(this is my look outside persona! he is 4'5 and uses he/they/it pronouns!!!!)
(anyways. rule time!)
(DON'T BE FREAKY. while this thing has no canon age, it is a representation of me. you can flirt, but if i don't answer your ask, i'm uncomfortable or too busy.)
(speaking in parentheses means i'm out of character, and it's truly me speaking, otherwise the text goes in quotes. this is repeated every time. expect this by now..)
(rp tag is #shadow ribbons when in character!)
(you can ask ???? or otherwise known as Riza stuff, do actions, or give him things. he is very curious, so i encourage this!!)
info about my lovely lil persona
he is absolutely silent and cannot speak, but can purr! like some weird ass cat
his body is soft to the touch, almost like fur. his head is especially soft, as it resembles really fluffy hair!
the ribbons on his back emerge like hands and are smooth and silky.
his eyes glow in the dark! nothing else does, not even the ribbons when visible.
very curious and friendly, he loves learning!
sadly, he cannot understand emotions properly and can't feel sorry or malicious, but can mimic behaviors and replicate the feeling if he observes it from other people!
he is completely silent when moving, like he's made of air!
here is what he looks like!!!

He squirms on the counter before he loses his balance and falls backwards and right off the counter. It's eyes widen and his ribbons curl around himself immediately before he hits the floor.
He unfurls his ribbons slightly, looking up at Mutt. It blinks, before a ribbon unfurls further to reach other and wrap around Mutt's hand, very gently, like he was afraid of hurting the other.
"..?"
He nodded, the ribbons around his body unfurling all the way. The ribbons had helped him go unharmed from falling, soft and silky like real ribbons.
He's very lightweight, so it's not that hard to pull him back up onto his... feet??? There were no legs in sight, like he was wearing a cloak or something.
Upon being helped up, it gave a small bow, like thanking you. After all, who wouldn't express gratitude after being helped?
He squirms on the counter before he loses his balance and falls backwards and right off the counter. It's eyes widen and his ribbons curl around himself immediately before he hits the floor.

Within a dark corner of the gory apartment, two purple eyes with a faint glow look at you.
@ribbonedshadow
"Hsssss...." With a squelch, A crunch, and an audible crack. Ribs slowly turns themselves around to peer at the newest disturbance. Something about the air of the room simply felt Off...
"...Oh?" They quickly chirped out. Seeing...Well, They aren't sure. It's too dark. Is it a person that wandered in? A Fellow Unraveled seeking solace? Or is it perhaps the early signs of delusion winning the fight.
"O-oh please! Don't be afraid!" The skinless thing exclaimed from across the apartment. Curiously taking a few steps towards them on their collection of arms. "I'm..Hsssk...P-perfectly harmless! You can come out!"
It blinked, gliding out of the darkness and sliding towards Ribs, looking at it's face with a childlike curiosity. The creature didn't say anything, almost like it refused to or couldn't, but it stared directly into Ribs' eyes.
After a moment, he glided around, looking at Ribs from every other angle. It seemed fascinated by their form, but not touching Ribs at all. This thing seemed to have a concept of personal space..
That's...Unusual. Most things can speak. People, rather. But this doesn't.
Perhaps they're simply shy? It's not an impossibility in Ribs' eyes. Or it could be shock, shame, or some other litany of other reasons...Or they just might not have a mouth. That's applicable as well.
Ribs all the while ensured to keep a constant eye on the strange creature. Neck craning around with unnatural flexibility to keep a constant eye on the strange shadowy being.
"I don't bite, You know." They continued. Shifting their stance so that fanged maw along their underside was less immediately noticeable.
"Do you...Hsss...Hhave a name?" They soon questioned.
It slid back in front of Ribs, looking at their face. At the question it's ribbons emerged from it's back, pulling out it's journal, showing Ribs. The page was open to something pre-written.
"riza"
The handwriting was messy, barely legible, almost like a child wrote it, but it looked excited to meet more people. Two ribbons held the journal open, the other four fidgeting with anything around it.
Those lidless eyes eagerly poured over the page. Neck elongating slightly to draw closer to the Journal before finally turning that gaze towards the shadowy figure once more.
"...Rrr...Riza. Riz-a. Reeza. Ryza." It parroted. Sounding out each syllable over, and over, and over. As if "Tasting" the word before finally turning their attention back towards the figure.
"Riza...That's a...Hsss...Pretty name." It finally responded. "Are you...Alone? Is someone looking for you...?"
Between the small size and messy Handwriting, Ribs had simply assumed this...Creature had once been a young individual.
It looked happy at the compliment, closing the journal and tucking it away. This one seemed nice, he hoped they were friendly like everybody else he's met.
