Character: Kanako Ohno
Series: Genshiken
Character Age: 18-19
Canon: Lock up your bearded and bald-headed cool guys, ladies and gentleman, Kanako Ohno is in town! A soft-spoken, big-breasted cosplay wonder, Ohno was the first female to voluntarily join the Genshiken (a college club for video game/manga/anime/etc fans aka otaku). With hobbies including cosplay, coercing others to cosplay, and older cool-guy type characters with scars, she's just your average female otaku. For the most part, Ohno is a polite, well-mannered and gentle girl, who sometimes leans a little on the shy side. However, whenever the subject of cosplay comes up, she can become very vocal, extremely competitive, and passionate. Ohno loves cosplay, why don't YOU? Her current "projects" include one Saki Kasukabe and one Chika Ogiue. Whether they want to or not, she will show them the light! And it will be good.
NOTE: In Genshiken, the titles of popular anime/manga/games are canonically changed slightly. An example would be "Slam Dunk" being referred to as "Scram Dunk".
Sample Post: I....I think Saki-san went a little too far this time. It's not like I did anything wrong, besides, she was fast asleep! All I did was put a pair of glasses on her from an old cosplay of mine. Next time I'll have to make sure to turn off the flash when I take the picture... I don't see what she got so upset about! With her sleeping expression and those glasses, she looked so moe. How could I resist?
Really though, sending me here was a little extreme I think. A 12-step program camp for cosplay addicts? There's nothing wrong with cosplay! It's an art form as well as a means of self-expression all rolled into one! What more could you want? I'm glad I brought my camera though. Looking around at all these other cosplayers...they're really good. Hmm, perhaps too good. However, I don't understand what kind of stage the director of this camp is trying to set with all these zombies and gorillas running around. How are we supposed to get into character with all this moaning and groaning and grunting and- well, on second thought, I guess the hentai cosplayers will appreciate it.
So many amazing likenesses. It's almost like I'm actually surrounded by my favorite characters! I'm glad I wore my costume here, I'd feel out of place if I were in street clothes when everyone else is in-....huh? That girl over there is cosplayed as Reika from Rantz too....Is her chest bigger than mine? N-no way! W-Well, her costume maybe spot on, but her portrayal is totally off!!!! Reika wouldn't run from a zombie horde like that! Not to mention her "Iyaaa!" is much too forced! When will people learn not to cosplay characters that they can't portray and make it seem natural?!
I'll show her how it's done. Hey! Zombie-san over there! Yes, you with the gaping face wound! Good work on the makeup job, by the way. You'll have to teach me the trick to mixing that perfect gangrene tone face paint later. I'm going to need your help with this performance. If you don't mind, could you come at me like you're going to bad touch me? Make it believable too, I've got to show that pretender how a REAL cosplayer does-
......Aa..I'd recognize the glare off that head anywhere! Excuse me, Zombie-san, I've got to go ask that Ikkaku cosplayer for his photograph while he's still got that perfect scowl going! It's always going? Even when he's out of costume? Now that's dedication!

