character's name: Seigfried or Siggy
species: Nidoran
age: Just turned 5 a couple weeks ago
sex: Male
description: A small, but average sized Nidoran. He's often found to be a dusty purple, due to much horsing around and getting dirty, but a much brighter sheen of purple hide reveals itself after a quick bathing and he's spotted with random small, darker splotches of purple with a more prominent spot just behind his forehead's horn. His eyes are somewhat of a red with his skin setting them off to appear to have a shade of purple mixed in. His toxic forehead-horn is just above average in size, but his ears are about half an inch shorter than normal. Along his back are a series of spines, most of which are short from much rolling around and playing, yet they still can provide a potent defense if necessary.
personality: Seigfried is almost an exact mirror of his father's best friend, a young charizard named Sergei. He's playful and energetic as any child is and quite unlike his father, he's quite mobile and is a swift runner. Often when his back is turned, he can be rather jumpy to sounds coming from behind him, moreso if it sounds bigger than him. Berries are among his favorite foods, along with generic fruits like apples and bananas. The only vegetable in his favor is garlic, a trait that seems to run in the family. Fighting isn't at the top of his to-do list, but a child's scuffle happens on occasion, in which he takes some enjoyment. He's trained himself to be able to hold back the toxins in his back spines, but his front horn still injects poison if it pokes anyone. Fortunately its not dangerous unless they're repeatedly stabbed with it.
history: His mother and father both are a Nidoqueen and Nidoking respectively. Seigfreid has...somewhat left them, they still watch him from afar. His father Vincent introduced him early on to his best friend Sergei, of who Seigfried has a frequent tendency to call his Uncle. Sergei was his friend too for a long time, especially he'd go to him when he needed someone to talk to. As a result, Seigfried became very much like Sergei, but of course he's still a child and not everything is emulated. His father tought him some of how to defend himself, particularly how to use Dig to escape trouble, teaching him how to tunnel and collapse said tunnels to prevent pursuers. Fortunately, no such occurence has occured. As for his mother, she contributed knowledge of foraging various fruits, but he still has occasional trouble remembering which berries to NOT eat.
