Hi, there mystery bug! This is blog mun speaking. I will go as this sowbug which name “Branda the Narrator" when I interact in my HK ask blog.
Also yes, I do have other HK Ocs beside Bria. But they wouldn’t interact with her (yet) since they are living far away from Hallownest in my setting. I do plan to let them have a ask blog (in developed progress, slowly. And may open it up after few months Silk Song release.)
They are:
Vellai the Tutor , My wyrm Oc, that has some kinship with TPK.
and her 3 (adopted) children:
Mittay the Apprentice, my grimmchild Oc ;
Narru the Assistant, my vessel Oc ; and
Kaapi the Helper, my weaverling Oc.
Btw, You can read their detail at my main blog.
Also, new Ocs incoming since I somehow end up make a little town for them and... plots and stories, I guess?
Thanks for the ask and have a nice day/night/weekends !
My mind doesn’t have impulse control and end up I created another 3 OC, and more backstories for them...
So I did draw Vellai before , and she actually an oc I created few days ago (which I kinda inspired by this fanfic: A Lost Light, by elil )
So here is some backstories for the Vellai the tutor and her 3 children:
Vellai and those 3 kids, Mittay, Narru, Kappi, are living in a little town, named Suryanhill, which is far away from Hallownest and Pharloom. The town is quite small but it is one of a travelers favorite resting stops, due to its located near by main traveling road to many different kingdoms.
(More character’s backstories under cut:)
Vellai the Tutor:
As the tutor of the small town, Vellai main job is teach and help the younglings of Suryanhill to learn and discover their potential. She sometimes help and advice the residents and travelers to solve problems. The younglings and the resident mostly call her “Miss Vel”, or “Vel”.
For the bugs of Suryanhill, they assume that Vellai, their tutor in the town, is a weird looking silverfish hybrid, but she actually is not a mortal bug, but a transformed Wyrm, who has the title of “The Wyrm of Cantiran Creek”. She dare not to speak about her origin and what she really is to other bugs most of the time, thanks to the one infamous Wyrm that fail their own kingdom, and still many bugs talk about them to this day. (Due to the similarity her appearance and TPK, she might be one of a kin to TPK’s. Also, she suspect that TPK could be her long lost uncle or cousin, which her elders and parents never, or avoid to speak about him and she never has chance to meet him.)
Vellai has 3 pairs of wings and 2 pairs of arms. Her 6 horns bend slightly inward which make her looks like wearing a lotus’s crown. Also she only has a long tali which resemble her real identity. She hidden her wings and 2nd set of arms under the robe most of the time.
When winter came, Vellai will and love travel to other kingdoms and places, then finally to her homeland to meet her parents and other Wyrms before she go back to Suryanhill. Even though many of the Wyrms still think the form that she takes is really dumb, but she just ignore them. (You can’t live or move in the normal bugs place with that giant wrym form, ya know?)
Since travel with legs (and wings) have more benefit than slither and wiggle all the ways to her destination, she learn and created her own spells and charms to shape shift for gaining a pair of legs, but only temporary. Also, she is an archer and she know some nailart and attack magics/charms/spells for self-defense.
After she found and adopted baby!Mittay, She hardly get the change to travel until they grow little bit older.
Mittay the Apprentice:
The first adopted child. Vellai found her at one of the journey when she lost in a forest. She is currently an apprentice of Suryanhill’s blacksmith, and also this kid have high interested for learning nailart, too.
Narru the Assistant :
The second adopted child. Vellai and Mittay found them wandered around when both bugs traveled past by entry of the Hallownest (which was guarded by Hornet and can’t enter by that time). Vellai had no idea where they came from and what kind of bugs they are. Exploring into the fallen underworld kingdom were too dangerous with two children, so she just took them under her wings. Narru is a silent, but a good assistant of the Suryanhill’s inn keeper.
Kappi the Helper:
The newest member of Vellai’s home. Not sure where and how did Narru found them, but he is a good partner and companion when you need one. Kaapi currently is the helper of Suryanhill’s Librarian, sometime he will assist Vellai in teaching.
Fun fact: The pins on the kids’ cloths actually are the special protection charms that Vellai created (or modified/upgraded for Mittay’s case) for each of her adopted children as the blesses and gifts, which is somehow an informal tradition of Suryanhill.