Character: Hanato Kobato
Series: Kobato
Character Age: Unknown! Appears to be around 15-16 years old or so.
Canon: Sick of the eye swapping emo wangst fests of today's CLAMP? Yearn for simpler days when it was about a girl and her talking stuffed animal side-kick? Then never fear for Kobato is here! CLAMP's newest title stars Kobato as a strange and rather mysterious girl whose job it is to heal the emotional wounds in people's hearts. How does she do that? Weeell, Kobato really doesn't know the answer to that one either.
Kobato isn't really all that great at the whole acting like a normal person thing and a lot of her basic knowledge of even simple situations seems to have been taken from what she learned by watching TV. Needless to say Kobato really isn't the brightest crayon in the pack but she does try. And then fails. And tries again. And fails worse. But then does slightly better next time! And then fails really badly again. Oh, Kobato. At least Ioryogi-san (a blue stuffed dog) is there to tell when she's messed up and fire her (literally). Despite all this klutzy and clueless Kobato's sweet and perky demeanor never falters for long.
Sample Post:
OKAY!! I can do this! I need to get out there! Meet the people! Heal the wounds in their hearts! Ioryogi-san has trusted me to do this without his guidance and I just can't let him down now even though it's just a little scary to be out here in this swamp all by myself and I lost a shoe back there and it feels kinda like I'm being watched… W-wait am I saying? That's just silly! What would Ioryogi-san do if he saw me all jumbled and jittery like this? Knowing Ioryogi-san I think the answer might be very very painful and very very scary so in the spirit of not losing hope I should concentrate on the issue at hand, I-I think. Because, most importantly, I can't forget my true purpose here; to learn the art of a true human vacation!
Hey! Um, um! American-san! Yes, thank you so much! You see I would be so grateful to you if you could help me out by just answering a few questions? I was wondering if you could explain what it is to have a hum-American! An average American vacation! I mean, I'm a little confused. 'Cuz, gosh, Americans sure are different, aren't they? I mean I expected something a little-but it doesn't matter. People are still people and all people have hearts, right? Right! So no matter how holey, oozing, o-or diseased that heart may appear to be… honestly, sir, I think your case may be a little beyond my abilities. I'm very terribly sorry! Y-you see it really is a sort of metaphor. . .
Heart… heart… how to show I know how to act in this sorta setting with a lot of heart… Oooh, oooh! I know!! There was this really touching part-and-and I think the color of my bathing suit may be off but look! I'm in slow-motion! I'm coooooommmminnng toooo saaaaaave yoooooooo-aslkjglwqa;s!! Owie. M-my dose. Istd judt fiiiine, readdee!
D-Darn. I really expected that one to work, too! It never ended up like that in the show… I guess you've gotta leave it up to the professionals, huh, American-san? But next time I'll get it this vacation thing right FOR SURE! Hanato Kobato won't give up even when she's set against a daunting task!
But…y'know, American-san, there's this nagging feeling I have. Like the sound someone somewhere yelling "0 points!" from the deepest depths of their soul. …is this what they call "conscience"?

Character: Cooro
Series: +Anima
Age: 11
Canon: Fly like a bird, run like a horse, float like a butterfly, sting like a bee. +Anima are the people who have been gifted with the ability to do just these things; they have each taken on the physical abilities and appearances of one specific animal. While they're not very different from regular humans, +Anima are the scorn of their world's society. But when life's got you down, the only thing to do is jump back up and keep going. That's what Cooro believes.
The poster boy for naivety and one of four children traveling together in search of a place where they belong, Cooro is a sweet little crow +Anima with a never-ending appetite for food and adventure. He goes along with whatever sounds appealing to him and with his attention span being equal to that of a crow's, flitting between whatever new and shiny thing that comes his way is a common occurrence. Though his innocence and agreeableness have landed him in several sticky situations, his genuine interest and insight in other people make him a much more mature person than people initially think.
Sample Post:
Wooow, this is where you live? It's amazing! You can see everything from up here; it's the perfect place for a high-up hangout. I have a question though. Is all the underwear hanging out there supposed to keep us hidden? Like camouflage? I don't think it's doing a very good job if that's the case. I mean, some of it is really... small. And thin. There's even holes right in the middle of some of them, see? ... Oh, they're peepholes? Well, that makes more sense then.
I can't wait to take a better look around this area. When you asked me to be a part of your group, I didn't think it'd be this much fun! I've never flown in a flock with other birds before, and I've definitely never tried spelling out words in the sky. Some of the people down below looked angry though; a few people started throwing things at me. Did they not like what we were spelling out? What were we spelling out anyway?
... Huh? Look over where- Oh! There're people down there! They're waving at us; they look really nice! They sound like they're hungry though and now that they mention it, I'm getting a little hungry too. Is there something to eat up here? They keep saying "ohm nom nom chicken" while pointing up here and chicken sounds really good right now. Mmm, covered in gravy and--... we're the chicken? But I'm a crow +Anima and you're all toucans. I don't think we'd taste like chicken, but then I've never tried eating crows or toucans before. Hmmm, maybe we taste better!
H-hey! Where are you guys going? I wouldn't eat anyone of you, I promise! We're part of the same group now, and you never eat your group mates. There wouldn't be a group anymore if everyone ate everyone else, so there's no point to it. I'm sorry for scaring everyone though; I'll make it up to you by being the best Ceiling Bird I can be! How did it go again, uhm... oh, right!
No person will go unwatched! No ceiling will be without eyes! "Birds of a feather watch together" is our motto and we'll show those cats how it's done!

