My new babe, Yarrow!
I don't know quite a lot about her just yet seeing as I only just got down her design but I do have some floating ideas and tropes for her to explore. For one, you may notice she's half Orca pelt, half Owl pelt and that's just because I couldn't figure out which one I liked most so I combined them but for story reference, I may just see what I can do.
She is a witch fawn in need of a mentor to guide her.
While not or ever malicious or cruel like the idea tends to be painted, she is very much just a little girl fascinated with the world and wanting to understand it with an open heart.
She is an orphan.
Born into a nomadic tribe, Yarrow lived peacefully with her family until a group of dire wolves attacked them viciously and drove them out. Forcing them out of the forest and to wherever else, the tribe was sent on their way with little to no food. Her mother and father knew little about this strange land and with their injuries from the attacks were too weak to venture further. Not wanting their daughter's last memories of them to be fraught with pain, they had called on the help of the gods to take her elsewhere from here and asked that her mind be free of this memory. That they could be forgotten in their dying hours.
With pain laced breaths, they summoned what little magic they had in their weakened bodies.
Now Yarrow is not entirely certain how she ended up in the Endless Forest.
She believes she could have been born here but despite this strange burning desire to agree that yes, yes she was born here, her mind restlessly wrestles with the sharp ache that tells her this is wrong.
Everything she tries to think back far enough to a time she surely must have had parents she has nothing but a dull ache in her head and a heavy heart.
