Description Name: Lettuce
Species: Chiot
Sex/gender:

Age: 18

Height: 34 cm

Birthday: July 30


Personality:
Tense. This kid is alert and restless at all times--or as far as other chiot can observe, since it's their presence that puts her on edge. Having spent a chunk of her childhood abandoned in the wilderness (luckily, some pongu took pity on her and kept predators at bay), Lettuce has trouble understanding others and communicating with them. Even with the years her father, after retrieving her, spent trying to help her adjust, she still has her quirks. For one, she doesn't understand complicated emotions. She'll often fight her own facial muscles in the confusion of her own feelings and end up with bizarre expressions. Deep, contemplative thoughts are beyond her as well. She has simple beliefs she sticks to, like defense of plants. Heaven forbid someone eat a salad in front of her--she'll break down crying or scream or attempt a solution or punishment of whoever could commit such a horrifying act. In some way, she sees herself as a plant creature similar to a pongu, and consuming plants is akin to murder.


What keeps her from being a complete wild child who attacks everyone who steps on a flower, is her innate cautiousness. Depending on the perceived threat a stranger might pose, she could choose to flee instead of chide them for hurting nature. But for a while, she may appear completely frozen as she waits and sees if something is a threat or not. Touching her without permission can get such results too as physical contact is something she has trouble handling if it's not someone she trusts. Another reason she will often freeze in place is because she doesn't want to run. If she runs, she won't learn, and she's learned that things that aren't "unknown" anymore aren't as scary afterwards. As such, she has a fear-driven curiosity with the goal of feeling less and less threatened in her daily life.


Letty's idea of getting to know people is staring at them. Gradually, she'll talk more, but generally she doesn't have much to say. She listens very attentively though... unless she's relaxed enough around you to be sitting without anything to do, because she absolutely will fall asleep right in front of you. Moving around engages her brain more. Her main activity is using her agility to traverse forests to catch bugs. Her main diet consists of them. Any and all bugs. She would spend most of her time hunting them, but thankfully she's been introduced to other forms of nourishment, so she doesn't go hungry while doing other things.


Likes:

Dislikes:

Titles: [Newbie]

Tail type: Bristle

Ear type: Flat


History:
Lettuce was left to the elements by her mother at a young age. Had a wild pongu not taken pity, she would have certainly died. The group of pongu kept the child safe from predators, though they didn't provide much else. Her cautiousness kept her safe too, and, somehow, keeping plant-eating bugs off of her bigger friends became her contribution to the hoarde. Soon enough, eating various insects became her number one activity. Perhaps the mix of them all further ensured her body could safely consume even more types of them.


After some time, an adult chiot found her in the woods. Lettuce hadn't yet forgotten language, but her skills in it were poor. It took a lot of coaxing, but the adult managed to convince her that he's not dangerous and to go with him. As it turned out, this chiot was her father who had recently learned of her existence and her fate. And so, in a house on the far outskirts of Mana village, her father retired from being an explorer to raise her alone. It was a rocky start while they got used to each other's quirks and new situation. Still, little by little Lettuce became somewhat more civilized...


She calls her father by name, "Sorrel," but they're on good terms. She just finds him annoying sometimes with all his fussing about strange things. In the end, just like him, Letty chose to be an explorer. In large part due to getting to discover new flora and lessen the amount of "unknowns" that could frighten her.


Extras:

* She has an eye for detail, having trained her vision hunting bugs.

* Has quick hands for the same reason as above.

* Her pupils are flower-shaped not star-shaped, in case it wasn't clear :'{

* Tosses A LOT in her sleep.

* Bleps when relaxed.

* Doesn't share.

* Doesn't even share why she's laughing--just writhes on the ground chuckling.

* Doesn't get most jokes, so good luck figuring out how to make her laugh.

* "What's private property?"