Character: Husky
Series: +Anima
Character Age: 10
Canon: In the fantasy world of +Anima, there are some who have acquired the ability to assume the characteristics of a particular animal, such as growing cat's claws and becoming more agile. These people are called +Anima, and they are shunned by society because of these powers that make them different and "less than human." Kind of like the X-Men, only most +Anima don't want to wear spandex or save the world; they just want to be left alone. The series follows the adventures of four such children as they try to find others like them.
Husky is one of the four, and can transform his torso and lower body into those of a fish. Mistaking him for a mermaid, though, or implying that he's anything less than manly will result in lots of angry flailing and yelling because calling Husky short-tempered is like saying water is wet. He can also be described as blunt, pessimistic, and stubborn. He hates girls as much as he loves expensive jewelry, and there isn't much he wouldn't do for money, including crossdressing as a "mermaid princess" in a circus.
All yelling, insults, and hitting with his staff aside, Husky does care genuinely about his friends. And deep down, he is a good person...as long as you mind his temper.
Sample Entry:
Hey, you! Get back here and say that to my face, you coward! If you don't, I'll show you which one of us is the real "chicken of the sea"! Seriously, where's your sense of pride; what kind of man can't even stand up to a kid? Even if my staff is bigger than yours, that's no reason to just run away! And I only hit you once to get your attention, so you can stop saying "harder, sir" at me. It's really annoying.
Besides, who are you calling a fishy freak, with your bulging eyes? And I'm definitely not the one who tried to greet the other person by sprinkling salt and pepper on them. Are you trying to imply that I smell bad?! You're the one with no hygiene at all; I bet a whole layer of skin would come off if you even looked at clean water! You're almost as bad as the stupid girl I met in the lake earlier. She said she could give me what I wanted most for my voice. Like I'd be dumb enough to accept a deal like that, even if she hadn't insulted me! I'm not loud, and I'm definitely not going to trust an idiotic, touchy-feely girl!
What are you doing now? ...look, whatever you have to say, just say it. Don't say it so close to my face, though, because your breath smells horrible. I didn't mean what I said earlier so literally, and I think my nose is going to fall off. Also, I'd say this better be good, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I suppose I'll have to settle for "passable."
...you want me to sit on a rock in the middle of nowhere, wearing nothing but tacky jewelry while I sing a ridiculous song about wanting to be part of your gross world for someone else's entertainment? There's no way I'm going to agree to something like that-
You'll pay me?
...fine. But I'm not wearing the seashells, got it?

Character: Kujo Jotaro
Series: JoJo's
Bizarre Adventure
Character Age: 17
Canon: Kujo Jotaro is a man destined to be a badass. As
the main character of part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, he's genetically
predisposed to be tall, muscular, and able to perform some of the weirdest
poses outside of Vogue. Every girl at his high school wants to jump the
bone; every guy get slapped down by it.
During the course of the story, Jotaro and company lay the smackdown to no
less 30 equally ugly looking enemies, all while spouting off phrases like
"yare yare daze" and "ORA ORA," and all while never changing out of his
school uniform.
But when you're as unsociable as Jotaro, no one's going to tell you to
change that pink wool shirt you're wearing. No one.

hellhole. This way to... Camp... Fuck You Die? I couldn't have said it

Character: Dokuro Chrome
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Character Age: 14-15
Canon: Reborn! is about a boy, a hitman, and the hijinks in between Mafia 101 and surviving everyday life. Throw in some wild antics and a good dose of crazy and now you've got yourself a party. Our main boy, Tsuna, didn't ask to become a mafia boss, it was, like many other events, forcefully preordained. As was his classmates becoming his famiglia (aka: group of badasses), hitmen being his cool roomies (read: they attempt to kill because they love), and otherwise being thrown into situations he would not like to be in (fighting a guy who's been condemned by the mafia law? Sweet.)
Chrome just happens to share a body with the aforementioned; the pineapple hair-do should explain. Formally known as Nagi, Chrome was involved in an accident that left her sans a right eye and a good amount of essential organs. At the time of the event it seemed there was no single shining ray of hope, but, there was. And his name was Mukuro. In exchange for inhabiting her body, Mukuro provided the organs needed for her to survive, and, thus Chrome was reborn! Along with that, she has the ability to switch between bodies. (A two for one!) Chrome is a quiet girl, never quite being social before her accident, but is attempting to communicate with others.
Sample Post:
I suppose I didn't see the last of those tentacles back then, because they have returned, and with a vengeance. And this time I didn't have Mukuro with me where'd he go?, just a pack and boots. (Remember: Boots and water do not mix) I managed to save what was left from my pack from being sunken treasure at the bottom of the lake.
If the tentacles weren't enough, there were dismembered...parts floating around. Murder? Homicide? = Mafia It reminded me of the movie we had to watch for educational purposes: not entirely legal. (Never question the middle school system, you learn.) My eye patch got snagged on branch and broke, so now I'm stuck tying it and retying it every five seconds. It doesn't make typing any easier or enjoyable.
The zombies weren't an entire change of pace, the missing pieces made up to the whole. A hand here, and a leg there, and some fingers along the way. However, I think I might have damaged the laptop by using it as a shield and then as a weapon, and then... as a seat. (The skirt has it's pros and cons.)
Now I'm starting to wish I didn't lose the shotgun. Or at least, I had Mukuro with me. It gets lonely inside your head.

