Appearance and Personality
Morriumur is two months old with their face split down the center, the right being a crimson color while the left is a blue shade. Because they are a dione, they are expected to be non-aggressive, but the current draft of their personality is very aggressive by dione standards.[4] They feel that they have to prove themself and fear being re-drafted because they do not wish to forget their friends.[5] They were given their callsign, Complains, by Spensa, but instead are just called by their name.

History
Early Life/Recruitment
When Morriumur was born, they inherited some flying skills from their leftparent, who was a commercial pilot. Morriumur was born with an aggresive personality, and therefore wanted to prove themselves.[7] To do this, Morriumur volunteered to be a part of a new pilot recruitment program when they were two months old. In order to make it into the program, Morriumur participated in a skill test orchestrated by Winzik. Morriumur and around 500 other prospective pilots engaged in a battle against Krell drones, with the objective of staying alive for thirty minutes.[8] Brade used Morriumur's ship as an anchor to preform a sharp turn with a light-lance, sending Morriumur's ship into a collision with an astroid. The collision damaged one of their boosters and knocked out their emergency lights, leaving Morriumur unable to surrender and leave the test. They put out a distress call on the general comm line, and were rescued by Spensa Nightshade, Hesho, and Vapor. Morriumur stayed with Hesho and Spensa for the remainder of the fight, and passed the test.[2]
After the test, Morrimur stopped Spensa from yelling at Winzik about the test, and the two went and ate together. Spensa, posing as the UrDail pilot Alanik, asked Morriumur many questions about dione drafts and dione reproduction, which Morrimur answered. They were joined by Hesho and his crew, and the three of them agreed to be allies.[7]
Flowers of Night’s Last Kiss
Morriumur was originally assigned to be in their own solo flight, but Spensa argued on their behalf, and convinced the officials to put Morriumur on her flight, along with Brade, Hesho, and Vapor.[9] On the first day of official training, Morriumur and the others in their flight boarded **The Weights and Measures**, the FTL transport ship that took them to the training grounds. En route, Hesho renamed their flight to Flowers of Night’s Last Kiss.[3] Spensa declared that everyone should have a callsign, and gave Morrimur the callsign "Complains", which Morrimur despondently accepted.[10] The flight organizes themselves and does some basic maneuvers, then begins the training regimen for fighting delvers. Though they were supposed to practice navigating a constructed delver maze to siumulate fighting a delver, Spensa had the flight work on formations and maneuvers instead, due to the group needing work on the fundamentals of flying as a cohesive unit. Morrimur doesn't preform particuarly well, and accidentally shoots at Spensa during the exercises.[4]
On a day off from training, Morriumur visited Spensa's living quarters to talk to her. Morriumur expressed their self-doubt to Spensa, wondering if they're worth training, and Spensa tells her they are. Morriumur takes Spensa for a walk to visit a water garden, and the two discuss Morrimur's parents and the nature of the Superiority. Upon returning to Spensa's apartment, Morriumur spotted Doomslug, Spensa's pet taynix. Morriumur was appalled, and warned Spensa that taynix are extremely deadly, but Spensa reassured her that the creature just closely resembles a taynix. Morriumur warns Spensa to keep it hidden, then leaves.[11]
