A story by The French Sim
Come down to Earth is a comedy/drama story. It starts with the Neebtadrizk family's crash on planet Earth; these Xk'krylg'hnreblvians were actually going on holiday when their spaceship's engine failed. After crash-landing in Pleasantview, Ymn'ixxu Neebtadrizk gives birth to a baby girl who, despite her parents' opinion, will be named after the planet. But things go wrong when Earth's father and Ymn'ixxu's husband, Orflad, is crushed by a falling space debris, causing his wife to brutally turn catatonic. Tattooed with the Krylgian symbol of adaptability, Earth will attempt to live like a normal Earthling, and later try to do something for non-human minorities.

Origin
Believe it or not, the Neebtadrizks were created while playing around with the Boolprop command. The characters' names were made up before the classic Xk'krylg'hnreblvian "few consonants" style was adopted, which explains that they can be easily pronounced.

The story properly starts after Orflad's death, with a visit from a Man In Black who tells Earth's family about the accident, confirming that it wasn't a plot. Oztal doesn't listen to him though, causing his family to lose their allowances. Meanwhile, Ymn'ixxu remains in her catatonic silence.
Later, after entering her teenage years, Earth decides not to stay at home, makes friend with Alon Livingston and realises that high school teens can be cruel: from that moment on, she wears black shades all the time. After a nightmare, she also finds out that she'll only get her revenge on society by studying hard. By the time she goes to SimState University, her mother has just sunk further into insanity, yet she has no choice but to leave with Alon.
At SSU, she majors politicsn her projects revolving around becoming a famous politicswoman. Unfortunately, after one of her mother's visits, she sees that her mental disorders are getting worse; after ordering a
ReNuYuSenso Orb and attempting to cure Ymn'ixxu, Earth just makes thing worse, leading the unfortunate woman to be obsessed by cheese.
