I asked the same question a while back, I though she was a gremlin personally. However, this is what Scapper Black Dragon relpied:
She's one of many such creatures that inhabit her world and continent...
I knew someone would want this info at some point. Though I can't name the post, I did have it saved in my folders, please see below the following...
The full relationship between Onika and Treska goes back to Onika's birth. Treska is about twice as old as Onika. Her people are the protectors of Onika's race. Sometimes, there may only be one protector for 2 or 3 families. Nevertheless, whenever one of Onika's people is threatened, the appointed guardian will sense the trouble, as will all the other protectors nearby. It's believed to be a psychic connection of some sort, but that has never been examined.
Onika's people are primarily farmers. They grow the foods, which attracts the animals (which in turn are consumed by Treska's people). Onika's race is called "Asar" (pronounced "ah-shar"), and Treska's is called either "Selkhet" (female), (pronounced "sel-ket")
or "Serkhet" (male), (pronounced "seer-ket"). The story behind the origin of Treska's people is long, and I do plan on drawing it one day (in the near future).
The Asar are child-like in their nature, whereas Treska's people are not. They are emotionless, nearly untouchable creatures whose sole purpose is to protect the Asar (who, in turn, protect something far, far more valuable, although they don't know it). The people of Treska's race are power personified, able to manoeuvre through wilderness and towns without being noticed. No one knows where the protectors live. Their skin feels quite similar to the surface of a just-polished-and-waxed car. Very tough, and nearly frictionless.
The Asar's have great strength and dense skin, as well, but they rarely have a need to use that strength (being peaceful, as they are).
It is not uncommon for a playful Asar to engage in sexual activity with one of Treska's people. The Asar are extremely sexual by nature (they breed like friggin' rabbits), and the Sel- or Serkhets do not mind the diversion that sex plays.
Onika is very uninhibited and outgoing. Even on the rare occasions in which she may appear to be alone, rest assured, she is not. Treska protects her mainly from harm and danger, though she does make her presence known when things seem a little "unusual".
Onika is guarded so closely because of the huge role she plays in a war in another realm, which involves the crew of Caterwaul Inc, as well as many of the people at the Skunkworks studio. Onika is very close to her adoptive friends and family, as well as the people she left behind when she arrived at Valencia's homestead.
Unable to return to her home, she has befriended many people in the Skunkworks world. Treska was able to find Onika by locating another passage to the same strange world, which Onika now inhibits. Treska can return to her own reality as she pleases, but Onika cannot, since the means of her passage was destroyed, and one cannot return to the same origin unless using the same passage.
