Nefertari "Lavender" Shepset: Reference
This is a rough reference of my Rattata fursona. Might take it to a tablet to color and polish it once I reinstall GIMP.
***
Lavender's a strange sort of woman, but means well and likes to live a relaxed life without pressure. By that, I mean she relishes her down time alone or with friends.
A first impression would show the body of an average Rattata female of 17 years. Her most distinct feature is her head to toe gauze bandaging, leaving only her wide rodent eyes and scalp exposed for her voluptuous black hair. In combat training, she releases her mitted hands to use her claws, and loosens her muzzle wraps to utilize her sharp teeth (and of course to eat). Her speech, though muffled is clear enough to be understood, though pangs an air of shyness and social-awkwardness.
At a very young age, her body was ravaged by a virus that attacked the development of her skin cells. Her skin stopped retaining the proper amount of moisture and would break painfully unless cocooned under layers of bunting, allowing the little moisture to be kept near the skin.
Little Nefertari lived a traumatic early life. Her loving Raticate mother and Manectric father, a wealthy power-production mogul, tried everything they could to keep their sickly daughter happy amongst the constant experimental treatments to permanently treat her skin. Modern fluid transfers and pharmaceuticals that had no effect led to more homeopathic remedies. Mud bathing became a common habit, and is something she practices occasionally to this day.
Ultimately, Nefertari learned to live her life under wraps. At schools she was something of an outcast, but not in a brooding and bullied kind of way. She was always an outlier when it came to interests and play, always with an overactive and lucid imagination about fantasy and injecting strangeness into any conversation.
This strangeness finally focused and cultivated in the discovery of video games, found to be a pastime for the young Rattata when play would have to be minimized during intense treatments. This love of electronic media grew into her teens, when she was well on her way to the Combat Academy to be groomed in extreme academics and physical prowess which her naturally supple frame still maintained even after a life of skin trouble.
She gained the nickname of "Lavender" from her first friend and roommate at the Academy, the Shieldon, Marcella Dellemontagne. She commented on Nefertari's choice fragrance of lavender oils, which she used on her body as a cleanser for her consistently bound skin and fur since childhood. She used it so much so, that her skin is almost permanently incensed with the scent of lavender flowers.
With her life looking bright ahead of her, Lavender keeps a giddy and fun-loving attitude towards her day. She's certainly not above getting angry and flustered, but is sure to apologize to anyone she believes she has wronged. She's not seen with many people outside of classes, of which she's done her greatest work in history and athletics. At the arcades and video stores she haunts the aisles and cabinets with her antics, and likes to bring an awkward kind of joy to employees and visitors alike, though never really getting to be known b anyone. Besides her roommates Marcella and Vyvyan, an ill-tempered Psyduck, Lavender has been seen in the company of a Squirtle, Trevor Worin. Though they appear to be the best of friends, it's possible to assume that there's more than meets the eye between them.
A secret she doesn't share with but a few souls is the meaning of her necklace, an ebony colored ankh that is never off her neck. It is, in fact, an Everstone to inhibit evolution. One of her greatest fears is to evolve, for it is unknown what will happen to the condition of her skin. It has become more manageable, though there's no telling what will happen in a new body.
