Nyx

Nyx is a catlike alien from Altea and Astraea Smythe's pet.

Physical description
Nyx is the size of a young Earth housecat with dark black hair, pale blue stripes, and an orange patch on its tail. She has big blue ears with an orange stripe of fur on her head as well. She has red eyes with yellow-orange sclerae.

Personality
There isn't much about Nyx's personality. Though, she does have some way of understanding the Alteans and Humans to a degree. She tends to just hang near Astraea and/or Allura, watching them. Nyx has a habit of sitting on Astraea's should, tail wrapped around her neck and just sit and watch, or snooze. She ends up finding Pidge fascinating and hangs around with her a lot. Nyx can almost always be found near Astraea never straying far from her master. Despite the different species, she goes get along well with the Space Mice. She often helps them out with their schemes finding them fun and interesting.

Pidge
Nyx enjoys spending time with Pidge, though it's probably mostly due to the heat that comes from her laptop which is why Nyx enjoys being near the Green Paladin.

Powers

 * Feline physiology: Nyx possesses some qualities of a feline.
 * Enhanced senses and awareness
 * Enhanced flexibility and balance

Background
Astraea got Nyx shortly after the passing of her parents. Coran got her for Astraea as a gift in hopes it could help her recover from the passing of her parents, and also help her during the war.

Nyx joined Astraea when she was placed in the Cyro-Pod and slept for 10,000 years.

Trivia

 * Astraea named Nyx mostly due to the sounding of the name.
 * Nyx was originally going to be a space panther but the idea to change her to be just a side companion, like the Space Mice, came into play.
