Personal history

[ltr]Citrus Blossomi Fox was born to two loving parents on the 17th of February, 2093. Her father was a mechanic, and her mother worked part-time at the ISAJPL as a Payloads Specialist. From a young age, Citrus was interested in how things worked. She often took apart her toys as a young child, trying to see what made them tick. Citrus' parents treated their only daughter as best as they could, and she grew up to become a respectful and affable person because of it.[/ltr]
During her early school years, Citrus was very popular amongst the children of her grade. She was eccentric and known for her complex and impressive acrobatic skills. Even people who weren't members of the school knew of her skills, whether it be from word of mouth gossiping or social media posts. Citrus handled this popularity well and was modest about it. For a time, she was pretty much a celebrity in her school. As an effect of all this, most of the boys were also competing for her attention. Most of the time she paid no attention to it, but a few lucky ones managed to attract her eye.
 
During her high school years, Citrus stepped up her game in her academics. She soon rose to A-student territory and stayed there for the rest of her high school career. During the tenth grade, she met her current best friend Apricot Fox. They had a few good laughs over the fact that both of their names was a play on the name of the orange fruit. Quickly, the two bonded with each other and they became inseparable, much to the jealousy of all the other boys. They became quite irritated that the new kid had managed to get Citrus' full attention, and they actually plotted to steal her away from him. Fortunately, the plan never took off and soon was abandoned. Citrus and Apricot moved out of their own homes at the ages of 16 and 18, respectively, and brought a house together with money they'd been saving for years. For six years, they lived there, Citrus educating herself in the art of mechanics and construction, and Apricot getting a job at a supermarket.
 
When Citrus was 20 years old, Apricot was sent for military service for one year. That year without Apricot was miserable. His absence, combined with her now voluptuous physique attracted all sorts of people from the opposite sex, and the harassment was a bit much. She locked herself in her house for four months straight, only going out to buy groceries twice a month. During this time, she seemed to grow up five years. She became more emotional, physically weak, and sensitive to light. After Apricot finally returned, unhurt, mind you, she was elated. Almost instantly, she returned to her former glory. Soon after his return, however, he went off to college for four years.
 
This time, the effects of his absence were way less noticeable, since he attended community college and came back home every evening. During these four years, Citrus and Apricot grew closer to each other, so much so that they were almost like brother and sister. A month after Apricot's college graduation, he was inducted into the Mobian Resistance; an elite group of warriors that are dedicated to preserving the peace on Mobius-2. By this time, Citrus had completed her mechanics education and was now a professional. Not long after Apricot's joining of the Resistance, she was asked to join as well. It has been years since their induction, and they have loyally served alongside many others for the entire time.

Education

During Citrus' younger years, she was educated in a public school near the center of West City. This school was considered to be one of the best in the city and gained much traction in the news for having high scores in the yearly inspections. From 1st grade to 4th grade, Citrus attended this school. For 5th grade, she transferred to another school nearby. This is the school she stayed in for the remainder of elementary and high school. After high school, Citrus attended college online. The actual campus was much too far away to go to, so she settled for online classes four days a week. This is where she earned a degree in automotive technology.

Employment

For most of her childhood and teenhood, Citrus was employed by her father, helping him out in the workshop with menial tasks, and later handling finances and customer dealings. In her adulthood, Citrus was unemployed for several years until joining the Resistance.

Accomplishments & Achievements

During Citrus's high school years, she had really improved academically, and by the time graduation came about, she had achieved the role of salutatorian, much to the pride of Apricot. Right after graduation, she and Apricot went to a restaurant and later a movie to celebrate the occasion. Another big achievement of Citrus' is earning a bachelor's degree in automotive technology. It had always been a dream of hers to be able to work with cars and other vehicles for a living, and now she can finally do it. Her father and mother were very proud of her.

Failures & Embarrassments

Just like anybody, Citrus Fox has had a fair share of failure and embarrassment in her life. One very memorable moment happened when she was just 7 years old. By this time, her father had begun to allow her to work with him in the shop. She was still very inexperienced and was prone to accidents. No matter how hard her father tried to prevent it, she always managed to knock something over or unscrew a nut, and everything went bad. This was one such moment.
 
A customer of her fathers', who also happened to be a good friend of his, came over to have his car inspected. It was an expensive vehicle and painted in a stunning shade of red. The car was having some engine trouble and the owner didn't know what it was all about. Citrus' father left her alone for two minutes to discuss something with the customer, and in that time, she had managed to crawl underneath the car with a wrench and untighten a nut. Now at first glance, this may seem relatively insignificant.
 
But in fact, this was one of the worst things that 7-year-old Citrus could have done. A few minutes after the customer had left, an angry call came back. He told her father that a piece of his car had fallen off while he was doing 80 MPH on the freeway. The only person who could've done this was, you guessed it, Citrus. For committing this act, she was grounded for three weeks. That taught her the lesson to never mess with something that isn't yours.

Mental Trauma

Citrus has a reasonable amount of mental trauma to go along with her usually bubbly personality.
 
When she was just at the tender age of nine, her parents had to be put in the ICU after a bad accident with an experimental car. Citrus' father had invited her mother to a test drive of a new car that he and his team had been working on for five years. At first, her mother was skeptical of this new car's safety, but after lots of convincing, she donned the driver's suit and entered the car with her husband.
 
The first minute or two of the car's journey was actually pretty smooth. It accelerated to a speed of close to 100 miles per hour within ten seconds. The jet engine at its backside roared loudly and spat a bright blue and yellow flame. All was well, until it wasn't. All at once, the jet engine had a flameout, and control was lost. The steering wheel jerked to the side, which injured Citrus's father's hands.
 
The car flipped over a total of 15 times, twisting and crunching along the way. The launch team was sure that the drivers were dead. No way they survived. But, in fact, they miraculously survived by the skin of their teeth. When push came to shove, Citrus's parents were both severely injured and they were helivacced to the nearest hospital. The young Citrus, who at the time was being babysat by her aunt, was rushed to the hospital where her parents were, and she saw firsthand the damage done to them.
 
They both had many bone breakages and her father's skull was fractured in two places. The doctors were unsure of the Fox parents' survival, but they tried their hardest to keep them alive. In the end, their recovery took a full year to complete, and during that whole time, Citrus tried her best to stay upbeat, despite her parents' condition. Nowadays, it barely ever bothers her, but when it does, she gets quite sad.

Intellectual Characteristics

In terms of intellect, Citrus isn't too low on the totem pole. She might not look it, but she takes her education pretty seriously. She has a bachelor's in automotive technology and she had pretty good grades all throughout her life. She is dedicated to whatever she puts her mind to and breathes life into otherwise stale or boring projects.

Morality & Philosophy

Citrus does the best that a good person can do. She helps the homeless, donates to stray animal shelters, and participates in park and beach cleanups occasionally.

She sees the world, and the universe by extension, as a place where law and chaos are merely tools to use in bringing life, happiness, and prosperity to all deserving creatures.

She can build virtually anything, provided she has the proper tools and parts to do it! Citrus also likes to sing, but she doesn't have too good of a singing voice! She never reveals this hidden hobby in public for fear of humiliation. Her favorite song is one dedicated to Sonic the Hedgehog, called "His World" by the rock band Crush 40.
 
On the other hand, Citrus is not good at drawing, which is quite a hindrance for a person who designs and builds machines. She has taken some art lessons, but she has slacked off on them lately.
