Solanum
The last Nomai in the solar system, waiting at the Quantum Moon's sixth location.
Solanum is a Nomai in Outer Wilds and the last of her kind left in the solar system, found on the Quantum Moon. Her body lies on the moon's surface in its five ordinary locations, but at the sixth location she is still alive, standing under a vortex at the south pole, and she is the only Nomai the player meets.

Background
She grew up in the Sunless City on Ember Twin, where as a child she played the Anglerfish game with her friends Ilex, Laevi, Lami and Taget, and wrote that her father told her many Nomai had died when the clan followed the Eye's signal into the system. At school in the Hanging City on Brittle Hollow she wrote an essay on the universe's expansion and its eventual death, which Conoy assured her would not come in their lifetimes. Her view of the Eye changed from suspicion to calm acceptance that its signal might have no deep meaning. On her quantum pilgrimage she prepared at the Tower of Quantum Trials on Giant's Deep, then met Bells at the Tower of Quantum Knowledge, who taught her the rule of the sixth location, and flew her shuttle to the Quantum Moon.
To meet her, reach the sixth location by using the Quantum Shrine at the moon's north pole.
