I'm not totally done, but I kinda wanted to see if this works so far. I know it's a bit... yeah. But I wanted to do something unusual for my usual character tastes, and also something funny, so there it is. Will be finished soon. [hider=Erika Mata][CENTER][color=orange][h3]Erika Mata[/h3][/color][img]https://i.imgur.com/hMavany.png[/img] [u][b]AGE:[/b][/u] 19 [u][b]APPEARANCE:[/b][/u] Erika is just about the very definition of average, which in itself is a statistical anomaly. She has zero remarkable attributes naturally, sporting an average physique with few visible curves, a little bit of body fat, a little bit of muscle mass, and skin that is neither particularly smooth and flawless nor poor. She's 5'4" tall (or short), and weighs about 134lbs., which is a little on the heavier end of the healthy spectrum. Truth be told, if it wasn't for her rapid metabolism and the social pressure she'd probably be the female and human equivalent of the Marshmallow Man. Speaking of which, despite her Latin American heritage, she is pale as snow, which isn't actually that surprising, given that there are pretty darn white Chileans; she also spends way too much time inside, so acquiring a tan has never even been an option to begin with. The most remarkable part of her appearance is her two-toned-colored hair, which used to be really cool a few decades ago, and which Erika swears is vintage. The undyed part remains a dark brown, while she bleaches the other side and then dyes it a terribly bright, pastel salmon-sorta tone. The good part about such a hairstyle is that she's sort of forced to take care of it, or else she'd probably permanently sport the oiliest bun this side of the dry-shampoo shelf. [u][b]PERSONALITY[/b][/u] Erika is a nerd. She has a penchant for old horror movies and anything Halloween-related, probably rooted in her loving Halloween as a kid. She likes video games and anime, and is obscenely obsessed with fanfiction; whether it is writing, reading, or illustrating, her free-time is occupied by the adverb-littered literary feces that is yaoi and yuri. On top of that, she's a furry, although she'd never admit this to anyone. In her defense, she mostly likes putting cute cat ears on hot guys, but still: What a disappointment. Given her lack of interest in cultivating a social circle, she has plenty of time to sloppily indulge in her hobbies, which, if they aren't followed, a good nap is always fun. Living on her own in a small one-bedroom apartment that rivals even the frattiest of frat houses, it follows Erika is not a particularly clean person. While her personal hygiene never borders on socially unacceptable, the pig sty in which she piles figurines and comics and the like on top of each other is 100% certified socially unacceptable. Also, probably, biologically unacceptable. Erika is fairly self-conscious about herself, being uncomfortably aware of her flaws, particularly the physical ones, but lacks the ambition and discipline to work out or just, you know, not eat frozen crap and processed sugar all the time. That being said, she'd totally love it if she woke up super hot tomorrow and had a bunch of guys falling for her. But you know, whatever. She's extremely friendly and caring when it comes to animals, and works in a pet shop. This is yet another reason she would never tell a soul about her inclinations when it comes to furry-shit - she'd be worried herself if she didn't know, for sure, that she wasn't THAT sort of furry. She just thinks kitties and puppies and bunnies and hamster...ies are super cute, and she likes cuddling and feeding them. Also she needs a job. [u][b]BACKGROUND:[/b][/u] The child of third generation immigrants, Erika is just americanized enough not to know what "La Chancla" means without googling it, but not enough to sell her soul to attend college. She was raised with English-speaking parents who were eager to retain Erika's cultural heritage, but also to ensure that she'd never feel like an outsider. Overall, Erika lived an unremarkable life, with her lack of relationships perhaps being the most peculiar thing to say about her formative years. After finishing her senior year in high school, Erika desired a place of her own, having scouted a tiny apartment in a down-trotted urban district in Ohio. After she had sorted out her living arrangements, she somehow aced the interview at the little petshop around the corner of her apartment. However, without any of her already manageable amount of friends around, and no college campus to mingle in, time was... plentiful. When Haven was announced, the Chilean-American was immediately drawn towards the aesthetic of the game, and the freedom to do whatever she liked, removed from her real life persona and limitations. Though she had originally aimed to make a proper scary avatar, she ultimately decided that generic and hot opens more doors, and as such combined this insight with her adoration for everything spoopy. Since joining Haven's planes, Erika has made a bit of a name for herself in the HUB city she started in, for constantly seeking new parties to join and for failing to progress through the game at any sort of measurable pace on her own. [u][b]TALENTS AND SKILLS:[/b][/u] Literally nothing. She is not incompetent when it comes to most things, but there is not a single thing she has excelled at so far in her life. She doesn't even speak Spanish.
