Here's my entry! I spent way too much time on these, but I don't care. :) She's really fun to draw and the design is so pretty! Space/Click for next image, story below. Name: Bryony Age: 18 Pronouns: She/her Sexuality: Bisexual As a child, Bryony adored exploring the spacious forest near her town. Her family warned her against it, especially after she broke her tail falling off a rock at twelve, a break that never really healed properly. Bryony was stubborn, however, and continued spending hours of time within the forest. Unbeknownst to her, the time spent in those woods took their toll on her. The woods had been cursed for centuries. Although no one knew the exact circumstances surrounding the curse, or even knew it existed, enough of a legend remained that everyone refused to enter the woods. Bryony didn't care, however. She believed the others' refusal to enter the woods was only born out of an ancient superstition. She was partially correct. The superstition was very old, and the curse had faded over time. A brief foray into the woods likely wouldn't of harmed anyone. However, Bryony spent hours in the forest at a time, and the curse of the forest seeped into her mind, encouraging her to spend even more hours within. As time passed, Bryony became more and more paranoid. She became convinced that her family was plotting to murder her, and that her boyfriend, Liaan, was with someone else behind her back. She began spending more and more time away from her family, either wandering the woods or stalking Liaan, hoping to catch and expose him. Of course, she was unsuccessful, but this did nothing to change her mind. Eventually, she left the town completely, and wandered the forest for days. Fear of her family poisoning her led to Bryony to eat berries she found in the woods. She didn't know they were poisonous holly berries. By that time, however, the curse had taken complete hold over her, and she could no longer die. She wanders the forest still, in constant agony from the holly berries that will never end. You can recognize her by the leaves matted through her fur that she no longer bothers to remove, and by her crooked tail.
