Something that I found today:
MerLarry
MerLarry's characteristic 1960s Jaqueline Kennedy coif is what makes her such a fashion icon. She is trying to bear the weight of her hundred and fifty years but has self-doubts, in particular, her personal gender issues. The mermaid-like curve of her body is partly why she thinks she is overweight, but the caricature looked so well on MerLarry merchandise, that her manager thought, "Why not?"
MerLarry has a human-like face, with the slight curves in her fish's body bringing out the shine in her red and yellow scales. Her triangular, neon green fins might now be serving a mere aesthetic purpose since she spends most of her time on land. Her big 'do used to be the most popular fashion in her time, but she was convinced that it is as timeless as Jackie O., although her critics call it a 'mushroom head'. Constantly petting her hair and applying hairspray in liberal amounts, MerLarry is self-concious and wants to look her best for the press always. Her buck teeth are almost concealable after years of botched-up dental surgery.
Often seen commenting on the latest trends, MerLarry has her own fashion line. She has embarked on a quest; to get everyone to wear her clothes, which will hopefully boost her self-esteem.
MerLarry is technically a fantasy character- she has a quest, self-doubts, and is a mythical creature; though it doesn't really fit the fantasy genre in terms of language and style, but whatever. It is a parody of whatever you like- Singapore's national icon, Anna Wintour, or even today's celebrities. (everyone who is anyone has a clothes/perfume line.) Chimp might have preferred it if I were to change 'personal gender issues' to 'sexual orientation', but I wanted to keep it PG-13. R&R if you feel like.
