FULL NAME: Reba Stray BASED ON: Dixie (Fox and the Hound II) FACE CLAIM: Rotana Tarabzouni PRONOUNS: She/Her BIRTHDAY: November 9, 1992 CURRENT STATUS: Taken

Character Information || CW: Child Abandonment, Dementia, Depression ||

Back before there was the name Reba Stray, encased in glittering lights and shouted from the mouths of adoring fans, there was the squalling of a baby and the glitter of a fairy gift. 

But, perhaps, we are getting ahead of ourselves. 

Perhaps we should start with two kids in love, hiding away from the world in the backwoods of Georgia - a place their daughter, herself, would run as wild as the blackberry bushes that grew up by her house. 

Before there was Reba Stray, there was Maryam Alfadhli, a tired nurse in a tired small town, taking care of a daughter who wanted to leave. Rāḥīl was always meant for more than their little town. 

She wouldn't be a singer or a famous movie star, though. Just a small town girl who fell in love with a big city boy, got herself pregnant, and dropped the baby off on her mama's doorstep, a harried promise on her lips, airplane tickets in her hands, and stars in her eyes. 

Maryam hasn't seen her daughter since, not until her daughter grows up. Then, she looks just like the little wildflower. Maryam fears for her just the same, fears that her late shifts and early morning wake up calls would push the girl away. 

Except the daughter never followed after the mother. She had a dream, and it was one she shared with her granny. 

You see, when Reba was born she was given a name: Majdalā. She was also given a gift, too, from another harried nurse who knew Maryam, who could see the tiredness in her face and knew the hardships that would be coming. So, that nurse gave Majdalā a song, and it sings in her heart every day. 

It's that song she shares when she hitches a ride to Nashville when she's nineteen, that song she shares when she's singing in dive bars and writing her own lyrics.

It's that song that Majdalā always hears in her dreams, when she's finally standing on a stage, surrounded by hundreds of thousands, but it isn't the only thing Majdalā Alfadhli is. 

She is the granddaughter of Maryam. She is the daughter of a wildflower and fairy-gifted. She loves the sun and the sunshine, and she misses her granny when she's finally on tour, when she's finally gotten their chance. 

She's the girl with a grandma who can't remember her, and she's the girl who uses her platform to help her remember. 

This was Majdalā's dream, but it was Maryam's, too. Maybe being back in a small town will help her remember that, and not just how bitter everything tastes, now, after the fight she'd had with Cash. 

Maybe it will help her remember that she isn't just Reba Stray, but Majdalā Alfadhli, too.

“I don’t want to see you get killed.”

FULL NAME: Krish “Copper” Russell BASED ON: Copper (Fox and the Hound) FACE CLAIM: Dev Patel PRONOUNS: He/him BIRTHDAY: September 18, 1995 CURRENT STATUS: Taken

Character Information || cw: death, child/domestic abuse ||

No journey is ever straight-forward, his father had once said. How he had met Krish’s mother, how he had become a policeman, how they had gotten their home and started their small family. Life was a path with many twists and turns – Krish had just never realised how many turns his life would have.

His father, dead when his son was just ten years old, killed in a hit and run that no one was ever sent down for.

His mother, remarrying a man who seemed alright until the night crept in, and the drink came out, and he grew louder and sharper and took it out on whoever was closest.

A best friend who was maybe more than that, the only solace he had for years, who he never saw again after his mother finally got away, moving them halfway across the country to escape.

And when he was old enough he did what he always said he would do: he started the training and joined the police force, following in his dad’s footsteps. Problem being that he hated every second of it. He didn’t feel like it was enough. He didn’t feel like he was helping, making a difference, the way his dad always seemed to have been doing. And it made his mother sick with worry every time he left the house.

So he left. The memory of a friend he had left behind drove him to Swynlake, to Pride U, where he was Copper, not Krish, the ex-copper turned paramedic. He had no idea if his friend was even there, but Swynlake was something they had talked about, somewhere they had always wanted to go. This small magic town, tucked away in the countryside close to Wales, open and accepting of all.

