Quote: A long, slimy, iridescent limb picked up the application form and slid it into the Bin's slavering maw. As the creature munched eagerly, a tired, irritated sigh came from the headmistress's chair. "A year...no... half a year ago, this little worm, her papers wouldn't even reach my desk, let alone your mouth." The Bin didn't seem to mind this turn of events, quite the contrary! Another sigh, "I supposed it is once again a time of beggars and choosers. Though I do not beg, me. But I must, perhaps, be a little less choosy, and seek the ah...diamonds in the rough." She thought back to the application, " Very rough."

  Name: Levis Coneseed
Nicknames: Levi, Lev (Demi), Jiejie (Xiu), Luvvie (Family), Princess (West)
Gender: Female
Age: 16
Faction/Race: Monster/Tatzelwurm
Personality: Down to earth and sporting a small-town mentality, she can be viewed as naive at times. Levis was raised in a two-bit hillside Tatzel-filled town where everybody knew everybody. This accounts for an open-book feel to Levi that never seems to fade; that's just how she is.
Being discredited as uneducated (i.e hey maw! git of de dang rouf!) is probably Levis' only real issue. Believing that she isn't "big-city"-smart, Levi tries making up for her shortcomings by studying very hard...often to no avail. Nonetheless, Levi is comforted by her knowledge base and perks when people don't seem to know what she is talking about (i.e. if you didn't understand it, she has succeeded at out-smarting you).
Her instincts in a social setting may include a bit of rough play (git yur mind outta the gutter! >:E). If she really likes you, don't be too surprised if you find yourself on the floor with legs and arms wrapped around you... it's a constricting thing that's rather homely to her <3 Let's wrestle! >w<
When Levi isn't attempting to hit the books or attacking someone, her hobbies include hiking (more like rock-jumping/grappling), swimming and dancing. Her taste in music is certainly outdated and she probably has little to no knowledge of what the "in" trends are...but she is thrilled by the simplest technology.
Dislikes or peeves include creatures who insist on absolute elitism or
nonrecognition of equal rights between the factions. C'mon ya'll now
grin on yur boilers- come to love one another right now-
Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? First to head to a major school (rather than a shed behind some relative's home with a handful of students...), Levi is making her friends and family back home proud for opening her horizons. She's an adventurer! An entrepreneur! She'll be the next Skellington! ... extremely high hopes are involved. If you're going to leave home and everything you know, might as well be for the biggest of the best, right?
As far as the classes go, Levi couldn't tell you why she doesn't seem to get good grades academically... but, when in doubt, she hopes her physical traits will lend themselves out in the more labor-intense assignments.

Home is where the heart is... delicious heartClosing the heavy door, you'll notice many key things about this dorm:
1 ) There are candy corn vines growing in just about every corner of the room
2 ) The floors are unfinished wood and creaky
3 ) There is a closed off washroom complete with a ceramic tub and old rustic mirror
4 ) There is a tv, but MAN is it archaic-looking. You wonder if it is even capable of color...(it surprisingly is)
5 ) The tv faces a corner with a random pillow hoard of varied sizing. It's neater than having a hay pile (as she does at home).
6 ) There is a firepit. Levi enjoys things cooked over a good open flame (it's contained)
7 ) Along with the firepit, in the far left corner is a rickety vibrating fridge. Is something still alive in there?!...
8 ) The round table is meant for studying and the elongated one is where Levi eats (her family always ate together at a table. Useful for company)
9 ) There is indeed a monitor visible behind some vines. Levi is capable of getting onto groanspring here, but beware her technological skill
10 ) THERE IS ALWAYS CANDY CORN