Alone? He was by himself pretty often, so yes? It gave a small nod, before shaking it's head. Nobody was looking for him. Nobody really classified themselves as it's friend, nobody actively seeking him out.
"..."
It looked behind it, before turning back to Ribs. This place looked familiar. Why did it look familiar? The shadow looked confused, looking at the walls and the floor beneath it, finally taking a better look at everything.
"It's Dangerous here." Ribs suddenly interjected in amongst all this.
Its tone sounded...Different than before. That cautious tone replaced by that utterly deadpan sincerity. Curt and immediately to the point.
"There's a creature that lives...Hss...Here. Not me of course, But...Something else. A terrible thing. It hurtsss people. Makes them different. Sssteals from them.."
It stepped back a foot or two. Neck rearing up to try and address Riza on their own level.
"You shouldn't be here. You could get stuck. You...Hgghhk...C-could get changed. You don't want that. You do NOT want that."
It startled at Ribs suddenly speaking again. He looked at Ribs, taking in their words, understanding them. Something dangerous here, it hurts people? That's not good. It remembers something growling at it when he tried to come here.
"..?"
Wait. If Ribs was here, looking like this.. Oh. Oh no. It's eyes widened at the realization. It hurt Ribs, stole from them, and now they're trapped here. The shadow lowered it's gaze and visibly deflated. That was terrible. Not good. Not good at all.
They picked up on this immediately. Neck craning itself downwards to get a closer look at the Shadowy being. Claws anxiously balling up into painful fists.
"I...Uhh..I'm...Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Ribs quickly stammered out. Lidless eyes darting away for a second as they struggled to figure out what to say next. "I jussst...Hss...D-don't want you to get hurt. That's all."
They dared not touch them. Instead backing up a few feet like a cautious animal to give Riza plenty of space.
"If It does come...And tries to hurt you. I'll...Hsss...I'll protect you!" They quickly added. "It can't make me any worse. It can't Hurt me any more that It already...Hsss...Hassss."
"..So I can try to keep It from you."
Riza looked up at Ribs. It looked sad. Not scared, but remorseful, sorry. That happened to Ribs? It felt horrible. Nobody deserves that.
"..."
It pulled out the journal again, writing on it and sliding it over to Ribs. He still looked.. pretty sad, but not as sad. The writing was slightly smudged, like tears fell onto the page.
Their head twisted as they looked over that Journal curiously. Long neck bobbing and swaying like some serpent as those focused eyes took in the writing.
"...O-oh! Oh..I...thhhh...Thhhank you!" They quickly blurted out. That intent gaze quickly turning back to Riza. Claws quickly adapting a pair of desperate looking thumbs up.
Before they extended their index-talons and dragged it along the front of their skull in an upward curve just above their jutting fangs, as if outlining a smiling expression.
"Thaat...Hsssk...Th-that really means a lot! You're very nice too. Terribly polite for a young..." They paused, Looking the other over. "...Whatever you are, Riza."
"And don't...Hssssk...Worry about that Creature. I'll keep you sSss-sss-safe!"
Their eyes glossed over the name. Oh, Yes. That person...Wait.
There was a moment as Ribs paused. Claws digging into the side of their skull as they briefly tried to put their thoughts together. The name, The name, They knew that name...
OH! right! Sam. That guy that lives next-door.
There was a slight exhale as the creature seemed to relax for a moment.
"Y-yes! Sssam. I've met him once or twice...Seeemsss like a...Hsssk..Nice enough person. Why do you...Hss...Asssk?"
"...Hsss...Y-yes, Sam is quite nice. He cooked for me once!" Ribs happily responded. Shifting slightly to awkwardly lay down with their limbs folded while they kept their gaze trained on the other.
"Have you.....Hsssk..M-met my friend?" They questioned. Bare skull cocking slightly. "Her name is...Ssss...ssss..S-Spine." They explained.
"She's like me. She's...Changed. But she's nice! R-really nice. She...Hsss...Helped me when I first Woke up."
Ribs paused for a moment, Thinking.
"...She's not as long as me...But a lot bigger! She's got..." Ribs concentrated. "...Eight..? Ten legs? Sssomething like that. And of course she's got..." One of their arms twisted backwards with a wet crunch to run a talon along their back.
"A Big ol' set of teeth on her back...That way y-you know what ssshe...Hsss...Looks like if you meet her!"
Hearing Spine's name, it nodded happily before writing down some more.
"spine" "nice"
"napped with me"
He looked pretty happy. He was making new friends, and they were already friends with Sam and Spine! He knew those people, and if they knew Ribs, it means Ribs is friendly! He wasn't aware there were more here, but seeing Ribs made him feel less.. alone.
"sam" "sandwich for me"
It shifted, sitting down and fluffing up his head, shaking back and forth for a second before settling. He didn't seem to have legs, just one big conjoined lower half, like a cloak.
