Original Character: Toto

Hatched: 562 A. D. Caledonia (Scotland)
Rescued by Brooklyn (Timedancer) in 596 A. D.
Timedanced Time: Approximately 5 months.
Ended Timedancing: New York, Central Islip July 1999
Joined Manhattan Clan: February 2000

Traits: Short temper, average strength, speed, agility. Sings well.

Description: A pink-rose colored gargoyle, leanly muscled. Her wings are a purple-pink on the back, a dusty-rose on the undersides. She has a single wingspar at the end of the wings, giving them a lean square appearance with a slight flare at the end. She has two wing-fingers, instead of a wing-hand or single-talon. Her hair is purple. She has a small knee-spur.

Her jaw is more angular than 'human', and she has both brow ridges and horns. Her brows have two small upswept curves towards the outer edge of her eye, and one downswept curve at the outer edge. Her horns start at her temples, going upwards in a gentle ~ shape from temple to the back of her head, the ends curving in towards one another, creating a broken coronet appearance from behind.

Habits: Forelock always falling into her eyes, she pushes it out of the way a lot. She hums or sings under her breath when she's distracted, or when she's lonely.

Genesis of her name: The most significant portion of her travels with Brooklyn took place when they wound up in Kansas City. When Brooklyn tried to explain 'We're not in Kansas anymore' to her, by explaining about Dorothy and Toto from the Wizard of Oz, the gargoyle took the name Toto as her own.

Significant Attachments: Currently mainly just Brooklyn, who was the only person she associated with after the death of her clan. Though Goliath is the clan leader, Toto often looks to Brooklyn for direction first, then Goliath.

She regards Hudson with respect, as she would a Teacher or Elder from her own clan.
Brooklyn's children she treats much the same way she treated the hatchlings from her own clan.
Sata she regards with the respect she gives the clan leader's mate.

EDIT: In a later story, Toto winds up in Africa when she needs to find a mate (after reaching physical maturity and coming into her breeding cycle). There she meets Hauli, who will become not just a temporary mate for the purpose of breeding, but becomes a significant person in Toto's life.

Significant Flaws: She acts first, thinks second. She does not view humans very highly, and tends to have a callous disregard for their frailty, especially when she's not paying attention or it's a criminal/villain.
