Isle of Dr. Moreau serum quest complete, thanks to Anya who finagled a spot for me as a thank-you gift. crying I love you Anya!!

For my own uses, a backup of Anjali's information...


So excited. XD *bounces happily, but does not hug the Doctor as she doesn't want to die by his hands - or Aubrey's >>*


Character Name: Anjali Frangipani
Serum Used: Plant - specifically Sundew, Aquatic Variety [there are like... 90-odd variants of sundew that live in every environment... o_o but there are some which grow in the both freshwater and brackish/salt swamplands and lift their predatory pods above the water to get swamp insects]. Here are some references -

They're INCREDIBLY adaptable plants that can thrive in almost any environment. Also they're predatory and trap bugs. Mm. Anyway.


Will you be making a Mule for this character?: Yes
If So, what is the Gaia SN?: Anjali Frangipani (don't base physical appearance on the mule, it's not changed yet >> wink
Age: 24
Body Shape (boney, thin, fit, athletic, toned, muscular, chubby, slightly overweight, fat, etc) : Thin and wiry, with some muscle to her from doing yardwork but not anywhere near body-builder level or anything. Small breasts.
Height: 5' 6"
Race/Skin Tone: Indian (like from India, not Native American)
Freckles?: No
Glasses?: No
Other facial attributes: Has a bindhi dot on her forehead, high cheekbones

Eye Color: Golden
Clothing at Time of Arrival: A golden/purple sari top and sarong like bottom, in matching patterns. You can choose the design.
Former Occupation: Gardener/Landscaper
Background (in brief): Anjali grew up in a moderately wealthy family in India (she's half-Indian, half-British but STRONGLY favors the Indian side physically) with a love of plants, especially tropical plants and those from the rainforests. After going to England to study botany and deciding that science and dissecting plants on the chemical level was not the way she wanted to approach flora for the rest of her life, she dropped out of college and went into landscaping and gardening despite her parents' disapproval. While she hasn't made a name for herself, she hopes to develop a business of traditionally breeding rare exotic plants and cultivating tropical species to sell, both for money and for the propagation of rare types of plants.
Personality: Friendly but not very talkative -she'll talk to you if you talk to her, and she will be polite and engaging, but she prefers being in the quiet with her plants. She's a strong and hard worker when it comes to what she loves. She has a wiry strength to her, and is pretty tough from lots of digging and hefting gardening tools and plant flats. She's not afraid to get dirty, and is in fact at her happiest when elbow-deep in dirt and worms. She keeps a number of rare plants in her care, and goes so far as to talk to them every night in hopes it'll encourage them to grow better. She's hardy and cheerful, friendly to most people provided they don't mess up her gardening work.

Reason for Coming to Island: Supposedly hired as a gardener and landscaper, with the promise of room and board and first crack at exploring the rainforests to seek out new or rare species to use in her breeding programs.
Reference Images: None really. Just go by the description, that's perfectly fine.


About the serum (questions as follows)
Do you want to retain the human hair?: No. Please turn her hair to crazy leaves and stuff. XDD
If turning into a legless creature (snakes, fish), do you wish to retain legs?
-Arms?: I'd like her to retain her arms and root-like legs with the ability to sort of grow her 'feet' into the ground - she'll be mobile but need to 'plant' herself into the ground (either underwater or not, as Sundews are ridiculously adaptable, but in the ocean is preferred) every night. This will serve as her 'sleep'.
