A female humanoid of striking and disquieting appearance. Her skin is a uniform light grey, almost white, smooth and faintly luminous across her entire body. Her cranial structure is the most immediately striking feature — elongated and partially domed on the lateral sections, with visible organic folds that give the impression of a natural headpiece, though it is entirely her own anatomy. Her pointed ears emerge directly from this domed structure, reinforcing the sense of a species shaped by evolution into something that hovers between the organic and the architectural. Her facial features are close to human — close enough to produce an instinctive sense of recognition, followed immediately by the awareness that something is fundamentally wrong. She wears a fitted white and silver armored suit with a distinctive perforated pattern, geometric detailing and mechanical elements at the joints. Her eyes are dark, still, and attentive in a way that suggests she has already finished thinking whatever she began thinking when she first looked at you.

The name Xurela was assigned by research teams following phonetic analysis of Ixari communication patterns. The Ixari acknowledged the designation without comment. They have since used it themselves, which researchers consider either a courtesy or a data point. Possibly both.
