Look

Axies: blue fingernails, and a blue-tinted shadow that points toward him instead of falling away from the sun. People notice. They do not like it.

As observed

Axies is absorbed in his research, unbothered by beatings in proportion to how interesting the local are. One Aimian is not a national temperament.

Where

Aimia, an island to the west; Axies himself is in Kasitor, Iri, when we meet him.
