Jonathan Barbie is a bit of an enigma, to be honest((Honesty? In the Wiki of LIES?))((If you believe that, I've got a Bridge in Squat Hole that's for sale)). For starters, she's a bi-gendered((Don't worry, I'll explain)) cis-female((Meaning, female-bodied)) who grew up in the Far North of Canada, a place fairly similar to [[squat_hole|one that Improbable Citizens all know and love]]. For seconds, she's terrible at making comebacks and telling jokes, and isn't very good with riddles either((Could be all those Improbable Colas she keeps knocking back)). However, what has to be the most puzzling thing about her is the fact that she simply isn't bothered too much with Improbability, or the Drive, or the fact that her [[Joker]] friends keep fiddling with her appearance((She does have a lot of those Joker friends)). Other, more mundane details about this character can be found below. ====== Appearance ====== Extremely androgynous looking, Jonathan is blessed with wonderfully average brown eyes and rather healthy looking, short and shaggy brown hair purple hair((A run-in with one of her aforementioned Joker friends)). She stands about 5'5"((Or so; her height sometimes fluctuates)) and weighs around 160lbs((As does her weight)). All in all, she is a spectacular specimen of humanity, being perfectly unique and interesting in every way.((And not at all average at all!)) When feeling female, Jonathan is dressed in a light purple sweater. When male, he wears a green button down. His jeans stay the same mottled-blue colour((Stained with all sorts of nastiness))((Really, he ought to wash them sometime. Positively filthy)) that they've been since he first got to the island. For footwear, she wears sensible black leather shoes((The kinds that are on the feet of lawyers and doctors and the like)). If she's wearing armour, it is either underneath or overtop of her clothing.((Duh.)) ====== Past ====== Before being kidnapped and taken to the Island, Jonathan ran a tourist train from New York to Toronto. He didn't have much of a life outside of that; the outside world and its problems 'bored' him((Which is why he's having 'so much fun' on the Island)), though he did lurk in libraries on his few days off.((He's a secret bibliophile; don't tell him I told you)) Before working on the train, Jonathan lived with his parents in((As it's been said before)) the Far North of Canada((Yes, all that Capitalization is necessary))((It's for EMPHASIS on the extremity of the Far North))((I mean, we're talking Arctic Circle here, practically)), living in a log cabin and learning all sorts of interesting things, among which are hunting, trapping, fishing, and being able to weave a grass bracelet in under a minute((Which, if you've ever tried to weave a grass bracelet, is quite the feat))((Especially if you're using short grass)). Unfortunately, Jonathan had gotten rather rusty at all those skills((Except for the grass weaving, thank goodness)) after he moved to the city. Fortunately, it was once he moved to the city((Which he did after he had grown too old to enjoy fishing stories))((Which was at about age seventeen)) that he discovered a secret love of taking apart things. After dismantling a multitude of objects,((including, but not limited to: cats, hose, cars, engines, telephones, mattresses, typewriters, catapults, and batteries)) he noticed he had gotten quite good at dismantling, and it is now his most prominent skill.((Well, that, and being sent to the FailBoat)) ====== Present ====== At present, Jonathan spends her time lounging about the Common Ground((If you're looking for her, chances are she'll be here)) when she's not battling in the Jungle or wandering around the Island. Because she stays in the Commons so much, she has grown to know several of its usual inhabitants and as such has befriended a few Contestants.((You know who you are.)) Currently she's trying to save up as much Req as she can, the little money mongrel... ====== Future ====== In the future, Jonathan sees herself enjoying a quiet life on a beach somewhere, preferably a tropical island beach.((But of course, we all know how often THOSE turn up...)) Of course, she'll be filthy rich at this point, and have many friends((And butlers)) to indulge her every whim. ====== Other ====== Anything else you want to know about Jonathan Barbie is listed here.((Unless, of course, it isn't)) ===== Bi-Gendered-Ness ===== Okay, so. In a nutshell, those who are bi-gendered identify as both male and female, depending on when you meet them. A more complete((And wordy)) description can be found [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bigendered|here]]. ===== Possessions ===== After a run-in with his [[Xane|Clan Leaders]]((TYPES)), Jonathan encountered a spot of Improbability that left him with a small cow-coloured cat named Cybil. Cybil is an outgoing little brat who loves attention and hates the Jungle. So far she has not encountered the Improbability Drive,((As she runs away whenever Jonathan gets close to it)) and she intends to keep it that way. Jonathan's possessions, besides the kitten, consist of a leather-bound journal, a small interchangeable screwdriver, and a gold pocket-watch with a chain. The chain he found in the Jungle((After a particularly nasty battle with a Ministry Man)), the screwdriver he bartered for at Sheila's, and the journal he made himself after he heard the side effects of having tea with Horatio.((Which is why he keeps this journal with him at all times, and does not let anyone else touch it for fear of messing with his memories)) ===== Personality ===== If you have to ask, you've obviously never met her. On the whole, she's a realistic, ((Fairly))logical egomaniac who rarely seems to lose her temper.((More because she can't be arsed to argue, as she can get quite offended)) She's not terribly useful with helping people, as she is rather awful with social interaction.((Some say it's because she was home-schooled all her life, but I disagree)) She is hyper on the rare occasion, preferring to save her strength for Jungle battles and self-preservation. ===== Heroes ===== Now, Jonathan isn't much of one to fall all over herself fawning after someone, but there is a certain person she holds above all else. If you ask about said person, Jonathan will sure sing praises((Whether or not they are deserved is another matter entirely)), so if'n you're curious that's all you have to do.
