Amaranth Brandybuck and Mirabella (Took) Brandybuck 💚
Yeah I couldn’t be bothered to go over with the ink pen so here’s the sketch before I colour it ☺️
Anyway Amaranth is the older sister of Primula Brandybuck (Frodos mum) and Mirabella is their mother and the youngest sister of Belladonna Took (Bilbos mum)
37 and 81 years old respectively (at the time of The Hobbit.
(More on their designs under the cut)
Yes this is again for that unreleased fic of mine, I’m getting there I promise 😔 so most of this is canon in my fic not the og(aside from the facts above)
Anyway, Amaranth is Mirabella’s oldest daughter and second oldest out of seven, she’s cheeky and more of a move-in-the-shadows kind of trickster.
She also has a massive crush on Dora Baggins but is too busy keeping her little sister away from Drogo.
She also has a primula flower and a bunch of amaranths in her hair, whereas Mirabella has a bouquet/crown of flowers and plants in her hair as a monarch.
The Tooks also mostly all share the marking which was inspired by Rabbits/Rabbit Syndrome (which I know is a real thing so no disrespect or misinterpretation to those with it) they have freckles and longer ears to especially resemble a rabbit.
On to Mirabella who is the youngest daughter and second youngest child of Geronitis Took.
And yes, you’re probably wondering why the hell she looks like a peg leg pirate with her tail chomped off. I do have an excellent explanation.
And it is involving a headcanon for my story which I will most likely write a oneshot for but I will give you the run-down.
And it all begins with that Fell Winter.
The infamous Fell Winter where Bungo Baggins became deadly ill. Frostbite, starvation, it was horrible and Belladonna couldn’t let their son Bilbo have to watch his father die.
So with three of her siblings, Hildigrim, Isengar, and Mirabella. They set out in the horrible weather with hopes to find medicine, a doctor, help, anything.
They search and search through Hobbiton, the Shire. Next, they head for Bree.
But their luck ran short, and the Wolves prowling through their land, maws still bloody from killing their livestock, set their predatory gaze to them.
Hildigrim, their big brother, had tried to draw the beasts away and eventually retreated with a branch to defend them with.
Belladonna joined him with a branch of her own as Mirabella protected their little brother Isengar.
It was a day Mirabella and her brothers would never forget, especially when they watched one of the Wolves snap one of Belladonna’s hands in its jaws and yank her into the fray.
She leaped after her sister in terror and desperation. And from that she defended her mangled corpse until she’d lost a leg and half her tail to those creatures.
By then their father had found them with some cousins and siblings and beat the monsters away with anything they could.
Mirabella, Hildigrim and Isengar survived that Winter thanks to their sister.
Anyway, thanks for reading that if you did, I might expand on it at a later date, but anyway.