When he graduated from school he decided to stay. He’s made a home for himself here, carved out a place for himself, though he still hopes he might spot a familiar face amongst the crowds of tourists, one that might just recognise him, too.

“I think 6 would be just right.”

FULL NAME: Vishaka Chakraborty BASED ON: Vixey (Fox and the Hound) FACE CLAIM: Richa Moorjani PRONOUNS:  She/Her BIRTHDAY: September 08, 1992 CURRENT STATUS: Closed

Character Information

Vishaka Chakraborty is a woman of to do lists. She has one for every occasion: grocery lists, Christmas presents, school work. She can be a bit spacey otherwise, so since she was young, she has used to do lists to keep on track. The most important one is titled “Vixey’s Life Goals,” she wrote it at the age of 10, and has written it in the front of every notebook she’s ever kept her to do lists in.

Graduate secondary with good marks? Check.

Get into King’s College for their nursing program? Check.

Find a husband while in college (who is training to be a doctor)? Check. (Handsome? Check. Kind? Check. Indian? Check. Smart? Check. Ambitious? Check. Loving? Check.)

Marry exactly two years after graduation so that you’ve both started to establish your careers? Check.

Begin talking about kids? Check, but agree to wait until after residency.

Get a phone call from the very hospital you work at twenty minutes after your husband gets off work? Be told he died in an accident on the way home? Become a widow at 27 years old? Move back to your home town because you can’t concentrate on your job and get kindly told to take a few months sabbatical?

The front of Vixey’s notebook is now empty. She’s come home because she doesn’t know where else to go. Her parents understand, but she can still feel their anxiety–wanting her to pick herself back up and go back to succeeding, the way she always had before. But, honestly, Vixey is content to be back home. It’s somewhere familiar, where memories of her husband don’t lurk around every corner. Swynlake, for Vixey, is home. And when one is without a to do list, the best place to be is somewhere where you know everything and everyone. It makes it easier to forget.

“And we’ll keep being friends forever, right Big Mama?”

FULL NAME: Tod Mitchell BASED ON: Tod (Fox and the Hound) FACE CLAIM: Tom Blyth  PRONOUNS: He/Him   BIRTHDAY:   September 19, 1995   CURRENT STATUS: Taken

Character Information || cw:  drugs, alcoholism, cancer, overdose, abuse, abandonment, death ||

Tod’s life could be read in a series of tragedies.

His father was the first one, disappearing on Tod and his mother not long after Tod’s tenth birthday. Not that it was much of a loss. His dad was as deadbeat as they get. Could never hold down a job, drank too much, yelled too much, hit too much. Still…there was something about being the boy whose dad disappeared that Tod just couldn’t shake. Still…there was something to wondering about whatever had happened to him…and if he might ever come back. 

His mother died when he was sixteen of an overdose. It probably shouldn’t have surprised him, considering how bad she’d been since his dad had left, but it still did. The police sent him to live with his grandmother. A fresh start in a new place would do him some good.

His grandmother got cancer. At first, they were able to manage it while Tod was away in London, where he’d moved for medical school and wound up staying. Soon, it took over. And his grandmother died too. 

Tod doesn’t like to linger on the bad things, though. 

He tries to think of the good things: his mother’s laugh when she was sober. The fact his dad leaving meant he didn’t have to deal with him anymore. His friend, Krish, who had cheered him up during the hard times. That his grandmother wasn’t suffering anymore. 

He was grateful that for a few years, in Swynlake, things really were good. He had friends. A quiet, calm, and loving home. The kind of dreams that took him into the city and to medical school. 

There were things in his life that were blessings, but sometimes, it felt like they were few and far between. Tod just wants to keep his head down, but in Swynlake, that isn’t exactly easy, is it?
