Grief of the Survivor
"I try... I try so much. I meditate, I pre-occupy my thoughts, I even go as far as to willingly put myself in harms way with the Sharp Claw crisis on this planet- nothing works. There are days where I just cant bare the feelings that wash over me like some violent wave- my memories... my home. Every time I wield my staff, I'm just reminded of what happened... of my current situation...
... I am the last Cerinian"
Estelle Ellis was tweeting about how it was Mental Health week. In turn, some artists began to explore the side of Krystal we don't see, her grieving side- she IS the last Cerinian, afterall. In fact, I've had this small script idea in my head for almost 2 years now for something just like this... I've never had all the necessary skills, however, to pull it off. As such this small still frame should suffice! If I knew how to storyboard draw then I would absolutely make one and just kinda have it for reference, alas I have no drawing talent x3
For now, please enjoy this piece and do not take your health for granted. If you need help, seek it. If you need answers, ask the questions. If you need reason, go out and grab it.

Pardon the late response, but as a starfaring species, I can't even imagine how ALL Cerinians were wiped out. I would think a majority, and logically whatever catastrophe befell their homeworld, but any that remained in space, any in colonies in the depths of their own system, any in interstellar transit... All of these would remain. Perhaps not enough to re-found a species (40,000 person minimum to avoid genetic issues), but enough to go from a snap of the fingers to a (perhaps worse) slow lingering death, and, depending upon the offworld population, a death of centuries' time.
It just strikes me as nigh-impossible to erase a truly spacefaring species entirely in a single fell swoop. It doesn't lessen the grief, especially for a psychic, but it may give a slim second chance and thus a glimmer of hope.

I agree, though there isn't a full explanation in canon... for sure we do know Cerinia was destroyed by an unknown disaster.
If we take into consideration the events of Adventures (and how Andross was manipulating the Krazoa), we can kinda piece together that he had something to do with Cerinia's demise. The connection here is when Krystal recognizes him inside the Palace before she's sealed away. It wasn't General Scales as she just gotten away from him. Her response to seeing Andross was pure fear, in a way, as she stared down the man responsible for her planets destruction.
Aside from that, no true explanation is given (hell the Andross sealing her away part isn't even a confirmed theory, but a sound one considering the events leading to it). I think the agreed on head-canon is that Andross conducted experiments in Cerinia's star system that resulted in the obliteration of the host star, thus wiping out the ENTIRE system and any Cerinians on extra-terrestrial colonies. At the end of the game, the ship she uses to reach Great Fox is most likely hers (I dont think it's mentioned to be a Sharpclaw craft) and isn't exactly the most advanced looking ship- assuming the Cerinians were space faring, but to their star system only... thus, wiped out when it's host star was destroyed
Besiiiiiides... she's got Fox! The species lives on with her and eventually Marcus and then from there on!

Agreed to a great degree, but I'd have to voice some disagreement about the shuttle used by Krystal - if it was from Cerinia (and not merely an embarked craft attached to a larger ship), then it is advanced enough for starfaring, as canon indicates that Sauria is not in the same system as Cerinia, and if Krystal arrived in that craft, then it follows that it had to be starflight-capable. It is also mentioned that Krystal was searching for the cause of her world's death, which lends itself again to the thought there HAVE to be other survivors (also, I admit, I view worlds perhaps more reasonably than the game does - as having populations in the (minimum) hundreds of millions, if not outright billions.)
