PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
Curie is of small stature, with a somewhat plump figure, adorable whiskers, and light silver-blue fur that almost passes for white in most lighting. Depending on artistic preferences, she sometimes has gold-streaked flaxen headfur that is worn arranged in pigtails, a sensible mohawk, two mohawks, or let down in a messy tousle with curling ends. This flaxen color is completely lost beneath layers of bright mint-green fur dye, which also stains her paws, and sometimes also her tail, when she's feeling particularly like causing her sister great distress.When her eyes are not the normal pure black void of a normal rat's, they're a bright, sparkling green, also depending on artistic preferences. A pair of massive, thick-lensed glasses are usually perched on her snout, poised to reflect light across their entire surface in a diabolical sheen whenever she needs to threaten somebeast, usually one of her siblings.
She mostly wears green, from minty to forest.
While she doesn't share her sister's passion for fancy fashion, she does try to look presentable, and to that end, has more than one skirt, blouses and tunics of various matching shades, a small collection of hats, and three pairs of mismatched boots which are worn to the sole and therefore all feel about the same no matter which combination is worn. Everything she owns is paw-me-down from an older sibling.
PERSONALITY:
Curie's personality is... eclectic. It is often drawn from the beasts around her, in the way a sponge soaks up the liquids around it. Which is not to say if surrounded by meanie-faces that she will become a meanie-face. She just doesn't quite know who she wants to be, and emulates those who seem to have their act together and align with her inner morality. If that means being bubbly, introspective, serious, a total nutter-butter ball... then by golly, that's who she'll be! Until it no longer serves the situation. Is it a cop-out? Yes. Totally. Someday, maybe she'll figure out who she wants to be all the time. Or maybe she won't.Sometimes, in fits of wanton individuality, she goes a bit off in trying to invent herself and starts dabbling in something dangerous and taboo just to figure out if that might be why she doesn't fit in anywhere. She has yet to be arrested, but that will likely change soon. She is a Rascallo, after all.

BIOGRAPHY:
Born in what would have been a fairly nice place in Merith Cove on the isle of Magh, if not for the over-abundance of siblings making it more of a hovel.She mostly spent time caretaking for her siblings, while occasionally chasing after a fleeting fancy - be it beast or interest, all were left by the wayside when something more appealing came along. Or not. Sometimes, interests just stop being interesting, and as for the romances... Well, young love and all that. She tried her paw at various jobs around Merith Cove, never quite settling into anything that spoke to her and eventually forgetting she even had an apprenticeship anywhere before moving on to the next thing.
It was the decision of her sister, Cryle, to leave Magh that caused her to look up from the haze of Merith Cove and realize there might be more to life after all. Adventures to be had. And, who was going to look after Cryle? All their other siblings were here to look after each other - Cryle would have no one. And so she set out amidst the cheering of a family who would now all have slightly larger portions.
