OOC PERMISSIONS
Threadjacking: Ask first, please
Backtagging: Go for it! I'll do my best to tag for as long as the other player wants to keep going. (If it's been more than a couple months without a tag, though, I might ask that we start a new thread instead.)
Thread dropping: If it's an important thread, I might ping to hash out a handwaved conclusion, but for the most part: it happens, we've all got lives, don't stress about it ❤️
Fourthwalling: No thanks
Unwanted Topics: Rape/noncon is a hard no; prefer a warning for in-depth discussions or depictions of self-harm/suicide

IC INFO AND PERMISSIONS
Appearance: In her primary human form, Nimona looks like a slightly stocky teenage girl with short, bright pink hair (shaved on the sides), multiple piercings in both ears, and canine teeth that're just a liiiiiittle too big. She usually wears a red tank top layered over a purple dress, with scale mail underneath, along with big leather boots and leather wrappings on her forearms.
Powers: Nimona's a shapeshifter: if she can see it, she can be it, including mimicking other people. All her forms are either bright pink or incorporate a streak of pink somewhere. She can also partially shapeshift by giving herself wings, sharper teeth, extra/stronger limbs, etc. Oh, yeah, and she can breathe fire :D?
Timeline: 90% of Nimona's history and characterization is drawn from the Netflix movie, with 10% of the graphic novel sprinkled in for flavor. She comes from right after flying into one of the cannons mounted on the Kingdom's wall, smashing it -- and the Director, and a chunk of the wall, and herself -- into smithereens.

Hugging: She'll be startled or deeply weirded out if she doesn't know you well, but go for it!
Kissing: Platonic kisses (like on the cheek or forehead) yes; she'll have the same reaction to it as being hugged. Anything else, no thanks.
Sex: No thank you
Violence: YES PLEASE, she is a little gremlin who would fight God if given a sixteenth of a chance
Injury: Totally cool, she's almost certainly had worse
Killing: Well, she's so hard to kill (at least in a way that permanently sticks) that she's over a thousand years old at this point, so in the words of Critical Role's Matt Mercer: you can certainly try!

WARNINGS
As mentioned earlier, Nimona is a gremlin child who's never met a societal boundary she didn't want to trample. She'll cheerfully lie to your character's face if she thinks it's funny, and her solution to 99% of things is gleeful violence. She'll grudgingly back off or back down if told to by the right person, though, so I swear not every interaction with her will end in a fight.

She also attempted suicide in the very recent past, but was stopped in time by Ballister Boldheart. This will probably not come up in casual conversation, but if the topic starts trending that way, I'll warn in advance.

If any of these things mean you want to opt out of interacting with Nimona, that's completely okay! Just leave a comment here letting me know (all comments are screened), and I'll make a DNI note to myself.
