Name: Lexi
Species: Purugly
Height: 5’5”
Weight: 186 pounds (~84.37 kg)
Personality: Lexi hides behind various façades of clothing to mask her ‘ugly’ self. With low self-esteem and a habit of searching for the nearest bucket of ice cream when things go wrong, she’s super-conscious of her appearance; while she hides away when she doesn’t like the way she looks, she will strut without a care if she’s happy with a particular style. Having such different characteristics in these moods, she is quick to change from one mood to the next. Her mood swings, in this way, hide that Lexi is just looking for acceptance in a world that she thinks of as “slim, cute, and mrrost definitely not for a hefty person as mrryself.” She jumps to conclusions and puts way too much trust in claims that she hears for the first time. Her laid-back stay-at-home lifestyle has dampened her social skills, but she’s as jolly as can be around her siblings, regardless of her current mood. One thing to note is that she does have a penchant for cleanliness, though she creates a lot of messes herself.
Design: As a Purugly has gray and white skin with a puffed-up body, Lexi has a similar complexion and big curves, both good and bad; her sweet tooth, however, has translated into her large frame, making most dresses that would normally fit a skinnier gal rip at the seams due to her wide size. Her bottom half is gray until her belly, which is all white, and with horizontal gray and white stripes ‘ripping’ across the color division like the rest of her body, mainly near her neck and arms, while her hands are white as well. The white from her belly narrows as it travels up her neck to form the ‘mask’ that her eyes, nose and mouth rest on, though it does make it seem like her cheeks are puffed out more than they actually are. The fur that covers her tufts out in the more unkempt areas on her, such as her legs, belly, and the base of her neck, with various little bits sticking out to give her a somewhat messy look. Her whiskers are a little lengthy, but are the only pieces of her that seem to always be well-groomed. Lexi has green eyes and black hair with red accents strewn throughout, with the hair being shorter in front and longer in back, reaching down to her mid-back. Her hair style switches and changes constantly, but she casually wears it in a bedhead-like state, with various clumps curled in every which way with the occasional strand curling in a zigzag like the ends of her whiskers. Her large ears stick out of her hair and are white up to the middle and gray on the other half, with tufts on the tip as well as a red dot, the same color as the accents in her hair, placed on the side of the largest tuft on each ear. Her tail is as curled like a Purugly’s with the same white fluff at the end, but it has limited uses due to Lexi’s size.
Abilities: Preferring to stay out of fights, Lexi has little battle experience. However, she’s quite resilient due to her chubbiness. Her unintentionally scary look does make her a tad unsettling to look at, much to her dismay when she’s trying to look good as well as to her joy when she wants people to look away from her “hideous body”. For the short times she is in battle, though, she’s watched plenty enough of TV to learn how to use her frame to her advantage, and can recover from a missed slam quickly due to her softness, making her quite agile despite her weight. Her tail can be credited for being a makeshift bra, a clothes holder, and a grapple for those unfortunate enough to flee behind her.
