Hey guys :D made my first comic, I think it turned out pretty well.
I wrote a lot of story for this character but here's the basic background:

Penumbra's species, genist dragons, live by hijacking the identification systems of the old structures of a long dead ultra advanced people. They live in these ruins falsely flagged as citizens, and are provided for in every way by the old automated machines. Anything they wish for is freely manufactured and given to them. Because of this, their society is one of the oldest still in existence, but has been in complete stagnation since their ancient ancestors first cracked the ID system.

They usually live in complete isolation from other sentient species. The only ones coming down from their utopia being narcissistic types looking to be worshipped by those they believe to be below them. An activity that most civilizations gladly oblige, as the technology genist dragons even consider trash is an invaluable artifact to anyone else.

Penumbra, becoming increasingly disinterested with the carelessness and stagnation of her people, began to wonder what makes other societies so attached to the world. Having nothing to do in the only city she knew, built long before her species ever existed, she set out.

The people she encountered, only knowing the stories of previous genist dragons, treated Penumbra as a deity in hopes of gifts. Not wanting this, and only hoping to understand their lifestyle, Penumbra tried to avoid being given anything. This did not deter anyone. The items they offered her only increased more and more in value. Eventually, feeling guilty about them wasting resources on her, Penumbra began to accept the gifts. This quelled the town she was in for a little bit, but they quickly realized nothing they offered her she had use for, and just went to an accumulating pile. Once again, the town of scavengers dedicated much of their effort to offerings and worship.

Trying to think of a way to receive the offerings in a way people would accept, Penumbra began to hesitantly consider her long standing fetish. The next day, in front of all to see, she picked up a sparkling gem from an offering plate and placed it on her tongue. She brought it to the back of her tongue and gently swallowed. The eyes of all that watched her mellowed with relief. She began swallowing all that was given to her, and eventually the town returned to normal. Although, sometimes, Penumbra would still receive an item of particular value on occasion.
