Arabella (Strawberry)
Lilith (Blueberry)
They Were Born Under The Names Lilith (Lili) and Arabella (Ara) Gordon.
They Are 18 Years Old.
They Are Females.
They Are Here Because Ara and Lili are mutated Siamese twins. Ara is mutated as part Salamander and Lilith as part Sea Snake. Lili’s body is made completely of blue snakelike scales except for her face, the palms of her hands and the bottoms of her feet. She is able to move like a snake and create a weak venom in her body. Ara has pinkish fins attached to her the side of her hands and feet as well as patches of pink salamander skin all over her body. Both girls being amphibious have gills allowing them to breathe underwater, and both excel underwater, Ara especially because of her fins.
Ara really enjoys Swimming, playing cards, cloud watching and staring down the visitors at the Zoo.
Lilith really enjoys Being alone (or at least pretending to be alone,) reading, poetry and playing cards.
Ara Really Hates Not being acknowledge as a separate person from Lili, losing, being left out of the loop and being called Arabella.
Lilith Really Hates Not being acknowledge as a separate person from Ara, socializing, when Ara decides what they are going to do for both of them and her father.
What Really Scares Ara Is Losing Lili and extended periods away from water.
What Really Scares Lilith Is Losing Ara, despite what she says and thinking about what is under her scales.
Their Story Goes Something Like This: Ara and Lilith were born as Siamese twins, due to the complicated birth process though their mother died days after they were born. Their father blamed the girls for his wife’s death and when they were five he sold their parental rights over to a scientist who wanted to ‘experiment on Siamese twins.’ He mutated them into their current states before poking and prodding them to his heart’s desires, when they were eight he decided he was done with them and sent them of to the Zoo to live out the rest of their lives. It is here they have spent their last ten years. Neither of them has a problem with the Zoo, or the enclosures, at least they aren’t alone like the rest of the freaks. They only wish they knew what the outside world was like.
Even If They Are Freaks, They Have Personalities... Lilith’s personality is almost that of the snake she mutated into. Lili likes to keep her cards close to her chest, She maintains a shy, sweet and almost reclusive personality until you get too close. Not even Ara knows what will happen when people get close to Lili. She will either snap at you with her fangs and or let you get close enough to realize that she isn’t as cold and slimey as her scales make her look, that in reality Lilith is quite warm and smooth. This is meant in a physical way as well as in a social way. Ara’s initial personality is almost the opposite of her sister’s, Ara is blunt and doesn’t play social games, she likes to get to the point of things. She’s the type of person who always reads the last page of the book before reading it. The closer you get with Ara the more you realize, that with Ara what you see is what you get, she’s an open book and doesn’t hold part of her personality back. They both seem to agree though when it comes to the visitors to the Zoo, they both refuse to do ‘tricks’..
Wait! One More Thing! The girls are joined at the hip in a way that they can both stand next to each other but also be back to back..

Moving on to our next freak...
Writing Sample?
Ara watched the people walk on by their cage after staring at them and taking a few pictures. Ara felt personally degraded every time people stared at her and her sister. She caught the eye of a little boy who was staring at them like they were freaks. Okay, so they were technically freaks, but hey, they still had feelings! Ara sent the boy the scariest most menacing face she could manage and successfully sent him off crying to his mother. She hoped he had nightmares. Normally she would have felt better about her accomplishment but today she just wasn’t feeling it.
Lilith watched her sister scare off the little boy and hoped that it would cheer Ara up but if anything she seemed even more depressed.
“Okay, enough with the moping and sighing, you’ve been doing it all morning, whats up?” Lili finally asked hesitantly.
Ara looked longing over at the pool of water in the inclosure as if it was calling her name. “Nothing.” Ara said roughly before continuing as quietly as she could manage, “I just really want to swim right now.”
Lili had to strain her ears to hear her sister and when she did she had to stop a smiling passing over her face. “Then swim, what’s stopping you. Ar-ah-bell-ah” she said teasingly.
Ara clenched her fists to stop herself from physically harming her sister. She been in this situation long enough to realize getting in a fight with someone who was always with you was not a good idea. There was nothing stopping her from shooting Lili a withering glare though. “I refuse to swim in front of these people and you know it. That’s just what they want, ‘tricks’ and I refuse to play.”
“Yes, yes I’ve heard it all before Ara and while I completely agree can we at least sit down? My legs are killing me.” Lili asked exasperatedly, Ara had forced them to pace their enclosure for a good half hour before this.
“Fine.” Ara replied wistfully while the two sat down in the grass.
The sisters spent the rest of the day in companionable silence together. Ara watching the clouds roll by imagining a life of freedom beyond the walls of the Zoo and Lilith reading her new book for the third time.
(I will change this if your idea of the enclosures don't fit my ideas I just wanted to submit this right away, I got excited :) )
