Yoshi
Pack animal. Mindless beast. Walking stomach. Why does everyone view me and my kind as such? Many don't know this, but one of my ancestors actually protected the great Mario brothers when they were but helpless babies. But now even they have forgotten the sacrifices my grandfather had made, and treat me like a disposable animal just like the others. Despite the other's opinion, I'm actually intelligent; it's just that my language is rather different and I can only talk in a little English. Alas, if only everyone would understand that before making crude judgments. The reason why I eat so much is because it's an instinctual habit of my species to store food and then feed it to the young. But since I am the only one of my kind here, it has changed into an uncontrollable disorder that causes me to consume massive amounts of food. Every time I have an episode, I'm bombarded by saddening memories of family and friends at my home that I had to leave behind. And it doesn't help that everyone jokes and pokes fun at me during those stressful moments. When I was forced to compete here by circumstances way beyond my control, I have tried to make the best of it, but all it has done is turn me into a shameful addict. All I have to ask it, why?
