the You Miss 100% of the Shots You Don't Take Female Zinnia
CP: 1
Description:
It is readily apparent to anyone familiar with the hummgriff species that this girl is not your typical winged mousebird. Where most hummgriffs--Zinnia, in particular--are small and just this side of plump, but still able to bear themselves aloft, this hummgriff is... definitely lean. In fact, she's downright muscular--buff, even, and it's likely a strange look on a small creature, but she bears it with pride. This Zinnia has never skipped leg, arm, or anything day, and the fact that she can fly so deftly on her delicate hummgriff wings is a defiance in the face of physics, logic, and reason--but when somebird is striving to be the ultimate master of sports, they have to break down the barriers and give reason a long, steely look with their beady black eyes as one does what they wanted to do anyway. This Zinnia's colour palette conforms to her species' standard, even if her pattern is... a touch unusual. Her extremities--head, legs, and tail are all a robust shade of royal purple that fades into a pale, pretty pink lavender shade over most of her torso and rump. Her wings also gradient in the same way--royal purple along the attached appendage, fading into pink lavender and near-white as one goes down the feathers to the tips. Oddly enough, more than one person has commented that this Zinnia's color pattern almost makes her look like she's wearing a tanktop--or more befitting of her, a sports jersey.
The sports jersey observation is apt because it seems to be this Zinnia's desire in life to prove that hummgriffs can be world-class athletes too. She's a risk-taker and a mould-breaker, always looking for the next activity that she can try, completely dominate, and leave behind with only her name in the record-books and hushed, bemused whispers of her prowess in her wake. She's always doing something, whether that something is inventing a new sport-game that she can master or training for her next big competition, this girl is an endless font of energy--and hopefully, her bondmate will be able to keep up. Zinnia are generally known to be mothers, and this girl is no exception--only, instead of being the type of mother that would bake cookies and watch you dotingly from the porch while holding a pitcher of just-made lemonade, she's the type of mother to sign you up for five different sports teams, three of which she's probably coaching. Also, you're going hiking with her this weekend. Here's an apple, some trail mix, and a ten pound weight to strap to your legs for conditioning--it's going to be a busy life with her around, but at least it'll never be boring.
