Some personal OC stuff. I haven't talked about what Jacky is much in recent years because beyond the mushroom bit, I haven't been that interested in explaining her. I like the mystery. (I feel that way about a lot of OCs lol). But now I have Ches. I've been back and forth on whether or not I want her to still be a shapeshifter, but it seems too sentimental to do away with it now. Let it stay.

WIP Been a long time since I did any real worldbuilding on whatever Jacky is. I liked the mystery and wasn't interested in designing or thinking about more of them, but I like Chester and he fits, and nothing here makes me have to re-think Kira.

Fiddletails are faeries born to human mothers, they are 'conceived' when the mother eats a special mushroom from a faerie ring. There is no biological father. Their nickname derives from the fern-like shape of the end of their tail, which can resemble a fiddlehead when balled. The fronds on their back are soft enough to lay flat or can be trimmed. A fiddletail will find it easy to cross between the waking world and other worlds from a young age. If they're intuitive (or lucky) they'll learn to hide from threats quick, but not everything is dangerous. Many will find themselves in a takes-a-village raising situation with a network of faerie aunts, uncles and cousins. In modern times it's uncommon for fiddletails to run into each other, and most will never get a clear answer about what they are.