Character: Nana Alba
Series: +Anima
Character Age: 10
Canon: +Anima is about a group of friends traveling a fantasy world to find others like themselves. +Anima also refers to people who have the abilities and can sprout the physical traits of a particular animal. The main characters are exactly just that. Shunned by the general population because of their powers, these kids are always on the move and hope to meet other +Anima. Nana is one of these kids. In her +Anima form, she can fly using bat wings, has supersensitive hearing and can use ultrasonic waves to knock people out.
Ignoring her resemblance to bats, Nana’s almost like your average ten-year old girl. She’s cheerful, eager to help and enjoys feeling pretty and dressing up. She can sew, clean and to some extent, cook. However, unlike most little girls, she can also be in your base, stealing your possessions. As "Phantom Thief Nana-chan", she uses her +Anima powers to take whatever she wants. Even after making new friends and traveling with them, she hasn’t quite kicked the mischievous habit and she still has a fondness for shiny things. The difference is that she doesn’t try to steal all the time now. But overall, she’s a sweet girl. Really.
Sample Post:
I am the shadow that lurks in the night! I am the one that strike fear into the hearts of men! I...am...Phantom Thief Nana-chan~ ♥
Hehehe! What do you think? Pretty good, right? I liked your suggestions but I wanted to add that last part to show off. It's cuter that way, don’t you think? Now that I’ve practiced my lines in case we run into somebody, we’re almost ready to go!
I'm so glad to have met you. Ehehe. And I’m sorry for err...overreacting. Good thing your ears were in your pockets when I screamed. If I had knocked you out, you wouldn't have been able to guide me out of that scary cave! It’s just that I've never met a real zombie before. All the stories say they're really scary, but you're so nice! Plus, those stories never mentioned zombies offering little girls and young ladies tea and delicious cookies. ♥ I hope I sewed you back together correctly. Your arm wouldn’t stop twitching while I was trying to fix it. And I tried not to be too loud when I reattached your ears.
Oh and speaking of which, we'll leave for our adventure after I finish sewing your hat. See? I used pink cloth and white laces so it'll match with your dress. Isn't it cute? I even added sparkles to make it shiny. I was so surprised hear that you're actually a man and not a woman. I don't know that many boys who could pull it off so well~ I hope you're not upset by those birds. I don't know what they were talking about but it was obvious they were trying to insult you. All you have to do is just go see a doctor about your skin and then you’ll really show those mean birds who's a 'trap'!
Ah! I’m done! Here’s your hat! Now let’s go get that treasure you talked about! I took a look at the map you found but it’s hard to see with all those weird green stains. It smells funny too. I think we’ll be okay though. Look! It says we need to take fifty paces from here and make a left turn at Albuquerque. That’s easy enough. So let’s go! To adventure! To riches! To Candy Mountain, Mr. Charlie!

They keep saying "ohm nom nom chicken" while pointing up here and chicken sounds really good right now. Mmm, covered in gravy and--... we're the chicken? But I'm a crow +Anima and you're all toucans. I don't think we'd taste like chicken, but then I've never tried eating crows or toucans before. Hmmm, maybe we taste better!
H-hey! Where are you guys going? I wouldn't eat anyone of you, I promise! We're part of the same group now, and you never eat your group mates. There wouldn't be a group anymore if everyone ate everyone else, so there's no point to it. I'm sorry for scaring everyone though; I'll make it up to you by being the best Ceiling Bird I can be! How did it go again, uhm... oh, right!
No person will go unwatched! No ceiling will be without eyes! "Birds of a feather watch together" is our motto and we'll show those cats how it's done!

