Traveller Key-Glyph was a solitary and introspective explorer. Initially content to build a modest life on her home planet of Pabackyermi, She became increasingly absorbed with the cryptic messages and clues She found scattered about the galaxy. Key-Glyph thoroughly investigated her corner of the universe and felt She had finally come to understand it, as well as Her purpose within it, shortly before She disappeared.
Biography
Initially believing Herself to be suffering amnesia after a traumatic crash landing, Key-Glyph set off on a quest to uncover Her identity and reclaim Her life.
Born on Pabackyermi in the Monvervi system, She quickly adopted the planet as Her permanent home, building a small base and populating it with helpful recruits. She frequently returned to Pabackyermi during her adventures to regroup and recharge, either by sharing conservation with Her favorite colleagues or by wandering the arctic landscape on foot. Although She rarely strayed far from Monervi, Her desire for discovery led Her to fully map almost every system within two starlengths of Monvervi before She was Lost.
Key-Glyph's emotional and mental health fluctuated greatly during Her journey. Increasingly consumed with the need to understand the nature of Her existence and devastated by the loss of Her close friend, Echo Analyst Entity Voanni, She threw Herself into scenarios She would never have entered otherwise. The effect of these situations on Her worldview and disposition are clearly seen in Her personal logs, including an episode of nihilistic depression during which She contemplated Her own death.
In the end, She followed the Atlas Path to completion and achieved a sense of bittersweet peace.
Key-Glyph disappeared shortly thereafter, following a subsequent galaxy-wide reality shift. Her extensive personal logs and possessions were left to the Beacon-Entity without explanation, raising questions as to whether She has been displaced to another reality or erased entirely.
Personality
Key-Glyph was an introverted and fairly serious Traveller with great respect for the natural world around Her. She was regularly awed by planetary landscapes and views, particularly those with prominent celestial bodies in their skies. She rarely, if ever, killed fauna for any reason, and completely eschewed the use of exocrafts due to their destructive capacities.
Unusually sentimental for an explorer, Key-Glyph permanently settled on Her first planet and considered it Her home. She refused to trade Her original starship for the majority of her journey due to its pivotal role in Her early survival, and after finally acquiring a freighter, kept it permanently parked in her home planet's orbit. She often revisited worlds to spend time with Her favorite creatures, and even Her multitool selections were made in partial homage to models She had owned before.
Key-Glyph was protective of those close to Her and deeply affected by the deaths of friends.
Aside from investigating the truth of Her existence, Key-Glyph's other notable goals included pursuing fluency in the Gek language and exploring all the star systems within two starlengths of Monervi. She also became a collector of exotic starships and acquired four different models before Her disappearance.
Relationships
Key-Glyph had several close friendships, most notably with Echo Analyst Entity Voanni and Gek Underling Aoss. Her most contentious relationship was with Gek Navigator Sofarhei.

Relation to the Atlas
Key-Glyph's relation to the Atlas was contentious. Although She accepted its claims as creator, She rejected its demands for fealty and devotion. She believed the Atlas had attempted to threaten her into subservience, and She did not find its behaviors worthy of respect.
Later on She became confused by what may have been a dissociative identity disorder of the Atlas, which She interpreted as two separate Atlases altogether: one responsible for all worlds, the other responsible for Her world specifically. She speculated that the benign personality governed Her reality only and was too young to be significantly self-aware. The antagonistic personality, by contrast, seemed to experience the full scope of its existence and actively contemplate its fate.
Key-Glyph pursued the Atlas Path from a desire to understand the entity and its connection to Her existence. After completing the Path, She and the Atlas finally achieved mutual forgiveness.
