Fiochras {F-ah-o-kk-ra-ss}
The creatures of the Celestial Kingdoms are quite unique and interesting as a field of study, in part because though most definitely they belong within these tomes, they are intelligent and sapient, so much so that if one knows where to look, and whom to ask, and is very lucky, one can acquire writings authored by such entities. However amongst the lower ranks of the celestial entities, from the Kingdom of Atlas, realm of Feyheart the Eternal Traveler, the Fiochras are simpler entities than that. No tomes or lengthy papers authored by any such entity. They have a child like wonderment, a deep drive to wander and explore, and are amongst the most common to visit or be brought forth via prayer and holy ritual unto the Material Realm. Taking rudimentary humanoid shapes of pale yellow and sandy brown radiating a soft glow, though they seem to lack any obvious features or tone. However the eyes, like smiles and sparkles of pure starlight and child-like wonderment and curiosity. These creatures seem to radiate their natural curiosity and explorative nature, an essence, a presence that they seem to share with any creature they do not sense hostile intent from, sharing but a bit of their child-like wonder and joy of exploration and adventure, the essence of Atlas itself distilled as some sort of energy that exudes from them.
A brief explanation of Fiochras offered forth by one Markus Laflarin, famed scholar and theologian from northern Valewyr.
Basic Information
Genetics and Reproduction
There are many theories in regards to the Celestial Kingdoms and how the various creatures are 'born' such as it is. The reality is we merely have word of mouth from such creatures themselves, and religious belief to go upon. Generally speaking one cannot visit the Kingdoms alive and even those select few whom have died but been brought back to life have no memory of their brief time within them.
The prevailing stories of Atlas do suggest that Fiochras in particular have what some might define as a harrowing or sad origin. They are generally believed to be born of children taken from the world to soon, bold and brave children whom defied their elders, and proceeded to wander wild or dangerous places alone, only to suffer a fatal accident of some kind. Slipping from a cliff edge and falling to one's death, that sort of thing. This is not likely their only origin or means of coming into existence on Atlas of course, they are to numerous by most guesses for such a thing, one would hope.

Ecology and Habitats
Atlas is said to be a realm, a kingdom of ever changing terrain, a place that can be endlessly explored, for it is always changing, every new cycle presenting an entirely new geography. As such, Fiochras are not specialized for any sort of climate or biome, seeming at home in any and all. They need not breath air as we do, seeming to find such a thing unnecessary, though they are no undead creature. Fiochras are curious and explorative entities and when they do find themselves upon the Material Realm they exhibit this quality as they do upon Atlas and are always eager to travel, to see and experience the world and realm and new places. They rarely settle for long and will get quite ornery, like an unruly child, if made to stay in one place longer than a few days.
Dietary Needs and Habits
Celestial Entities of Atlas seem to have no needs as far as diet or nutrition are concerned, having no need to eat or drink, even when upon the Material Realm. This is not unique to Atlas, though it is not normal of all Celestial Entities either.
Behaviour
Fiochras are adventurous little entities, energetic, curious and explorative. They are easily excited by prospects of travel. On the rare instances one finds itself on the Material Realm, it generally is very willing to make friends with anyone who seems well traveled, though there is a bias for those whom are obviously of the Eternal Traveler's faith. They are also oft drawn to maps, charts, and any sort of navigational tools, seeming to take a very child-like wonderment and joy from such things.
Additional Information
Facial characteristics
For the most part their facial features are rather non-descript, generally quite average in shape and structure for the form they take. Their eyes, however always stand out, seeming as if the purest of starlight.
Average Intelligence
Fiochras are notable for their intelligence and savvy nature. They seemingly have a sharp memory for directions and through their pleasant and friendly child-like demeanor there is a notable sharpness of mind at work as well.
Perception and Sensory Capabilities
Fiochras seem to possess no heightened senses or any true extrasensory capabilities, however they have a knack for directions and exploration that can seem to border on supernatural to some. There is some truth to this of course, such is the nature of celestial entities. However upon the Realm of Atlas, they are considered normal and average, one of the many types of Blessed.

This sounds really interesting. I think it would be a fascinating encounter, maybe a little frightening. I hope you find a pic that works. Maybe more than one would help illustrate these creatures? I just had to copy a paste a whole descriptive paragraph into Midjourney in order to get the right kind of pic, so :P Good luck!
After tinkering with Midjourney prompting for a bit, trying a few different word choices and orders, I've settled on an image. Its not perfect, but its at least on brand and feels like it kinda fits some of the written description so it shall do.
It definitely matches the childlike wonderment you mentioned. I captures the amorphousness that it has. So cute!
