Character Sheet for Shelby Nickname(s) Mum Gender Female Species Australian Sea Lion (Neophoca cinerea) Age Adult Character Description Shelby is one of the twelve chosen to be made part of the Heavy Petting Zoo by order of the God Beast of Middle Disk. While Permanence has given Shelby the gift of speech and intelligence, it has not changed her physically. Not every critter that makes a permanent home of Feralis undergoes a physical change. Though she thinks the changes some of the others have gone through are pretty cool, she's not terribly bothered about being one of the few that kept their original form. Personality Shelby is a friendly and fun-loving pinniped originally from the western Australian coast. An experienced mother, she tends to let those motherly instincts get the better of her in the form of looking out for the best interests of other critters whether or not they have asked her to meddle in their affairs. While this can occasionally be irritating to others when she sticks her nose where it isn't wanted, her genuine concern for her friends (which is pretty much everyone) and her motherly advice (born from years of experience) are a welcome comfort for the majority of those that know her. Likes/Dislikes Shelby loves the company of her friends, and prefers a relaxed environment. She's spent too many years chasing after her wild offspring to go on any spontaneous adventures of her own. She'd say she's too old for that shit. Shelby is a pretty patient lady, but if there's one thing that tends to rub her the wrong way, it's critters that interrupt someone while they're talking. That's just rude! Background/History Shelby started out as an average female Australian sea lion, spending her time eating, sleeping, and raising her pups. Permanence has given her a new understanding of and outlook on life. With the overpowering drive of her instincts muted, she's now free to pursue new goals that she never thought possible. Shelby cherishes her time with the Heavy Petting Zoo as a first step into a new world of possibilities. Relatives/Family Shelby is an experienced mother. She has raised four pups to maturity, and she's pretty sure they all turned out to be perfectly well-adjusted sea lions. She did raise them, after all. Being a sea lion, Shelby has never had one specific male in her life. Whoever had fought their way to the top rung of the bull ladder was her man of the hour. She could see that changing now that she's intelligent enough to give it some thought, but, eh, probably not. World/Setting Shelby is currently a member of the Heavy Petting Zoo, a group of feral critters specially chosen by territorial leaders that rule under the authority of the God Beast of Middle Disk. Her purpose, and that of the entire Heavy Petting Zoo, is to entertain intelligent visitors from other dimensions in an attempt to convince them to stay long enough in Feralis to gain Permanence. The Heavy Petting Zoo is required to do this by any means possible, which puts them at the mercy of their special guests. Kinks One of Shelby's favorite things about having gained Permanence is the ability to explore the things that satisfy her sexually. She still loves big, strong males and rough sex, but she's quickly finding that quite a few other things push her buttons as well. Among Shelby's other kinks are anal, some light bondage, being dominated, foreplay, and lots and lots of tongue use. Shelby loves to be licked all over, and she quite enjoys using her tongue on her partners as well. Tongues are just so versatile! Shelby has also discovered a love for being on top in the dominant role here and there. Definitely a role she could get used to. Sexuality Shelby identifies herself as straight, but she's still experimenting with the ladies as well. Never hurts to try something new!
