"I'm not afraid to love a man, and I'm not afraid to shoot him either.”
“Aim and hit it. Not on the first, the second, nor the third time. But keep on aiming and shooting, since practice will make you perfect.”
“God intended women to be outside like men. They do not know what they are missing when they stay cooped up in their house.”

Brief Background + Character Traits:
Though not exactly a product of the Wild West, Annie Oakley only became associated with the Western fold, after her "amazing talent" first came to light when she was only fifteen years old: She beat professional shooter, Frank E. Butler, in a shooting competition that rose her to fame as an international star to both royalty, and heads of the state.

Born within Ohio, Annie was the sixth-born out of nine children, conceived by her parents. However, after her mother lost two in a miscarriage, Annie became the fifth out of the seven surviving children. Living in poverty, she couldn't regularly attend school, or earn a proper education. However, at eight years old, right after her father's passing, Annie began working at the Darke County Infirmary, where she, in exchange, received an education, and developed the skill of sewing, while attending to the elderly, the orphaned, and the mentally ill. This experience aroused Annie’s lifelong generosity and compassion for others, until she left at fifteen. It was rumored that, while helping a local family, she was met with mental and physical abuse.

Returning to her mother's home, Annie supported her by involving herself in trapping, shooting, and hunting wild game to sell at local shops and restaurants. She was so successful; she was able to repay the entire $200 mortgage on their family farm. During this time, Annie was approached and challenged by Irish exhibition shooter, Frank E. Butler, in a shooting competition to not miss twenty-five shots. In the end, he lost by one bullet, and became entranced by the talented young woman, later marrying her. They produced no children.

Professionally, after taking on the stage name of "Oakley", Annie traveled west with Butler, and gave shooting exhibitions to entertain the public. She became so well-known; she became the top earner out of any performer on the Western fold. After impressing the most imposing and famous of individuals, like Queen Victoria and Cherokee Chief "Sitting Bull", she quickly became a national celebrity with her name being plastered across both America and Europe.

Aside from her deadeye ability to strike a target, Annie's inner strength helped her survive a difficult childhood, and while her strong integrity, dignity, and propriety served her well throughout her life, she quietly proved to be just as superior as men in the shooting range. Annie is very friendly, compassionate, clever, "superhumanly" headstrong, and quite "angelic" in her mannerisms, while her modesty and reserved elegance have made her a rather likable yet very attractive individual. From her humble roots as Phoebe Ann Moses, to taking center stage as Annie Oakley, this remarkably dazzling young woman was remembered to be one of America's greatest western legends, where people, including expert shooters, continue to marvel at her skills and abilities in marksmanship.

As various targets were thrown in the air, she was able to use five different guns, and shoot every single one in ten seconds, while riding a horse; even better, she could shoot off the end of a cigarette, split the edge of a playing card, and leave holes in tossed coins; she can even do some feats without looking.

No record of any quotes

Brief Background + Character Traits:
According to history, Julia was born in a time of political purpose. Brought on as the only natural child of Emperor Augustus, she was separated from her mother, shortly after birth, and became a pawn in the dynastic plans of her father. Living with her stepmother Livia, Julia had a rather strict, somewhat old-fashioned yet severely controlled upbringing. Having to learn the ways of an aristocrat, she was taught how to spin and weave, while also finding a love for literature and different cultures.

Although his expectations were high, Augustus still held a great of love and affection for his daughter, having to admire Julia for her sharp tongue and quick wit, while also having to make sure she was taught by the very best. As with most aristocratic women, these expectations revolved around marriage and family alliances. She was betrothed to her cousin, during Julia's early teens, but the marriage fell short, after his tragic yet unexpected passing. Arranged with a close friend of Augustus, the second tie was politically successful, which resulted in Julia having five children.

The second her second spouse passes away, the young Julia becomes wrapped into her stepmother's ambitious scheme for power. At a moment's notice, Julia was pushed into marrying one of Livia's sons -- the marriage have to be neither successful nor fulfilling. Because of the hardship, she bore him no children, and started committing adultery with numerous people. While her father was aware of this, he was hesitant to accuse her, as he himself laid down the laws prohibiting promiscuity.

Like with most historical figures in museums, the following details regarding Julia's personal life was exaggerated upon, and most of it was omitted for ethical and educational reasons. This version is in her younger life as a daughter set on living with her father, rather than an actual stand-alone empress.

