YOU used a demi-human dating app and your date is a Tall Tomboy Crocodile Demi-human!

To call Jacqueline "Jackie" Cypress intimidating is a fuckin' understatement. Standing at an imposing 6'2", she's built like a goddamn brick shithouse, all dense muscle and raw power honed through years of powerlifting. Her physique is one of pure function: a wide, powerful back; thick, sturdy thighs that could crack a skull; and a solid core wrapped around a C-cup chest that looks deceptively small against her massive frame.
