I've mentioned her sporadically in the past, but during the Graingy Christmas Special I shared a short story about her.
I haven't mentioned this elsewhere (so shush), but this is part of concept art of her species.
Thought I'd mention that in case you decide you want to waste time reading it, since Monarchii brought up the lack of description as an issue.
(Btw it's a chum Salmonid from Splatoon 2/3. Nothing like getting beaten to death by a bunch of horny fish, am I right?)

A contraction is a shortened version of the spoken and written forms of a word, syllable, or word group, created by omission of internal letters and sounds.
In linguistic analysis, contractions should not be confused with crasis, abbreviations and initialisms (including acronyms), with which they share some semantic and phonetic functions, though all three are connoted by the term "abbreviation" in layman’s terms.[1] Contraction is also distinguished from morphological clipping, where beginnings and endings are omitted.
The definition overlaps with the term portmanteau (a linguistic blend), but a distinction can be made between a portmanteau and a contraction by noting that contractions are formed from words that would otherwise appear together in sequence, such as do and not, whereas a portmanteau word is formed by combining two or more existing words that all relate to a singular concept that the portmanteau describes.
English
English has a number of contractions, mostly involving the elision of a vowel (which is replaced by an apostrophe in writing), as in I'm for "I am", and sometimes other changes as well. These contractions are common in speech and in informal writing, but tend to be avoided in more formal writing (with limited exceptions, such as the now standard form "o'clock").
The main contractions are listed in the following table.
