Name: Sam Holloway
Age: 18
Gender: Male
Appearance: Sam is around 5''8 and of a medium build. His face is surrounded by a crown of chocolate-caramel curls and a light band of freckles are splattered across his cheeks and nose. Sometimes he ties his hair back in a little pony tail if it gets in the way. The first thing people usually notice with him are his curious eyes. He has heterochromia, which means that his eyes are around half brown and half blue. He has a few small scars spattered across his back and arms and a big scar that goes from his left shoulder down to his shoulder blade from an incident with his father. He usually covers it up though and never wears anything too revealing. Usually he wears a simple t-shirt (in pastel mostly) with something nerdy on it, or a button up shirt with a pair of skinny jeans. He also likes to wear a black leather jacket that he got from one of his old friends, even though it isn't his style at all. Other than that he normally accessorizes with a bunch of bracelets with different colors and meaning and has a lip piercing.
Personality: Sam is a very caring and considerate person who always seems to know when someone needs him. He's very good at comforting other people and he always wants to help others. When it comes to himself he's really scared of opening up and letting himself get the help he needs because his many insecurities and difficult past. He trusts very few people, but is extremely loyal to those few. His presence is usually either very calming or upbeat and happy and he's very good at pushing his own needs and emotions aside; only showing a happy and confident outside.
Biography: His past is of a very complex nature, leading to his reserved ways. The little family didn't seem very much to the world, just a sweet little christian household with a father, mother and two daughters. The first few years where fine, good even. They went to church, started school, played and laughed. It was when Sam reached the age of 13 and came out as trans to his parents that things went straight downhill. It was safe to say that his parents did not accept his identity. The only other person that he dared talk to about his thoughts and feelings were his sister who loved him unconditionally. After two long years of fighting, abuse and Nery being taking from him as a punishment he finally plucked up all of his courage and left. At age 15 he was able to stay with a few close friends until he could get a job and a place for himself. As long as he's been able to he has worked multiple jobs, both to find somewhere to live and to afford the hormones and a top surgery. It's been a year since he started fully transitioning and he finally feels comfortable in his own body. He misses and worries about his sister still, but tries to keep regular contact with her; which is hard considering the situation with their parents. Throughout all of this ordeal Nery has been his rock and his
safety. She's always been understanding and loving and never left his side.
Other: He loves both music and art and has a considerate amount of skill in both of them. Money has always been a problem and he hasn't had the opportunity to invest much in music, but he draws a lot in his spare time. He has a pretty good song voice as well, but is still about self conscious that his voice might sound feminine, so he rarely sings around other people.
Name: Nery
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Species: Otter
Appearance: Nery is a chocolate brown otter with a lighter underbelly and face and big friendly eyes. She's a bit chubby to thwart of the cold water and has smooth tightly packed fur from the same reason. The only slightly scary thing about her otherwise cute appearance would be her small sharp teeth and claws.
Personality: Nery is a lot like her human with her calm and kind personality, but is more genuine. She has nothing to hide and is always trying to be honest. Very few times has she ever freaked out and she's very good at keeping a level head in stressful situations. Even though she can seem very laid back she can be very assertive if the situation calls for it. She has saved Sam from hurting himself many times thanks to this trait. Her best trick for calming people (mostly Sam) down or comforting them is to cuddle up in their lap or around their shoulders and purring, almost like a kitten. Much like her human she's also very attentive and usually knows when somethings wrong.
Powers: She can manipulate water and usually uses her paws and/or tail to do so
Other: She gets along with almost anyone and the few times that she ever gets aggressive is when she is protecting her human. She's had a few run ins with his father when he's tried to hurt Sam and gave him some nasty wounds.
