Although they are most commonly known for snacking tender sweet fruits, Jingles are omnivores and are quite capable of digesting meat. These creatures are known for their hostility and or fear of species outside of their own, and unless raised otherwise, typically don't interact with other animals. Although they are not known to hoard, Jingles have an unexplained attraction to shiny objects. (Such as bells, coins, gems, etc.)

Name
Gabrielle
Personality
Gabrielle is a Jingle who's rather quiet first. Around other Jingle's that are new to her she is pretty shy. Although she has a soft and gently demeanure around new others she won't talk too much. Usually leaving the chatting to her brother, basically just hiding behind him until he gives her the ok or basically shoves her infront of him to talk. Despite how nervous and tongue tied she can be around people she doesn't know too well she's the sunshinest type of Jingle (normally) around her brother. She trusts him with just about everything she does, whether she's talking to his friends, playing around, or just for advice. She's usually an open book around him, having no secrets to him while with others. She's almost like a locked chest, and only with the right key can you unlock her.
In a rushing crowd she's the kind of girl to just hang back a little. To take her time, she never was one to to rush into things. Adjusting and going at her own pace, almost like running a marathon. She's paces herself so she isn't too overwhelmed, but even with her efforts she sometimes does get caught in every others every day life. When she does it makes her feel smaller then she really is. Sometimes shrinking away from their problems, but sometimes just lending an ear. She finds that others that have even heard of her come to her and just talk away. Because she doesn't normally talk around strangers or new aquantences she makes a prime listener.
Although she may seem like quietest, shyest, gentle type or girl once you do get to know her she opens up quite a bit. Becoming a soft natured fun loving girl to her closest friends. She never calls someone her best friend, as that spot is already and will always be taken by her brother. She's rather playful actually, almost in a child like manner. Rather loving piggy back rides, somewhat of a habit to ask for one. Warm yet still slightly shy when you've gained her as a friend. Even though one part of her was unlocked, her childish nature she will still be slightly why around you. The only Jingle she truly is herself around is her twin brother, to be completely honest.
Gabrielle has a rather soft voice, not so much that she seems like an airhead girl, but it's almost melodic in a sense. Her laugh is almost like the jingle of bells, which sounds more like a giggle at times.
Being the girl she is, she isn't the easiest person to meet. Some people find it rather annoying she's so shy, and will only speak up when her brother encourages her. Quite a few haven't given her the chance to actually open up, which is why she is rather sensative. She doesn't take jokes lightly, especially if they're about her. Finding them rather offensive, why would you be mean or put her down on something if you didn't mean it? That's her logic when it comes to harsh jokes or teasing. Her brother knows how to tease her, so she doesn't become too self sonscious, which he is trying to fix. Since she doesn't talk much, some were rude enough to call her a mute or so stupid she can't understand what they're saying. Not that being mute is bad, but she was never given the chance to protest. Which is one reason why she is sometimes scared to talk.
But if you give Gabrielle a chance, she is a fun loving but shy girl. This is why she has so few friends right now, she is sill trying to find or is rather being found by the right 'keys' in a sense.

The Story of her Scarf
Since she was little, or rather young you could say; she's always been slightly smaller then others her age. It has always worried her parents, that Rex had turned out so much more 'normal' then her. Just because she was the obvious smaller of the two, not exactly the 'runt', just...smaller. Growing up, she had always stuck to Rex's side. Despite when he could tell her she was being to clingy, that she should go make some new friends. Simply shaking her head after flinching, just the simple silent movements were enough that Rex knew to shut up.
As time went on, Gabrielle had taken notice in the head band Rex had always worn. Rex had become popular amoung others looking for trade. Among their own species or others, which others seemed to frightened to even communicate with. But not her brother, Rex put himself out there. She used to believe and still does, that Rex wears that bandana around his head as a symbol. As if speaking to those willing to negotiate, that he was the one to talk to. The one who's different, who's not afraid, who's bold enough to speak up. Make his deals, and that was it. Sometimes finding his many bandanas he was trying out scattered. Borrowing a bandana just about every day from Rex.
But that's where it was different. Gabrielle didn't wear the bandana around her head, instead using it as a scarf to hold her beloved bell. That was the symbol she used, trying to imitate her brother. To be different, but unique in a sense. Although she didn't often talk, tending to be rather shy, her brother patiently waited for her to talk. He didn't push her, just waited. After a while, he did start to notice bandanas of his going missing. Somehow missing the fact his sister for petes sake has been wearing them without him even noticing.
So when he finally settled on his orange bandana as his main colour he went to trade. Taking most of the coloured banded he no longer cared for and a few trinkets he had bargained with before. He didn't mind trading those trinkets, a rusty old nail and a bent silver dime. They never seemed to have much market in his trades. So he hoped to find someone of interest to gain what he prompted for. Going to a customer he trusted, as of now anyway. He bargained, it took him forever. Half the day just to settle the stupid trade. But Rex wanted to do this, to hopefully help Gabrielle out.
When he finally came home he found Gabrielle sitting alone in her secret little underwater cavern. He was just about, no, he was the only one that knew she was here. Gabrielle never told anyone of this place but him. She trusts him with this secret, any other secrets really. He took pride in that, that he had that solid relationship with his twin sister so many other siblings lacked. From bickering about a silly thing like an accidental nudge to who gets to keep something. He didn't kind sharing with Gabrielle, and in return she didn't mind sharing with him.
"Gabrielle?" Rex murmured, stepping into the cavern and over to his sister. Gently nuzzling her shoulder as he took a seat beside her. The girl so concentrated on the marvel of the underwater scene displayed before her.
"I've gotten you a present." her brother had murmured next to her, nudging a messily wrapped package to her. She couldn't help but giggle the quietest bit at the mess.
"Close your eyes." was what came next, obideantly doing so. The bandana she currently wore and her bell slipped off her neck. Feeling empty without the prized bell adorned around her neck she paniced the slightest bit.
"Rex??" she whimpered quietly, hoping he hadn't run off. Soon enough she felt something wrapped around her neck once more.
"Shh...it's okay. You can open your eyes now." he whispered softly in her ear, a joyous look on Rex's face. Watching with excitement as Gabrielle's eye fluttered open. Lighting up as she saw her reflection. A white and orange striped bandana-scarf now graced her neck to hold onto her bell. It was...perfect. Somehow Rex had managed to find something that held one of her favorite colours.
Gabrielle squealed happily, nuzzling comfortably into the new found coziness around her neck. Hearing the soft clear jingle of her bell bounce off the cavern walls as she did so. Her gaze softening as she nestled into her brother.
"Thank you..." she murmured lovingly.
"You're welcome mi pequeño tesoro." he whispered.
"Mi pequeño tesoro? What does that mean?" she asked quietly, her words fumbling slightly with the new praise.
"It means my little treasure in a language known as Spanish. You're one of my prized treasures, Gabrielle." he murmured. Lightly nuzzling her ear for a moment.
"Never forget that. I traded three bandanas to learn that phrase you know." he laughed teasing her. Gabrielle smiled softly, snuggling into the warmth of her brother. Closing her eyes as she fell asleep curled into his body. Rex smiled warmly down at his twin sister, peering at her flank. Even if Gabrielle had never taken notice, he always did. A small heart shaped lighter brown oatch of fur.
"Sleep well, I'll keep you safe mi pequeño tesoro." he whispered before resting his chin gently on her shoulder before falling asleep himself. Gabrielle has and will always treasure her bandana-scarf. And never let's anyone else call her mi pequeño tesoro. Keeping that new found nickname reserved forever by her brother.
