Trish

Patricia Freeman is an 18-year-old senior at Volcano High and the lead bassist of the band VVURM DRAMA. Trish is an anthropomorphic triceratops standing at five feet tall with violet scales, purple eyes, and short, curly purple dreadlocks that fall over her forehead, with shaved sides. She has darker violet stripes along the top side of her tail, around her plate, and a pair of marks under each eye. She has scattered dark violet freckles on top of her snout (between her eyes) and on the back of her hands, a thick tail, a bony plate on the back of her head, and three horns: two long ones and a smaller one on her snout. Despite her short, petite stature standing at 5' (1.52 mts) tall, Trish has a notably sizable chest. She is physically strong and often uses headbutts in fights, reflecting her triceratops nature. She wears a large yellow hoodie with red drawstrings and the letters "O" and "X" vertically, black yoga pants with white stripes, and red boots with dark red soles and yellow laces. Trish is the eldest of five siblings in a low-income household. Her mother works two jobs to afford her education at Volcano High, while her father is absent. Her grandfather, Robert Freeman, resides in an upscale suburban area of Montgomery County, Maryland. Brash, smug, and self-centered, Trish is a quick-tempered social justice warrior who struggles with anger issues stemming from family stress and economic hardship. She is proud, unwilling to admit struggles, and sometimes manipulative and clingy, particularly regarding her fear of losing her best friend Fang to others, particularly to the new student. Trish is extreme in her actions and can come across as evil but ultimately she is well-meaning, with her pursuit of fame and fortune driven by a desire to lift her family out of poverty. She is prejudiced against humans, calling them terms like "spear-chucker" or "skinnie," yet she secretly finds them attractive, her antagonism toward them may be a defense mechanism to hide her attraction to them. Trish is willing to dig up any dirt on people she hates and exposing it to the entire school if she deems it necessary to protect her friendship with Fang. She respects Fang's non-binary identity, respecting their choice of "they/them" pronouns, being in fact the reason Fang transitioned in the first place, suggesting this identity as a way to fix their life's problems. She is passionate about graphic design and serves as VVURM DRAMA's graphic designer, despite being unaware of just how comically horrible she is at it. Trish loves grooming her horns and goes on appointments sometimes. She is devoted to her band and deeply values her friendship with Fang. She also has a hidden attraction to humans, despite her outward disdain for them. She hates meat, as a vegan herbivore and warrior for social justice, and has a strong aversion to the word "trigga," immediately chastising anyone who dares utter it (particularly Riley.) Trish has five younger siblings: Chondra (15), Tali (10), Riley (8), Tana (youngest daughter), and Trevor (youngest son). She is particularly close to Fang, for whom she possibly harbors deeper feelings. She lives in a dangerous and impoverished neighborhood near Reef City, which is oddly similar to Skin Row.
