[ears] & [whiskers]

send me a word! || learn all about my muse's physical features!

[ears] Zivs ears are triangular shaped and placed at the side of her head on eyelevel and point a little sideways when she is relaxed and upwards when she is under extreme emotions. The outside of the ears is covered with a thick,white pelt that makes her ears very comfortably soft to the touch to Zivs misery. As a Teenager, Ziv had let her ears be pierced with three Helix-Piercings on her left ear and two Helix piercings on her right ear. The Helix-Piercings are flowershaped. She had both earlobes pierced too, but she only wears one earring in her left earlobe. The bronze with red-stone-splinters studded Chandbali-Earring, originally belonged to the AgriCorps-Member Malkhaz. It is more a trinket than of much worth. In a horrible seizure of Teenager-Kitsch Malkhaz had given Ziv one of his earrings when they were stationed at different places during the Clone Wars, which was obviously the end of their fleeting Teenager-crushes. It had never been a serious relationship to begin with, considering their age and the way their looks on reationships had been formed by growing up in the Temple so Malkhazs and Zivs goodbyes had not been filled with much feelings. That does not change the fact that they had been very fond of eachother, which lead to the earring changing its owner.  Ziv usually has only earstuds in flowerform for her earpiercings, so that earring does not exactly fits into her meager and imporovised jewelery collection. However, years later after she had last seen Malkhaz and the Boys obvious death during the Order 66 or later as a AgriCorps-Member and therefor a trained Force-Sensetive in one of the Empires experiments, she still wears the Kiffars Earring. Ziv is able to move the ears  independently from another which gives her the ability to have a always all-around-sensing of the noises in her enviorment as she is able to turn in one direction while literally keeping a ear on the other direction. Naturally Ziv has a very keen hearing and that she can move her ears around allows her to get a clear image of what is happening around her despite her bad eyesight through clear Sound Localisation (Which sets her clearly on adventage compared to a Humanoid) for she is easily able to recognize distances, patterns and how the enviorment might disturbs the sounds. In the same manner Zivs ears show her emotions very often, they jolt up when she is startled or attentive, she pins them back when she is angry or irritated, her ears flick when she is confused. Zivs lack of humanoid facial features may make it ahrd to read her face, yet her ears replace this lack of familiar features so if one wants to read what is going on in Ziv, her ears are always a good indicator. In the very seldom moments in which Zivs blushes (either because she is flustered or because she is angry enough), it is actually only visible on the inside of her ears since the pink skin will turn red.

[whiskers] Zivs Vibrissae are most visible on her snout and above her eyes and are for once the evolutional compensation for all Tynnan having a terrible eyesight. On her snout the thick hairs are turned in the direction of her pelt and do not stand away much from her muzzle. The hair allow a tactile sensing of her enviorment, and allow Ziv to notice the slightest shift of air around her which means that she has not to rely on her naturally horrible eyesight to sense movements- this works at best when she is in water. In fact in water Ziv is able to recognize and follow the paths of other organisms that swam ahead several minutes before her, like a dog following a trail. She even can sense the species and the size the organism that left the trail in the water. Eventually Ziv is able to recognize the slightest movements, shifts in temperature, change of pressure in the air, around her through her Vibrissae. She is always keenly aware of what is happening around her,maybe more than if she would rely on her eyesight.   The Vibrissae however do not only grow around Zivs snout or eyebrows, but also on her joints where they are just harder hair in her pelt. This gives Ziv despite her horrible eyesight a very good image of her surroundings and what is happening,moving, changing around her. Over thausand of years of evolution the Generation of Tynna Ziv belongs to have a little shorter whiskers than their ancestor as similar to how the buckteeth have radically shrunken in size over generations (as in fact as a “modern” Tynnan Ziv has very short buckteeth), the species had adjusted to modern living-standarts, its comfortable safeness and technologial enhancers like glasses to overcome their bad eyesight and do not have to rely on that sense too much anymore.  The whiskers are very sensetive to touch, in fact Ziv will always promptly tense or sit up straight startled when someone lightly touches the much too sensetive hairs. Usually it is a very uncomfortable feeling for the Tynnan, similar to someone trying to pull a single hair out of ones scalp slowly. If one really wants to be thrown across the lenght of a room, then one should grasp for her whiskers for Zivs reaction will be forcepushing that person in (and through) the next wall (For details Ask that one poor Hook-up who was so stupid to kiss Ziv on the Whiskers in a moment she was not prepared for that. After he peeled himself off the wall, though.) .
