Blitnay

(Above) Blitnay determined to 'become' ¹⁾, illustrated by Battery

Character Traitaroos

Blitnay Seems to have a very poor sense of self preservation. ²⁾
A very mortal kangaroo ³⁾
- (Extended warranty if purchased with reactive nanotech plot-armour of course) ⁴⁾
Has most of the strengths and weaknesses of a non-alpha kangaroo
- No magic powers
  - Magic, magical items, potions and most medicines backfire or don't work as expected when used on Blitnay ⁵⁾
- No super strength
- A target for hunters
- Pretty quick once moving
- A strong kick for mattresses that get too close
Impulsive and wants to get involved always, especially if it's something new
- Sometimes this results in good things, sometimes it results in Blitnay ending up in the wrong company, doing detrimental things
- If something goes wrong as a result, Blitnay takes the full brunt of the consequences (not out of duty or to be a hero or help anyone, just out of blind impulse)
- Jealous if she can't be involved in something, even if it's an activity that's clearly not worth getting involved in
- Really benefits from having a trusted friend nearby to step in and prevent chaos ⁶⁾
Blitnay's internal guiding monologue revolves around an aspiration to 'Become' ⁷⁾ ( To grow or come to be ⁸⁾ )
Makes up for a lack of wisdom with a great capacity to learn and interest in gaining practical and theoretical knowledge about all things ⁹⁾
- Probably has at least a Bachelor's degree in a couple fields of research
Doesn't mean ill, but doesn't necessarily think about doing well either, only about what the next stimulating thing is going to be

Character Developmentaroo

Based on true eventaroos
- Battery saw a kangaroo while driving one day. Not unusual of course, but this kangaroo in particular was determined to become a roadblock.
- the kangaroo insisted on jumping onto the road with full visibility of cars approaching and stopping there in the middle of the road to take it all in
- all the drivers were moving slowly and were able to stop and let the kangaroo move off the road safely
- Blitnay's design and impulsive personality were inspired very much by this kangaroo encounter
Initial characterisation by Battery ¹⁰⁾
Blitnay's full name is 'Blitnay Sodiburra Kanginate' - an explosive mix of 'blitz', 'litany', 'Brittney' (as in Britain's relation to Australia), 'sodium', 'kookaburra', 'kangaroo' and 'detonate' (things that might happen as a result of Blitnay's impulsive actions)

Appearangaroo

Medium-light orange-brown, reddish-brown or yellowish-brown body color ¹⁶⁾ ¹⁷⁾ ¹⁸⁾
Bulbous Marty Feldman eyes with white sclera, black ring-shaped irises and distinct eyelashes ¹⁹⁾
High black angular Joan Crawford eyebrows of determination to make the listless tremble in their wellingtons (before making it her mission to become listless with them of course) ²⁰⁾
A long, downturned horse-like face. Bottom-bordered by a slightly upturned nose and mostly flat at the top. Kind of like someone's driven over an upside-down cone stuck to the bottom of a rounded cylinder. ²¹⁾
A small mouth tucked below her nose and at the bottom of her 'chin' structure, connected to her nose with a distinct philtrum. The mouth is most visible when it's open or viewed from below ²²⁾
Optional mix of short spiky and flat-top hairdo by default ²³⁾ (Blitnay would absolutely jump on an opportunity to have new hairdos, even bald shaven. especially bald shaven.)
Medium-large leaf-shaped ears jutting out from the top left and right sides of Blitnay's rounded-cylinder-like cranium ²⁴⁾
Flappy pelican-pouch chicken wing lookin' stumpy arms in body color tipped with palms, digits, claws and articulated thumb in black or very dark reddish grey ²⁵⁾
- Connected near the top of Blitnay's shoulders with the wide end of the hanging chicken wing bits connected roughly near the waist
Egg shaped body with a medium-long neck connecting straight to the back of Blitnay's cranium ²⁶⁾
Knock-knee'd legs with the tibia/fibula/lower-leg pulled back in the direction of the tail to counterbalance Blitnay's strange posture (Blitnay probably doesn't have the same sense of balance as other kangaroos) ²⁷⁾
Typical kangaroo tail for balance ²⁸⁾
Long metatarsals tipped with sharp black talons ²⁹⁾
