Character Sheet for Pippi
Character Description
Slender, lean and nimble, she has a hard time standing still for long. Being from one of the smaller species of rodent, she’s not very tall, and is shorter than most other anthros. She’s quick on her feet and a fast runner, though her running more resembles long, wide, zigzagging jumps. She can also jump very high and far due to her strong legs, able to clear obstacles over ten times her height vertically or horizontally if she has enough room to build up speed. She hears very well with her sensitive, big ears, enough to guide her along in the dark.
Personality
Lively and often hyper, Pippi is usually in a sunny, cheerful mood. Not much can get her down, and she tries to be very optimistic, but she’s prone to being easily startled. Gets nervous in large crowds due to her small stature.
Likes/Dislikes
Likes; wide & open spaces, friendly people, smiling, being active, thrill seeking, her family, adventures, cucumbers, anything cute.
Dislikes; large crowds, being told she’s small(“I’m tall for my age!”), dull colours, being bored, being snuck up on, people who are negative or pessimistic.
Background/History
From a family of six, Pippi grew up in a small, dessert village. Her small home held her, her two sisters, her parents and her grandmother, the latter looking after her and her sisters while her parents ran a merchant’s booth, trading and selling goods. In the evening her grandmother has a tent where she tells the fortunes of passerby, and as soon as Pippi and her sisters were old enough they helped with their parents stand. One day her parents brought home cucumbers with the goods they’d traded, and the juicy, wet vegetable has been her favourite food ever since. She left her home at sixteen with a trade caravan to seek her fortune, a new life in a less barren place, and writes home whenever she can. The only time she enjoys large crowds is when they’re cheering for her, enjoying footraces and betting on herself winning. The rougher the terrain in a race, the better. When fighting, she uses her feet(one or both) to jump and kick while she balances with her tail, but relies mostly on her agility to help her out of trouble.
Relatives/Family
From a litter three with two sisters(Pepper and Pebbles), her mother(Gracie), her father(Rollo), and her grandmother(Ma’am Lillie).
World/Setting
Sonic’s world, (or an AU)
Body
Tall, slender, wiry muscles especially in her legs, long feet, but she’s only two feet tall, minus the ears. Usually walks tiptoe, uses her heels and tail for balance. Shorter than most species, especially humans. Tan-brown fur with a light peach belly, including on her muzzle, tail, the soles of her feet and her palms. The tips of her ears and long tail are dark brown. Brown hair, turquoise-green eyes.
Clothing
Three earrings in each ear, two gold bands on her tail that are family heirlooms and that she values greatly. Prefers to wear green clothing, she sees it as the colour of life itself.
Accessories
Travels with a backpack. The only weapon she’s familiar with is a slingshot, but has excellent aim.
