Character Sheet for Zhikharev
Character Description
Zhikharev, called Zi by those who know them, is a monstrous Skeleton from the Underground.
One of the few remaining members of the Typeface Kingdom, where most Skeletons were originally from, Zi lives in Waterfall alone. With no known family, Zi is a loner type, and seems to prefer spending time isolated either studying on their computer or working on their art.
Zi's home is a small two-room cabin surrounded by echo flowers, near the base of one of the many falls in Waterfall. They keep their home decor simple, but fill the empty space with a variety of plants, packing them in until the atmosphere is almost jungle-like. A salvaged computer, purchased as a repair from Alphys, takes pride of place in their bedroom. The walls of their bedroom are covered with sketches and paintings, tacked and taped up.
They are an infrequent user of the Undernet, posting mostly only their art and very few personal notes. However they follow many anime posters; one could guess they have a hidden interest.
Their Soul is green, full of kindness and healing magic. As a Skeleton, they use attacks which mostly feature bones, attempting to box the opponent into smaller and smaller spaces with sliding bone-walls. Their Blaster's skull has more of a snake-like set of traits to its shape; its lasers are also green, and deal healing rather than damage.
Being a Skeleton, Zhikharev has no true physical gender, and is therefore nonbinary by nature. Their mental gender, which affects their metaphysical expression and manifestation of their ecto bodyparts, can be considered bigender - both male and female at once, also known as a hermaphrodite. Typically referred to by "they" and "them", any gendered pronouns would be appropriate; they are not bothered by being called "he" or "she".
Personality
Overall, their personality could be considered "tsundere". They are rather shy, and do not like loud noises or aggressive, exciteable personalities; they do not especially get along with figures like Undyne or Papyrus. They will bristle and lash out when annoyed, and have a tendency to make a lot of space around themself, emotionally and physically.
They can seem very serious at times, until one realizes that despite their serious tone and multisyllabic phrasing, they're almost always joking in a dry or sarcastic sense. Those who befriend Zi find them to be an extremely loyal friend, although sometimes detached or distant.
Only those who get past all their barriers will discover the truth: they have such a tender and sympathetic heart, they feel they must protect it carefully. They have a deeply lonely nature, and secretly long for a companion who will understand them.
Their Fell version has a much more yandere personality type, jealous and possessive and willing to corrupt.

Body
Zhikharev's skeletal frame is rather tall and lanky, with long arms and legs, and a rather pear-shaped torso with narrow shoulders and wider hips. Their skull is rather long and narrow as well with an angular shape to it, and has large dark eyesockets set with small white dots of light serving as the pupils. Their jawbone is accented with two long canine fangs on top.
From their skull, glowing strands of ecto/ghost hair flow gently in an unseen breeze, weightlessly lifted. Though their hair is typically noncorporeal and can only be felt as a mass of cool air by non-magicals, they are able to summon it using magical power, the same as the rest of their ghostly bodyparts like their tongue or torso. The color of their ghostly ecto body is a very light, limey green.
Their Fell version has a more monstrous, aggressive appearance with large curving horns coming from their skull, and a long skeletal dragon tail extending their spine. Their fingerbones end in sharp claws which can be extended or retracted into long saberlike talons at will.
Clothing
They wear a rather simple outfit of a soft, striped dress which hangs below the knee, colored black and teal-green. Around their neck, they wear a spiked leather collar, thick and chunky. Their legs are clad in black tights, and their lower legs are encased in tall leather boots with flat soles. They wear glasses, with round lenses; it is not known whether these are necessary physically, magically, or are simply an accessory.
