Meche Arcastle (🧜 Creature-Crossing)

Meche started life as a rough and tough human girl who longed to be a dragon or similar awesome monster someday, only to stumble into Lilypad at the tender age of 10 and end up as a human x whale shark hybird instead. It's less awesome than being part dragon but arguably more awesome than being full human, so Meche has decided to shrug and work with what she has. Is still 100% convinced she can unlock the ability to breathe fire if she tries hard enough.

Meche dislikes listening to authority, or rather dislikes any authority that's based on you holding a rank but not having the physical strength to defend your title. She will respect anyone who beats her in a fight OR anyone who is genuinely nice to her, and will perform tasks "as favors of approval and friendship." She responds poorly to aggression, threats, or anyone indicating she is weak or submissive. In the eyes of adults she's little more than a massive brat that Courtney has limited control over, but if she wants to be your friend she'll tone herself down (and will continue toning herself down as you build a closer friendship).

Meche is always raring to go, but her energy comes in bursts (in contrast with Candle who is high energy at all times). She loves to burn her energy by roughhousing, but can also be convinced to settle down for story time or a coloring book. She isn't full of giggles, but does get starry-eyed if you can impress her. Meche legitimately does want to pit her strength against yours. When she says "Fight me" she legit wants you to fight her. She just wants to play! This poor girl would have THRIVED if CC was a Pokémon ARPG sdfsofjsjsdfs. Would be delighted if you would roll around in the mud with her.

★ Despite seeming to have a short temper, she's actually very good under pressure //rimshot

★ Fluent in both Spanish and English. Knows a few Latin words that Courtney has taught her.

★ As a hybrid, had stubby human fingers awkwardly fused onto her fins. Was sensitive about them and kept the gloves on. Very limited dexterity. Prone to getting trapped in rooms with round doorknobs you need to twist.

★ Meche's rule of liking things is "I don't like girly things, but if I DO like them, anyone who pokes fun can fight me."

★ Likes to sing and dance unless you laugh at her. Then she'll throw hands.

★ Has two dorsal fins on her tail.

★ Writes in cursive.

★ Really wants friends but doesn't know how to approach them.

★ Has nothing interesting to say about her past. Don't bother asking because it's none of your business.

★ That necklace was a gift from her late grandfather. It's a locket, but she won't show you what's inside.

★ Loves dragons and dislikes unicorns.

★ Tender human feet but can't be bothered to wear shoes.

★ Fascinated with those who can shapeshift, and mega fascinated with those who can shift between human and mythical forms.

★ If Meche were a Pokémon, she would be a shiny Mienfoo. Her nature would be Brave and her IV would be Likes to Fight

★ Her favorite color is red and her favorite food is chocolate ice cream.

★ Doesn't really understand the limitations of her own body and quick to push herself too far.

★ A bold, bratty, socially awkward little girl who really wants some friends but has a hard time finding any she clicks with.
