Arizona

Name: Arizona

Nicknames: Ari / Arid

Meaning: IRL I was born in Arizona, so that’s where the name comes from, but in-universe, they chose the name for themself because they prefer dry, arid climates, and so they vibed with this name. 

Species: Tyrannosaurus Rex

Gender: Agender

Pronouns: They/Them EXCLUSIVELY

Age: Adult

Physical Disabilities: They have a bit of a limp due to a past injury to their left leg, and now require a cane.  They don’t always need it, but sometimes the pain is unbearable, and they become physically unable to walk without it.

Sexual Orientation: Asexual

Romantic Orientation: They haven’t thought about it much, but until further notice, they have assumed they are aromantic.

Disorders: Selective Mutism

Introvert/Extrovert: Introvert

Fears:

-Rattlesnakes

-Being touched out of nowhere

-Huge crowds of people

-Mudslides

-Being trapped in a room with a stranger

Personality: Arizona is, to the most extreme degree, INCREDIBLY reserved and introverted, partly due to some fairly severe social anxiety, but mostly because of their general distaste of social interaction in any form.  They relish being completely alone, and if everyone in the world suddenly disappeared one day, it would take a very long time before they would even notice (and nothing about their current lifestyle would change).  Because of this, it is nearly impossible to befriend Arizona, and just trying could end up making them dislike you outright, but it’s not totally impossible, and for the handful of people who they actually can tolerate being around for extended periods of time (although infrequently), they are known as a naturally quiet, very spiritual person who’s very in-tune with nature and the world around them.  They love just existing, and they find the challenges that come with living alone in the wilderness both exhilarating and also very peaceful.  If given the choice, they would easily chose live the rest of their life without ever speaking to another living thing, with only the distant lightning storms and arid breeze for company.
