Pink

April DeCoi is a lagomorphic citizen of the American city of Dystopolis on the planet Earth. She is currently dating Jake Burnett, and in Axiworld's Future Canon the two are married with two children: Jamie and Jackie. April is notorious for her immense appetite and tendency to rope Jake into her many binge-eating escapades, though she insists that at least one of those escapades was Jake's idea.

April is known as a highly competitive person who is happy to turn just about any event into a contest, particularly if that event involves eating. Though she hates to lose, April loves social overeating, and admits her own desire to see others stuff themselves.

## Appearance

April is a brown-furred lagomorph whose defining features are her unusual pink eyes and straw-blonde ear fur, which she began growing out in her teens as a stylistic choice. She was slim prior to dating Jake, but her rampant feeder fetish and personal love of food resulted in her quickly gaining weight, which has only grown since that time, and skyrockets in the future.

Thanks to America's lenient laws on fur and clothing, sufficiently furred people such as April are permitted to go about 'in the buff,' and April frequently abuses this right, though she will wear clothing such as dresses on special occasions.

April possesses keen hearing and large feet that make her a natural runner, although she runs less and less as she ages. Her buck teeth are large, but not as large as those of most lagomorphs, and many people claim not to notice them.

## Biography

April was born to an upper-middle class family in the heart of Dystopolis. She proved herself to be a natural charmer as a child, and earned the affection of friends, family, and educators alike. It was only in her teen years that others began to realize that her behavior was in fact somewhat manipulative and borderline narcissistic, with April almost always failing to take responsibility for her own mistakes. After some turbulent teenage years, April was accepted into Dystopolis University on a non-human scholarship, but declined the scholarship to the chagrin of her parents, claiming that it was discriminatory against local humans. April cites this experience as influenced by a genuine connection she had with a close human friend during high school, and admits that it was an early attempt to think beyond herself, as her friend had come from an impoverished family and would not be pursuing post-secondary education.

April pursued a Business degree while at Dystopolis U, and was an avid party-goer. Her enthusiasm for excess introduced her to close friends Tess Turner and by extension Axi Pufwog, and the three have remained close. She also met her future husband Jake at this time and coaxed him into a brief fling following a Business Faculty social event. The two fell out of touch following this incident, with April's hedonism apparently discouraging the timid Jake.

In her second year of University, April moved out with her friend Espy, who would remain a close friend to April even during her least sympathetic years. During this time, April felt a strong sense of isolation and frustration at her own selfish behaviours, and eventually suffered a series of mental breakdowns in her third year. This development prompted her to seek counselling, a decision which she attributes partly to the advice of the then psychology major Espy. She finished her degree with little fanfare and continued counselling while working odd jobs at local bakeries and catering companies.

At the age of 23, April reconnected with her University contact Jake and the two began dating soon after. The couple became engaged a year later. Though April's intense extroversion continued and has since continued to contrast heavily with Jake's quiet demeanor, love apparently has found a way with the couple, and they have been relatively happy and stable since they started dating.

The fact that the two remained together is especially impressive given that April did not wait long before exposing her boyfriend to her intense feeding fetish. Aside from her own overeating, April took delight in feeding Jake, a passion which Jake initially resisted and subsequently tolerated in restrained doses. Eventually though, the habit caught up with both Jake and April, leading to visible weight gain in both. April admits in hindsight that she pushed her boyfriend rather unfairly toward the feedee lifestyle, but Jake did nevertheless relent, and the couple entered a period of unchecked hedonism, which continues well into the future. Having gained a startling amount of weight since their marriage, the couple are more conscious about their weight in the future, despite both weighing much more than ever. With their most active years behind them, both agree that they need to plan for a healthier future, though April has been finding this task difficult due to her own deep-seated tendency to self-pamper.

Jake and April marry and have children not long after their engagement, and 18 years later, Jamie and Jackie are now students at Dystopolis U. Jake has continued to work during this time, though April has spent years on and off as a stay-at-home mom, before eventually founding a catering company that has seen moderate success in the Dystopolis area.

## Notable Appearances

* Jake and April have had several comics dedicated to them and their children, though due to the characters being Pokemon based at the time, some of these comics are now considered non-canon and are in need of redoing with the Burnetts' new appearances in mind.
* Jake and April are frequent subjects of art-related events hosted by Axlwisp. These events began with JnA Day on September 8th 2014, and have included JnAuary, which as the name suggests took place in January of 2016. These events tend to correspond with redesigns or major weight changes on the parts of the Burnetts, with JnA Day establishing the 120 lb gain that now differentiates future from present Jake, and JnAuary resulting in a 190 lb gain for April.
* April appears as the innkeeper in the non-canon fangame ***Axugaem1***, and enlists the help of her husband Jake to keep the inn's beds in good shape.

## Trivia

* Though April was initially a fan character based on the Pokemon Lopunny, she has since been reworked to be an ordinary rabbit anthro.
