Avantgarde

Avantgarde is one of Butterflyunicorn's fursonas.
==Appearance==
Avantgarde is (presumably) a bat, albeit she is a very, very strange one.
Most of her fur is a consistent purplish black, aside from the ruff of fur around her neck and the fluffy tuft of fur. That fur constantly shifts color, but it's almost always some mix of neon colors that sticks out against her mostly dark colored fur. She has a patch of fur on her stomach that also changes colors, but can only turn dark, muted colors unlike the rest of her color changing fur.
Avantgarde doesn't actually have legs or feet. Instead, all there is is an incredibly long and fluffy tail that also changes color. Similarly, Avantgarde doesn't have arms or paws; however, her wings each end in three sharp claws that can, for some inexplicable reason be used as fingers. These claws, you guessed it, also change color.
Avantgarde has the ability to form patterns on her wings. While sometimes she prefers to keep her wings their default solid purplish black, she often forms patterns on them; usually these patterns consist of wavy stripes, lightning bolts, splatter patterns, or text. Even Avantgarde's nose changes color, and it appears to be heart-shaped.
Avantgarde's eyes are violet.
==Personality==
While someone may expect something more badass from a chick named "Avantgarde," Avantgarde is probably the exact opposite of badass.
Perhaps Avantgarde's defining character trait is her penchant for telling jokes. Regardless of the situation, she seems to always have some sort of joke, meme or snarky comment prepared. However, her constant joke making can bite her in the ass. Often times her snarky remarks can come off as rude, and there's always the chance the person she's talking to just doesn't get the joke and they end up confused.
Despite appearing outgoing with her constant jokes and the fact she enjoys making new friends, she's actually rather shy, believe it or not. She has trouble making new friends, as she has trouble trying to find a way to introduce herself that isn't "awkward." She is deathly afraid of leaving a bad impression on others and/or coming off as obnoxious, which is only made worse by the fact she tends to think people are angry at her when they're not. As a result of this she apologizes a lot, even when she shouldn't be apologizing.
(W.I.P.)
==Powers/Abilities==
For the most part, Avantgarde's pretty weak in a fight, though that doesn't mean she's devoid of powers.
===Flight===
As to be expected from a bat, Avantgarde can fly.
===Camouflage===
Her color changing fur can be used to camouflage just about anywhere. However, she's usually too much of a spaz to hold up a good camouflage for long.
===Night Vision===
Being a nocturnal creature that tends to nest in caves, Avantgarde can see in darkness as well as she can see in a well lit room.
===Prehensile Tail===
Avantgarde's tail is prehensile, meaning it can be used to grip onto things.
==Weaknesses/Flaws==
Just like any normal person (or in this case, bat), Avantgarde has several flaws and weaknesses.
===Weaknesses===
*Avantgarde tends to procrastinate at things she doesn't want to do, which can often lead to problem.
*Avantgarde has very, very poor handstrength (clawstrength?), to the point she has trouble opening candy wrappers.
*Avantgarde can become angry at people for little to no reason.
*Avantgarde can be very easily embarrassed, to the point that even mentioning something regrettable that she did can cause her to freak out.
*Avantgarde often says things without thinking.
==Trivia==
*Avantgarde was named after avant-garde music. This was partially because avant-garde music fits with Avantgarde's chaotic color scheme and surreal powers, and partially because Butterflyunicorn recently got into the genre.
*Do to her strange qualities, like the fact she doesn't have legs, her prehensile tail, and color changing fur, it is sometimes theorized that Avantgarde is not actually a bat. Avantgarde denies these rumors.
*Avantgarde was originally to be a straight up rainbow bat instead of a color changing bat that is usually rainbowy. However, this was changed for ease of drawing.
