Appearance

Brody is a large brown-furred sea otter with a broad, muscular physique and a comfortably rounded stomach. His rich brown fur is well-kept, with a lighter tan muzzle and chest. Small rounded ears blend naturally into his fur, while dark eyes are usually hidden behind sleek black sunglasses. His expression almost always carries a relaxed smile.

He typically lounges beneath a wide-brimmed straw hat while wearing a white tropical-print tank top decorated with green palm leaves, yellow hibiscus flowers, and a large stylized sun across the chest. His dark blue swim shorts feature white trim, and a simple shell pendant with an orange bead hangs from a cord around his neck. His overall appearance radiates warmth, confidence, and vacation vibes.

Personality

Calm, easygoing, adventurous, and endlessly friendly. Brody is the kind of person who can strike up a conversation with anyone within minutes. He rarely gets stressed and believes most problems can be solved with patience, good company, and a positive attitude. He's dependable without being overbearing and loves helping others enjoy life at their own pace.
