Lemmy Hip Koopa
Common Nicknames: Hip, Lem Lem, Lem
Species: Jungle/Volcanic Dragon-Koopa Hybrid
Birthdate: February 24th, 19X6
Egg Color: Light green with yellow and orange spots.
History: Lemmy's mother, Tianna Spiks, bore two eggs - Lemmy's egg, and Iggy's egg. The two of them were twins. At least, they were supposed to be. Lemmy, even inside his egg, knew that he was not alone in the world, and felt a special connection... somewhere. Not to his mother, but to someone. He just hadn't a clue yet, still being an egg and all.
After being hatched, his mother cared for her young son, but not enough. She was too worried about her other son, Iggy, who's egg had taken serious damage. He did not hatch when he was supposed to, and Ludwig had taken him away to be incubated and healed. Lemmy, however, was unaware of this and felt neglected by his mother. She herself had a few problems, but little Lemmy wouldn't know. He wasn't a genius like his older brother. If anything, his mind was slower than it should have been.
With feelings of neglect spiraling in his brain, he investigated the problem. He soon found Ludwig and his unhatched brother while crawling around the castle. Well, actually, Ludwig saved him from being eaten alive by Piranha Plants, but that was beside the point. He became close to Ludwig, wanting to always be at his side. Was this the special person in the world he felt connected to? Maybe.
Ludwig taught him to speak (although it was a tedious and very hard process due to his incapability to understand. He's very slow.), as well as read, but he could not for the life of him teach his poor baby brother to walk. By age 3, he was still crawling around or ordering slaves to push him around in his little wagon. Ludwig, although tending to Iggy's damaged egg, could not for the life of him figure out why Lemmy could not walk. Kamek and Kammy hadn't a clue either. Maybe he was destined not to walk?
Lemmy, however, soon discovered the art of "Bawl Balwencing". Ball Balancing was how he could walk! Ludwig had dug up a ball for him to play with, and Lemmy had somehow climbed on top of it, and presto! The kid was walking! Of course, he popped it, but Ludwig was amazed anyhow. He created a ball for Lemmy to walk on, and Lemmy was able to finally move freely. He learned to control the ball, stand in place, and do all sorts of amazing tricks with it.
Soon after this amazing discovery, he realized his mother still didn't have any more eggs. In fact, Bowser wouldn't let her. One of his sons didn't hatch, and the other (Lemmy) had serious developmental problems due to Tianna's behavior while they forming and as eggs. Lemmy rarely spent time with her though, seeing as she barely paid any attention to him. Instead, he spent time with Ludwig in his lab. He loved her, but not as much as he loved Ludwig and Bowser, as well as the other Koopalings and the other mothers. And, especially his unhatched brother. Iggy.
Personality: Lemmy has a very kid-like behavior. He is immature and care-free, often times not really caring much about the job he had been assigned to do. In fact, he seems more interested in joining the circus rather than doing schemes and beating up bros. He is very naive and has a kid-like innocence to him. He likes playing with toys and doing kid things, such as playing tag and "Hip-Scotch", and playing with bouncy-balls. He has a very short-term memory, and often times he forgets what he's doing or saying while in the middle of it. His father and the other Koops, on multiple occasions, have called him many slur words for dumb. But, he does have a more serious side to him, and this can come out when his family is in danger.
Hobbies: Lemmy, being so young in the head, enjoys kiddish activities such as coloring and playing with toys. After being born, he liked to color a whole lot. So much so that he even colored on Iggy's egg before Ludwig took it away. As he grew older in age, his hobbies switched from coloring to playing with toys, and from playing with toys to helping Ludwig out in the lab. His favorite thing to do, however, is to practice tricks on his bouncy ball and perform them in front of his whole family.
Abilities: Lemmy's abilities are very limited due to his small size and brain capacity. he can, like all Koopas, retreat his head and limbs into his shell by extending his spikes outward, making room for himself. He rarely does it, however, due to always being atop his ball.
Unlike most Dragon-Koopas, he does not have the HammerSpace ability, since he is so small and has not grown enough to have one develop. It irks him very much knowing all his other siblings have one, but he tries not to let it get to him.
He, just like Ludwig, can breathe fireballs, but they are often small and he can only flame about 1 - 2.
With the help of his magic wand, he can summon "clones" (which are really goombas in disguise) of himself, as well as use homing fireballs. However, his real talent lies in that of bombs. Bombs are his main weapon of choice because, according to him, "They look like balls, but they go KAPPOEy!". He seems to be very strong, as he can throw bombs triple times his weight. He also uses bouncy balls, and sometimes he gets them lined with spikes for extra danger.
Lemmy is also skilled in doing flips and tricks and all sorts of acrobatics, which help him in battle.
Appearance: Lemmy is small. He's smaller than all the other Koopalings and is even smaller than Bowser Jr. Ludwig thinks that it has something to do with the developmental problems that occurred because his mother dropped his egg so much. Despite his size, he is very capable of doing as much as his siblings. This is thanks to the help of his ball, in which he rolls around on. He becomes practically triple his previous height and measures up to about Roy's shoulder, not including his mohawk.
Speaking of his mohawk, Lemmy's is yellow, pink, and cyan. It alternates between the three colors, stopping at cyan. He has a long yellow ponytail on the back of his head, but the tip seems faded and whiter than the rest. Lemmy's skin, like most of the other Koopaling's, is yellow, although it is more orangey. His head, like most, is green, although he does have to peculiar orange bars on the left side of his head. His tail is about the average size for a Koopaling of his size, and he uses it for stability and steering while on top of his ball. His chest, the underside of his feet, and the underside of his tail, just like all other Dragon-Koopas, are padded with pale plates that are nearly indestructible. His muzzle is pale, and he has no visible teeth, them all being too tiny to see. His pupils, surprisingly, actually are black. Unless he is focusing extremely hard, however, they are cross-eyed, with one looking the way he wants it to go, and the other facing somewhere off into space. It doesn't seem to affect him all that much. If anything, it actually helps his balance. The claws on his feet are sharper and longer than his siblings, as they help with balance (he refuses to get them cut).
Lemmy's shell is orange. He has 5 spikes, all being pale and surrounded by yellow ringlets. His shell originally started out as green but changed over time despite him not growing. His lack of spikes sometimes causes his shell to crack when he falls, but it's not anything a little magic from a skilled Magikoopa such as Kamek or Kammy can't fix.
Just like all his brothers, he wears cuffs that are ringed with spikes. These spikes are white, and the cuffs are black. they have fewer spikes on them compared to his brothers, as he is smaller than them (as evidenced).

-Lemmy collects all sorts of balls, and one day hopes to own every ball that ever existed.
-Lemmy draws and colors cards for his family all the time, and gives them to them as presents on random occasions.
-He absolutely adores the cold and snow, hence why he gets the colder worlds more often than not. Plus, his ball makes it so he doesn't slip on the ice!
-He has an imaginary friend named Weaseltooth, which Lemmy says is a frog who has a very bad potty mouth.
