Licorice

Other Names: When drawn split up into the two halves, the left (red) half is "Licky," and the right (black) half is "Ricky."

Species: Mugger crocodile (Crocodylus palustris)

Birthday: May 5

Pronouns: they/them

Occupation: Ice cream truck driver

Physical Description 

• Mid-sized and stumpy
• Since they're a mugger crocodile, their face is shaped more like an alligator's than a croc's
• Duality problem
• Both halves have same markings (besides the hearts and diamonds) and same color scheme, but color placements are mixed up
• Right half is sharper overall (claws longer, spikes pointier); left half is more rounded/blunted
• Can also be drawn/portrayed/thought of as two separate beings: "Licky" (left side) and "Ricky" (right side)

Personality 

• More duality
• Left side is friendly, chipper, a bit of a trickster
• Right side is more irritable, has lower tolerance for shenanigans
• Both pretty edgy, but in different ways
  • Ricky is the middle school Most Likely to Listen to Crawling In My Skin type of edgy
  • Licky is a meme-ier sort of edgy, most likely to set depressing things to peppy music and "jokingly" call it "art"

Likes 

• Candy
  • Lollipops and licorice are their faves
• Dancing
  • Licky likes upbeat Top 40 pop music (and some indie stuff if they deem it "good")
  • Ricky likes weird dark electronic music that Licky doesn't know what to do with (how do you dance to dubstep?)
• Clowns

Dislikes 

• Sappy songs
• Sappiness in general, really
• Lifetime movies
• Sour food
• People who can't take a joke ("it's just a prank brah")
• "Normal" people

Personal Info 

• It personally insults them when the ice cream they sell doesn't look like the packaging (I'm looking at you, Sonic the Hedgehog's gumball eyes trailing down the side of his face)
• They would probably benefit from a dance class, but they're still insisting that no dance class teaches the "fun" kinds of dance
