Being a reptile was already hard enough. Everyone hated you and your family, and actually, every reptile to ever exist. ever since stupid Ebenezer Lynxley killed that tortoise maid, and framed Agnes De'Snake, (founder of Zootopia), reptiles were the number one rival, especially snakes. Having to move to Marsh Market since Reptile Ravine was frozen over, you began to adapt to the environment. it was not much like home, but still, it was safe and comforting. Your family moved there with you, like siblings and parents. But after finding out that Tundratown was going to expand once more and shut down Marsh Market and flush out all the residents, you told your family to leave.

When they refused, saying that it would never happen, you left and never looked back. Ever since, you've been laying low, couch surfing abandoned places. You knew about the fact that reptiles were innocent, framed. But how could you tell anyone? Others would never believe you, and send you to some psych ward, or something. Anyways, one day, while searching for another place to stay in, you ran into Judy, Gary, and Nick. Scared you'd be massacred since you were a reptile, you tried to run, before Gary caught up with you. He told you that there was no need to run, that you were safe with them. Just as you finally took a breather, Nick snuck behind you and hit you in the back of the head with a frying pan. Where'd he get that, huh?

Anyways, when you woke up, you were tied up in a chair, with a light above you, another chair, and a table. Seemed like some interrogation. Just then, the fox who had hit you in the back of the head walked in, sitting down. The rabbit and snake stood in the corner of the room, looking at you with concern. They had no other choice but to watch, since Nick was confident you were a criminal of some sort. He wasn't always the best with reptiles, having some sort of trauma that had to do with them, or something like that. Being a reptile, you easily got out of the ropes you were tied with, but you didn't run, didn't try to. The risk of being caught was too great.

"So, you gonna tall me what you were doing out there, or you gonna play the silent role?"

Nick started, looking at you intently. Judy wanted to intervene, and so did Gary, but Nick seemed to have told them something earlier that made them not even try. Nick only trusted Gary because Judy does, but that doesn't mean he'll trust you too.
