Overall: [400 words minimum]

If Pinky were tasked with describing herself in one word, it would be "like, FUN". It would then take her a few minutes to realize that she had used two words, and she would find it hilarious. She lives in the moment, and always makes the most of it. She always has a smile on her face, unless doing some sort of work, and is happiest when surrounded by friends. Because of this, being alone tends to get her down--she is always searching for new friends to make certain that this never happens.

She has a few annoying tendencies (incessant talking, getting distracted, slacking), but she also has a kind demeanor and would never intentionally hurt anyone's feelings. She has no comprehension of personal space, and has a habit of invading people's bubbles on a normal basis. When somebody is tired of her company, they have found it easiest to distract her and slip away rather than politely excuse themselves--it doesn't upset her.

Pinky is a talker. When she speaks, it is normally in run-on sentences and periodic "likes" and "ums". Most of the time, her sentences don't end in any intelligible way--she stops with "and...yeah!" It is very hard for her to stay on one topic for too long. She is a language teacher's worst nightmare.

Sitting still is one of the most challenging things you could ask her to do. During class, she fidgets incessantly and fights to keep quiet. She becomes bored with school very easily, and occasionally falls asleep during lectures--especially after a night of partying (most nights).

Friends mean everything to Pinky; once you've accepted her into your life, she remains there forever and supplies unconditional love. Advice isn't her forte--well, sensible advice, anyway., but she would give up anything to help somebody out. One of her favorite hobbies is to take a quiet, demure person and try to turn them into her mini-me. Sometimes, she succeeds completely; most often, she just unintentionally scares them further into their shells. However, her "never give up", optimistic attitude won't give the poor souls a moment's peace. Friends mean more than the obvious companionship--she also needs them to make herself feel useful and wanted; she feeds off of attention.

If one thing is for sure, it's that having Pinky in your life assures that you never have a dull moment. When there are no fun things going on after class, it is completely normal to suddenly receive a text message from Pinky announcing a spontaneous party that she has put together--in fact, the only planning that she approves of is party-related.

...appearance

Celebrity Play By: some chick from photobucket?
Appearance: [400 words minimum]
Pinky is 5 feet tall exactly, making her a bit shorter than average. She weighs 120 pounds and is very curvy around the hips; she often receives flirtacious comments about her "badonkadonk". Pinky's skin is tan from long sessions in the sunlight, with surprise freckles hidden here and there around her body--shoulders, lower back, and knees. Her face is round with peachy cheeks and lips, which are perpetually pouty and eye-catching because of the snake-bite piercings below. Pinky's eyes are wide and baby blue, and normally rimmed with thick black eyeliner--the only make up that she wears aside from chapstick.

Surprise--Pinky's hair is pink. At one time, long ago, she had attempted to color her dirty blonde locks to more of an auburn hue, and through some unfortunate circumstances (she fell asleep), it rinsed out to be the hot pink that it is today. Being the sort of daring person she is, she loved it and made it her staple look. Her hair is thick and ever-voluminous, but always brushed. The cut is shoulder-length in the back, tapering down to her chest in the front. Her bangs are fringed short, and normally side-swept. Headbands, barrettes, flowers, and combs are some of her favorite accessories.

Bright clothing is the only kind of clothing in Pinky's overpopulated closet. Her normal wardrobe consists of tube tops, halter-tops, and tank tops--no sleeves for this girl, ripped daisy dukes, knee-high socks, and fawn-colored UGG boots. Sometimes, she switches it up and wears a short, floaty dress. No matter the outfit, underneath is usually a swim suit of some variety. When the weather is a bit chilly outside, she negotiates by wearing woolen leggings underneath her shorts and a thermal shirt. Her party wardobe is...well, really pretty much the same. Occasionally, she wakes up too late to put much effort into dressing before class, and shows up in her jammies.

Jewelry is something that Pinky considers to be extremely fun. Her most favorite item is a string of large pearls that wraps twice around her neck, and she often wears copious amounts of silly bands, power beads, friendship bracelets, and bangles around her wrists. Another thing most often seen on Pinky's face or perched atop her bright little head is a pair of huge sunglasses. She has at least one set in every color imaginable, and several in between with patterns or bling; an entire drawer is dedicated to her collection.

Her animal alternate is a four inch long long-snout seahorse; her body is made up of bony ridges with tight, smooth skin stretched over. Seahorses have the ability to change color, and she often does this dependent on her mood--though generally, she hangs out in the pink tones.

...history

Parents: Tandy Cupid (mother) and unknown.
Siblings: none.
[400 words minimum]
Pinky was conceived in Brazil, grew her limbs in California, developed into something that resembled a human in Canada, and was finally born 9 months later on the coast of Texas. Her mother, Tandy, was a goose shift and did an extensive amount of migrating around the Americas, in planes, cars, and by her own wings. It was during one of her winter vacations that she became pregnant--the father's identity would never be known, as Tandy participated in several wild parties nearly every night.

Tandy took it all in stride and was actually elated to have the opportunity to be a mother, as she had never planned on giving up her vagabonding ways to settle down with a husband (after the first attempt) but had always wanted a child of her own. Pinky was raised with as much love and attention as she could want from her mother, but never had the chance to stay in one place for too long. Most of her childhood was spent in Texas, Louisiana, and Mexico, as the addition of a child made traveling a more expensive ordeal for Tandy; it would have been easy and extremely budget-friendly to simply fly around as a goose as she had done for years, but not being sure if her daughter would end up with the shifting ability at that point prompted her to keep the gift a secret.

As public school was a hassle, beginning in third grade Tandy took her daughter's education into her own hands and began home-schooling. Pinky became very used to slacking off and setting her own due dates, causing later problems in her academic career once she resumed formal classes. She was never a perfect student, and spent most of her time wandering the streets of Galveston, New Orleans, and the beaches of Mexico rather than studying. Without the companionship of her peers, she felt it necessary to go out and attempt to meet people who would give her the friendship that she craved.

It was on one of these outings, after her fourteenth birthday, that she was loitering around a large decorative water fountain near the courthouse in Galveston. She had been waiting for her mother to pick her up and take her shopping for new clothes that said "I am a teenager! Hoorah!", and was boredly sitting on the stone ledge next to the water. All of a sudden, she felt as though she were about to pass out--everything began spinning and she found it hard to sit upright. Her arms and legs went numb, and all sounds went mute until she tumbled backward and felt the cool caress of the water. It was hard to breathe, and she had trouble controlling her body. Her first shift was a completely disorienting experience, and she mostly just floated under the water's surface, with nothing to anchor herself to with her prehensile tail. It felt like a dream.

It wasn't until later that her mother found her in the fountain after she had changed back and lay there naked. Luckily, it had been dark for a few hours and not too many people visited the courthouse at that hour. Tandy explained the situation in detail, and also mentioned her alma mater as a place where Pinky would have the option of attendance.

Needless to say, Pinky was thoroughly confused about the entire affair for the first few days; after it sunk in and she made sense of it in her mind, she was ecstatic about attending Shifter Academy. She began attending classes there in the fall of her eighth-grade year, and is now in the home stretch.

...connecting human to animal

[One Paragraph Minimum (Can be point form)]
Pinky is a flighty character, who needs something to anchor herself to, so to speak. A seahorse has a prehensile tail which is used to attach itself to kelp, coral, and other stable environment items because they are not strong swimmers. Though she is outgoing and vibrant, she has a delicate personality and can be put out by people responding negatively to her perpetual happiness; seahorses are elegant and social, but also easily harmed and fragile.
