Twinkles the Milkturtle

Twinkles is a friendly milkturtle who regularly stops by the tavern and the beach. They’re a good-natured little thing that enjoys company and tries to help the pirates by offering friendship and turtle milk. Despite being a tortoise, they seem to be intelligent and understand spoken language, although they can’t respond vocally.

Backstory
Long ago, Twinkles was Tiwran, one of the old gods of the island. Now, they are cursed to walk the place in the form of a harmless turtle. The scarlet collar ensures that their power stays limited and they can’t return to what they used to be. In the many centuries since that happened, they’ve resigned to their fate and accepted life as a milkturtle, determined to make the most of it. Mostly, they're in it for the pats and the shell scritches.

Appearance
Twinkles looks like most milkturtles do; a tortoise with an ever-present happy smile, a green colouration, and a glass of milk on their shell. The only difference is the red collar they wear, which has a silvery coin-shaped pendant hanging from it. One side of the pendant has a “T” engraved in it, whereas the other side reads “Twinkles the Milkturtle”.

Personality
Twinkles is a friendly milkturtle that loves company and helping others. They offer their milk freely to whoever seems to need it, although they get sad when their offer is rejected. The turtle worries about those who are hurt, and offers companionship to those who are upset. All in all, they’re a nice, wholesome being.

Abilities & Skills

 * The glass of milk on their back always seems to magically refill itself after having been consumed.
 * The milk from the glass has restorative properties. It helps with dehydration, hunger, and even has minor healing abilities (lessening pain, closing small cuts, etc.).
 * Like most tortoises, they're quite good at digging.

Other Information

 * If the glass from their back is removed for longer than a minute, Twinkles gets increasingly more nervous and stressed out.
 * The glass seems to be unbreakable. Throwing it at full force or shooting it doesn't even leave a scratch.
 * Twinkles has a burrow in the beach.
 * Long, long ago, Twinkles was the one who sealed away the Jester, banishing him to the void.
