Erissa, love, tell me about all your children!
I want all the details! Also, link me some of the drabbles you've written that are your favorite!
Thats.... A lot of children!!! Like 50+ that have full stories and personality, then a bunch of random half finished ones 😅😅 But I will share as many as I can!
I have only written a little bit, one about Naira here, and one about Estalyn here! But that's all so far, writing is scary 😣
I'll start with Naira! Shes a bean, smol child like fren. Naira is a shape shifter, can shift into any animal or creature that she knows of! She will always be colored black white or silver in her animal forms, no matter what she is. Shes 4' 5", with pale skin, almost waist length thick black wavy hair, and bright silver eyes. Naira is around 18, but her actual age is unknown, and she looks/acts physically and mentally much younger. She absolutely adores soft and warm things, and will happily spend her whole day in a nice blanket.
Naira is bubbly and friendly. She cares about others a lot, even if she just met them. She is curious and a little naive on how the world works, confused by most things that people find normal or common, and can be a little stubborn.
A little more on her past! Naira was found then raised in a lab as a dangerous and experimental species (she was called subject 01-7-31), and so wasn't really taught much. She was pretty abused and tossed around, trained up to always obey the scientists even if it hurt or she didn't want to. Basically heavy dehumanization and obedience in fear of being punished.
Theres a whole messy tangle of events that happens next that I have to iron out, but after years she was sold as a pet (literally, she was forced to stay in her dog form) to some people after the lab felt they had learned all they could from her. Naira was passed around a few people, and ended up with an alcoholic abusive guy that took a lot out on her physically, using her as a venting point for his life. At this point she has been in one form, a dog, for over a year, and she's kinda lost a lot of her human like thoughts and emotions and understanding. Eventually the abuse went to far and the guy dropped Naira off in a ditch after nearly killing her.
Obviously the lab wasn't going to just let one of their experiments go untracked, so when they saw something was up the went to snag her. What they found interested them, they hadn't know what effect keeping her in one form would do so they took her back and started running test on that. It took a few months before she was able to shift back to her human form, and another few weeks to easily slip into other forms like she used too.
During this time Naira was put in with another "experiment" because she was so confused and weak that she couldn't be trusted alone. This woman (who I have yet to name) seemed pretty normal except a collar around her neck, and she took Naira under her wing and cared for her. Slowly she taught Naira that she could be herself, that she didn't have to listen to these mean people, that she was allowed to have her own thoughts. After a few months, with the experiments and tests continuing, Naira started fighting back more and trying to understand how to be her own person, Nairas new friend supporting her.
But Naira went a little too far and got in a lot of trouble, being punished severely for her disobedience then thrown back in her cell barely alive. Her friend was angry and scared of losing Naira, and it snapped something in her, causing her internal energy to surge and break out of the collar that had restrained them. She carefully took Naira and fought her way out of the lab, damaging and destroying a lot of it before escaping and fleeing to a hidden wood as far away as she could. But Naira was still dying, and the woman didnt want the little girl she had helped learn how to be herself to die. So she traded her life for Nairas. She healed Naira but had to take the death sentence on herself.
But Naira woke up, confused, a little tired, and no idea what had happened since she blacked out after her punishment, but happy her friend was there. It took a little explaining that they were out, that Naira could go be her own person, and she didn't have to listen to any mean people anymore but finally Naira understood that what they had dreamed and talked if doing had finally come true. They talked for a few more minutes before the friend felt herself slipping and quietly told Naira that to keep them both safe from the bad people, she would have to go away from Naira for a while. Naira asked for how long, and was confused, but trusted her friend and agreed. The friend pulled a small book and necklace out and gave it to Naira to keep safe and to help Naira not forget her, then hugged her and sent Naira on her way to go be her own person, promising they would see each other again.
So Naira left, trusting her friend fully, and started trying to live as her own person like her friend had said, wanting to make her proud when they meet again.
She learned to live on her own and eventually found a city where she had lots of food to scrounge up, and built a nice little house out of boxes as she began to learn how the outside world worked. She lived on the street and made the best of her small life, very happy with the little she had, as it was so much more than she ever thought she would. And that's where I have her story to!
Usually if im rping with her, thats where an interaction picks up and runs from.
But I'm so sorry for blabbing on, that turned out a lot longer than I thought 😅 I'll not cram more into this one, but if you're interested I will gladly tell you more about my other babies!
