Lady Spatium
Lady Spatium was the Embodiment of Space in the Void Between Worlds. The other two Embodiments were Lord Thymon, the Embodiment of Time, and Squire Psykha, the Embodiment of Thought. (PROSE: The Grand Multiverse Hotel)
Description
Physical appearance
Spatium appeared as a woman “made up all of geometric shapes, all of them with three dimensions”, exuding “a sense of order”. With a silhouette similar to Lord Thymon's, she had a single eye and “wore a small hat”. (PROSE: A Copper-Colored Christmas Carol)
Biography
Origins
According to Jenny Everywhere, the Embodiments' origins were disputed; some believed that they arose in the Void out of the amalgamated perceptions of all its other dwellers, while others claimed that they had once resided in a specific universe from which they had been banished, subsequently imposing their own perception on everyone else. However it came about, however, the perceptions of the three Embodiments of the Void provided a “consensus reality” experienced by all who travelled through the Void, thus allowing for permanent constructs inside the Void, such as the Interdimensional Tavern and the Interdimensional Hotel, to arise.

When Pythagoras-858 referred to Lord Thymon as “Thymey” upon their first meeting, an embarrassed Thymon complained that he sounded like his (Thymon's) mother. (PROSE: Lord Thymon and the Department of Problem-Solving) Indeed, at any one time, three Shapechildren, 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. For example, the current Thymon's sister was the mother of a “Tiny Thymon” who was Sophie Everytime's cousin. (PROSE: Family Business)
Thymon the Blue's sister
In Issue 1034 of The Cupid Courier, Lord Thymon was quoted approving of the recent Cupid Parliament ruling that non-Cupid inhabitants of the Cupid Homeworld would start officially getting monthly days off, stating that he would be able to use them to visit Spatium, whom he had been unable to contact since coming to live in the Homeworld because the Department of Postal Services did not handle deliveries beyond the Homeworld.

Indeed, it was vital for him to visit her, as one of her three shape-children had begun stabilising into a “Tiny Thymon” to replace the adult Thymon in the Void, and thus needed frequent visits from his uncle to imprint on his eldritch energy. In December 2019, with Christmas being newly-introduced to the Homeworld, Thymon asked Philatel-426 to let him have a week off starting on December 25th, which the Postmaster reluctantly granted. On the night of the 24th, however, Philatel went through a Christmas Carol experience thanks to the Three Spirits. The 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 the two undifferentiated shape-children observing, before being joined by the increasingly sickly Tiny Thymon. Spatium, worried for her son, was dismissive of Thymon's proposed toast to Philatel.
As per the classic Christmas Carol scenario, the 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 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”. 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)
