Other Characters Played: Duo Maxwell, Ben O'Farrell
Character Name: Jimmy ***
Fandom: De Fawg Pin books by Donna Jo Napoli
Canon or Alternate Universe: AU. Instead of turning back into a frog just before the hag turned into a large rock, he stayed a boy.
Canon Point:
Species: Fawg/frog. He's the son of a man-turned-frog and a frog, but he's currently in a human(ish) body.
Age: ***
Appearance: He has greenish skin that peels if he's away from water too long or spends too much time in the sun, and shoulder-length brown, curly hair. His fourth toe is longer than normal. (The only colored picture I have of him is here)
Background: Once upon a time, a hag turned a prince into a frog. He didn't make a very good frog -- his tongue got in the way when he tried to talk, he didn't want to eat bugs, and he didn't act like a frog should act. Normal frogs don't fight, they run and hide, but the prince didn't know that. He fought bigger frogs, a box turtle, and the hag when she came back. Luckily, he met Jade, another frog, who tried explaining the way he should act. He tried to explain that he wasn't just a normal frog, he was the frog prince, but his tongue got in the way, so he called himself "de fawg pin." Since Jade couldn't tell what he was trying to say, she decided his name was Pin.
Jimmy is the son of Pin and Jade. Pin disappeared a short while after he was born, but Jimmy has heard many stories and misses his father. Like Pin, Jimmy isn't exactly a normal frog -- he and his brothers and sisters call themselves fawgs. They're faster thinking than other frogs, try to take care of each other (frogs usually mind their own business), and croak with only their left vocal sac. Jimmy is the smartest and bravest of his brothers and sisters, and his mother calls him Dreamer because he is always thinking of unfroglike things.
Jimmy lived in a pond for most of his life, along with his brothers, sisters, and mother, and a variety of other pond creatures. His biggest worry was the big box turtle that kept trying to eat him and the other frogs/fawgs. There was a man who visited the pond fairly often, and told stories about Pin and other strange things. He brought a horse with him that Jimmy decided was his horse, and Jimmy would imagine hopping out of the pond to ride on the horse's head. Other than that, Jimmy lived a simple life, just swimming around in the pond and eating bugs.
One day, an old hag showed up and threatened the pond, saying she would dry it up if she wasn't given her magic ring back. She also caught Jimmy and tried to curse him, but without the ring, her powers wouldn't work. Jimmy knew that the man who often visited the pond had the ring, and that the man lived in a palace. He headed off for the palace
Reality Description:
Powers/Abilities: He jumps very well (at one point, someone accuses him of flying) for a human, if not as well as he could as a frog. He's a very good swimmer, but that's taken a lot of practice.
