Hi, I'm Adalgisa!
Name:
I couldn't tell if she was based on a cat or a fish, so I decided that the name Koisiko would do nicely because it's fishy but could also be cat related. (That description made no sense, I'm sorry. Let's just say the name is pretty c: )
Gender:
Female! ( As required, but I see her as female anyways)
Something that makes her special:
Fish have always fascinated Koisiko, ever since she was small. Her grandmother kept a small fish pond in the center of her garden that Koisiko would spend hours gazing into. Learning each fish's habits and likes. She would catch bugs and bring them to her fish friends to enjoy while she sat on the slippery stone bank and ate jelly sandwiches. She never named any of her grandmother's fish, but simply referred to them by the color of their scales or special attributes, such as "Blue Fin" and "Whisker Face". She felt that the fish must have names of their own, but just like they can't understand her speech, she can't understand theirs, so she didn't want to give them names when they already had them.
As she grew older she never lost her connection with her Grandmother's fish but she found that she had less time to travel there with school. She found that she was spending more and more time at her desk in her room, and less time outside with her fish friends. She didn't have any other friends, and no one else that she knew loved fish like she did. They were all interested in other things, exciting things, because "Who wants to spend all of their time looking at stupid fish?" But she didn't think they were stupid. They knew where to find the best food, and fight for themselves and their families, and they were nice, quiet friends. At school she was always picked last for teams and lab partners and always ate alone. She was picked on because of her whiskers on multiple occasions. She found herself wishing that she could live with the fish and never have to go to school again.
This was the same day that she rescued her first fish. She was walking along the edge of the neighborhood pond when she saw something flailing around in the bushes by the bank. Quickly, she knelt down and parted the grass to discover a fish. It wasn't very pretty. It was a Bullhead with brown splotches all over it and large, orb- like eyes. Half of it's tail was missing and the half stump was bloody and raw. Not knowing how to help it Koisiko gently wrapped her paws around it and lifted it into the shallows. The fish continued to trash in pain, but became slightly calmer upon contact with the water. With a start she realized that it wouldn't be able to swim until it was healed and if she left it it would probably die. Still holding it afloat with one hand, Koisiko untied her raincoat with the other and made it into a makeshift basket and filled it with water so that the fish could breathe. She brought the fish that she called "Dirt Back" home and nurtured him back to health. He couldn't swim in open water again so Koisiko created an aquarium for him to live in her room. Having him made life enjoyable.
