Just never stops amusing me these poor mice living from hand to mouth (Jonathan somehow had a magical amulet, then it got to Elizabeth who then gave it to Justin in canon) have this amulet of incredible magical powers... and it's probably full ruby.

I recall I made Elizabeth have amulet in her possession again after some incident in rat colony where amulet wasn't safe anymore - no one would first think to look some field mouse family.

Brisby could move to a colony but I feel just like Jonathan and Mr. Ages, her stubborn field mouse mind is leading her to try it on her own. Even at verge of poverty and spending a lot of time trying to find them food and necessities, she believes she can make it just like she did with Jonathan.

In my hcs Auntie Shrew is even more involved helping her, but she is growing old. At some point, she is going to voice she cannot ensure children safety. She is weak and not fast enough to intervene... nor take fulltime responsibility of them should something happen to Elizabeth. She should look for other mice or at least someone to unite with Auntie's old fashioned piece of advice: find a new husband. Awful, but that statement would make her think is she being selfish trying to do it on her own.

( for @le-chateau-fromage ! hello again!) "Phew! They are gone..."

Used to peak of adrenaline rush each day, quiet steps take the mouse to the curtain of cloth, shifting it aside just a bit for her eye to have a peek outside. No soul in sight, or sounds of panic in the air, as it often was when people had seen likes of her. When they were determined to find whatever small animal had sneaked in. Perhaps, they had just barely made it without detected. Of course, she cannot be sure, as she is merely thinking through former experience.

"...they sure are. I am not sure if they even know about us..." confirmed Elizabeth, humming thoughtfully before letting go of the cloth, may it cover their hiding place. Now, her shaking hand finds a rest over her own chest. Back turned towards Palomine, she hopes the light gasp and deep sigh of relief doesn't raise concern. A moment of convincing herself they may relax, the wild mouse turns to face the other rodent.

Jeremy: As your number one henchman, shall I deal with them? Elizabeth: what no-

[courcgecus]

❝ do you remember me? my name is—ah, nevermind. ❞ Rose stopped herself from introducing herself. It has been a while and she wasn't sure if the older mouse remembered her or not.

Life had set both challenges and opportunities upon the mouse family. It was difficult to start over, settle and make a home into a place without knowledge whether it would be theirs the next following years, or even the next year. Sometimes, after long days of exhausting work and scavenging, Mrs. Brisby might find herself walking an old route home. An old home. That's right, they just recently moved. But she used to frequent these streets, getting to know its residents and businesses.

Long hours outside, children falling ill one after another. Her mind already drifting towards thoughts of evening errands - Rose might greet Mrs. Brisby's distant gaze, barey focusing before spoken to.

" ...O-oh." light returns behind those eyes, with a quick brush of her palm Elizabeth finally creates a tired smile. " Rose, was it? My goodness it has been time... I used to walk here almost every day." || @thespiritofwillow

[courcgecus]

❝ did you miss me? ❞ (whoop it's the mouse king)

For what felt like eternity, the walls around her shook, the ear piercing screeches of claws trying attach around slippery surface of the porcelain. Suddenly it all came to stop, leaving Elizabeth in pitch darkness under a cup worn and chipped over ages on ground, yet still in shape. A perfect shield for the field mouse to take cover under.

She waits, frozen in befallen silence.

Was it playing her into a false sense of security... or could there be a threat far greater?

But hat voice, she could recognize anywhere. Out of all mice, only one might be feared by rats, even cats.

" Your majesty!" small hand quickly lifts the cup so she may peer out, already on her knees, she slowly crawls out on her two. Ensuring her old cape and the bag of food and other necessities was still in her possession. Otherwise, she had barely made it for nothing!

" ...Oh, I certainly did! and, I am the most grateful! I couldn't have asked a bigger miracle..." then, she remembers his hatred of magic. "...of coincidence!"

" But what brings the king of the mice here... underneath this humble house?" || @warncdandwiles

Got obsessed with Mina the Hollower, a video game that recently came out. Can’t stop help but imagine her voice being Brisby’s with a slightly more aggressive and hardened personality and mannerisms.

I think I once posted a clip from a film with Eli.zabeth Hart.man (Brisby's VA) from a movie (which name I cannot remember - I'd have attached it here if I remembered when was it and from what was it...) of a scene where the acted character was angry. It was pretty convincing tbh, so she definitely would have the lungs for it!

[courcgecus]

Just was envisioning Mrs. Brisby meeting the cast of Toy Story the other night and then I remembered this blog existed, glad I found it again after all these years.

Hello! :D Glad to hear you remembered my blog! ^^ I have been on / off a while but never abandoned my mouse! I needed a break after writing her for almost... 10 years! (oh goodness)

About meeting Toy Story and potentially other toy characters: yes! I think it would work perfectly. I'd imagine she would be very comfortable interacting with characters closer to her size than bigger characters ( as a mouse, she is always cautious at first. One wrong move and someone could hurt her, even if they didn't intend to ) + she could interact toy cars, doll houses, doll clothes etc. A lot of opportunities!

Jared Cullum. The Secret of NIMH

[courcgecus]

Okay but she would qualify for every fairy tale princess standard

[courcgecus]

In rodent scale, Elizabeth has a small family with merely four kids. Mice & rodents have huge families, she herself comes from very large one with her youngest siblings in crib while she already moved out to build a life of her own. And then she met Jonathan.

[courcgecus]

Elizabeth's seems to gravitate towards two types

never-stopped-dreaming big, daring to stand up, 'don't worry I got this', 'there is always solution I just need to come up with it', getting into trouble and resolving it, passionate about something they want to accomplish, like a wind... silly

calm & careful how others see them, 'i'll think about it' -> actually does it without flashy announcements, understands realities in life and makes calculated choice rather than following heart calling, diplomatic, wall that doesn't budge if you need to lean onto, like a rock