Character: Husky
Series: +Anima
Character Age: 10
Canon: In the fantasy world of +Anima, there are some who have acquired the ability to assume the characteristics of a particular animal, such as growing cat's claws and becoming more agile. These people are called +Anima, and they are shunned by society because of these powers that make them different and "less than human." Kind of like the X-Men, only most +Anima don't want to wear spandex or save the world; they just want to be left alone. The series follows the adventures of four such children as they try to find others like them.
Husky is one of the four, and can transform his torso and lower body into those of a fish. Mistaking him for a mermaid, though, or implying that he's anything less than manly will result in lots of angry flailing and yelling because calling Husky short-tempered is like saying water is wet. He can also be described as blunt, pessimistic, and stubborn. He hates girls as much as he loves expensive jewelry, and there isn't much he wouldn't do for money, including crossdressing as a "mermaid princess" in a circus.
All yelling, insults, and hitting with his staff aside, Husky does care genuinely about his friends. And deep down, he is a good person...as long as you mind his temper.
Sample Entry:
Hey, you! Get back here and say that to my face, you coward! If you don't, I'll show you which one of us is the real "chicken of the sea"! Seriously, where's your sense of pride; what kind of man can't even stand up to a kid? Even if my staff is bigger than yours, that's no reason to just run away! And I only hit you once to get your attention, so you can stop saying "harder, sir" at me. It's really annoying.
Besides, who are you calling a fishy freak, with your bulging eyes? And I'm definitely not the one who tried to greet the other person by sprinkling salt and pepper on them. Are you trying to imply that I smell bad?! You're the one with no hygiene at all; I bet a whole layer of skin would come off if you even looked at clean water! You're almost as bad as the stupid girl I met in the lake earlier. She said she could give me what I wanted most for my voice. Like I'd be dumb enough to accept a deal like that, even if she hadn't insulted me! I'm not loud, and I'm definitely not going to trust an idiotic, touchy-feely girl!
What are you doing now? ...look, whatever you have to say, just say it. Don't say it so close to my face, though, because your breath smells horrible. I didn't mean what I said earlier so literally, and I think my nose is going to fall off. Also, I'd say this better be good, but I'm not getting my hopes up. I suppose I'll have to settle for "passable."
...you want me to sit on a rock in the middle of nowhere, wearing nothing but tacky jewelry while I sing a ridiculous song about wanting to be part of your gross world for someone else's entertainment? There's no way I'm going to agree to something like that-
You'll pay me?
...fine. But I'm not wearing the seashells, got it?

Character: Kujo Jotaro
Series: JoJo's
Bizarre Adventure
Character Age: 17
Canon: Kujo Jotaro is a man destined to be a badass. As
the main character of part 3 of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, he's genetically
predisposed to be tall, muscular, and able to perform some of the weirdest
poses outside of Vogue. Every girl at his high school wants to jump the
bone; every guy get slapped down by it.
During the course of the story, Jotaro and company lay the smackdown to no
less 30 equally ugly looking enemies, all while spouting off phrases like
"yare yare daze" and "ORA ORA," and all while never changing out of his
school uniform.
But when you're as unsociable as Jotaro, no one's going to tell you to
change that pink wool shirt you're wearing. No one.

be? Knuckle sandwich? Foot in your toothless yap? How 'bout I just serve

for anyone. Not even you. No, you don't need to know if it's big. The

I don't have time to waste dealing with a bunch of moaning, meat-hungry
girl ... zombies ... zombie girls ... I've found my way out of this
hellhole. This way to... Camp... Fuck You Die? I couldn't have said it
better myself.
Hey, you over there - do you have a pho--? Oh,
shit. OI OI! Hands off! Give me back my hat! Scratch that. I'm not
going in some syphilitic guy's pants for it. And hands off my shirt, woman

What a pain ... in the ass! And no - that wasn't an invitation!

