Appearance

Greater Glider has blue eyes and black hair that presents two gray colored bangs at the side of her face, while the rest of her hair is gathered at the back of her head in a chignon-like hairstyle. Like other Friends, she has animal parts that fits her species, in this case round animal ears and a big gray tail that fades to black towards the bottom. She wears a classic maid outfit, that includes a black frilled dress with puff sleeves and fur cuffs, a white apron with a big white ribbon on her back and a white collar with a blue piece of jewelry and cloth. She has black legwear and black high heel shoes.

Light colored Greater Glider.

Greater Gliders are found in the east coast of Australia. They are the largest species in the Pseudocheiridae family, and the only ones who don't have a prehensile tail, despite being proportionally long. Greater Gliders have large furry ears, and the pataguim (gliding membrane) extends from the knee to the elbow, that still allows them to stay up in the air, but they show an awkward struggle when in the ground. They have more varied coloration than any other marsupial, with very long, dense fur that ranges from pure black to dusky browns, grays, yellow and almost white colors.

Greater Gliders live in tall woodlands and eucalyptus forests, being adapted to feed almost exclusively on their leaves. They usually need large patches of tall forests, preferring older forests with large number of hollows, and a single glider may maintain up to 20 tree-trunk dens at a time within its territory. This results in them being very sensitive to the fragmentation of their habitat due to logging or other forestry practices.
