{{Appearance}}

Build: Negative's build is thick and large.
Appearance: Negative's appearance is similar, yet different than the average manatee's. Sure, she has the thick, gray body and the large, flat tail. However, her body is dotted and lined with multiple scars and multiple notches in her tail. Her left front flipper is cut in half, thanks to the humans, leaving a small nub. Negative's face is smushed in at the chin but her snout is long and roundish. Coarse whiskers spring out from her maw, letting her see and smell things around her better. The most distinct feature about Negative is her eyes. Most manatees have dull, gray or blue eyes, but hers are something special. Negative's eyes are a bright green, the color of unripe seaweed, and a little gray around the pupil. Overall, Negative is a healthy manatee, even though she is crippled.
Scars: Negative has multiple slashes along her back, tail and flippers. She also has tiny notches in her tail.

Fears: Negative's main fear is getting attacked by enemies, since she can't get away quick enough and she can't fight.
Overall Personality: Negative is a bright and bubbly manatee that does not like to fight a lot. She is a very responsable mammal and hates it when others argue. However, when irritated or angry, sometimes she might snap and she might scream and stir up some water, but nothing too harmful. Although she makes mistakes occasionally, they might consider her to be smart. She trusts everybody that doesn't seem like a threat to her. Behind the bubbly mask, pain and anger lie beneath her. Negative had a rough upbringing and lost almost everyone dear to her. She's very secretive about this, however, and only tells certain things to her closest friends, if she had any.

Negative is very loyal to her friends and does not give up easily. Negative will never give up on trying to heal someone, even if they are at death's doorstep. The manatee will do anything and everything to make sure everyone is happy and healthy, even if she is not. Although she hates violence, she is a heavy believer in justice. Nevertheless, Negative is a great friend and ally when times are hard. She is very headstrong and won't go down without her opinion being heard. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and stands up for what she thinks is right.

History:
Negative was born to a small pod of manatees on a stormy night, when a lunar eclipse happened. Everyone thought she was cursed because of that, but her parents, uncle, and grandparents didn't care, they were too happy about her birth. Her mother Sun and her father Soot were very proud parents, until they realized that Negative was indeed cursed.

It was a day just like any other. Sun and Soot suddenly told her to hide in the safety hole behind at the bottom of the small grotto where they were grazing. Negative wouldn't have if she'd known that those were the last words her parents would ever say to their precious calf. The scared calf hid and heard the most horrific scene in her short life. Gargling, splashing, and cries bounced off the close walls of the small grotto. Her mother and father pleaded with their killer to stop, but she didn't. Their killer was Matix, a murderous and insane loner shark at the time, and he had sunk his fangs into her mother and father's neck and drowned the helpless manatees. Matix laughed and then swam away into the dark ocean. Tiny Negative got out from the hole and saw her mother and father, bloodied and broken at the bottom of the shallow grotto. Their horrified gazes frozen in their sightless eyes, the never ending gasp plastered to the mouth. This couldn't happen to her, she was a calf! She couldn't loose her parents, not now. She closed their eyes and mouths, once she did they looked peaceful. She swam to the surface and cried her cries of pain into the darkening sky.

Eventually, time healed healed wounds and became happy again. She had become close to her uncle, Thorn, and her Grandparents, Nitro and Moon. Thorn's son had just died of illness, and he was in the post shock state. She wanted him happy, because he reminded her of Soot. He taught her more about herself than she would ever know. The swimming session they were on didn't end well, a couple of humans were out boating. They just got a little too close to Thorn and Negative and they got sucked into the propeller. Thorn was being cut and stabbed at, and could find no way out. His big body was his downfall. Negative fought her hardest to help save him, but she didn't. After his body was washed away by the current, the same thing happened to her, only hers were worse because of her small size. She ended up having slashes and scratches all down her back, loosing part of her left front flipper, and tiny notches in her tail. Ironicly, the humans on the boat worked at a small rehabiliation station for Marine life and quickly to her there to fix her up.

At the station, she was placed in a tank with another pod of manatees, this one was much smaller than her home pod. Nonetheless, they were still nice and patient because of her new, crippled state. She befriended another young manatee named Ash who was quite the charmer. He had taught her how to swim and look for fresh seaweed again with her nub of a front flipper. To be honest, she was very happy there and grew up happy. Every now and again, she thought of her remaining grandparents and the rest of her home pod.

Her first love was Ash, her best friend since they were young calves. They loved each other very much, and dreamed of having a family of their own someday. However, Negative was being shipped back out into the sea, due to the crowding of the enclosure. On the day of her shipment, she had found out the Ash had died because of some strange illness, making her heart shatter into a million tiny pieces.

Negative had swam the sea for weeks on end before finding the Creeds. She became a mender since she couldn't fight, hunt, or have any good skill whatsoever besides healing others. Though they have accepted her warmly, she feels alone and like an outcast. All she ever really does is put a little coral here and a little slime here. She wishes to find that one true love, make more friends, and find out what her true purpose in life is, even if she does live in a living hell.
