Psykha broadly resembled [[Lord Thymon]] in broad shape, but instead of tentacles, their vertical, column-like body “seemed to be made of endlessly-shifting, conjoined bubbles, enmeshed in a net of neurons and dendrites”. Like Thymon, they had a single, great eye, which took the form of “a particularly large bubble, with a multi-coloured, vertical coil of neural matter in its axis for a pupil”. Also like Thymon, they wore a hat. The bubbles making up the lower half of their body could burst as easily as mundane bubbles, which did not appear to constitute any kind of serious injury for Psykha, though it did annoy them.

Psykha was generally held to be the nicest of the three | Psykha was generally held to be the nicest of the three [[Embodiment]]s; ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Business (short story)|Family Business]]'') indeed, [[Jenny Everywhere (38167th Universe)|Jenny Everywhere]] once described Psykha “a sweetheart”. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') However, despite their polite demeanour, Psykha had a callous disrespect of mortals, and believed that the Embodiments should not interact with them more than absolutely necessary. They took their duties very seriously, and their personal domain was a spartan, nearly-featureless room. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[Family Business (short story)|Family Business]]'') Nevertheless, they were not without heart, crying openly in the possible timeline where [[Tiny Thymon]] faded into nothing for lack of [[eldritch energy]].

Psykha was the sibling of [[Lady Spatium]], the Embodiment of Space, and [[Lord Thymon]], the Embodiment of Time. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Grand Multiverse Hotel (short story)|The Grand Multiverse Hotel]]'') In fact, at any one time, three [[Shapechild]]ren, birthed by Lady Spatium, existed, any one of them ready to specialise themselves and take over if one of the three adult Embodiments was incapacitated. This meant that for any given Psykha and Thymon, “Lady Spatium”, in different iterations, was both a sister and a mother.

=== Christmas 2019 === | |||
In December 2019, with [[Christmas]] being newly-introduced to [[Cupid Homeworld|the Homeworld]], [[Lord Thymon]] asked [[Philatel-426]] to let him have a week off starting on December 25th to visit his family in [[the Void]], a request to which the Postmaster reluctantly acquiesced. On the night of the 24th, however, Philatel went through [[A Christmas Carol|a ''Christmas Carol'' experience]] thanks to [[the Three Spirits]]. The [[Ghost of Christmas Present (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Ghost of Christmas Present]] took him to see Spatium's residence in the Void, which was processed for his understanding as a “small, poor house”; there he witnessed Spatium and Squire Psykha setting up a Christmas dinner in expectation of Thymon's arrival, with [[Tiny Thymon's first sibling|the two]] [[Tiny Thymon's second sibling|undifferentiated shape-children]] observing, before being joined by the increasingly sickly Tiny Thymon. | |||
As per the classic ''Christmas Carol'' scenario, the [[Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Ghost of Christmas Yet-to-Come]] went on to show Philatel a possible future where, due to Philatel continuing to keep Thymon at work too often, Tiny Thymon vanished altogether; the scene he saw was the surviving members of the family — including a weeping Psykha — assembling at a spot picked out by Lord Thymon as very “[[g$#^&n]]”, apparently a relevant quality, and singing “one of Tiny Thymon’s favorite hymns to the [[Elder Gods (A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)|Elder Gods]]”. However, this future was soon averted as Philatel had a change of heart, giving Thymon much better working conditions and even promoting him to Co-[[Prefect]] as he dropped in on the Embodiments' Christmas feast in person. He brought a gift of a prize turkey, as well a stamp album to each of the family members. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol (short story)|A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol]]'') | |||
