Lunara

Lunara is an 18 year old anthropomorphic bambiraptor, or a ‘saurian.’ She is around 5’8” with a lean feminine build and covered in small, smooth white scales. She has a smallish bosom but curvy hips and rear. She has a long, muscular tail with fluffy lavender feathers sprouting from the end of it. Similar feathers line her elbows and forearms. She has a large beak with dozens of large sharp teeth, several of which can be seen protruding from her lips. She has striking yellow eyes surrounded by black scales reminiscent of a raccoon. She has thin lavender stripes that run down the bridge of her beak. Similar stripes also run down her back. She also has long, straight jet black hair with blunt cut bangs. As a bambiraptor she is a carnivore and mainly eats meat. She can eat small amounts of vegetables and other foods still, but large amounts of plant based foods can make her ill. She also has sharp black nails on her fingers and toes.

She typically wears a light blue sundress with a frilled skirt that goes just above her knees, simple black flats for shoes, and a white chrysanthemum hair pin. Underneath she usually wears black lingerie underwear. She typically also smells like coconuts from her shampoo and body wash.

Lunara is a senior at St Hammond academy. Her elective is fashion design, one of her dreams being to design dresses and clothing for both humans and saurians. She has a fascination with humans especially, having researched much about the history of human and saurian relations and the mingling of their cultures in the past. She runs a cultural arts club, where every Thursday after school they look at and learn about antique artwork, sculptures, and clothing, while also learning from their styles.

Overall Lunara is a very bubbly and outgoing girl, despite the fact that she is often bullied by other saurians for her achromatic scales, especially the black ones around her eyes which has lead to the nick names ‘Bandit’ and ‘Raccoon.’ She loves all things related to fashion and history, being able to name popular brands of clothing at first glance and important historical events off the top of her head. In her free time she likes to draw, go on walks outdoors, and exercise.

However, due to being bullied for most of her school years she isn’t opposed to taking part in bullying, especially towards people she doesn’t like. Her main friend group consists of Mia and Kiara. Mia is the student council president’s girlfriend, and uses this relative position of power to get away with bullying others without consequence. She is a red scaled parasaur with platinum blonde hair, a red leather jacket, blue jeans, and brown leather boots. Lunara often joins in, either for personal enjoyment or to stay on their good sides. She doesn’t want to be seen as a bad person though, and rarely initiates the bullying beyond gossip.

Due to being a saurian she is cold blooded, and as such has very poor tolerance to the cold. When temperatures drop below 70°F she’ll bundle up in poofy jackets and thick pants typically meant for the snow. She also loves to snuggle, craving the warmth from others. When she’s very happy and comfortable she’ll let out a sort of rumble from her throat, similar to an alligator bellowing or a cat purring.

She also has a part time job at a fast food place called Taco Shell that she works at on the weekends. She hates it and she never wants anyone at school finding out that she works there, but she sticks with it to save up cash for college and clothing. Her work outfit consists of a brown work polo tucked into black slacks, along with a baseball cap with a taco shell on the front, and black nonslip shoes. Her manager is a brown scaled Amargosaurus named Maggie. She’s a fat burnout in her 30s. She has shoulder length dark purple hair and green spikes that run down the back of her long neck all the way down to her tail.

Her family comes from Manu Ahi, this world’s version of Hawaii. It’s just off the coast of Dinofornia. Her mom speaks with a slight accent and occasionally uses vocabulary from the Hawaiian language, such as calling Lunara ‘ku’u aloha, or ‘kaikamahine,’ which mean ‘my love’ and ‘daughter’ respectively. Lunara herself doesn’t use the vocabulary as often and isn’t very in touch with her culture since she moved to Dinofornia when she was just a kid. This has partly lead her to be so fascinated in cultural studies.

However, the one thing she takes pride in is the Manu Ahi flower tradition: wearing her flower pin on the right side of her head, which signifies that she’s single. If she gets into a relationship, she’ll switch it to the left side of her head.
