[robot kitten]

AMITYVILLE ACADEMY ENROLLMENT FORM

Name: Akilil (african for bright/smart)
Nicknames: Apple (since she always has an apple about her.
Gender: Female
Age: 17

Faction:Monster
Race: Bug monster! Specifically: the Rosy Apple Aphid monster.

Natural Ability: need help!

• Consume:

Can consume any plant matter (wood, clothes made from cotton or flax etc) and gnaw through it to get at what she wants. She can only eat her weight... but she can always chew and spit it out if she's trying to gnaw her way to something!

Personality: Loud, energetic, happy, greedy, glutton.
SHE EATS ALL YER APPLES!

Akili is always running around laughing. Energetic from an early age, she was always getting into trouble and messes much to her parent's amusement. They encouraged her, so she's grown up with very little restraint or brakes.

She is a very happy girl, loves doing things, being the center of attention, crawling all over things (especially trees), and eating. Especially apples. Akili adores all things apples. Apple colors, flavors, items, the fruit itself. Give her apples to make her happy and be your friend!

She is clingy as well, and hates to have anything taken from her be it friends or food or items. She's fine with giving.. but if you take something of hers she'll do anything to get it back.

She loves the outdoors, and gardening as well. Any room she lives in for a some time will start having potted plants in it.

Why are they enrolled in Amityville Academy? To learn and hopefully get a pass to the human world faster so she can go raid their apple farms sooner!

FEAR Ability: need help!
Calling the Aphids! type: Offensive: the Mind.
She calls a swarm of aphids to her aid (said aphids must come from nearby, they hear her call and answer her so it can't be used against an opponent that is in a place they cannot reach. So if she's underwater, it cannot be used.)

The aphids climb and pinch the opponent or swarm about the eyes, distracting them.

Physical Description:
Eye Colour: Amber (bug eyes, so no pupils but the orb like look that fly eyes have)
Hair Colour/Style: A wild mess of long loose curls! Dark brown with some highlights that tail into a short messy braid.
Skin Colour: Tanned orange
Clothing Style/Colours: Punk with red and black themes. Mix of cute and sexy. Exact design is up to artist.
Always has an Apple clip in her hair. Likes high heeled boots.
Extra: Has antennae! Hands are very sharp (long and thin) with mini claws for nails.
She's got wide hips and thin shoulders/small chest.
She wears makeup: smokey black eye shadow with a sparkling layer of red up to her thin eyebrows.

TINY!! She is a measly 1 foot tall! Her pin makes her larger(two feet), for which she is happy. She wants to be tall.. but will never be able to get much bigger!

Rosy Apple Aphid
The rosy apple aphid, Dysaphis plantaginea (Passerini), is the most destructive aphid pest of apple in the Southeast. Apple is its preferred host, although rosy apple aphids may also feed on pear. During the hot summer months, rosy apple aphids feed on plantain.

Description
The rosy apple aphid's appearance changes with host and season. On apple, rosy apple aphids are generally wingless and have a slight purplish to rosy body color that is somewhat obscured by a waxy coating. The fall and spring winged adults, which migrate to and from apple, are brownish green with a black head and thorax and transparent wings. The overwintering eggs are glossy black.

Damage
Feeding of the rosy apple aphid early in the season causes injury to fruit, leaves, and stems. Fruit feeding is the greatest concern. It results in small fruit that is somewhat hard and knotty. Feeding on new shoots produces curled, twisted growth. Greatest injury usually occurs during cool springs, when conditions allow aphids to increase more rapidly than their enemies.

Life History
Rosy apple aphids overwinter as eggs on apple. Eggs are attached to the bark of twigs and branches on all parts of the tree but especially in hidden crevices and depressions. Eggs begin to hatch around bud break. The young aphids, or nymphs, which hatch from the eggs are all females and are called "stem mothers" since they are the mothers of the season's brood.

Young aphids initially feed on the outside of leaf buds and fruit clusters. They then work their way down inside of opening clusters to feed. Their feeding causes leaves to curl, and more importantly, it causes misshapen, undersized fruit.

The stem mothers mature and, without mating, give birth to living nymphs. Several generations are produced on apple before winged aphids appear and migrate from apple to plantain. The migration to plantain is usually completed by late June. Winged aphids produce wingless individuals, which feed and reproduce on plantain until fall. In the fall, winged females fly back to apple and give birth to true egg-laying females. Males develop a little later. They fly back to apple to mate with females which then lay overwintering eggs. Eggs hatch the following spring.
