Olivera ‘Thumper’ Dreadnought is a college student, film enthusiast, and tomboy (though her species is naturally female-dominant, so this personality isn’t seen as abnormal in their eyes.) As a child, she lived in a town where dinosaur anthros were scarce. This led her domineering nature and intimidating appearance put off most potential friends, causing her to become bitter and mean as a teenager. She grew to regret that behavior as she reached her late teens and early twenties; though she still maintains her loud and tough exterior, she puts a much more positive spin on it, and she has a softer, cuddly side reserved for those closest to her.

Likes: Movies (good and bad, especially when she gets to talk about them with one or two friends), most novels, sunny weather, people brave enough to approach her first, humans.
Dislikes: The idea of scaring people away, her real name (“It makes me sound like some old vampire b****.”)

Speaking of her name, ‘Olivera’ happens to mean ‘descendant of the ancestor’. Thumper’s scales also fade from green on her torso to red on her head and limbs, referencing how olives change color as they mature. And ‘Dreadnought’ means ‘fears nothing’.
