Powers	Omnivore, can tolerate hideous amounts of gore and still be hungry, will eat your homework, likes to gnaw on pencils (only the wood) because it reminds her that she'll be chewing on pirate ships and royal armadas soon (tm). Can and does subsist on table scraps, wood chips, pencils (just toss them at her when they're too small and you can't use it any more!), fish, fish food, gummy bears, sushi, books, paper bags (mmm oh that was soaked in the oil from your fish n chips! sweet!), the list goes on but as she grows bigger those things will not suffice... Stealth, though she's not able to become 'invisible', she has an incredibly good camouflage and texture emulation ability that works best while under water, but can do it anywhere. Given her normal markings as above, she's able to blend in with locker doors, ceiling panels, hotel carpets, Your Favorite Hawaiian Shirt, whatever she can sidle up to nice and close. She can also hold a pose for quite a long time, but might become distracted (usually by food) Talk To and Favored By their watery god Kujuli; though not as such on Twoarth, this god helped create humans on their world and was unimpressed over time, preferring to spend their years watching the seas and uplifting creatures such as the octopus and squid, creating a lasting rivalry between seafaring men, and the monsters of the deep. Primarax is a descendant of the 'first kraken', and is expected to eventually ascend to her throne of coral and seaweed to take down pirate ships and whatever else comes her way. Until then, Kujuli is interested in the goings-on of this strange world, its vast seas, and this school Also Talks To Ocean Creatures, pretty much all of them can be heard and spoken to though mainly this is telepathic, sometimes she can do sign language or even color shifting to aid in nearby communications; her range is around 10 miles for intelligent life, but will grow proportionate to her own brain size as she ages - meaning by the time she's a full grown adult kraken, her range will be 500 miles Water Adapted But Fine Above Too, perhaps as a side effect of being favored by a creator god, Primarax can easily live above the water and only needs to return to it about once a day to get a nice soak. She doesn't have any problem with chlorinated, fresh, or salt water, preferring brackish water the kind you get at the deltas just near a coastline. Can speak using what sounds a little like dolphin chatter, but has learned quite a bit of English while she's been at school here
Clusters	You Only Have 'Seven' Seas What?! +3 Primarax is adept at identifying, handling (noodling), caring for, selecting for eating, or any other undersea creature or plant, and can tell at a glance or by gently using her tentacles to feel around, whether a reef is healthy, whether there's an eel living in that narrow hole, and if there is pollution around that's causing issues. She is very well tuned to oceanic health, and can seemingly sense the populations of animals based on their behaviors, whether this is telepathic or by observation doesn't seem to matter
Skills	3D (Underwater) Navigation +3 Scoots around under the waves with such ease it's silly! Of course, having a body and brain that are as elastic as she is and only her beak being the hard portion, whatever fits about a knuckle wider than her beak, she can get through! Also has a tremendously good memory for the locations she's been to, and can suss out the right directions to go to avoid predation or find prey Sticks To The Walls Have Ears +3 With sticky tentacle suckers, she can move up even dry walls and cling to surfaces as long as they can support a (currently small) weight like her. She can dislodge small broken tiles if they're not firmly in place, or whoops that ceiling panel wasn't very well fit, but for the most part you can find her in the corner like a spider, watching and listening to the goings-on in any given room if she's not in her seat. She can actually detect vibrations with her delicate tentacle ends, so if she's huddled up against a wall when there's no one in a room, she's probably listening to the other side Maritime Law and Order +2 She does understand the difference between A Pirate's Bay and The Pirate Bay, though anything with the term piracy in it makes her slightly agitated. In her home dimension, pirates are just everywhere, and they often need to be shown the error of their ways. But then also, there are invading forces and colonizing efforts that aren't wanted by locals - and she takes care of those ships too. But she does know the difference between invading forces and rescue efforts, and since coming to Carramba Primarax has decided that when she gets home, she will know who to let in, and who to threaten away... and who to consume in all her fierce glory
Knacks	Wants To Have Fun While The Fun's Good +3 as a 'kid' she's playful and enjoys sports, exploration, idle gossip, video games, trips to the zoo and aquarium (though that last one a little morbidly, she knows they don't keep intelligent creatures in tanks there on Twoarth but that's not the case everywhere, right?) she just wants to see and do it all! She doesn't let her studies fall too far behind, but she will absolutely drop whatever things she's doing if someone else has a better option. By the time she'd be considered a teenager (likely not for another hundred years at least) she will be fully expected to behave like a 'proper' kraken in her homeworld, with less and less time for herself, so. Let's do this thing while there's still time!

Pets	She's practically a pet to her dragon bond... but over time that will certainly change
Parents?	Though spawned from the royal line, she's not exactly a favorite among the queen of the kraken's family group, having wandered so far. It's a good thing her god likes her.
Siblings?	They number in the hundreds, but by the time she's an adult, there may be perhaps a dozen left if that
