He can often be seen sporting some pink and purple streaks whenever he can be bothered to keep on top of it. Height? 5′9″. Body build? Average / on the skinny side Do they have any birthmarks? A few moles scattered about here and there. Do they have any piercings or tattoos? He has a couple of stick and poke tattoos that are faded, bad quality and mostly meaningless. If not, do they want to get some? He’d definitely like to get some more tattoos (maybe professionally done this time, but he can’t currently afford it) and would consider getting piercings. Do they have a healthy life style? Surprisingly, yeah. When he drinks alcohol he does go pretty over his limits, but he only does that at parties. How easy do they get sick? Barrel’s convinced he’s got nine lives, at this point. Like a cat. Any marks on their body ( injuries, … )? He has a small scar on his hand from playing with a knife ( idiot ) What’s their personal style/how do they like to dress? Barrel has a very distinct punky, alternative style, influenced by both 70s/80s punk and early 2000s emo. Mainly wears black, purple, grey and pops of bright pink. Very androgynous, can be seen rocking a dress as often as he rocks a pair of ripped jeans. Lots of mish-mashed patterns and textures. A lot of his clothes are thrifted or hand-me-downs from his siblings. Staples are punk/rock/alt band tees, black nail polish, messy hair, platform creepers and messily-applied eyeliner. What is their favorite and least favorite feature about themselves? His style is his favorite and his least favorite would have to be his smile. It’s adorable, but he can’t see that.

PERSONALITY.

Positive traits? He’s funny, individual, effervescent & can make the best out of a bad situation. Negative traits? He’s also sly, disloyal, dimwitted & irritating. What do they consider to be the best and the worst part of their personality? He loves his upbeat, fiery energy and loud existence. He struggles with how he feels about his level of intelligence – he feels like compared to his brother & sister, people think he’s the ‘dumb one’ – which he gets very defensive about. Are they more extroverted or introverted? Extroverted as hell! Any talents?  Scheming / plotting. Batting those liner-slicked eyes and giving people a soft spot for him. What are their fears? Ever losing his siblings. Do they have any phobias? None! What is their soft spot? Jack Skellington, since he has a hunch that he was the anonymous donor who bailed him out of jail a few years back when Lock got him into trouble. He knows it’s risky to idolize the man, since by Oogie Boogie’s orders, he should be plotting against him. But secretly, he wishes Jack were his father figure instead of Oogie. List 3 pet-peeves they can’t stand? Being called the dumb one, people looking down their noses at him/his siblings, people judging the way he looks/dresses.
