Folykl Darane is a gold blooded troll living on Alternia during the time of Joey Claire's visit.

Her sign is Gemittarius, sign of the Sapient, which has a Derse sway and is bound to the Void aspect, likely connecting to her voidrot condition.

Concept and creation

Folykl's very first concept.

Different versions of Folykl's hairstyle and horns.

Folykl was designed by Poinko. Though multiple different signs were associated with her throughout her design process, Gemittarius, which was the first sign given to her merely as a placeholder, also ended up being the sign used in her final design.

Folykl was first revealed during the Hiveswap Troll Call event alongside Kuprum Maxlol on December 13, 2017. Her bullet points were "quietly drains psychic energy like an app you forgot to close out" and "what's a shower". Her bullet points were since altered from December 6, 2018 to "Hugely draining to be around" and "Greasy".

Etymology

Folykl is a phonetic respelling of follicle, in reference to the sheath of cells and connective tissue that surrounds the root of a hair. "Darane" could be pronounced similarly to the word "drain", referencing Folykl's energy siphoning habits. Darane is also Somali for "crazy", potentially referring to her strange lifestyle.

Biography

Folykl jumping on Azdaja.

Folykl appears in the train station with her lusus and in the gold and olive train car with Kuprum. In the train car she and Kuprum complain about Konyyl and Azdaja's argument and "ash solicitations." She talks to Joey and agrees to help break up the argument by jumping on Azdaja and siphoning his energy. The plan doesn't work but she still holds a positive opinion of Joey. Joey later comes back to get Kuprum's help to charge technology and briefly jumps off him and onto Xefros who describes her as feeling "like food poisoning."

Relationship

Lusus

Folykl seems to have a good relationship with her lusus, a giant isopod, sitting atop her to spend some time before she is crated on the train.

Joey Claire

Though she acts annoyed, Folykl seems to have a positive opinion of Joey, believing that girls should stick together and lamenting to her about Kuprum.

Kuprum Maxlol

Folykl and Kuprum are shown to have a good friendship and care about each other, but don't have the most stable moirallegience; Folykl expresses that they sometimes need a break from each other.

Skills and abilities

Folykl has the ability to drain psychic power; it is unclear whether this is a power unique to her or if it is connected to her voidrot condition in some way.
