Coral the Mercrap

A young, female, jam-colored merfox (mermaid fox).

Character Bio
Coral lives in the ocean near the shores of Happy Tree Town. She loves playing with sea-creatures, even though some of them eat her alive. Another typical cause of death for her is her curiosity about life above the surface. She has had a crush on Russell, ever since she saved him from drowning when they were both very young, and stalks him whenever she can. When she gets emotional, she often sings about it. When she sings, it puts a sort of hypnotic siren love spell on other tree friends, one that will make them lose all common sense and be drawn to her, resulting in their deaths.

History with Russell (Not Definite)
When Russell was very young, he stowed away on his father's pirate ship because he wanted to be like his dad. By some sudden and hilarious disaster, the ship sank, almost everyone on board was killed in a HTF fashion, and Russell lost his right hand and both legs. Coral, who is around the same age as Russell, swam by and witnessed this, saved Russell from drowning, and took him to a nearby island. She also saved Russell's dad, but when he was giving his dying words to Russell, a coconut fell from a palm tree and smashed his head in. For about a week, Russell was stranded on the island with Coral nursing him back to health and keeping him company, until he woke up to find a rescue boat coming his way (Coral is nowhere in sight) and was rescued. While they were sailing away, Russell, from the back of the ship, saw Coral in the water looking back. They silently waved to each other until Coral dove back into the ocean's abyss. That's the last time they saw each other until sometime in their "present day" years.
