Lonky

Full Name: Lonky Species: anthropomorphic Giraffe Gender: Male Age:18 Tribe:Giraf Tribe Occupation: Prince / Running Man competitor Royal Rank: 49th in line to the Giraf Tribe throne Ability: Elasticity — he can stretch his neck and limbs to incredible lengths.

Appearance

Lonky is a tall, slender yellow giraffe 18 year old boy with no spots, dark-brown bob-cut hair, and matching brown eyes. He wears a white sweater-jacket with a red diagonal sash-like stripe, decorated with red-and-gold epaulettes. His outfit is completed by matching white trousers and knee-high brown boots, giving him a distinctly aristocratic, almost military-inspired appearance. The Giraf Tribe's clothing is notably inspired by formal British military uniforms.

Personality

Lonky is an incredibly prideful, cunning, and theatrical little prince. He loves reminding everyone that he's royalty and will absolutely use his status whenever he thinks it can get him an advantage.

He's clever and opportunistic, often forming alliances with people only to betray them later if he thinks it'll help him win. He's an excellent manipulator and has a talent for talking his way out of trouble—but his schemes have a tendency to backfire spectacularly.

Despite his selfish and somewhat cowardly nature, Lonky isn't genuinely heartless. Deep down, he cares quite a lot about his friends. As the series progresses, he gradually learns to trust his teammates, cooperate with them, and put their wellbeing ahead of his own ambitions. His pride never completely disappears, though, and he still has plenty of moments where his ego gets the better of him.

Tribe — Giraf Tribe

Lonky belongs to the Giraf Tribe, a royal tribe made up entirely of giraffes. Their society is heavily focused on status, rank, and succession to the throne. Members are known for being sophisticated, conceited, and skilled at persuasion.

The Giraf Tribe also possesses natural elasticity, allowing its members to stretch their bodies. They are taught fencing as part of their education, fitting their aristocratic and military-inspired culture.

Lonky is half British and half French, which honestly fits his aristocratic personality ridiculously well.

His British side comes from his formal, dignified upbringing. He has impeccable manners when he actually bothers to use them, a fondness for proper etiquette, and an instinctive tendency to act like he's above everyone else. His family's military-inspired clothing and royal culture also feel very fitting for this side of him.

His French side gives him a more dramatic and expressive streak. He can become surprisingly passionate when arguing, has a flair for theatrics, and occasionally slips into French when he's annoyed, embarrassed, or trying to sound sophisticated.

He'd probably insist that his accent is perfectly British when speaking English, only for someone to point out that certain words come out distinctly French.

And naturally, Lonky would be extremely proud of being half-and-half. He'd absolutely introduce himself with something like:

"What? You didn't know? I'm a prince, you fool. And I'm British AND French. Try to show some respect."

He would also absolutely use his heritage as another excuse to act fancy. Because if there's one thing Lonky loves almost as much as winning, it's making sure everyone knows that he's important.