 Levi's Current Natural Tail Size: 36 ft
4.5 ft shoulder to shoulder span
The Tatzelwurm is a creature with sightings spreading throughout the mountains. It is most commonly described as a sort of reptile with the face of a cat. It is described varyingly as to the number of clawed legs it possesses, if any, and as to the type of skin its long body is covered with: smooth, scaly, wart- or fur-covered. Some accounts also give it the mane of a horse. In actuality, the tatzelwurm is a type of dragon.
In more archaic times, the Tatzelwurm was described as a huge dragon which watched over the woodlands it inhabited. Later, it was said it was said to live in holes, waiting for unwary prey to wander by, and then spring out for an attack. One thing always remained constant, however: once the Tatzelwurm saw someone, it launched a snarling, whistling, flying attack of both fang and claw.
The Tatzelwurm is said attribute many skills. It can leap great distances, is covered in scales that no weapon can pierce, and it is said also to possess a breath of either poisonous fumes or flame. When it appears, the Tatzelwurm raises itself high above its victim, giving itself a most terrifying appearance.
((The name Tatzelwurm roughly translates into "Wyrm with Claws" ("wyrm" being a Northern European dragon/often loosely interchanged with the term "dragon"; sometimes exclusively used to describe the variety of dragons without limbs).))

  FEAR: Tatzelwurms have a poisonous breath which is controlled much like that of a snake. Glands specifically housing her venom are activated when there is a need for offense and the venom is released.
Symptoms may include abdominal pains, a shortness of breath, temporary paralysis, blindness (seconds to hours) or the melting of flesh. If this is mastered, the breath can reach far ranges and prove quite fatal (effects can prolong up to years and have been a reason for certain "disappearances" before), but this takes a full grown and highly practiced Tatzel to perform.
Still somewhat unpredictable, the possibilities and range of these effects are calculated on a time-to-time, creature-to-creature basis. There is no way to force symptoms to specifically occur on demand and there is a limit of venom stored at one time so, once the venom runs out, much time is needed in order to recoup. Also, Levis' throat gets kinda dry when her venom comes out...
...and has yet to successfully paralyze/blind anyone (she did make a boil sick to his stomach though once... :< )
... gotta build that tolerance...
practice practice practice!
** UPDATE! **
Through her venomous bite development, Levi successfully caused two of her peers to fall asleep despite full mobility through the transferring of her venom to them. If it is not taken in through the airborne mixture of her FEAR, the venom Levi produces is not threatening in a matter of pain, but limiting and restraining.
Victims Those Bitten: West & Demi
Natural Ability: High Jump - Her tail acts as an extra limb (like that of a kangaroo or possum) which aids in her impressive jumping abilities. So she's quite agile. Tatzelwurms have been credited to fly in some accounts but, truly, this is just their innate leaping ability at work.
Natural Ability Y2: Venomous Bite - Symptoms may include drunken instability, sleepiness or loss of equilibrium.
Natural Ability Y3: Retractable Claws - The claws she uses in natural form become more prominent in her student form, allowing her to bring out claws no longer than 2in.

  Ma- They are compared often. Still looks youthful for her age, but Mrs. Coneseed isn't as dim as her offspring. Caring, understanding, and a good cook by their standards.
Pa- Wishes Levi would be less of a boil and more of his little ghoul. Enjoys hunting with his bare paws and has been Levi's dance partner since she was a scarling. Prone to physically express himself, especially if with aggression.
Gran- The quiet salt and pepper coated tatzelwurm that hugs more than she speaks. Storytelling about days of old and dragon kin is her speciality. She lives with Levi's parents and is of her Mother's side.
Uncle Vern- The self elected official for venturing out of town for bartering and merchanting purposes. When Levi leaves for home, it's likely her uncle that picks her up. Father's brother.
Cousin Enis- Son of Uncle Vern and Levi's personal punching bag sparr partner growing up. The other boils wouldn't play and teach her how to roughhouse, so she depended on what she saw to practice with Enis. He is afraid of rope and not the brightest kernel in the barrel.
Little Billy Joe- A tattle-tailing, smart-mouthed, no-good coward of a boil, according to Levi. Their mothers considered setting them up as a mated pair, but Levi refused, opting to find a mate herself as per her punching him in the face.
The General Town Populace of approx. 112 -

