#pipolla

I had the time to actually polish it, but didn’t have the patience aha

Pipolla is a total romance sap. For as much as she can't be touched or can't handle relationships, she reads a lot of books on romance! Her favourite stories tend to be about women working through problems together, like a zombie apocalypse, a glass ceiling, or creating a homestead! She also takes Valentine's off, so she can date herself. Date includes bath, food, and music.

Pipolla's feathers stand on end when anxious, furious, or upset, if her face doesn't show it beforehand. Sort of like a feline, her feathers will raise to get all prickly along the back of her head and neck as well as along her wing-bones. Other ways to tell are broken office objects, fidgety hands, and shouting!

Pipolla is very adverse to anyone touching her. Even if it's to demonstrate something, to shake her hand (in any business-goings-on that she didn't start), or a quick hug she reacts negatively. In doing so, she's touch-starved and just makes her more sensitive to the point of thinking people have touched her when they haven't.

Pipolla seems like a mean lady and a difficult boss, but she acts very much like an older sibling (even problematically labeling people as 'hers') and defends those she works with if affronted by someone on the outside (especially her competitors!). She's quite defensive of Ru'kiori since he's young and inexperienced.

Pipolla has broken her leg once, while trying to fly. Her wings aren't exactly made for quick take-offs, steep banking, or anything much than gliding from a raised surface. Her mother warned her, but free jumping off of a cliff on Terror Mountain resulted in a bad fall. Thankfully her friends were there, and they took her to a nearby hospital for tourists and mountain climbers.

Pipolla isn't a big fan of swimming. She likes being at the beach or even wading in the surf, but she doesn't like getting mostly or fully submerged. Perhaps it was because she didn't get the chance to swim much as a child, or because she hates when her feathers get wet, or even because she just might be afraid of what might lurk beneath...

Pipolla, for how little muscle she appears to have, is quite strong. She's not very fast, but she could arm wrestle a Skeith (I didn't say she'd win, but she could compete!). She's used this to get away from predators, and has also cut down violent employees with her strength.
