Description:
Bumblebee is commonly described as youthful and adorable. His always smiling face and childish features give him an air of innocence while his bright, baby blue eyes always have a mirthful shine. His gold tinted hair sits in a wild mop on his head, just long enough to occasionally fall in his eyes and tickle his ears. You'll typically see him dressed in bright yellow colors, his favorite color and a perfect display of his personality.
Under all the childlike features, however, is the form of an athlete! Though quite the opposite kind of athlete than his friend Animex, this boy was built to run! He has a thin, lean build with powerful muscles in his legs meant to carry him at great speeds for long distance. Don't underestimate him because of his boyish looks! He's powerful in his own way, and will use that power to protect the ones he loves!

Cheetah

Breed: Cheetah

Eye Color: Blue

Coat Color: Golden

Description:  
This boy's cheetah form is built as a cheetah should be, wiry and lean with powerful long legs that carry him at inhuman speeds and offer him high maneuverability. Born and built to run, cheetah Bumblebee is an obvious speedster beyond normal capabilities.
Unnatural baby blue eyes glimmer brightly as he watches his surroundings, and can narrow with sharp intent when there's a race to be won. Soft golden fur glistens beautifully in the sunlight, dappled by dark spots typical of this swift racing species. However, an odd, unnatural set of spots stand out on his coat. Two rows of these markings line up nearly perfectly from just above his eyes down the length of his body, and have unusual white rings around them. It's unknown how or why these strange spots occur, but 'Bee cherishes them.
This kid sure is something special.

Personality Descriptions

General: "That kid could light up the world."
His personality is all in his name. Bumblebee is bright, fun loving, and positively buzzing with energy! He's always bringing smiles to the faces of the ones around him, chatting and telling fantastic stories that reign full of humor and daring feats! He loves just hanging out and being around people, but he's always up for a friendly challenge and has quite the competitive streak. Even so, he's a gracious loser, more happy that someone else won than he is upset that he lost. Mind you, that doesn't mean he'd throw a challenge, he's always in it to win it and just have fun!
You can always count on Bumblebee to be there for you. He's fiercely loyal to his friends; always there to listen to someone's problems and offer advice, always willing to jump out and befriend someone who needs it, and always willing to put his life on the line to defend anyone. You could trust him with your greatest secrets, and your life. He'll never give up on anyone. He's learned how to use his words and his voice to calm escalating situations and get through to just about anyone, his warm tone expresses more than any words possibly could.
Bumblebee's a friend to anyone and everyone, if you ever need someone to talk to, or to stand by you, he would never hesitate to be there.

Strengths and Weaknesses

Strengths: One of Bumblebee's greatest strengths is his words. His charismatic nature has always made him one for chatting, but his abilities to use his words is much stronger than that. He can give hope in the darkest times, talk peace into a violent situation, turn a bully away from his evil deeds, and give someone a second chance at life. His soothing voice and talent for bringing forth the right words are a weapon to behold, one he uses for peace and the rebuke of war.
Secondly, his unbridled speed is a force to be reckoned with! His powerful running legs and enhanced shifter speed are almost unmatched! He's agile with lightning fast reflexes and maneuverability he can weave his way in and out of any dangerous situation, using his speed as a fine tuned weapon. He may not physically be the strongest, but when he's coming at you at full speed, he's gonna leave an impact!

Education Level: Bumblebee has an average Highschool education. He keeps to his studies and is a good student, but will blow off his homework any day for taking time with friends. He values his friends and people over schoolwork.

Physical Soundness: Bumblebee's big heart isn't just emotional, he's physically fit and passes the bar of good health. Strong heart and lungs support his athleticism, while his muscular system is fit and strong. He's got a strong immune system to combat illness and a high metabolism to support healing.

Weaknesses: Bumblebee's problem; he can be too trusting. He always want's to believe there's good in every person and longs to help people find that good in themselves. This has lead him to naivety and has gotten him in trouble and hurt many times.
He's a classic self-sacrificing case, always willing to step in and become the target of pain and/or humiliation to save someone else from going through it. But, he always holds his head high, shrugs it off, and keeps on smiling even after the harshest of insults or the sharpest of hits.
'Bee also struggles on the physical strength side. While he is fit and healthy, he's more bred to run and jump than to fight in a match of strength. He's learned to make up for it with his speed and flexibility, but that doesn't change the fact he can be easily put on his rear if he does get hit.

Disabilities: None, Bumblebee is the picture of mental and physical health.
