Winston

"They will all fall to my claws, you just wait and see."

## Description

Winston is a Mantiscald owned by Rokughor (Mollusk). Competitive and foul tempered, he picks fights often and forms grudges easily.

## Personality

Winston tends to get angry very easily. He has a Napoleon Complex, and takes insults about his stature very poorly. This insecurity stems from the fact that he is one the smaller end in terms of doodles, and is in fact the smallest among his peers.

Winston takes his anger out through violence. Though he (usually) holds back on his teammates, he frequently gets into fights with other random doodles. Not all these fights go in his favor, but he never seems to learn.

Winston refuses to back down, even when the odds are stacked against him. While this can be viewed as an admirable trait, this also often leads to him only stirring more conflict for himself and others. In fact, this attitude leads to Winston frequently developing grudges, which last for extremely long periods of time.

Though he can be overly belligerent, Winston is still protective and supportive of his allies. He will get into fights for them and support their goals as much as he can.

## Appearance

Winston's body is mostly a blue color, which gradually shifts to a darker gradient towards its end. His eyes are green. His face is adorned with feelers, as well as various tendril-like growths. He has a red-orange crest on the top of his head.

Winston has six red legs. His body ends in a petal-like structure which is orange with blue spots. His arms are blue, with an orange carapace on his shoulders. His claws, while mostly orange, have a blue circular pattern on them.

Winston, as is the average for his species, is only 8 inches tall.

## History

Winston began his early days as a Sizzlrimp living at the shore of the beach in Social Park. At first, he was afraid of the surface and spent most of his time entirely underwater. However, his curiosity began to slowly overtake him and he started making small trips to the beach.

He continued to do this, and every subsequent visit became longer than the last. With time he completely shed his previous worries and began to grow accustomed to the park.

Previously reclusive and shy, Winston started making conversation with the doodles of trainers who passed through Social Park. Those that would humor the little shrimp told him stories of battle, stories of glory and triumph, stories of adventure. Winston listened to them with great intrigue and was utterly entranced by what they described.

Winston began to dream of these things himself. Winston began to desire a trainer of his own. He no longer wanted to hear about battle; he wanted to be a part of it. And so, he decided to leave his home for good in pursuit of his dreams.

One day, Winston positioned himself below the water and waited for a trainer to cast their line. When one inevitably did, he took the bait without a second thought. He was quickly captured by Rokughor. Winston was happy, knowing he had succeeded.

Shortly after his evolution, Winston was to participate in a proper battle for the first time, against Rokughor's fellow trainer Human1Just. Excited to finally act upon his dream, he went into battle with high hopes. He faced his opponent, Montor, with great confidence. He was sure he would win.

But then....

Montor outsped him.

Winston went down instantly. And when he awoke, after the battle was over....

Humiliation. His first battle, his first chance at greatness....all gone. His hopes went up in smoke.

But Winston was not sad for long. Instead, a new emotion brewed in him: vengeance.

From that point on, Winston's new dream was to get revenge on Montor. And he would not back down until this new dream of his was fulfilled.

# Montor

Winston completely over blows his relationship with Montor, turning it into a one sided rivalry. He hopes to defeat Montor for humiliating him, and tries his hardest to get revenge.

Montor tries to ease things over with Winston, offering him apologies and small gifts, but Winston denies all attempts at reconciliation in favor of vengeance.

# Valerie

Like most others, Winston likes Valerie. He enjoys her presence, and speaks to her often. While they have some discrepancies over his behavior, they are mostly good friends.

As much as he lieks her, Winston thinks Valerie has a poor taste in men. Valerie tries to convince Winston to give up his hatred of Montor, but Winston does not budge.

## Notes

* Like other Mantiscald, Winston is not allowed near mirrors. Or Jaelects. The last time he was in contact with one was not pretty.
* If Winston ever had kids, he would want them to be stronger than him.
* Winston still visits Social Park from time to time to reminisce on his childhood.
