Apostrophe "Appa" Evergold is a member of the Shingetsu Trading Company, ranked as the Mizutsū.

Born and raised in Seabreeze Brink, Appa grew up exploring the ocean coasts and the shorelines of inland tributaries with their equally-as-adventurous parents. Being skilled boat builders and knowledgeable mariners, Appa spent a number of years learning under their tutelage before finally striking off on their own with only their black-headed gull friend, Cornwallis, for company.

Eager to explore and learn more about themself, they began traveling along the coastline to the north, where Appa was caught in the May earthquake that catastrophically altered the terrain there. Although they escaped, curiosity and their adventurer's spirit drove them to go back some weeks later and they saw for themself the damage that had been caused.

Awed, and more than a little fearful of the power of nature, Apostrophe followed the coastline west with a growing need to be among others within a community again.

1.  Characteristics

1.1  Appearance

Summary

A throwback to their distant Nova Scotia duck tolling retriever ancestors, Appa's fur is thick, protective against wet and cold, and is rich in color. Except for their split face and white fringes, they are entirely red in color, with hues ranging from mahogany to copper. Courtesy of their largely pescatarian diet, their fur often appears shiny and hale.

While they spend much of their time in their Optime form to build boats, Appa will switch forms at will depending on other tasks and activities. They wear little in the way of clothing, preferring only what is practical, such as a bandana to keep their mane out of their eyes or satchels to carry supplies.

4.  Footnotes

 

1 Appa was chosen as a new pNPC during New Caledonia's pNPC contest and served this role from December 2020 to January 2023. Amanda and veldt elaborated on some of their specifics but any player from New Caledonia who featured them in threads throughout the span of time that Appa was a pNPC took a hand in helping to bring them to life. Thank you!

2 Dog types: most likely a combination of various retrievers (notably, the Nova Scotia Duck Tolling Retriever, among others), spaniels, and water dogs.
