Dot
Supporting all the TCB Team
Hi there! It’s so nice to meet you! My name is Dot!
To tell you a bit more about myself, I’m a diplodocus, a kind of dinosaur! I would say that I’m a mix of lazy and uchi personalities; I love spending time inside my house (mostly to nap), but once I’m outside, I love to stretch, dance, and sing! I also love to eat, and my favourite food is a popsicle! I can eat them in every season, including winter. My favourite K.K. Slider song is Stale Cupcakes. I love listening to it before bed and after I wake up in the morning, it makes me feel so calm!
