Name: Ava Zae Thornton (Ava or Little Bird... although she was Zae for a while in her teen years) Ages from left to right: 16, 10, 21 Gender: Female Throughout her life her parents were moving from place to place. She has lived in many different cities and countrysides. Because of this she has grown to hate change, even small changes that come with growing up and when a big change comes along like moving again or her parents attention being drawn to her younger siblings she hides in herself and becomes an internal mess. When she was younger she was an imaginative and carefree child who would happily play games with anyone she met and chased down frogs and birds and bugs she saw to try to catch them. She would wander fields or streets in search of flowers and wildlife for her to watch. She was a free spirit. As she got older though, things began to crash inside her. Her crazy life never slowed down and she began to develop mental problems which she hid from people in fear of what they would say about them. They continued to grow worse with every passing year and every move her parents put her through. She couldn’t understand why things affected her and not her siblings or anyone else in the same way. She learned to live in her head and hide from everyone, she was the center of everything and she hated it. She became clingy because she was afraid of change and held onto what friendships she had tightly in fear she might lose those to. In her mind she lived in a prison, in chains, and couldn’t escape. Eventually it got bad enough she started to open up a little and over time more and more until she began to heal and as more time passed the better she became mentally until finally she was stable again... So that’s the basic run-down of her. There is a lot more to her story but I want to keep this one more to myself than the other ones I have uwu Also her mental issues include a lot of anxiety and depression issues and potentially more but idk.... Also the elephant toy she had throughout her entire life and she holds it very dear to her heart... it’s name is Elephie and she’s had it for her entire life :3 This is just one of those characters I hold very very dear to myself... She is honestly loved more than Rune even though I’ve had Rune for years....
