Description

Xysielle was once a queen of a great race of beings in a vastly distant galaxy. They dedicated themselves to finding other races and life forms through use of cosmic shards. When a region of space was found to harbor life, it was the queen's duty to seek it out and research it.  The beings possessed great intelligence and were capable of both telekinesis and telepathy. Their minds existed in every part of their bodies, giving them a soundness of mind unlike any other race.. Xysielle's psychic abilities far surpassed that of any of her kind.
    While she was away inspecting a world upon which civilization had just sprung, a hole opened in space. Without warning, it consumed and destroyed her world, extinguishing her people forever. Now truly alone, she wandered the universe, adrift on celestial tides.
     True to the nature of her people, she used what remained of the cosmic shards to explore the cosmos and seek out life. Through countless eons she gathered information and discovered secrets within nebulae and witnessed cosmic events that even her grand mind could not fully fathom. Her body ageless, she had all of time to search the infinite expanses of space for her purpose.
    Eventually, she noticed a strange pulse among several worlds. Life was being extinguished without cause. Something that could bridge the gaps of space and time was bringing ruination to several of the worlds she had previously discovered. When she went to investigate, she found in place of the life that had bloomed on such worlds replaced by chaos. Horrible abominations and creatures that could shatter a mortal mind engulfed the worlds. Entities that defy reason and logic pulsed with a hideous dark life of their own. It was then that Xysielle saw into the void. There, deep in dimensions where she herself would dare not travel, was darkness. Within the darkness was a hateful consciousness. Cold, vile, and without morals it existed. From within the void came an infernal beating like that of a nightmarish heart. At it's source were entities of titanic proportion and wretchedness. Formless horrors as ancient as the darkness itself..they writhed endlessly around each other in a cosmic dance.
    One of them rested it's gaze upon her, and Xysielle felt it in her mind. It spoke words to her of a blasphemous and hateful in nature. It's own mind was one of utter chaos and madness, but Xsielle's mind was strong and she was able to shut the living nightmare out. She watched as from the mass of wicked things, a creature was born. It was female in nature, but resembled the horrors from which it had been spawned. Within the darkness, another rift opened up and transported the monster to another galaxy.
    Xysielle used her immense psionic power to seal the door to the void in front of her. The cosmic shards gave her a view of the world that the creature had been dispatched to. She watched in horror as it began to consume the various snetient lifeforms in order to assess the weaknesses of their world. Looking at the devastated world below her, the former queen resolved herself to coming to the aid of those that these horrors sought to devour. She would crush the spawns of madness with her own mind. With her destiny finally confirmed after countless ages among the stars, she headed to Earth, to banish the monster that had been born of the void.

Is the monster of the void the girl from Day 11?

Anyway, you did a beautiful job here. She is alien in the truest of senses, and is genuinely unique in design while still appearing both feminine and bizarrely beautiful.

Quick question, though--the race searched for life. Did they just study it to understand more about lief and evolution, or were they the "uplifting Precursor" type of race that helped developing civilizations grow or who elevated the growth into sapience?
