Nevada

From her hometown of Calypso Island this Jewelry Maker loves seaglass and hates hurricane season. Nevada loves her carefree life on Calypso Island with her younger sister, Utah. Her bubbly personality brings a smile to everyone she meets. Nevada organizes the farmers market and craft show every Thursday during tourist season. There, she happily sells her handmade jewelry using items found along the sandy beach. Every morning at sunrise, Nevada combs the beach to see what goodies the tide has brought in. Her eyes are yellow and snake-like which, coupled with her long limbs and face make her quite distinctive and thus well known around the island. It's become a sort of ongoing bit that's grown into her character prompting her to fully embrace the "snake-lady" persona. She's been known to hiss at times and there are rumours that she's even medically altered her tongue to be longer and perhaps even had it forked. Nevada has blonde hair, with some parts braided and clipped to the side of her head with a turquoise hair clip and two brown feathers hanging onto it. She has freckles below her eyes. Nevada wears a teal shirt with white outlines, a yellow lace tied across her waist, a brown skirt, and black shoes with white shades, brown soles, and yellow laces. She also wears a brown and yellow beaded necklace and brown-rimmed sunglasses over her yellow eyes.
