(Them's Fightin' Herds) Arizona the Cow

Appearance:Arizona is a small cow with a brown-cream coat, emerald green eyes, grey-ish horns and cloven hooves. She has darker brown gradients on her tail and hair. The snout and inner side of the ears are peach pink. She wears a burgundy bandanna around her neck, and has a lasso in her possession.

Personality:Arizona, even being such a young cow as herself, has a big heart: she loves her homeland, and believes that everyone else in Foenum also deserves a free life. She's courageous, ready to help anyone in need and stand her ground to save the whole world. Although Arizona's enthusiasm and being too honest can lead her into trouble. She's not a cow of words but rather action: without thinking, she's ready to dive head-full into the events. Arizona also tends to show more of her cocky side, throwing some snarky comments towards her opponents.

Story: Book of Lore - When the call for the champion went out, the Cattlekind organised a ballot, where in the morning of the next day a name would be picked from. It was announced that Arizona was the selected winner, only for Texas to reject the results out of fear for her safety. It was only after Arizona beat him in combat that Texas would have allowed her to leave.

Abilities and Fighting Style:Arizona is a rushdown fighter whose move set is focused on strong but short-ranged attacks. She compensates for her lack of range by using her lasso, as well as being one of the few characters whose forward dash turns in to a run. Arizona can also do a short hop by quickly tapping the analog stick up. Arizona has two special attacks: Stomp, in which she smashes her hooves into the ground to generate an earthquake, and Headbuck, when she violently charges into her opponent. Both of these attacks can be changed into combos.

Arizona's Magic Meter is 3 Stocks and initially empty, but can fill up by successfully landing her lasso. The lasso is a command grab move which can be used in 3 different directions (air, mid, and low) and connects at the end of the rope. Arizona can spend Magic, to use EX versions of her special move. The EX Stomp covers the whole screen and is unblockable. The EX of Headbuck has armor, is quicker and has increased damage output, along with sticking the opponent to the wall if used near the corner. She also can use a new Magic dash and a counterattack.

Arizona's Level 1 super move, Trample, is a fast and powerful headbutt that can hit from across the entire screen. The damage output depends on how close she is to the opponent. It can also be used as a counterattack. Arizona's level 2 super move, Rebound, turns Trample into a two-hit move. The second hit launches the opponent, leaving them open for follow-up attacks.

Arizona is good for starting players, as her playstyle is simplistic, intuitive, and forgiving for even those who resort to button-mashing. She has an easy yet powerful basic combo: Start with the usual light-medium-heavy into stomp, headbuck, lasso, rinse and repeat.

Clothes:A brown, button-up jacket with pockets on the chest. A red bandana tied around the neck. Blue jeans. A belt with a large, golden buckle. A brown cowboy hat. Bandages or wraps on the forearms.
