Eepa Reference

Name: Eepa (Pronounced E-pah) or Eep (Pronounced Eep) (due to her easily frightened nature)

Age: 17 years

Species: Frilled Lizard

Gender: Female

Personality: Eepa is an easily frightened lizard who enjoys being around animals. When she's surprised, nervous, or scared, Eepa's frills puff out in the blink of an eye and her eyes become smaller. She's shy and artistic, and though very quiet she's very expressive and confident around people she knows well. Otherwise, she generally likes to keep her head low and blend into the crowd, which is difficult for a girl with frills around her head. She's caring and compassionate, and when she's asked, almost always helps people. She's smart, a B to B+ student, but nothing extraordinary. Generally, Eepa is caring and quiet, and very easily scared. When she gets nervous she often resorts to babbling, something she hates about herself. Easily flustered and flattered. Enjoys doing charity work. Often called a "flower child."

Appearance: Eepa is purple-skinned with bright orange markings and frills lining her head. She has a yellow tongue with an orange tip and deep blue eyes. Her claws are yellow, and she almost always wears baggy flare jeans, a hippy-blazer, and her necklace. She rarely ever wears shoes, and nearly always wears flats when she does. She has a patch of orange scales on her belly and orange markings on her right arm and all around on her frills, which poof out when she's frightened, nervous, angry or intensely sad. Tall, thin, and flat-chested. Almost always blushing, even if it's only slightly.

Biography: Eepa was born to two gypsy frilled lizards who lived in their van. She lived as a traveler with them until she was five years old, at which point her parents decided to settle down and raise her correctly. This lasted until about a year ago, when her father was revealed to be a heavy drunkard and her mother filed a divorce, taking full custody of twelve-year-old shade. She grew up relatively normally afterward, living quietly and uneventfully. Eep got into charity work when she was 13, starting with small things like trash collection and working up to things like taking care of the elderly (working at nursing homes) and starting up plant-a-tree projects at her school. 

Powers: Does the ability to puff out her neck count?

Abilities/Talents: Eepa, though quiet, is intelligent and talented at writing and drawing. She has a lovely, if quiet, singing voice and jogs frequently, better at sprints than long distance. Nimble and agile, Eep can run her way out of any situation.
