Alongside that, Butcher’s childhood friends have actual names now! Ram has been renamed to Avilius (Avil), and Ewe has been renamed to Clementia (Clem/Clemi). This was gonna be a poorly done doodle instead of a poorly done edit but I didn’t have the time </3
Some parents + Butcher lore under the cut!
- Marcus was Butcher's dad, and the lumberjack of their village—Westmeadow. While officially called a lumberjack, he also served as a forager for outside materials, being one of the few people in the village who had the skills necessary to safely venture out into the outside world.
After he sustained an injury that rendered him unable to keep working, the role of lumberjack was quickly passed onto Butcher, as to not suddenly leave the village without a source of food and medicinal ingredients. It's customary in sheep culture for children to take after their parents' trades, but Butcher took on the role younger than most, at only thirteen years old, due to the urgency of the situation.
- Villia was Butcher's mom, and she ran the medical tent in Westmeadow. Only children were a rare occurrence, usually there was at least two to take on both of their parents' jobs after they retired, but Butcher was one of the few only kids in the whole village.
Due to this, they shadowed under both of their parents, learning both of their trades, with the intent of becoming an expert in both and being able to teach someone else to do the job they chose not to focus on in the future. That choice was taken away from them when they had to become the lumberjack, but that was the job they preferred doing anyway.
Thanks to their mother’s teachings, Butcher still has some medical skills that come in handy when running the cult (and before that—when protecting themselves) to this day.
- Both of them might look intimidating at a glance, but they're both mostly well-adjusted people and good parents, albeit unreasonably strict at times, at least in the eyes of the kids...that being said, at least half of it is just thanks to a chronic case of Resting Bitch Face. [Looks at Butcher] and I think it may even be genetic /j
Also fun fact: none of these names follow Woolhaven’s canonical naming scheme, because Westmeadow was originally founded by defectors of the Woolhaven cult a long long time ago, and it’s culture has been developing independently of Woolhaven’s ever since. And also for the sake of doing references/allusions
