## Biography

### Personality

Putricia is a quiet, sensitive ghoul who cares very deeply for everyone and everything around her. She loves plant and animal life, especially the kinds that aren't considered "cute," like leeches, slugs, and toads. She feels everything very deeply and loves the arts, but is debilitatingly shy, so she rarely shares her creations. Lonely and of a melancholic disposition, Putricia is not popular with her classmates, and is a bit of a recluse. She is very kind and empathetic, and always believes in second chances, even when she's been hurt, as she believes everyone deserves love. When you get her to open up, she can be a great shoulder to cry on, and her creativity knows no bounds.

Putricia's aware of what makes her unlikeable, and only hopes that life will be better after her graduation. Though she has little patience for those who are cruel to her, even in subtle ways, she never takes part in any kind of cruelty. Putricia believes that every form of life has value, and, more than that, every form of life deserves someone to be kind to it. She is smarter than most people realize and able to tell the difference between pity and sympathy, thank you very much. She always tries to be the bigger person (no pun intended) but shies from any form of conflict. Putricia simply wants peace, quiet, and someone to hold her hand.

### Appearance

Putricia comes in at about 6'6, heavyset and broad-shoulders with a wide frame. She has ridged green-gray skin covered in various brown and green vines, and is covered with a thin layer of muck. She has large dark eyes with yellow sclera and green and brown teeth that are on the sharper side. Her hair is made of spanish moss, which she uses to cover most of her face, leaving only one eye visible. She has two small scars on her chin, and several more on her upper arms and back.

### History

Putricia grew up with her parents in the Great Dismal Swamp in southeastern Virginia. She didn't have much contact with anyone other than her parents, the flora and fauna of the swamp, and her pet squonk, Galumph. She was homeschooled for most of her life and became very in tune with the swamp, communing with the living things in it on a soul-bonded level. She empathized heavily with them and became very upset when she realized the swamp was drying out due to pollution from stormwater runoff and efforts by local Normies to dredge it. In an act of desperation, Putricia left the swamp for the first time in her life to attempt to reason with the encroaching developers who were planning to drain and pave the swamp. However, they charged and attacked Putricia and her family, who sent her to Monster High for her own safety.

After transferring to New Salem, Putricia moved in with the Silver Lake Monster, a spinster from Boo York. She lives with Cathie-Lou Lovecraft, another transfer student.

## Abilities

* **Physical Endowments:** Putricia has enhanced height and strength due to her monster scareitage.
* **Aquatic Breathing:** She has the ability to breathe underwater for 4-7 hours.
* **Amphibian Adaptation:** Putricia has an adept swimming skill and can live both on land and in water.
* **Plant Communication & Mild Phytokinesis:** The ability to understand the plant life & wetlands around her and even occaisionally summon them during an emotional outburst all come easily to a Swamp Thing.

## Relationships

### Family

Putricia is an only child, the daughter of the Swamp Thing and the Swamp She-Thing, who love their daughter very much. They were very sad to send her away, but they'd do anything to protect her. She misses them dearly, and frequently is overcome by homesickness.

### Friends

Putricia's BFF is Herman Culus, who she met after an ill-fated fearleader squad tryout. Herman only showed up to be around other people and was promptly kicked out, but Putricia really wanted to make the squad. However, the Fearleaders complained about whether they could lift her up due to her weight, whether she'd drip on their uniforms, and whether she would fit in her own. These were purely superficial complaints due to the fact that other, wetter students were on the team and the superhuman strength between the monsters wouldn't make her weight an issue; they just wanted to make her feel bad. She left in tears, but was immediately comforted by Herman, who had been waiting outside, hoping someone would get kicked off the team and talk to him. They've been bosom buddies ever since.

Putricia is also close with Edgor Straussman, who she befriended after being paired with him on a project in Skullinary Arts. They both failed the project, but had fun, because they had met someone who they knew wouldn't judge them.

### Romance

Putricia is head-over-heels for her BFF Herman, but the feelings are sadly unrequited, as he is gay. Edgor, on the other hand, has a massive crush on Putricia, but she is yet to pick up on it due to her love for Herman.

### Enemies

Putricia has no real enemies, but she is not popular in school and frequently faces bullying due to her size, viscosity and smell. Cathie-Lou, her housemate and fellow transfer student, is one of Putricia's least favorite people. Putricia is well-aware of Cathie-Lou's disdain for her and sees very clearly through her nicities, but never takes any move to fight back. She doesn't think she'd win, and she doesn't like to make waves--but more than that, she doesn't want to stoop to that level. An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind (and everyone's pretty sure Putricia only has the one.)
