Meditacean Botanian

---homeworld: Shallow-Marsh Planet
---Supremely lightweight & low-density body.
As with most Botanians from this amphibious world, the alien-lifeform depicted in the picture above is so lightweight that not only can she sit on the surface of water without any threat of sinking, but she can fly through the sky effortlessly!
In fact, it's more of a challenge to stay grounded! Because even a weak breeze will blow her body around!
---Insect-esque Proboscis
Displaying physical features from other species, this Botanian hybrid has inherited a somewhat vestigial body-part in the form a of a mouth akin to those seen on bugs like mosquitoes & butterflies.
Since she primarily absorbs nutrients through other body-parts, this Botanian doesn't need a mouth to eat (but she does still enjoy sipping her own nectar as a treat), nor does she require a mouth to speak (but can still do so when telepathy feels too remote & not intimate enough).
---Vegetation Meditation
Despite seeming totally inactive physically, this alien is actually highly active mentally.
With eyes shut, she remains in a state of perpetual meditation, where her Mind's Eye compensates for optical visuals.
Not only can her mind perceive the immediate surroundings, but this Botanian can actually gaze upon the whole infinite expanse of space all at once!
Through this inner-vision, she watches over distant lifeforms & psychically teaches them.
(Much like herself, whose own evolution was accelerated by a more-advanced species.)
---Flower Feelers
As seen protruding from her forehead, this Botanian sports a pair of antennae that terminate in beautiful blossoms!
These floral feelers are super-sensitive and have access to myriad layers of reality's spectrum.
Not only that, but they generate both a wonderful fragrance with many special purposes (that I'll describe near the end of this post) & emit a honey-like nectar that can nourish others for long periods of time with a single mouthful!
---Petal Propellors
In addition to the characteristics just listed, the Flower Feelers also function as a source of propulsion, by spinning her petals in order to create aerodynamic-force to boost her body through the sky!
---Leaf-Feather Wings
Again, this Botanian variant also exhibits wings that photosynthesize starlight, in addition to providing flight.
---Tap-root Tail
This long tail which terminates in teensy branching roots is perhaps her most important bodypart.
You see: as such a lightweight lifeform, the Meditacean Botanian uses her Tap-root Tail as an anchor to stay in one spot without getting blown about by the wind!
Upon ingraining herself in the submerged mud, this alien floats buoyantly atop the shallow water covering her whole home-world.
Seated on the wavey fluid's surface alike a lilypad, she remains meditatively en-tranced.
In this trance, while her Tail absrorbs nutrients from the muddy sediment below & her Leaf-Wings absorb nutrients from the sunny stars above, she can stay suspended outside of Time & Space.
From her non-temporal locus, this Botanian can psychically guide struggling species all over the cosmos.
Able to stabilize the angered-energies of distant-planets whose environments have been mistreated, this alien tranmits her own internal peacefulness to others, while her external Tail keeps her spinal Chakras grounded directly into the nurturing embrace of her homeland.
---Peacemaker Pollen
With all that said, we return to what was mentioned earlier about "special purposes of the Flower Feelers' fragrance"!
You see: by utilizing her strong psychic abilities, this alien is able to serve as a Peacemaker who can overcome the numerous difficulties that lead to strife between species on other planets.
Firstly, her feelers emit that powerful fragrance from their flower-tips, which induces a sobering clear-headedness in everyone around.
Secondly, after everyone has been uplifted into full lucidity, their individual consciousnesses become extra-sensitive to each other, and thus, more receptive to communication.
Thirdly, the Peacemaker then acts as a neutral intermediary between the parties who have previously not been able to talk things out without violence eventually erupting.
Instead, there is no tension to the discussion at all.
Everyone opens up and makes their needs known.
Then, the combined intelligence of all involved is used to conceive a satisfactory solution.
TA-DA!! Peace is acheived!
(Do note, that the issues between warring groups can be complex, but if an active-benevolence is directly intervening and even providing crucial-resources if scarcity of necessities is part of the problem, then an all-encompassing peace-accord should never be impossible.)
---Dedicated to a lady that I met in March 2020.
We have only crossed paths once (so far), but her advice from that day still lends guidance.
And thanks to practicing what she said, this very picture came into existence!
