7 (dice ferret)

There's a girl in some of my classes who wears a long black coat.

Okay, there are a lot girls in my classes like that, but this one's coat is really big, wide as well as long. She reminds me of this girl from home who wears a hooded sky blue cape. (Is that a cloak? Or a cowl? Who knows these things?) She puts it on after putting on her backpack, thus she looks kinda like a hunchback. Or a mound. She's into anime and fantasy and trading card games, all that modern D&D stuff. She carries around many-sided dice for such purposes. And she tells people to call her the Dice Ferret.

So this other girl here looks like the Dice Ferret; They both have broad, round Asian faces and girl-style bowl-cut black hair. But the real similarity is their gait. They kinda amble around, not in a hurry to anywhere with a sort of befuddled expression, like they're lost, but not especially concerned. It makes me think of the people who wear the animal costumes with big heads at theme parks. Or Teletubbies or Barney or other kids television shows with giant puppet creatures. I guess what I'm saying, is that if my life were a television this girl would be Baby Bop.
