Name- As for a name, I would rather not go with mine, but more what I think he would be called in The Land Before Time universe. Though not very original, using the same criteria for Ruby’s name, I suppose a title that would fit him is Tan, given his brown coloration. I think it kind of has a nice ring to it. Single syllable names are pretty popular and sound a bit more casual, hence why so many people with multiple syllable names have nicknames. So yeah, just call him Tan the Yellow Belly.
Physically- He has a few scars on his left arm from not allowing wounds to heal properly. He is extremely clumsy, constantly bumping into something only to bump into it minutes later. He is thinner than most Yellow Bellies because he has a small appetite, so he doesn’t each very much. He tends to dine only once or twice a day. He’s slightly short for his age, but not enough to really be considered short in general. His body extensions are very flat and droopy, hanging down completely. He also has a double birthmark on the same arm that has his scars.
Emotionally- He makes a lot of friends, but he still has an overall feeling of loneliness. He is very different. He views things differently, does things differently, and feels differently about things than most others do. This creates a sensation of distance between him and anyone he comes across. He stares off into the distance a lot, and he frequently imagines all his friends on one hill, with him standing alone on another. Even when surrounded by those who care, there is just this wall that keeps him somewhat separated from others, much as he enjoys his time with them. He usually doesn’t like being a kill joy around others, so prefers to keep a happy disposition and have a bubbly personality. Though when in his lowest times, he has been to known to express his troubles to others.
Mentally- He is a very competitive and jealous character. In most things, he tries to do things better than others, and feel jealous when outdone. This saps most of the fun out of his activities. He rarely relaxes when doing something with others because he is constantly trying to find a way to do it in a way that others have not while trying to add the most to something. When he feels that he can’t keep up with someone in something that he likes to do, he starts feeling extremely frustrated and tends to be generally grouchy. Several things hit a nerve with him pretty easily, though he is usually able hide his offense. He is a constant worrier, though he usually worries about others.
Social Life- He is more eager to get to know girls better because he is more like them. He is very soft and gentle in mindset, so he often has a hard time relating to other males. He tries very hard to get others to like him, though he go especially out of his way when it comes to girls. He can chat for hours and hours, as socializing is a big thing for him. It can be hard to sympathize with people’s problems because feelings towards others don’t usually come automatically like they do for most characters. It’s hard to explain, but he has to base his reactions to others’ troubles off of his knowledge, not his actual feelings. If someone is hurt, he doesn’t genuinely feel anything, and although he cannot help that, and it really depresses him that that’s the case, that is who he is. He has to analyze the situation and formulate the best possible reply to comfort the boy or girl. This often leads to difficult moments for him in conversations because he has to think really hard about what he should say.
Self Image- He has an extremely small ego, feeling inadequate to others most of the time. He has a very low opinion of things he does and usually doesn’t take compliments very well as a result. If several others are pleased with an action on his part, he tends to assume they just have low standards. He rarely tries to please himself because it is a very hard thing to do. He finds problem after problem after problem with his actions, always finding some flaw needing improvement. He usually falls into the slum of, “The tree stars are always greener in someone else’s valley.” Because he is not very fond of who he is, he doesn’t take very good care of himself, instead devoting his time in trying to help others with issues he sees in them.
That’s really all I can think of, at least for the moment, on my dinosona. I can’t draw at all (pretty much everything I produce looks like a cloud) so FlipperBoidSkua kindly did the picture for me, following my description impressively to the letter. Let’s give her a big round of applause, shall we? Well, here’s my contribution to this thread. I hope it was decent.
