Reference sheet for Erchya the female Andalite.

Erchya and her boyfriend/partner Anidele live on Earth, researching our world and learning all they can about it. They both possess the morphing powers granted by the Escafil device and use it to keep their identities semi-secret, but they are willing and happy to share their true selves with those they know they can trust.

Erchya is the more scientifically-minded of the two, and loves experimenting and discovering as much as possible. Like other Andalites, she is particularly enamored with the sense of taste as it is practically nonexistent in her species, and loves morphing into other creatures simply to enjoy partaking in the many different flavorful Earth foods she comes across. Her absolute favorite flavor is oranges, and she loves to eat marmalade straight out of the jar.

Andalites communicate primarily through a form of telepathy known as “thought-speak,” which allows them to speak directly into the mind of a specific individual, group of people, or broadcast to anyone within a certain distance. Thought-speak is denoted by enclosing the text in angle brackets, <such as in this example.> They eat by absorbing nutrients directly through their front hooves in an osmosis-like manner.
