Round 2: Battle 1
Participants: @bethncherry 's Beth and Cherry, @wallspikes 's Weld, @pocket-ozwynn 's Staple and Crown
Descriptions: "Beth is a giant farm lady (quiet, polite) and Cherry is a human sized college student (loud, anxiety, hyper)"
"weld is a borrower living in a beachside village in new york. he finds himself an outside borrower at a young age after getting separated from his family, and learns to thrive in a new environment. weld isn’t exactly… afraid of humans. how could he fear a group of people he knows nothing about, and doesn’t understand? but he does fear the lack of control that comes with human interaction. regardless, despite how he feels, his expression will always betray his emotion — expect him to always look worried, no matter what."
"Staple and Crown are both mouse-adjacent siblings.
Staple has a much thicker build than their younger sibling and long gray-brown hair pulled back into a ponytail. The same color fur can be found on his face, body, and tail. He wears a light green sleeved shirt, a darker green vest, brown pants, and a brown belt with a gold clasp. They have slight facial hair, a thick unibrow, and sharp yellowed teeth.
Crown is slim and nimble. Their hair is dark and cut short. Slightly lighter fur is found on their face, body, and tail. They wear a gray shirt under brown patched overalls. They have thick, short eyebrows and yellowed teeth with two prominent 'buck' teeth."
Propaganda: "RAAAAAHHHHHHH they are my beloveds. Beth has magic to help grow her tomato plants and other vegtables, she has a pet cow named Moo Moo and enjoys a quiet night. Cherry is in college/uni and is STRESSIN and met Beth by chance when her tires popped on the highway. Beth was there to help her out and they've stayed in contact."
"during his adult life (the main focus of his story) weld meets gio clark, a human man. their relationship is semi rocky at the start, but they eventually grow to be good friends, and later, brothers. weld fits into the clark family just fine.
weld struggles to understand anything outside of the realm of the village he lives in, which makes for a confusing assimilation to human living."
"Staple and Crown used to live in an abandoned, dilapidated mansion witb the rest of their large family until the property was bought and set to be renovated. Pest control was hired to get rid of the "rats" that were believed to be in the estate, leading to Staple escaping just barely with his youngest sibling. They both manage to hide away in a truckbed of haystacks and travel away from all they knew. They eventually make their new home in the rafters of a barn on the property of a middle aged farmer.
Crown is traumatized by the event, which leads to them being mute. They make up for the lack of words with noises like chirps, whistles, and hisses. Other than that, they aren't slowed down by their past and are as curious as ever, getting into just about every place that Staple has forbidden them to mess with.
Staple is definitely the overprotective type. He's desperate to hold on to the last remaining family he has, even though she and Crown butt heads more often than not. Staple doesn't really understand Crown, but he always believes to have her best interests at heart. But if he has to tell them one more time NOT to go sticking their head in the chicken coop he'll probably lose it."
