I've been putting it off for a while, but I finally decided I should upload everything I have about my new-ish character.

Meet Artie! Short for Articia, she's a leopard seal born and raised in Alaska that now lives in Florida with her husband Julian after her discharge from the Marines. She used to be a more serious and sullen person before she started her life over and learned that being a mom made her feel so much more fulfilled and happy.

She's got zero volume control and is very touchy with everyone she meets. She's proud of what she accomplished in the Marines, but she doesn't like to talk about it. Has some personal shortcomings about expressing gender and likes to take any opportunity to feel feminine, especially when it comes to being a mom. Wants a big, big family to make up for her more lonely upbringing with just her father. Julian is more than happy to provide that for her. Likes space and astronomy, hates tofu and going more than three days without getting in the water. Eventually starts teaching kindergarten.
