// Humans can bite with a strength of about 160 psi, while some crocodiles can average anywhere between 2000-5000 psi.

The average dendie bites with a strength of about 1500 psi. Dendie matriarchs can bite quite possibly up to 10,000 psi and regularly enjoy grinding specially-flavored bones to splinters between their jaws, as a testament to their wealth.

Their teeth are incredibly durable, more than other bones (though eating materials like rock could still break them). The strength of their jaws correlates with the size of their necks, which is why matriarchs have an advantage. They are optimized for biting and chewing.

The Duchess might have the numbers, but the size of her tusks makes it too difficult to put her jaws around anything substantial. Meanwhile, the sweet-faced Lady Evergreen has a bite of about 5000 psi. She has a similar build on a smaller scale, making her far more deadly in practice, without the obstacle of heavy tusks.

// All these threads with Lady Evergreen and she’s so busy fighting for her life and/or meeting people she can’t even talk about Sports, the number 1 thing occupying her brain, ranking even above cult-classic musicals, bad pick-up lines, and food.

Imagine how hard a gorilla could pitch a baseball. Now imagine that the gorilla is shorter and greener and has tusks. Someone needs to teach her a [Name of Planet] Game. It would boost her ego so much to be good at it.

// Alabonsés will melt in any temperature higher than ‘kind of warm’. In most threads so far, the weather hasn’t been described as especially hot, but their general robustness and arctic fur coats will leave them like fuzzy green rugs clinging to the bathroom floor tiles.

Dendies wear wool clothing on top of their fur to keep out the windchill of their home worlds. Both worlds are uniformly ‘brisk’, owing to all other biomes being flooded, and forcing the dendie groups each on to one small mass of land. Extreme cold and extreme warm biomes are a thing of the past, evened out to ‘unpleasantly rainy’ and ‘sort of chilly’ in present.

Lady Evergreen Alabonsé IX

Aliases: Lady Evergreen, Evergreen (the) Young(er), Vee

Dendie half-matriarch, nonbinary female (she/her), almost 30

Appearance:

Ape-like; average height but larger than human proportions; broad, compact, muscular beneath a portly figure.

Light blue-green skin. Dark green fur, soft with an emerald shine, covering the entire body except for her face, and soles of her hands/ feet. Mane is styled smooth and sleek, although naturally curly. Sideburns combed carefully, with two faded yellow fur patches that glitter in the light.

Short, heavy neck with a lump for her venom organ; round face and chin. Two, small, human-like ears hidden beneath her mane.

Bright green eyes with dark irises. Small and upturned nose. Wide mouth with sharp fangs, and two large, polished tusks protruding from a severe underbite. A few lower teeth are always visible and she cannot fully close her jaw.

Scent:

Floral perfume, camphor, aftershave, woodsmoke; natural/close-proximity only: the oils of a fur pelt, hint of ‘disinfectant’ from her toxins, and a whiff of body odor.

Voice: Speaks in Received Pronunciation, with a noticeable lisp because of her tusks. Her voice is an expressive light baritone, prone to being louder than average. When excited, her tone becomes slightly nasally.

Also makes ambient snuffles and snorts (i.e. in agreement, in thought), since her nose is short and stuffy.

Favorite Things:

Outdoor pursuits (hiking, travel, sports), autumn weather, the color yellow, social gatherings, chewing bones, delicious food and wines, song and theater, fish (as pets), warm baths, floral perfumes, tactile things (either soft or clicking).

Least Favorite Things:

Heights, brightness, summer heat, feeling trapped, being ignored, being bored, bland meals, uncomfortable clothing, being touched without initiating first, talking about her other family (not Alabonsés).

Personality and Manner:

Lady Evergreen is often energetic and cordial in public, a natural entertainer for her family’s guests. She moves at a fast pace and can usually attend to multiple happenings at once.

In the past, she has proven a selfish and shallow person. Though a beacon of popularity, Evergreen IX has many acquaintances and few friends. After her wife started ignoring her, she began to reflect upon and remedy her overbearing behavior. She may be condescending or naive at times, but less self-centered than before.

As a sheltered aristocrat, Evergreen IX is hesitant towards the unusual. She is polite but distrusting of most people. She has held a secret desire for hidden magic and a fantastic escape since childhood, but remains a skeptic to avoid disappointment. Proven that this does exist, however, she would be curious about alien people and places. As soon as she has gotten over the shock, she may as well introduce herself.

Other Info:

Illegitimate daughter of the Duchess Alabonsé and another Duchess.

Married to Jargoon, 1st Viscountess Jarcounce. They have a strained relationship and she believes Jargoon loves her career more than her.

Fell into the Lake Sanctimonious at the age of 10, which caused her partial metamorphosis. She shares some traits with matriarchs but she has few quills. Her venom is also weak and almost never produced.

Low vision. Cannot describe detail outside of contrast/blocks of color, unless extremely close up. Can move without assistance on her own estate grounds. Carries an extendable cane she can use to navigate crowded, or unfamiliar, places.

Light sensitive, wears various shades of dark blue glasses to protect her eyes from brightness.
