[INDENT][INDENT][i]In a world full of caped crusaders just stepping out into the light, it's nice to have fledglings even among the fledglings, and that's where the "Unbeatable" Squirrel Girl squirrels her way in. While I'll be playing her a bit more straight than her proper iteration (not so unbeatable, and not so...Occasionally meta), it's still the Squirrel Girl we all know and love. A goofy, fun-loving gal who doesn't entirely take things seriously, but always has her heart in the right place. Her backstory will be kept mostly the same as well, with her origins as a mystery mutate (though I might tackle this more later) that never really grew up with problems involving her gift, with just two big differences. Firstly is that she starts her heroics much later in her lifetime, and more importantly, we're picking up with her as a high schooler; junior year. For absolutely not spider-related reasons.

Of course, beyond the intent of having her bounce off other heroes who are more veteran and professional, I also plan to show off just how much of a goof she can really be, especially this new into the superhero-ing stuff. She's fresh off the proverbial presses and fumbling around like a blind chipmunk, but that means we'll see her slowly develop into a truly Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.

....Slowly.[/i][/indent][/indent]

[color=#B5651D]"Easy! Because Squirrel Girl has a tail and I don't. I just have a conspicuously big and [i]awesome[/i] butt."[/color]

It was another day for Doreen Green. She was getting ready to go to school; another day of learning, like any other. After it, maybe she'd go and pick up some more nuts from a corner store. Probably spend some time in Central Park feeding the squirrels. Or, well...That's how she used to spend her time outside of school. Getting dressed, she couldn't help but side-eye her costume hanging ever-so-conspicuously in her closet. That fur-lined bomber jacket, complete with a utility belt...That was full of nuts. Her mom actually made it for her; she couldn't have hid this side of her even if she had wanted to. Her parents had been well aware of what she was since the beginning, given that she came out as a baby with a bushy little squirrel tail. They'd protected her their whole lives, helping to keep her gift safe. She couldn't help but smile thinking about it. It was a nice change of pace for her to protect someone instead. They were super supportive of her, too...Which, well, was pretty obvious when her own mom made a superhero outfit.

[color=lightgray]"Still, couldn't you wear...A helmet? Domino mask? Something?"[/color]

The one questioning Ms. Green was none other than a squirrel themselves, with fine silvery hair and a pretty bow tied around their neck. To anyone else, it was mindless chittering, but for Doreen, it was perfectly legible...If not a little antagonistic. Doreen pouted into the mirror as she stuffed herself into a set of pants, squeezing her massive tail to form her aforementioned 'conspicuously awesome butt'. [color=#B5651D]"Tippy-Toe, it'll be fine! Even if Doreen Green and Squirrel Girl look the same, the tail's the giveaway. No one'd ever guess it was me!"[/color] She was confident in her [s]rather poor[/s] disguise, though admittedly, she'd been given at least a bit of a reason to think so. It'd held together this long. Plus... [color=#B5651D]"Aaand there's the headband, too! But no one knows it's a headband; all the news and stuff thinks I actually have squirrel ears, which would be [i]awesome[/i],"[/color] She says, as if to assuage her dear squirrelfriend that the lack of such a feature wasn't something she was pleased about. [color=#B5651D]"but it makes it even more foolproof! What's Doreen Green [i]not[/i] have? Squirrel tail, squirrel ears. Simple as that!"[/color]

Tippy-Toe seemed wholly unconvinced, but had given up on trying to convince the persistently optimistic young girl. [color=lightgray]"Alright, if you say so. But I will say I told you so when someone finds out."[/color] [color=#B5651D]"Pfft!"[/color] Doreen couldn't help the noise that escaped her mouth. [color=#B5651D]"You won't need to! It's foolproof. No tail, no ears, no Squirrel Girl. Though honestly, if anyone paid any real attention, the teeth'd be the giveaway..."[/color] She inspected her mouth in the mirrors, dragging it open to a near comically-large extent, showing off her rather incisor-like two front teeth. They even worked like the real deals, too, always growing and growing...It was a lot easier when they used to be able to shorten themselves on wood, but nowadays, her teeth were even punching through steel. Maybe if they got a wheelsaw or something...?

Her impromptu molar inspection was cut short by a pinging noise at her bedside, to which her tail casually slipped its way free from the confines of her pants and scooped up her cellphone. Almost immediately, her rodent friend called it out. [color=lightgray]"Doreen. Tail."[/color] Doreen blinked a few times before she realized what limb had exactly gotten her cell, and she sheepishly scratched the back of her head. [color=#B5651D]"Oh. Oops! Lemme just, uh..."[/color] It was another herculean feat from her to shove the rambunctious third arm of hers back into her bottom, but once it was done, she was free to check what the sound had been about. It was a message from Nancy Whitehead. They'd only met recently in her Computer Science classes, but they'd hit it off pretty well, she'd thought. Definitely considered her a friend. Smiling, she opened the text to something that instantly caused her to take a sharp breath through her teeth.

"Are you Squirrel Girl?"

Tippy-Toe, seeing the shell-shocked expression that hit Doreen's face, hopped onto her shoulders to get a better view, and didn't hesitate to speak her mind. [color=lightgray]"Told you so."[/color]

[color=#B5651D]"....Aw, nuts."[/color][/indent][/indent]
