I've finally finished my first fanfic! This is a short story about my character Firstborn Juniper and how she - along with her closest companion Spinach the Fern Hound - found her second pet, the Jungle Stalker Cinnamon. I'm quite happy with how it turned out, so I really hope y'all will enjoy it as well! c:

Posts here will only be Guild Wars related, I will sometimes post/reblog content that contains spoilers for the game but I'll do my best to tag it appropriately even if it's a tiny spoiler. I also like to mention my OCs sometimes and occasionally I'll reblog other people's OCs!
Here's a list of my current OCs (more under the cut):
Twilight Octavia
She/Her
My Commander and main, a Sylvari Necromancer, who is the one in my icon! Traumatized and a little jaded from everything she's gone through, but she still cares deeply for her friends, so much so that she's often been known to put their needs before her own even in the most extreme circumstances.
Astromancer Tavii
She/Her
My Asuran Elementalist and WvW main, she's kind and a bit hyperactive, you wouldn't know it from her cutesy appearance that she's an expert with her staff. Unlike most Asura she doesn't look down on non-Asura for their intelligence, she instead finds kindness to be a more valuable trait to see in others.
Firstborn Juniper
She/Her
A Sylvari Ranger and a Firstborn, her connection with nature and animals drew her to leave the Grove quite early, she feels it's her duty to defend innocent creatures and the land they inhabit from harm. Her first pet, Spinach the sylvan hound, travels with her wherever she goes.
Nyx Nightpaw
She/They
A Charr Thief, an anarchist who loves her friends and has a secret soft side. Just because she's a thief doesn't mean she lacks morals though! Any respectable thief has a strong set of values and morals that they follow, which she says is why she usually only steals from the rich.
Celestia Abellona
She/Her
A Norn Guardian, she vows to protect those in need, and she values doing the right thing for the greater good, even at the expense of her personal or ancestral legacy.
Alessia Bryndis
She/Her
A Human Warrior from Elona, she admired Sunspears growing up and eventually became one herself. She grew up poor after her family moved to Tyria, but she hasn't let that stop her from much, and she's always there for her friends. One day she will return to Elona to be with her fellow Sunspears once more.
Alchemancer Akko
She/Her
An Asuran Engineer, "Believing in yourself is your magic" is her motto, a little impulsive but she never gives up or turns her back on her friends. (Yes, this character is partially inspired by Atsuko Kagari from Little Witch Academia)
Vesta Mistpaw
She/Her
Vesta has a gruff exterior and is fierce when she needs to be, but she has a lot of love for those she's close with and is the first to volunteer to protect her friends or fight those that hurt them. Now an Olmakhan, she was Blood Legion before becoming disillusioned with the legions and wars. She initially joined Blood to use her strength and ferocity to protect those she cared about, but the treatment she received after most of warband died, the treatment of her gladium sire, and her eventual understanding that her killing of Legionnaire Urvan Steelbane never could have fundamentally changed or fixed anything, led to her becoming disillusioned with the high legions as a whole and the Charr culture at Black Citadel. Her discovery of the Olmakhan was the last thing she needed to finally leave Ascalon behind, convincing as much of her warband as she could to join her. Knowing that there was a Charr society that was communal rather than hierarchical, one that wasn't in an endless war, she finally found a place that truly felt like somewhere she could call home.
Bunhild
She/Her
A protector of small creatures and a hunter of poachers, Bunhild was born to Hare shaman parents who taught her that all the Spirits of the Wild are important and have lessons to teach. While she didn't become a shaman like her parents, she is still a close follower of Bunny and tries to embody all the virtues she was taught about this Spirit. When she was a child, Bunhild befriended and tamed an alpine wolf pup, which she named Jackalupe (or Jack for short), starting the beginning of her journey to becoming a Ranger. She loves and - along with her pets - protects all smaller and weaker creatures, but has an obvious soft spot for bunnies.
"Small creatures like rabbits and deer can't fight back against a Norn, there's no honor in killing something that can't fight back, and nobody would boast at a moot about their great hunt that involved killing a bunny. And not even killing them for survival and sustenance? That just makes the actions of poachers despicable!" - Bunhild
Phantometrist Vexxi
She/Her
Vexxi knew she was always destined to be a powerful Mesmer, so when she found herself unable to make illusions using traditional Mesmer magic, she wasn't about to let that stop her: to bridge the gap, she applied Asuran magitech to create them from holograms instead. Ever since her first working prototype, Vexxi has focused everything on honing her craft, eventually becoming one of the most accomplished hologram engineers in Rata Sum thanks to the power and life-likeness of her holograms. If she doesn't tell you as much herself (which she will), the awards and recognition from her peers are evidence enough. When she isn't at her lab or the College of Statics, she is almost definitely out testing her newest holograms in the field.
Typha "Stinky" Bogcat
She/Her
As a cub, Typha kept disappearing on her friends, only for them to find her in a local bog or swamp trying to befriend random animals. Her love of wetland environments is why she chose the warband name Bogcat; her long hours spent in bogs, however, resulted in the nickname her friends gave her, "Stinky". She found a great fit in the Ash Legion, being not only willing but enthusiastic about spending long periods of time spying and scouting in forests and wetlands, blending in seamlessly into the environments when she needs to.