"Ah, He...Hsss...Made you a sandwich? That's...Nice." Ribs responded in turn. Continuing to silently observe Riza as it pondered what to actually say next. Communication was difficult between the duo, and the constant threat of that creature's return was worrying.
"...Well, R-rest assured that...Hsss...Spine can be trusted. And you can trust me asss well...Of course..." They explained.
They waited for a moment, Thinking. "...O-oh. Isss there...Anything I can get you? I mean I don't...Hsss...Have much, But I can try!"
The question registered in his head. Anything else he needed? ...Did he need anything else? It slowly blinked, lowering it's head to look down at his lower half. He blinked again, suddenly dizzy. Why was everything so fuzzy now? His head hurt.
The ribbons dropped the notebook and pencil, two lower ones grabbing them before they hit the floor, and the upper ribbons grasping at his own head. He didn't like this pain. It wasn't nice, not nice at all.
It's ribbons came out, unfurling and swaying softly. His eyes remain fixed on it, mesmerized and fascinated. So many pretty colors, all together. People say not to look out here, to look at it, but it's so pretty.
[ It reached appendages that spiraled till it was small enough for its sensors to wiggle back at the ribbons. ]
[ It's eye drifts closer, most of them do. Causing a glittery fog to cover the roof as more appendges wrap around the top of the roof crushing the very much alive foliage on the roof. ]
It jumps at the sudden greeting, but tilts it's head up, giving a small wave with all six ribbons. His eyes look at the things happening around him, fascinated and very curious. He glides forward slightly, trying to get closer to any of the eyes.
[ it's smaller eyes reached even closer before they recoiled since the visitor wasn't actually as close as they looked ]
" Hi. "
[ it kept saying variants of some greeting in voices you could almost familiarize! But it was too warped and the voices were at confusing pitches that only synced together to be coherent for any listener]
" ... "
[ its focus slowly drifted and focused in again, perhaps it's observing you more closely like a bug on a log. ]
It tilted it's head, confused. So many weird things happening, so much stuff to process.. This thing was pretty, and hopefully nice. Tiny? Was it referring to him? He was.. normal sized. It was this thing that was big!
"...."
He shifted slightly, before losing his balance and falling over. His ribbons wrapped around himself to keep from getting possibly injured, which made him just slightly bounce off the floor.
He got up slowly, giving a nod. The ribbon it touched twitched, giving a small wiggle before they go back into it's body. His head tilts, curious about the large thing.
It can't speak, but has multiple questions tucked within it's mind.
[ It starts retreating before it extended larger appendges over ]
" You can do something for us yes? "
" Give this to Hellen. She requested this of us. We tried our best to make some form of amends with her. "
[ it's difficult to tell what this is...it's sharp! But also very ridged and boney. Unsure if this is a sentient weapon or something. Either way it looks like a bone saw...with actual bones and metal merged together! ]
The ribbons emerge to take it, holding it delicately before putting it away.. somewhere. After taking it, it's ribbons reach out to touch a large appendage, or at least try to.
It's ribbons came out, unfurling and swaying softly. His eyes remain fixed on it, mesmerized and fascinated. So many pretty colors, all together. People say not to look out here, to look at it, but it's so pretty.

He shifted slightly, before losing his balance and falling over. His ribbons wrapped around himself to keep from getting possibly injured, which made him just slightly bounce off the floor.
It slides closer, though keeping a respectable distance. It was.. small. Shorter than Iris. He looked up at Hellen curiously, tilting it's head to look at her eyes.
It gave a little nod, like a 'hey' in return. He glided closer just a little bit. Enough to get a better look at Hellen, and for Hellen to get a better look at him. She looked nice.
It doesn't say anything, but does a small shake of it's head. It didn't need any help, at least it didn't think it did.. He just wanted to meet a new person.
It shook it's head. No, he cannot talk. The shadow shifts slightly, shaking it's head and fluffing up whatever it's made of, looking back up at Hellen.
"...!"
It's eyes land on her cleaver. What's that? He would ask if he could, but instead, he tilts his head while staring at the weapon. It's seen kitchen knifes, but not.. this one.
*Hellen wasn't good at small talk. She always prefers to get to the point, but what if there isn't really a point? Was she expected to just ramble on about gardening? Her cleaver? Her other tools? She isn't really being given much to work with.*

Perhaps they're simply shy? It's not an impossibility in Ribs' eyes. Or it could be shock, shame, or some other litany of other reasons...Or they just might not have a mouth. That's applicable as well.
Ribs all the while ensured to keep a constant eye on the strange creature. Neck craning around with unnatural flexibility to keep a constant eye on the strange shadowy being.
