### Physical Description

**Anthropomorphic rat** gym bro — reads as rat first, gym second. Tank top with neon GAS lettering, sweatband, dumbbell charm on a chain; prominent ears, whiskers, bare tail; snout/muzzle in proportion to the rat head (not a flat human face with ears glued on). In the silent cutaway: mid-hype pose with both arms up, mouth open mid-cheer, neck cords visible — the full body of a shout, none of the sound arriving. Pumps both fists rhythmically three times at nothing in particular. **Name matches species:** rat, literally.