Among ancient writers, Julia was, almost universally, remembered for her shameless profligacy in her desire for freedom; a string of loveless marriages resulted in flagrant and promiscuous conduct, leading up to her involvement in debauchery and numerous love affairs. However, despite this, Julia was equally celebrated for her beauty, intelligence, and passions. She was very popular within the Roman Empire, having to be seen by the people as a kind, good-hearted young woman, with a gentle and compassionate outlook of her kingdom; not to mention she was marveled for speaking her mind.

Though she was permitted to be "lady-like", no one expected her to learn the ways of a warrior. As Augustus was not discouraged by the fact that she was a female, he demanded that she'd also be educated “in the manner of a man, along with that of a woman”. As a result, Julia developed some skill in fighting and war tactics, to the point where she may even be able to command an army.

Full Name: SmallCrow
Nicknames: SmallCrow

Immediate relatives:

-BigCrow
-TallCrow
-Red Crow
-Velcro
-

Known For:
Small Crow was a renowned translator and mediator for the Cherokees and white Americans during the civil war. His tribe was known for being friendly towards most people, and often helped settlers and or farmers transition into their new lands. Small Crow helped negotiate for his tribe through his sumptuous knowledge of languages. He diligently learned Irish, French, Scottish, and a great deal of European languages (including English) in order to communicate between the growing white skin population of America.

Hair Color: Raven black.

Eye Color: Deep brown

Miniaturized height: .2”

Humanized height: 5’11”

Museums: The Museum of National History

Portrayer: Zahn McClarnon

Brief Backround+ Character traits:

Small Crow was one of many Indians kidnapped from his native land and taken to England, where he was forced into labor. Through handwork, he was able to demonstrate his intelligence to his masters and learned the languages around him. After 15 hard years the young Indian achieved his rights and found a ship back home.

When he found his way back home at long last, the Cherokee gladly reintegrated himself into his old society as quickly as possible. By some miracle time had taught the man patience and understanding. While he still felt distantly traumatized by his abduction, Small Crow decided it was his job to ensure that needless violence and selfishness wouldn’t occur to his kind again. All the while he was mindful of any bitterness his tribesmen held against the whites, and extended his lifetime to soothe his people.

His people soon recognized him as a young elder: someone with experience and an opinion that mattered.

--

Within the Exhibits, SmallCrow found himself doing more the same. While most strange historic pieces seemed inclined towards conflict, Small Crow managed to establish his tribe as a peaceful or neutral display. Though a fairly new addition to the Museum, Small Crow dedicated his energies for truces, or trying to empathize with the confusion of any other historical stands.

Full Name: Formicidae Sapien
Nicknames: Beady

Immediate relatives: B

Known For: Formicidae Sapien is a real life wax piece imagined from fossils supposedly found somewhere in South America. In short, Formicidae Sapien is supposed to represent a missing link between arthropods and man. Scientists hypothesis that it was a hunter of sorts, and possibly rivaled man in intelligence, yet retained some sort of hive-mind like instinct. Even. still, the scientists that don’t laugh at the thought of Formicidae Sapien’s existence debate over whether the entity was a territorial predator or worked in large clans. They’ve only found one or two fossils after all.

Hair Color: None
Eye Color: Black compound eye

Miniaturized height: *Wax and human scale
Humanized height: 6’ 4”

Museums: Darwin’s Museum of Science, the Museum of Natural History

Portrayer: Clyde the Ant Hybrid

Brief Backround+ Character traits: 

 A speculated species, the Formicidae Sapien has practically no place in the Museum of Natural history. In truth the Museum of Natural History was a temporary stopping place for the piece, since the owner of the museum knew the scientific historians who insisted Formicidae Sapien’s importance. Hence it remains in the Night Guard breakrooms. As a result, the Night Guards named the exhibit “Beady” as a joke for any new recruits eager to meet people.

Being a new exhibit and temporary exhibit is strange for Beady, who can’t yet understand any languages spoke by anyone. Oft locked up, the large ant seems befuddled by his glass display prison. He doesn’t entirely know what is going on either, and oft finds himself wondering what to do. Without hunger plaguing his stomach, a colony to maintain, or anything he’s remotely used to an ant-missing link hasn’t much to do.

Deep down, Beady feels some sort of overwhelming pressure to prove something to someone. He doesn’t know what he’s supposed to prove, or why he needs to prove it.