"I don't bite, You know." They continued. Shifting their stance so that fanged maw along their underside was less immediately noticeable.
"Do you...Hsss...Hhave a name?" They soon questioned.
It slid back in front of Ribs, looking at their face. At the question it's ribbons emerged from it's back, pulling out it's journal, showing Ribs. The page was open to something pre-written.
"riza"
The handwriting was messy, barely legible, almost like a child wrote it, but it looked excited to meet more people. Two ribbons held the journal open, the other four fidgeting with anything around it.
Those lidless eyes eagerly poured over the page. Neck elongating slightly to draw closer to the Journal before finally turning that gaze towards the shadowy figure once more.
"...Rrr...Riza. Riz-a. Reeza. Ryza." It parroted. Sounding out each syllable over, and over, and over. As if "Tasting" the word before finally turning their attention back towards the figure.
"Riza...That's a...Hsss...Pretty name." It finally responded. "Are you...Alone? Is someone looking for you...?"
Between the small size and messy Handwriting, Ribs had simply assumed this...Creature had once been a young individual.
It looked happy at the compliment, closing the journal and tucking it away. This one seemed nice, he hoped they were friendly like everybody else he's met.
Alone? He was by himself pretty often, so yes? It gave a small nod, before shaking it's head. Nobody was looking for him. Nobody really classified themselves as it's friend, nobody actively seeking him out.
"..."
It looked behind it, before turning back to Ribs. This place looked familiar. Why did it look familiar? The shadow looked confused, looking at the walls and the floor beneath it, finally taking a better look at everything.
"It's Dangerous here." Ribs suddenly interjected in amongst all this.
Its tone sounded...Different than before. That cautious tone replaced by that utterly deadpan sincerity. Curt and immediately to the point.
"There's a creature that lives...Hss...Here. Not me of course, But...Something else. A terrible thing. It hurtsss people. Makes them different. Sssteals from them.."
It stepped back a foot or two. Neck rearing up to try and address Riza on their own level.
"You shouldn't be here. You could get stuck. You...Hgghhk...C-could get changed. You don't want that. You do NOT want that."
It startled at Ribs suddenly speaking again. He looked at Ribs, taking in their words, understanding them. Something dangerous here, it hurts people? That's not good. It remembers something growling at it when he tried to come here.
"..?"
Wait. If Ribs was here, looking like this.. Oh. Oh no. It's eyes widened at the realization. It hurt Ribs, stole from them, and now they're trapped here. The shadow lowered it's gaze and visibly deflated. That was terrible. Not good. Not good at all.
They picked up on this immediately. Neck craning itself downwards to get a closer look at the Shadowy being. Claws anxiously balling up into painful fists.
"I...Uhh..I'm...Sorry. I didn't mean to scare you." Ribs quickly stammered out. Lidless eyes darting away for a second as they struggled to figure out what to say next. "I jussst...Hss...D-don't want you to get hurt. That's all."
They dared not touch them. Instead backing up a few feet like a cautious animal to give Riza plenty of space.
"If It does come...And tries to hurt you. I'll...Hsss...I'll protect you!" They quickly added. "It can't make me any worse. It can't Hurt me any more that It already...Hsss...Hassss."
"..So I can try to keep It from you."
Riza looked up at Ribs. It looked sad. Not scared, but remorseful, sorry. That happened to Ribs? It felt horrible. Nobody deserves that.
"..."
It pulled out the journal again, writing on it and sliding it over to Ribs. He still looked.. pretty sad, but not as sad. The writing was slightly smudged, like tears fell onto the page.
Their head twisted as they looked over that Journal curiously. Long neck bobbing and swaying like some serpent as those focused eyes took in the writing.
"...O-oh! Oh..I...thhhh...Thhhank you!" They quickly blurted out. That intent gaze quickly turning back to Riza. Claws quickly adapting a pair of desperate looking thumbs up.
Before they extended their index-talons and dragged it along the front of their skull in an upward curve just above their jutting fangs, as if outlining a smiling expression.
"Thaat...Hsssk...Th-that really means a lot! You're very nice too. Terribly polite for a young..." They paused, Looking the other over. "...Whatever you are, Riza."
"And don't...Hssssk...Worry about that Creature. I'll keep you sSss-sss-safe!"
Their eyes glossed over the name. Oh, Yes. That person...Wait.
There was a moment as Ribs paused. Claws digging into the side of their skull as they briefly tried to put their thoughts together. The name, The name, They knew that name...
OH! right! Sam. That guy that lives next-door.
There was a slight exhale as the creature seemed to relax for a moment.
"Y-yes! Sssam. I've met him once or twice...Seeemsss like a...Hsssk..Nice enough person. Why do you...Hss...Asssk?"
