[Also, have a few more images.]Tiberius the rabbit is on the small side, taking after his father, Captain Falafel, in most regards (including his upright ears)--he is just a bit bigger (and a tad longer of ear) than a dwarf rabbit of his equivalent age. He is a dark gray, nearly black, with a much lighter gray underbelly and a more subtle gray mark on his left foreleg that resembles the Starfleet
insignia (because this amuses the mun). His most striking feature, however, is that like his owner, he has curious blue eyes.
Coming from a seeming line of light colored rabbits (Pancakes, his mother, is mostly white with dark spots and ears, but his litter-mates and father are light-colored), he is literally the black sheep of the family. This is somewhat reflected in his personality as well; Tiberius is an explorer, and while he still jumps at loud noises or quick movements the way any rabbit would, he is much more likely to
boldly go approach any strange person or object brought into his domain. And he, of course, believes the entire apartment is pretty much fair game as his 'domain,' not just
Triela's room or
his hutch. As a side note, he seems to prefer to approach girls/women first and seems to recognize his own name (as well as a few variants, such as "Tibby" or "Tibbles"). He is also known to nibble/chew/shred any newspaper he can get his paws on (basically anything left on the floor). While he may elect to nibble on strange objects, he won't bite unless he feels really threatened and is more likely to thump a warning before doing so. On the occasions when he is taken outside of the apartment he will still explore a bit, however he does tend to stay reasonably close to his owner and will generally run to her if spooked.
Tiberius' name comes from
the second Roman Emperor, essentially following Triela's recently started second scheme for naming her stuffed bears at home in Italy (which started with her stuffed bear Augustus after she got more than seven--her previous scheme had been naming them after the Disney's Snow White's seven dwarves). This naming after royalty might explain his mild air of entitlement (as far as a rabbit can have an air of entitlement, that is).
Apart from the usual leafy greens (and carrot tops) that rabbits like, he likes alfalfa hay and seems to have a particular fondness for apples, in spite of the fact that too much apple will make him ill, as well as crunchy/crusty bits of dark breads (which are less bad for him)--if you've got either of these treats on you, expect the following behavior until you give it up:
