Rhonda's a kangaroo, with a bit of Thylacine influence, looks like.
AirRaiser drew her with 4 fingers, making her more hybrid-y or alien-y, Enaya took an approach more accurate to a kangaroo. She even made her feet originally just like a roo, but I had her bulk them up a bit, because that's how AirRaiser had 'em. However, I didn't notice the finger count 'til it was too late. So any artist looking at this ref: feel free to draw her more rooish with 5 fingers, or more hybridy with 4 fingers. IDC. :)
She's shamanistic, specifically a healer, with an ointment specialty. Hopeful_Monster_Studios suggested I actually give her more markings, like an Australian aborgine, and imbue her with wisdom and healing abilities. And a pouch of holding. ;)
I decided that she also has an addictive personality, meaning she's quick to acquire an addiction to things and get heavily involved with them before she gets distracted by some new addiction. And she should have a few unshakable addictions that may cause problems for her, get her into trouble, and/or make her a bit of an oddball, like one of those friends you're glad to have for a number of reasons, but can't hang out with too long because the addiction(s) gets in the way.
I'm not sure what she's addicted to, yet. Lots of things at any given time. I'm imagining video games, a beverage of some sort, sex, or religion, maybe some illicit substances ... could be anything really. I'm letting artists who choose her invent some addictions for her and express them through art. That'll help develop her as a character. :)