 Demi - Her kin away from her kin. Demi reminds her of a cousin as well as a character from a tale her Gran told her growing up. Often referred to as "Rex." Always tailhugs.
Lizzy - A petite ghoul Levi met upon the eve of her arrival at school. A seamstress that impresses and drives Levi to hug often. Easily warms to her.
Holly - The first other rough ghoul Levi met and shared a secret treehouse with. Hasn't seen her in a long time.
West - aka bird demon. She respects his outright determination and gull to take her on. Likely one of the strongest opponents she has ever faced but would never let him know that. His ability to aggravate her is only equal to his ability to put her at ease.
Shehk - Ran a sleepover on the eve of Levi's arrival. Seems nice enough.
Tess - A ghoul cut in half. A bit timid. Levi saved her from dancing with pixies in the desk haunted house during the Florescetival.
Yaya - Met briefly at the sleepover as well as during the swimming lesson for Bul.
Riley - She talks in her mind. Initially met at sleepover. Runs the Fitness Club; a rough ghoul.
Bul - A boil she categorizes similarly to Demi in that he would be greeted as kin. He taught her the game of snotball and even offered her half of his very own hand-made snotball. They'd teamed up time and again to defend Amity and each other.
Jove - Small, but proof that size doesn't matter in a fight. He'd won once at arm wrestling and was with Levi during her prom shopping experience.
Jericho - Dragon kin. If Levi had an older brother, she'd hope he would be as knowledgable and entertaining. Jericho could speak forever about his history and she'd listen like a child with a bedtime story. He was her date for prom '11.
Mot - The cow boil she felt at ease and homely with. He knows how to press her buttons and is often accused of having a "smart mouth." Was the prince to her princess at prom '11. Can shake a boot in any hoedown.
Ash - The ghost who appeared in her room randomly one day, only to speed off. Sweets had taken a liking to her, so Levi counts that as a good sign. During prom, she'd helped to coax Levi into dancing as the dj, turning a spotlight on her.
Xiu - In many ways a student as well as a little sister. Levi is called "jiě jie" (older sister) by her and is close enough to greet her as she would her family via tail. Another petite ghoul who Levi warms to easily and admires the determination of despite her meek stature.
Junko - Part of the Love Squad. Briefly trained in some sneaking tricks.
Mitsu - A timid ghoul who she tried to teach dancing to along with Mot. What she lacks in mobile stability, she makes up for in kindness. She'd helped Levi hide the body of an unconscious Shun...
Shun - A reaper who surprised her in the arts of agility and precision. Seems to be close friends with Mitsu and practices fighting moves with blades sometimes. Accidentally constricted to the point of K.O during sparring. He is the black ninja to her white.
Lattice - Petite ghoul who doesn't see the same way everyone else does. Extremely nervous around strangers but is not likely to run away once she's met them (?)
Hel - A rough ghoul perhaps easily befriended. Appears to be close friends with Mot. Bloomers are for the strong!
Kettil - A boil to roam the woods with. He is an enigma of a boil that enjoys conversation and always has something interesting to say to Levi. Plus that sense of humor- kekeke
ToTers No Face & Rage - Mentors; they're strange but very knowledgeable. Levi would follow them off a cliff if they asked it of her o_o

Popcorn  Popcorn was found by Levi in one of the barrels of candy corn that had been freshly harvested by her town.
This malformed version of the candy corgon breed was specific to her region and considered quite rare to see. Living with the fumes and conditions of her town, they took a particular liking to the crops and mutated slightly to better sneak/hide and fly away quickly when stealing from the harvest. Folks couldn't figure out where these things were nesting, and thus couldn't drive them out of the town. They cleverly hide their urn-like homes within an abundance of fog to derail potential threats.
Levi decided to name him "Popcorn"... for she had popped his chubby bottom out of the hole of a barrel when they first met and it obviously liked their candy corn. In turn, Popcorn is both dependant and protective of Levi. Read Interesting non-studying sessions of random trivia and making up things that are
more than likely incorrect. This is what happens when Levi and Read are together.
She likes to study SO MUCH that she is amazed at all the fascinating things Read has to say.
Is this really a capable study buddy? The ghoul believes so. Even if Read really is just throwing everything possible off the top of it's head at her. Sweets Levi acquired Sweets as a gift for her acceptance to the academy. This common but trademark
creature is beyond a doubt the most affectionate in her region. Her Uncle Vern offered it to
her as a way to remember her home and family. Levi treats Sweets like a plush at times and
can be seen showing ghouly affection towards the Candy Corn Treat.
(note: still never in front of potential battle prospects)
