Name: Josie Douglas
Age: 9
Gender: Female
Appearance:
(Here, have a doodle of her) Josie is small for her age. She has long, wavy locks of strawberry blonde hair that are usually in an unkempt state. Her eyes are brown and she has a smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks. More often than not she takes the liberty of dressing herself. She likes dark colors, jackets, long shirts, leggings, pretty jewelry (and lots of it) and never leaves home without a pair of bright red cowboy boots.
What is Changed: A row of chitinous plates runs down her spine, stretching out across the back of her ribs in places, and form into a long agile tail. Josie is good about keeping it safe and curled up so that the viscous looking and highly poisonous stinger at the end doesn't cause any accidents.
Bio: The "daughter" of the head of the Entomology Department of a state university, Josie spent the beginning of her life in middle class comfort. However it was never certain to those around her little family of two whether her "mother" loved her or was simply fascinated with her. During an extremely unfortunate visit to the university laboratory with her "mother," the girl was made to be the subject of one of the departments experiments. She was examined, poked, prodded, yanked and jabbed and when it became too much for the child to bear she lashed out. A student was hospitalized and later died of his injuries. Social workers were called in to evaluate Josie's living conditions. The head of the Entomology Department was charged with negligence and jailed. Her sweet little experiment was handed over to the state and put into foster care. Josie has been handed between several foster families now and over time they all grow nervous and uncomfortable of her strange anatomy and unpredictable behavior. She is an expert at sneaking out of the house and going about her business around the city.
Personality: She is vigilant, intelligent and observant. She enjoys wandering the streets looking for spectacles and hand-outs. Her imagination is very active and she likes to pretend that she is on adventures, crusades and hunts whenever she goes out. Her vocabulary is larger than most children her age as she enjoys reading and having conversations with adults when given the chance. However charming and smart she may be there is something undeniably predatory about her nature that leaves many feeling uneasy.
Crush/Relationship: None, boys are gross.
Friends: Crash, an imaginary monster she often talks to and takes with her on her adventures.
Other: She prefers to be outside in the evening and late into the night to the great dismay of her foster parents. More than once she has been brought home in a police cruiser after a frantic 911 call.
