Dixie

**Dixie** is a tough, battle-axe wielding old lady. She has experienced everything there is in life to experience, and it has kept her strong and powerful. She is loving and kind to a fault, but will do anything for her family.

It is a common theory that Dixie is immortal. She has never died, therefore it cannot be confirmed that she **can** die.

## Appearance

Dixie is a medium-haired bobtail. She has beautiful cinnamon fur with darker marks and a white underbelly. She has stunning emerald eyes, and was known both in her youth and presently for being gorgeous. She is just below average height for a feline, and has a large muscle mass. She is very strong and keeps up with her exercise and fighting practice. Her skin is unmarked from scars. Dixie has a few outfits she cycles through during her time on the ship. She usually sports a black, patched jacket with a black spiked collar. She also occasionally wears a pink shawl with a matching bow, or a green dress for more classy events. She has only two piercings- one for each ear- and wears gold hoops. She is often seen with her eyeglasses. She carries a duel sided battle axe for her weapon.

## Personality

Dixie is very sweet, often referring to crewmates by terms of endearment rather than their names, such as Sweetheart, Dearie, Honey, Sugar, etc. She has a comforting, genuine presence and loves the people close to her very much. She offers comfort to anyone she thinks deserves it, which is almost everyone. When someone messes with the crew though, she can turn. She follows the philosophy of "do no harm, beg no pardon, and take no crap." When she or others are threatened, she will not hesitate to defend. She is not afraid of committing acts of violence, but will never take a life.
