FERN || Art || Dtae #1

Instructions

Last time I entered I didn't have the best luck so I'm trying again with my good ol' alternate art style I was talking about! You guys may or may not remember me mentioning it a few times before ^v^ I dOn'T liKe iT Sorry I didn't put the right ears! I kinda didn't notice until last minute^^' Bio: Name: Fern/Millie/Toast (I like it!) Gender: Female Pronouns: She/they Personality: Adventurous, lively, extroverted, and positive, but also calm. She is very stealthy though, and very quiet, agile, and fast. Appearance: Tail is a dango and plant sprouts are growing from her head. Coat is mainly browns, a very pale off-white and cream, with an accent color of green. She has a brown-ish orange bandana and a brown pouch where she keeps plant sprouts. Backstory: Millie lived on the edge of a very mossy and dense forest full of ancient trees with beautiful green scenery. She lived in a cabin with her mother, the back facing the forest, the front facing a vast grassland with tall slopes and another distant forest on the horizon. She was surrounded by the ancient forest, and so was the grassy clearing. The clearing was miles upon miles long, with the huge forest surrounding it on all sides. Her mother was born into a group/tribe that was very hated for unclear reasons. So her mother took her newly born child, Millie, away, so that her kids would grow up very well and safe. They were tucked away in the safety of their little area. Millie had never even explored the whole clearing, it would take hours anyways, and she hadn't gone very far into the forest. But she always knew that if she wanted to, she would never be bored because she could always explore all of it since it was too big to explore in one day, or four, or ten! And on top of that, new things, interesting things, happened every day in every spot! She spent most, if not all of her time outside, just hanging out in nature. Doing anything and everything from walking along fallen trees, to laying in the long grass of the hills. Or even running through the grass and climbing the trees. Her mother was always very loving and worried for her, and was very anxious about her. But she never doubted for a second that her daughter couldn't take care of herself. She always had to come in the cabin around dinner time and would maybe be able to sit on the porch for a moment, but never be allowed to go out at night, for logical reasons of course. She lived a peaceful life but all good things come to an end. She got attacked by a bear and got her leg injured. Her front right leg had a sort of leaf wrap around it with a stick in between it. She was wandering just a little bit further into the forest than she has ever been. But of course, luck wasn't on her side. A patrol had seen this area and found it suspicious. They were coming through, obviously searching for her mother and possibly her. She stumbled awkwardly to a space under the roots of a tree, with moss hanging down from the roots. She looked up with wide, innocent eyes, as the patrol walked past her. Instantly it hit her. Her mother was back there. She got up and ran, one of the hardest decisions in her life. She ran for days. Until she got out of the forest. But she did a massive U-turn at the very edge of the forest and headed across the left outskirt of the huge, massive, clearing, steering well clear of where she lived. She finally reached the end of the forest that used to be seen on the horizon from her home. She met someone by the name of nightshade (an unreleased character of mine) who took her in. She healed her leg (not right away kjhjjghjgjhggfjdhfhjrfh) and then later moved her away, with a cat by the name of Estelle, who was older than her. Nightshade was like a mother figure to them, except tough, well respected, and mostly cold. She was more empathetic towards Millie and Estelle since she viewed them as her own children. Estelle seemed to take on Nightshade's personality as she got older, and eventually joined NIGHTSHADE an organization named after their own "mother". Whenever Estelle or Millie got in trouble, Nightshade would take the fall as she was their legal guardian, but would be pretty disappointed at them and they would be at themselves. Millie later changed her name to Fern, since she couldn't be recognized, and became an assassin, who, when not working, enjoys nature, calm, relaxing, and other things.
