Background:
Appleaf originates from the lush orchards and scenic groves of Foodlandia, where apples grow crisp and juicy. According to Foodlandian legend, Appleaf was created from the purest and most delicious apples, each one infused with the spirit of vitality and health. The smooth, red (or green) surface of its body symbolizes freshness and vigour.
Appleaf begins life as a Doodie hanging from an apple tree, and when ripe detaches from the tree and ventures out into the world. As Appleaf grows, it evolves into a Dooder, increasing its strength, speed, and ability to jump and climb. Appleaf likes to hide in human fridges, and sometimes among other Food Doods in kitchen fruit bowls. Appleaf usually likes cold temperatures, but can transform with heat into delicious, sweet desserts for humans. When it transforms into an Apple, it offers both sweet and sour flavours to humans.
Strengths:
Appleaf has armoured waxy skin with different colours usually green or red. As a Doodie its limbs are under-developed, so it relies on rolling to move fast, but can float in water easily. As a Dooder, Appleaf has increased mobility, can run, jump, climb and is a pretty good swimmer. When Appleaf evolves into a Doodastator it grows larger in size, with a significant increase in strength and power. Appleaf is a Fruitable, and can beat Grainies.
Appleaf uses its chromium stores to release a rapid surge of sugar-charged energy, delivering a swift and unpredictable strike that stuns and slows opponents for several minutes.
Appleaf assembles a dome of interlinked DNA strands around itself, each glowing with folate. The matrix deflects attacks and rapidly repairs any damage with accelerated recovery.
Appleaf activates its Vitamin A restoration, healing injuries and enhancing visual ability to the point of seeing molecular detail, is able to see in the dark, and any object 5km away.
Weaknesses:
Appleaf likes the cold, and if left in warm weather too long, can go brown, wrinkly and end up growing mould all over it. Appleaf struggles to defend itself against repeated attacks and can become bruised easily if overusing its Gene Guard Matrix defence. Appleaf is a Fruitable and vulnerable to attacks from Protevores and Ockazionals.
Connections:
Appleaf likes to go solo, but can team up with other Food Doods to make delicious foods for humans. When Appleaf teams up with other Fruitables, it can transform into fruit salad, and when it teams up with Grainies like pastry it can transform into delicious apple pie.
