Jet

Species: Ichthyosaurus

Birthday: July 3

Gender: Female

Pronouns: she/her

Occupation: Surf instructor

Physical Description 

• Short, stout ichthyosaur
• Covered in thick leathery scales
• Wears bright, beachy clothing - the kind you see in those dime-a-dozen tourist shops with fake stucco walls and "LIVE SHARKS" in giant red letters in the window
  • Primarily wears swim trunks, with or without a shirt
  • Sees no point in wearing a bikini because, as a reptile, she has no tits to contain
• Also enjoys bright neon scene clothes, but doesn't tend to wear those as often
• Tends to wear hats because she kind of feels like her head looks bare with no hair/fins/feathers/etc. up there
• Has a septum piercing

Personality 

• Lazy, and only gets lazier the colder the weather is
  • In the off-season when the waves aren't as exciting, she'll sit inside watching Netflix for literal days
• Enjoys risky business
• Lives for an adrenaline rush
• Works hard at the stuff she enjoys, doesn't put much thought into anything else
  • Unfortunately, she still has to do taxes and shit

Likes 

• Ocean wind - it feels so nice against her scales, and it smells like a day of fun
• Tearing it up on her favorite surfboard
• Sushi, and other assorted seafood (especially calamari!)
• Teaching moron kids how to not wipe out so often
• Teaching enthusiastic adults how to not wipe out so often
• Wiping out spectacularly
  • The key word is "spectacularly" - it's no fun if she just loses her footing and slides into the water, but if the board suddenly shoots out from under her and she gets catapulted into the ocean, that's hilarious

Dislikes 

• Being mistaken for/called a fish (or worse, a dolphin)
• Similarly, being mistaken for/called a dinosaur
• Sand.  Just sand.
  • It's everywhere.  It itches.  Scales cannot protect her.
• Stormy weather
  • She WOULD surf in those wild waves if she wouldn't get into trouble and/or die on some rocks
• When beaches get closed because of literal shit, of all things
  • Oh my god, can y'all just keep your E. coli to yourselves

Personal Info 

• Buying Jet fried calamari is the quickest way to earn her undying love
• Friends with Yazz, sometimes enters surf competitions with her
  • They've got a casual friendly rivalry going; it's pretty great
• Doesn't own any non-tacky clothes

Date of Creation / Adoption: Received as a design attack via Art Fight, July 3, 2017
