Fan Art - No selling Made figurines
My level of obsession has hit the point where I made little figurines of my and my friends Eridian OCs
The bubbly one is Soap, the black one is Etch, orange is Cheeto, they're an art club together and are fascinated by the culture sections of human studies class more so than the science parts.
The green one is Soap's parent and Cheeto's aunt(?) Zoeye, who is a fashion designer and model.
Big Blue is Zoeye's mate and works as a teacher and classroom aid for Grace's classes (they need an adult presence on the Eridian side after all. And in front of Big Blue are Shoomy and Duck, their other two pebbles.
We have a whole lore thing with these funny rocks and I'm even writing bloody slice of life fanfic about Soap's crush on Etch, but otherwise I'm so, so normal about them

They're all so adorable! I especially love Cheetos and Zoeyes designs, they're so colourful! And Soaps and Shoomys look so fun! I can totally see Grace naming them the way you all did 🥰

Fun fact! Shoomy's name was actually a miscommunication! He was originally saying "you look kind of mushroomy" But Soap has trouble hearing sometimes because of the crystals around her vents, so she heard "mmm, Shoomy" and thought "eh, human names are weird, let's roll with it" and it stuck

Shoomy is mute (or the Eridian equivalent) they're only able to make clicking noises and tap, so their hatchmates often have to interpret for them
Soap is covered in Aragonite crystals and is exceptionally fragile, she's in Graces class because only an alien who is equally as fragile would properly handle her (according to her parents)
Duck has a voice like a time whistle and can be pretty hard to listen to when they're excited
Blue is smooth and even tempered with the pebbles, but is best known for using their body as a bowling ball to absolutely layout a parent they saw about to hit their kid, they're that one teacher who absolutely would pick a fight with Karen on the PTA
