TAP-DANCING RAT | Remington Ratta

Name:

Remington "Remy" Ratta (prefers to be called Remington)

Hair:

Brown, slightly matted fur. A small tuft on his head is often slicked down with bacon grease.

Eyes:

Small, beady, and black, but they gleam with ambition.

Features:

Portly and rotund, with a prominent gut that wobbles when he dances. His tail is long and pink, and he's quite proud of it.

Personality:

A hopeless romantic and a dreamer. Incredibly passionate about dance, but easily frightened by loud noises, sudden movements, and anything that resembles a cat or an exterminator. He's friendly but cautious, with a flair for the dramatic.

Clothing:

A stained, red-and-white checkered bowtie, a tiny brown vest that strains at the buttons, and miniature spats over his hind paws. His tap shoes are crudely fashioned from leather scraps with bottle caps nailed to the soles.

Backstory:

Born in the walls of a Broadway theater, Remington grew up listening to the percussive rhythms of the dancers above. He taught himself to dance by mimicking the sounds, and now dreams of seeing his own name in lights. He currently makes his living (or tries to) by performing for scraps in back alleys.

Notes:

He has an almost crippling fear of cats, brooms, and men in uniforms, which can often override his passion for performance.
