Her eyes are a combo of house fly, mantis, and crested gecko. I wanted her to be limited in her facial expression range, but not zero range. I was inspired by my crested geckos who can have "droopy, sleepy eyes" during the day. I took that idea, added a bit of bug, exaggerated it a little, and arrived here.
Her antennae and mouth pieces are her primary communication appendages. Her own people rarely bother with straining their "eyebrows" into an expression, but they can - to aid in communication with species that rely more heavily on that.
She speaks her native language, and usually uses a translation drone to communicate. However, she under- stands the common tongue and also signs. Her people sign to communicate with other species if translation drones are not available.

How do bug people emote? Maybe this?
I adore my introverted, lonely, space bug. ❤️
