Judging
I'm going to mix up the judging system a bit to try and even the playing field skill wise.  There will be three tiers, beginner, intermediate, and adv
It's pretty obvious what I based this little guy off of, I could not resist having him being squirrel-like. *laughs* I apologize if the info is a bit lengthy, I've been thinking of how to develop his character for the past few days and in between classes-- I have too much thinking time on my hands. TwT

Type: Helpful? (in a way... if you really like fuzzy fruit)

Job/Info:
Fruit Fuzzer is a busy Fluke that is very passionate about his job. This little guy works all hours of the day, almost non-stop. His very sensitive light long whiskers come in handy when navigating in the dark to sense when someone or something is coming. (Please do not tug them, he'll get very angry and cry) If he does sense danger of being seen, his reactions are swift and almost reflex-like, using his powerful leaping hind legs to make a jump for a quick getaway just when the time comes. His leaps are fast enough for him not to be seen by humans even if he jumps right in front of their faces. (which he often does due to last-minute escapes) Being very light and unraveling his tail allows him to soar very long distances.

Much like the fruit he's put in charge of, he is extremely fuzzy. Although he looks very soft, his fur is irritating to the touch, much like kiwifruit at times. His tail does tend to get under people's noses when he takes a daring leap in front of their face, often causing some people's lips to tingle. Contact with the underside of his tail will also leave a lingering smell of kiwis.

His nimble "hands" move very fast, just perfect for fuzzing up peaches and other fuzzy fruits to perfection. (he's quite the perfectionist and neat to a tee...) His tail however is exclusively for applying to kiwifruit, in fact it even adds bits of its fur to the kiwi to make it even fuzzier. It probably isn't surprising that he is very fond of kiwis, sometimes treating them as his own "children" by curling his tail around them or laying over them to keep them warm. Usually he can tell what's a fruit and what isn't, but every so often he may attempt to fuzz up baby birds or teddy bear-- one of which gets him pecked at, so it doesn't take him long to realize his mistake.

He is basically a workaholic, taking his job so seriously he doesn't want to do anything else; not even socialize. On the rare occurrence he sees one of his own, he will act as if they do not exist and keep focusing on his tasks. He might give them a few looks or more if their job helps his.

It's pretty difficult to get to know him past his obsession with fuzzing every fruit he sees. The only hint to emotions he gives is puffing up his neck fur when alert or angry. Perhaps he has much deeper desires... not that he'll every expose them. Some things he keeps to himself is the reason behind his tail always being curled up. in reality he finds his tail embarrassing to keep unrolled, only uncurling it when tending to kiwis or leaping very long distances. Another hidden fact about Fuzzer is his enjoyment for leaping from fruit bush to fruit bush outside. Despite his desire to skip around outside, he spends most of his time inside due to his "clients" being there the most.

OH Due to his perfectionist and neat nature, he has a habit of rubbing his badge until it's all sparkly and clean.

Edit: Aw man, I forgot to add that his "nose" is actually his mouth, here's a doodle example!:
