Puzzle & Diamond

marking on her forehead. She was born in Nigeria, and moved to England at a young age. Her parents were very traditional, and forced their daughter to retain her African values and not try to fit in with the English kids. This resulted in her being very shy and withdrawn, and the object of ridicule.

Then one day she met a native-born cheetah named Alex, who was a misfit and planned on becoming a rockstar. Diamond fell in love with him, seeing him as a kindred spirit. Alex told Diamond to do what she wanted and never let others control her. Diamond took this to heart and began to dress and act like other English girls. Diamond also became very sexually experienced with Alex and his friends at this time. Her parents were appalled and kicked her out of her home. At the same time, Alex moved away to pursue his musical dreams. Alone and distraught, Diamond moved to London to try to find a new life.

She began working at an adult toy company called "Cumsplatter Toys Inc." as a receptionist. Finding the job adequate but wanting more from life, she decided to visit a local strip club, called "The Safari". Upon hearing an 1980s song she really liked and beginning to dance to it, the manager noted the unusual zebra and decided to hire her as an exotic dancer. To this day, Diamond is the most popular girl at the club and frequently has trysts with co-workers and customers without her boss's knowledge.

Interest: Diamond secretly has an extreme fondness for cheesy 1940s and 1950s sci-fi movies. Her favourite movie is "Space Cats from Mars". The walls of her flat are adorned with vintage pulp movie posters and toys, and she has an enormous DVD collection of old films. She never lets anybody, except close friends, know that she is essentially a geek.

Diamond is obsessed with 80s music. It's the only music she allows to be played when she's performing at the club, because it's the only music that gets her going. From what little she's said about Alex to her friends, it's been surmised she prefers 80s music because that was the first type of music he introduced to her

Relationships: Diamond has had trysts with Vince the rhino, Dax the wolf, and Ruby the red panda, but she has had long-term relationships with Glitter the gazelle and Puzzle the giraffe, the latter who is her live-in girlfriend and main love. Diamond and Nightshade the jackal share an enmity of currently unknown origin, and they sometimes trade profane and demeaning insults. However, their hatred motivates them to avoid each other most of the time.

Puzzle:

Puzzle's real name is Patricia Patel. She is nicknamed Puzzle for her puzzle-shaped spots and her ditzy personality. She is also the sister of Patrick.

Puzzle's parents were from Oxford, England, but their family was from Kenya. They moved to India before Puzzle was born. She was born and raised in India for the first eight years of her life, learning old-fashioned Indian English while living there. To this day, she still uses outdated Victorian phrases or words, though her accent is distinctly Oxford.

When she was eight years old, her parents moved back to England and she spent the rest of her life there. Puzzle's parents were doctors and were rich, but she decided to live on her own in London. She still keeps up with them through letters, and she also writes letters to her huge family that are spread all over Africa and Europe.

Interest: Puzzle is a big fan of British sitcoms and enj
