For such a simply decorated egg, Omen is complicated. One interaction with Omen will garner a completely different response from the next. Sometimes they are bright and chipper, others they only speak a single word, often "No", as if they are hoarding the words themselves. They are most drawn to people who will teach them new words or concepts, and are voraciously learning everything they can possibly learn. If they know a fact differently than it is presented, they are likely to ask "Why?" and not let go of that topic until they understand. They come across as flighty, and self-centered, sometimes conversing only with themselves, with the occasional comment meant for an outside observer or conversation partner. They don't mean to be rude, but they're talking to each other, see, and that's just as important as talking with a third person. When drawn into a strong emotion, Omen will withdraw to handle it, often leaving the more taciturn responder at the forefront while their energetic Other handles the difficult emotions. Omen's biggest dream is to find and know every possible word. The most excitement they've ever had was learning that there was such a thing as a Dictionary. They've heard tell of further knowledge even outside of words and their meanings, and are infinitely curious about Mathematics. This intensity for learning and the duality of their personality can be disorienting and offputting, but Omen is fine with that. They are who they are, and Others can simply deal with it... or not. Up to them.

Omen is a small, rather round egg. While the majority of the shell is primarily a bright pink color, it has striations of a deeper magenta starting at about one third of the way down the shell and becoming more frequent and bolder further down the shell. The effect looks surprisingly like a sunrise or sunset in a striking pink-red. If one were to run their fingers along the shell, the darker pink markings seem to be raised from the lighter pink sections, as though they were added after, or perhaps as if the lighter pink sections stretched farther, and were thinner, than the darker sections. In fact, the shell itself seems thinner in the lighter sections than the darker ones.

Given the rounded shape of the egg, the amount of weight to Omen shouldn't come as a surprise. Omen is a heavy egg. As such, it tends to be found lower in the sands than its brethren, as though it has chosen to roll down any hill that it is placed atop.
