Taffy, AKA "Salt-Water" Taffy, is a Foozle who lives in the town of Nude Beach on planet Boink.

Personality
Taffy is, by her own admission, a hedonistic little beach slut. She lives for the beach, and can usually be found out on the sands, or out in the water of Nude Beach's various beachfronts, where she isn't shy about flaunting herself at anyone willing to look. Truth be told, she has a bit of an aqua fetish, so splashing around in the tropical waters, soaking in a hot tub, or washing herself off under the beach showers keeps her in a near-constant state of sexual arousal. Getting wet gets her wet, basically. And she isn't embarrassed about taking matters into her own hands out in public, if there's nobody close at hand to take care of them for her.
Appearance
Taffy's body markings are primarily blank white, but with secondary coloriation in a bright seafoam green. She prefers full nudity, but will on occasion also be spotted in skimpy swimwear which is made from fabric which remains transparent while wet. She almost always has on her favorite pukka-shell necklace, and will sometimes also wear a tropical flower over one ear, Hawaiian style. She is also known to wear various bands on her antenna, striped in the colors usually associated with salt water taffy. These and her nickname are affectations which speak specifically to her presentation of herself as being an integral part of the local beach-going experience: Come to Nude Beach, and enjoy some Salt Water Taffy.
History
Before Boink was purchased and opened up to Foozles as a homeworld, Taffy was a programmer at a large tech firm, working a day to day grind 9-to-5 in a stress-filled office complex. On the day that she received the invitation to move to Boink, she quit her job, changed her name and her coloring, and took up residence among the nudists, surfers and beach babes on Boink's sun-drenched shores. She prefers not to discuss life before moving to Boink, considering her total abandonment of her former identity to be a clean break. She will say only that she used to be a modest, obedient little worker drone in a stuffy, stifling environment, and that once she got out she will never go back. However, on occasion her former tech skills have come into play, specifically in regards to helping Rockweed keep the antique and well-worn jukebox at The Record Pit operational, as well as assisting him in maintaining the creaky desktop computer which holds the shop's inventory system.
Residence
Taffy is one of several Foozles and Delos who reside in a building called The Mushroom House. This is an elevated, mushroom-shaped apartment that somewhat resembles something out of the works of Roger Dean. Among the other residents are Yam, and Rockweed. Pongo and Honeyblush can often be found hanging out there too. This house is essentially open to anyone who wants to crash there, and it has become a sort of home base for the local surfer crowd, as it is conveniently close to the waves, and also The Record Pit and Tiki Totem's the local beachfront restaurant/bar.
