Collin Sanders

General Information:

Name: Collin Sanders

Age: 12

Gender: Male

Birthday: 2nd April (Aries)

Species: Sand Bunny

Collin is a young bunny who usually appears to have a blank expression on his face. Often mistaken for being grumpy, he has no care for what's happening around him, and prefers being alone rather than with large companies. He doesn't like to speak much, and often just uses hand motions/actions to relay his message. One would think he is mute, but he speaks when you least expect it. However, most of the times, it's just rude remarks or insults coming from him than actually contributing to the conversation.

He has a strange fascination for weapons (mainly guns- water guns because he can't collect realistic guns).  Melody finds this fascination concerning and thinks he might be trying to hurt himself one of these days, knowing he's still not over what had happened 4 years ago. 

History:

Collin comes from a small family residing at Bunny Cove, Lagomorph City. He lives there with his sister Melody, a young sea bunny working to be a fashion designer, and his father, who runs a beach hut at the cove. 

Collin used to be very shy and was always tugging behind his mother or his sister. He used to get bullied for being so short and quiet. His mother was his comfort; always there to help him feel better after bad days. 

As years passed by, his mother became really ill. She could no longer put any strain on herself and was unable to help at the beach hut too. 

One winter, when Collin was just 8 years old, his father declared that they finally had enough money to spare a trip to a city with good medical facilities so they could get their mother checked up. This kids were extremely excited as this would also be their first time witnessing snow. 

Upon arrival to the city, the family checked up on the hospital. Since their mother was not to be admitted for another two days, they decided to take a trip to a ski resort, to let the kids have a fun experience. They were ecstatic, bouncing around and marveling the sight. 

Melody, wanting to check the gift store, dragged their father with her. Collin was left with his mother, and they decided to watch people skiing at the ski hills till the two returned. 

During this time however, Collin managed to wander out towards the hill, just as an avalanche came sliding down. He was barely pushed away from it in time by his mother... but at the cost of her life. 

Ever since then, the trauma of losing his mother made him seclude himself, becoming a shut in. He refused to leave his room/house, not even going to school or out onto the beach he loved. 

After over an year though, he was finally dragged out of being a shut in by his father, who along with Melody was trying their best to cope too. Despite finally leaving the house, Collin had not been the same since. The once shy bunny was gone. He acted cold towards his peers, and always appeared expressionless. He blamed himself for what had happened, and did not want to get close to anyone again just to lose them. 

To this day, he still has not overcome whatever is happening within him, and tries to suppress the memories and go on with life. 

Random Facts:

• Collin has a fascination for guns and weapons, and this is shown from how he is constantly on the watch for water guns. He has a huge collection of water guns in his room. 

• His favourite food includes watermelons and ice popsicles. 

• He has a weird dislike for shoes, and only wears slippers. He also has a bad sense in fashion, which is why Melody controls his cupboard.

• Melody is surprisingly popular at school, which leads to Collin getting run over by students from time to time, all gushing about her and the fact he's her brother. He greatly dislikes this and possibly holds a grudge against Melody for it, but Melody is unaware. 

• Whenever Collin is not at school, he spends his time helping his dad around in the beach hut. He knows the basics to plumbing and other useful things because of this. 

• He dislikes snow. It brings back the bad memories, and he would be grumpier than usual during winter season. He's extremely grateful it doesn't snow at the cove.

• Collin has very good reflexes, and is excellent at dodging things. He is also good with athletics, but choses to do water sports over land sports. Despite this, he's not very strong physically though... (His punches can be very weak)

• He already knows how to maneuver a jetski properly-

hi if anyone asks him for a watergun fight, you're going to die