Character: Dokuro Chrome
Series: Katekyo Hitman Reborn!
Character Age: 14-15
Canon: Reborn! is about a boy, a hitman, and the hijinks in between Mafia 101 and surviving everyday life. Throw in some wild antics and a good dose of crazy and now you've got yourself a party. Our main boy, Tsuna, didn't ask to become a mafia boss, it was, like many other events, forcefully preordained. As was his classmates becoming his famiglia (aka: group of badasses), hitmen being his cool roomies (read: they attempt to kill because they love), and otherwise being thrown into situations he would not like to be in (fighting a guy who's been condemned by the mafia law? Sweet.)
Chrome just happens to share a body with the aforementioned; the pineapple hair-do should explain. Formally known as Nagi, Chrome was involved in an accident that left her sans a right eye and a good amount of essential organs. At the time of the event it seemed there was no single shining ray of hope, but, there was. And his name was Mukuro. In exchange for inhabiting her body, Mukuro provided the organs needed for her to survive, and, thus Chrome was reborn! Along with that, she has the ability to switch between bodies. (A two for one!) Chrome is a quiet girl, never quite being social before her accident, but is attempting to communicate with others.
Sample Post:
I suppose I didn't see the last of those tentacles back then, because they have returned, and with a vengeance. And this time I didn't have Mukuro with me where'd he go?, just a pack and boots. (Remember: Boots and water do not mix) I managed to save what was left from my pack from being sunken treasure at the bottom of the lake.
If the tentacles weren't enough, there were dismembered...parts floating around. Murder? Homicide? = Mafia It reminded me of the movie we had to watch for educational purposes: not entirely legal. (Never question the middle school system, you learn.) My eye patch got snagged on branch and broke, so now I'm stuck tying it and retying it every five seconds. It doesn't make typing any easier or enjoyable.
The zombies weren't an entire change of pace, the missing pieces made up to the whole. A hand here, and a leg there, and some fingers along the way. However, I think I might have damaged the laptop by using it as a shield and then as a weapon, and then... as a seat. (The skirt has it's pros and cons.)
Now I'm starting to wish I didn't lose the shotgun. Or at least, I had Mukuro with me. It gets lonely inside your head.

Character: Nana Alba
Series: +Anima
Character Age: 10
Canon: +Anima is about a group of friends traveling a fantasy world to find others like themselves. +Anima also refers to people who have the abilities and can sprout the physical traits of a particular animal. The main characters are exactly just that. Shunned by the general population because of their powers, these kids are always on the move and hope to meet other +Anima. Nana is one of these kids. In her +Anima form, she can fly using bat wings, has supersensitive hearing and can use ultrasonic waves to knock people out.
Ignoring her resemblance to bats, Nana’s almost like your average ten-year old girl. She’s cheerful, eager to help and enjoys feeling pretty and dressing up. She can sew, clean and to some extent, cook. However, unlike most little girls, she can also be in your base, stealing your possessions. As "Phantom Thief Nana-chan", she uses her +Anima powers to take whatever she wants. Even after making new friends and traveling with them, she hasn’t quite kicked the mischievous habit and she still has a fondness for shiny things. The difference is that she doesn’t try to steal all the time now. But overall, she’s a sweet girl. Really.
Sample Post:
I am the shadow that lurks in the night! I am the one that strike fear into the hearts of men! I...am...Phantom Thief Nana-chan~ ♥
Hehehe! What do you think? Pretty good, right? I liked your suggestions but I wanted to add that last part to show off. It's cuter that way, don’t you think? Now that I’ve practiced my lines in case we run into somebody, we’re almost ready to go!
I'm so glad to have met you. Ehehe. And I’m sorry for err...overreacting. Good thing your ears were in your pockets when I screamed. If I had knocked you out, you wouldn't have been able to guide me out of that scary cave! It’s just that I've never met a real zombie before. All the stories say they're really scary, but you're so nice! Plus, those stories never mentioned zombies offering little girls and young ladies tea and delicious cookies. ♥ I hope I sewed you back together correctly. Your arm wouldn’t stop twitching while I was trying to fix it. And I tried not to be too loud when I reattached your ears.
Oh and speaking of which, we'll leave for our adventure after I finish sewing your hat. See? I used pink cloth and white laces so it'll match with your dress. Isn't it cute? I even added sparkles to make it shiny. I was so surprised hear that you're actually a man and not a woman. I don't know that many boys who could pull it off so well~ I hope you're not upset by those birds. I don't know what they were talking about but it was obvious they were trying to insult you. All you have to do is just go see a doctor about your skin and then you’ll really show those mean birds who's a 'trap'!
Ah! I’m done! Here’s your hat! Now let’s go get that treasure you talked about! I took a look at the map you found but it’s hard to see with all those weird green stains. It smells funny too. I think we’ll be okay though. Look! It says we need to take fifty paces from here and make a left turn at Albuquerque. That’s easy enough. So let’s go! To adventure! To riches! To Candy Mountain, Mr. Charlie!
