History

Minnow grew up alone, scared of any shadow that passed over the water - until she met a few friendly faces, and realised that the world was maybe not always as scary as it seemed.

She really enjoyed meeting others, but was often still too scared to venture very far from the rivers, streams, ponds, and lakes that she’d grown up in and around. Deep and dark ocean water is especially terrifying, and the only way that she managed to find her way over to Isla Pera in the first place was because she discovered the tunnels linking the islands. The volcanic island is… frightening. There are a lot of very large carnivores there, and she much prefers the safer and quieter Isla Kela.

She is occasionally tempted to go back from time to time - by a much more daring, high-spirited atopo named Creek. Creek defended her from a carnotaurus (admittedly, a very small one that was more curious than aggressive), and she has stuck close beside the more adventurous, confident atopo since then.

Fun Facts:

• Absolutely loves to play-wrestle, but will only do so with other atopos
• Loves minnows - as friends. Don’t eat them please she’d be sad
• Often gives gifts to other dinos, especially nice shells, rocks, or aquatic flowers
