Copper the Gargoyle

is an original character designed by Frostbite_Carno. Copper the Gargoyle resides in the Jonah's Ark universe. An AU of Noah's Ark, where Noah has a twin brother who goes on to save the creatures no one else wants to, and that would be the fantasy creatures and mythical beasts you find in lore and fairytales, including Mermaids, Trolls, Sirens, dragons, unicorns and many more.
Copper is the leader of a trio of gargoyles who like causing mischiefCopper's Backstory is currently unknownCopper is a humanoid gargoyle with a pear shaped body/figure. She has short, thick legs and feet that are heavily muscled and possesses sharp claws, and also has tarsal scutes starting at her shins and running down to her feet and toes. She has cow-like ears and two small but sharp cow-like horns popping out of her head. Her face and the front of her body is covered in small little smooth scales, while the top of her head, her back, her upper arms and the outer areas of her thighs are covered in large, protective, overlapping, plate-like scales very similar to that of a pangolins. these large scales are also arranged on her chest in a way that resemble a bandeau. She also has two small wings on her back as well. She has big eyes with slitted pupils, and she has protruding scales on the sides of her eyes that look like eyelashes. She has a lion-like nose, and she possesses whisker follicles despite not actually having whiskers, and her tongue is shaped like a common holly leaf. And lastly she has two little fangs that poke out her mouth when it is closed, and she has a long armadillo-like tail.
Her scales have a metallic sheen and are reddish brown in color, with the front of her body like her face, tummy, and inner thighs being a slightly darker shade. Her scleras are mint green and her irises are the same color as the rest of her body. Copper is very tough and competitive. She can be kind but tries not to show her soft side too often. Copper is smart, but is sometimes overpowered by her own temper. Of the Gargoyle trio, Copper is the most cunning, and even-tempered when in tough situations. and is far more focused than her friends. She is somewhat sassy and snarky, and can have a dark sense of humor. while she does enjoy messing with Coal and Nelman a little, she tends to have her gang's best interest first, and Coal and Nelman are always quick to follow her lead. While she does find others pain funny, finding it hilarious that Nelman lost a fight and got his ass handed to him by a swamp siren, however if her friends were ever in real genuine life-threatening danger, the protective side of her violent nature kicks in. She is a pretty alright leader but there are times when even she doesn't know what she's doing, she is still a very young adult after all.
*Living Statue: Copper can lock her joints into place in any given pose, giving her the ability to stand completely motionless
*Camouflage: Copper can change the color of her skin to blend in.
*Climbing & Leaping: Copper is extremely agile, and an expert climber, able to climb effortlessly and with great speed, along with being able to leap great distances, but she only really utilizes this if super necessary, as she is very lazy. 
*Digging: Copper's claws are very useful for digging, she could tunnel through any surface, be it earth or ice, even rocks and stone! 
* Spinball: She can roll up completely into a ball, while the sharp scales on her back can be used to lash out and attack enemies or objects. she can also use this to travel around quickly, simply curl up into a ball and start rolling. Though her spin-dashing can sometimes lead her to not see what she is heading towards.
*Gliding: She has two small webbed wings on her back that are incapable of flight, but she can use then to glide around. If she flaps them fast enough she can actually hover for about 30 seconds to a minute, maybe 2 to 3 minutes if she puts every fiber of her being into doing so.
*Electrokinesis: Copper's scales are buzzing with electricity, and are fantastic electrical conductors. She can trigger an electromagnetic pulse that can be used against enemies but surely has other uses as well. And Copper herself has a strong electrical current running through her. Copper's electricity is orangish yellow in color. During storms Her electrical capabilities are amplified, giving her even more power. 
*Ocular illumination: Copper has the ability to project light from her eyes when in dimly lit areas.
*Darkvision: Copper can see in the dark
*unnamed parents and siblings: Family (Deceased)
*Coal & Nelman: Her team, and all the family she's got.
*None so far
* Copper was created on May 17th 2022
* I always like to imagine if my OCs had voice actors/actresses, who they would be, and for Copper it would be April Winchell.
* This is Copper's theme https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xvYKfo73QJ4
*Copper snorts quite a bit when she laughs, which Nelman thinks is adorable, to which she'll say "SHUT UP, NELMAN"
*Copper's design was partly inspired by pangolins, which are probably the coolest animal you've never heard of. Here's a cool video about them https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QY1qqZiaTU8&t=141s
I noticed there was no weaknesses thingy in the template and the rules say we can't add new ones so I'm just gonna do it in trivia
* Weaknesses:
* Water: Copper's greatest weakness is her inability to float, let alone swim, in water due to her molecular structure being much denser than the average human or animal. This causes her to instantly sink like a stone. This natural weakness to water is further amplified by her electricity conduction, running the risk of her accidently electrocuting herself.
* Aquaphobia: Copper has an instinctive aquaphobia, and is naturally terrified by bodies of water, especially the ocean, but she tries to down play it to seem badass, but deep down she is still terrified of it like all other gargoyles.
