This here is what I got from  Volkenfox after I made a huge story for him.
(Links to the story here: http://www.furaffinity.net/view/16768848/ )

This here is Tammy, and she is a real hard core hippo!

(Time for some character backstory!)

She was found as an baby outside an orphan, and then got raised there.

She often got picked by the other kids there for being "fat". (All the other kids where either Felines, Canines, or other "non-fat" furs.)

It didn't get any better when she got into her teenage years where new bullies started to also add that she had a "Ugly face" and that "No one could ever love you."

That all helped create this "attitude" she now had about stepping over other, and thinking only about herself in first hand. (Because she had started to actually believe what the bullies had called herself a little bit herself.) She got herself piercings, coloured her hair green, started playing loud gangster raps in her house, and many other things to create this "character" of a rebel that would always be against everything and everyone she ever met.

But that all changed when she met me, Philip the Cat. I became the first one to show any kind "Friendliness" to her. (I would have called it love, if it wasn't for me to shy to ever tell her that yet. )

She still likes to keep up her act that she is always "Large and in Charge" but she do enjoy a lot to have a real friend next to her for once, that is actually carrying about what is on her mind and how she is feeling.

(She is pretty much my love interest, and the only thing that prevents her and me from getting together is my shyness to tell her my true feeling for her. But as long as she is enjoying having me as her friend I won't complain. )
