Description

Why another character? Because I like digging holes and throwing myself in :dummy:


:iconcirquedevile:

Name: Zeboim [zi-boh-im]

Age: 30 something and counting

Gender: Female

Performance act: Sideshow Freak- The Sea Witch (sometimes billed as the Merwoman)

Personality: Equal parts vindictive and melancholic, Zeboim is given to moody fits that would make her difficult to live with if she could actually leave her tank without flopping about like a landed goldfish. It is also well documented that she bites, and has drawn blood on more than one occasion.

Her diet currently consists of feeder fish that are released live into her tank every few days. This lack of variety is often the cause behind her temper flaring, especially if she is overfed and must then share her space with her less than welcome lunch.

On the whole she has made peace with her fellow freaks and tolerates them well enough. Familiarity, though it may not breed friendship, can do wonders when stuck in a tent with the same faces month after month. Still, she takes it as her right to be snippy and inhospitable to newer freaks until they have grown on her like barnacles.

History: Zeboim first came under the wings of the big top near on twenty years ago when she was hauled in for inspection in a large ceramic preserving jar. When it was confirmed that her lower body was truly a ribbon-like tail much like those found on oarfish and not legs stuffed in a suit money changed hands and Zeboim was poured out into a slightly less humbling tank. Much smaller then, she was assumed to be a child and was dressed accordingly in an overly done 'Little Mermaid' costume.

Over the years she changed hands many times as circuses disbanded, assimilated into others, or just plain couldn't take her holier-than-thou attitude any longer. She's far to jaded to think her stay at the Cirque Devile will be any less fleeting.

Other:
- Her first Master of Freaks named her for a fictional sea goddess.
- She secretly enjoys the sensuality of touching objects as that is her best sense and she will often have things in her hands; her hair, necklace, anything she can lay paw to.
- She's a bit of a siren when she's in the mood to cooperate and can produce a hauntingly compelling warble, but don't hold your breath for it, when is she ever cooperative?
- But she will scream your ears off with that set of vocals if you're special enough to incur her wrath.
- The circus brand is hidden beneath her cowrie shell necklace.

Ohhhh, how do you always find these neat groups and create such neat characters for it that make me wanna create characters myself. 8D
I really adore her colours and that creepy kinda look and how her body is fading into the water, makes me wonder if it's fish-like or snake-like.
