all while avoiding the suspicions of your overly curious classmates.
