The creation of a character...

My Characters

Perry Puffin:
Type: He is a goofy character, mostly quiet and shy.

Age: He is at least 1 year old in people years and 19 years old in puffin years.

Favorite things: He loves to eat eel, but especially in sushi rolls with rice! He loves to chill in warm waters to relax-tide pools or near ponds connected to gysers. He also likes to fly up this cliff off of the coast of Scottland and gaze at the ocean. He loves to hang out with his best friend that happens to be Nessy; the Loch-ness monster. When he is on vacation he likes to race other birds up the mountains of Canada for fun.

Dislikes: He hates this seal character named Charles that always tries to compete with him for food. He hates Fake friends. He dislikes shrimp. He is scared of killer whales and sharks.

Family: He has one sister named Olivia and one brother named Berry. He had another brother named Taylor that was older than him by a year but he mysteriously disapeared after traveling to Alaska with his mate Tooki.
His mom's name is Olympia, and his father's name is Royce. They both met on the rocks of Scottland, where Perry Puffin now lives only fifteen miles away from, on the same island though. He has good relations with his parents and is known to be the "moma's bird" in the family. He gets along well with his brother and is teased by his sister. Him and his mother get along well but him and his father don't really. His father always tries to help him be independent, but his mother smothers him still.

Occupation: He doesn't really work for money, but he does have a job along with other puffins near a dock to catch fish and bring them in for him and other families. As a reward the head puffins offer him fish.

Relationships: Perry Puffin was never a lady's man. whenever he saw a lady puffin comming up to rap her bill against his ( a kiss in puffin world) he would hide his head under his wing or flicker because he was nervouse. Sometimes he would even say bad jokes. Along the cliff side he happened to meet and spend at least three months with this other puffin named Myra, but she soon fell for a bigger, and stronger puffin than him and left.

Current Life: He still currently lives off the coast of Scottland by a flock of his other bachelor friends. He still has the same job bringing in fish.

Hobbies: Him and his friends love to go cave dwelling to search for the mysterious gems they once had here.

Goals: He wants to travel to Alaska someday with his buddies to find his long lost brother. Someday he also hopes to have his own family and move to Italy.

Anita - I finally read your posts! Very inventive -- whimsical! You should consider illustrating your puffin story.
