Profile

Philippe is a noisy, athletic fine arts student from Toronto, who lives in England, drinks at Starbucks and can turn into a jumping spider.

That's not unusual where she comes from. She spent a bit more time flitting between alternative forms than did the other kids, but now she's settled into the spider, which is kind of embarrassing when the rest of her family is cool stuff like wolves and red-tailed hawks. Ughhh, and once it got out she was totally ditched by the cool crowd at school. But that suits her fine, because who needs them anyway they're so shallow and mainstream and sob those lucky assholes.

She's sideways eyeing her university's Predator/Prey Alliance, but isn't sure whether joining is worth the hassle of officially coming out as something as not kawaii as a big hairy spider. She likes the form well enough in private, but she's less keen on people's reactions to it, especially since some of her friends are arachnophobic anyway -- they know what her other form is, they just don't like to see it. Spider forms are sort of a niche market.

Outside of those hassles, Philippe has Big Plans™ for her future as an artist, and she kinda has fairytale ideas about how well that'll bring in the cash. She prides herself on her imagination. Plain old paintings and drawings aren't her final pieces, oh no; she's more likely to splatter paint and feathers meticulously across a room and explain how it represents the struggle for freedom in a made environment.

She's kind of a hipster, in part because of the whole mainstream-rejection thing that she threw herself into when she turned out to not be one of the cool kids. But her bicycle isn't a fixie.
