Oc today: Sydney
Sydney is a mosasaurus who lives at the PaleoVisions® PaleoWorld™ PaleoLagoon™ (sequel to my previous dinosaurs post). She is the flagship attraction for the PaleoLagoon™, and she's almost done her public training. She can do all sorts of tricks, including breaching and various rolls and twists.
Staff are a little hesitant to open the PaleoLagoonâ„¢ to the public given a little hiccup in the creature creation. The higher ups specifically asked for a male mosasaurus based on their top analysts' observations. But a couple weeks into her accelerated growth, their star went up to the crew and let them know that maybe if it was okay she could possibly want to be a girl mosasaurus. Her staff (without checking in with their bosses) let her transition, even hitting a professional voice trainer to help her process.
While the board of directors was initially upset, they were then convinced that this could be good publicity. A couple social media interviews later, they introduced Sydney to mostly positive reactions. Sydney isn't aware of transphobia but she's clearly picked up on her care team's anxiety and is worried she's going to mess up.
She isn't the only inhabitant of the PaleoLagoonâ„¢. The other major attraction is the trio of elasmosaurus. Pablo, Chelsea, and Nerissa put on aquatic displays for guests as well as private meet and greets for birthdays and such. They've made friends quickly with Sydney, and are very supportive of her transition.
