Wild Child Mint enters the fray!

@kirbyoctournament

About

Name: Mint

Gender/Pronouns: Female She/Her

Species: Puffball

Age: Late Teens

Abilities: Animal Communication, Agrokinesis, Archery, Sharp Senses and Agility

Weaknesses: Fire, Feral Social Skills, Missing Wing, Fears Bears

Likes: Hunting, Worthy Prey, Coyotes, Wild Pork

Dislikes: Long Conversations, Fire, Bears, Mushrooms

Personality

Aggressive, impulsive, instinct driven, Mint is best described as borderline feral given the circumstances life laid out for her. Being raised by wolves (well, coyotes) in the wild shaped the young puffball into a talented huntress and survivalist, but it did her social etiquette no favors. As she speaks in broken sentences, is frustrated by long conversations, doesn't respond well to provocation and is easy to overwhelm, Mint has been written off as someone not worth the trouble of getting to know.

Though she isn't a social butterfly, hidden under that pelt of hers is a deeply curious, clever, and surprisingly thoughtful girl. Mint is not easy to befriend, but those that can manage it may find a Puffball with a strong sense of loyalty. She is protective of the wilds that she calls home, driving out those that disrespect it and guiding those who are lost to safety- All to protect the delicate ecosystem and those that live outside it.

Lore

As a very young child, a young Mint was left alone in a sprawling, untamed forest and was forced to fend for herself. She was lucky to catch the attention and good will of a pack of coyotes, who helped the young puffball survive her early years and accustomed her to a wild upbringing. Using the pelt and bones of a deceased coyote, Mint fashioned herself a garment that she hoped made her fit in more with her wild friends.

When she scared a group of trespassing boys out of her territory, one of them dropped a bow and a quiver of arrows. After much trial and error, Mint figured out how to use the weapon as a tool to hunt. Along with a set of falcon-like wings growing in, she quickly became a skilled marksman with impeccable aim.

She hit a snag however when a ferocious bear intercepted one of her hunts, and the ensuing scuffle resulted in the permanent injury of one of Mint's wings and ultimately grounded her. While she was recovering from this fight, an irresponsible group of outside hunters started a forest fire that Mint barely escaped.

With two terrifying events happening right after another, Mint decided to take it as a sign that she must become stronger if she wanted to keep the only home she's ever known safe. Training herself to fight with her trusty bow, she threw herself headfirst into dozens of fights, and found the thrill of fighting strong foes quite to her liking. She's fought many battles with outsiders looking to harm her forest and safely guided the weak ones out of harms way. However, her forest is now starting to gain a reputation for its ferocious feral protector and is attracting more challengers than keeping them away... Much to Mint's continued annoyance.

Notes, Fun Facts, and Trivia

In terms of human years, Mint would be about 17-19 years old

Mint has never seen or interacted with another Puffball since she was a young child. She's almost completely forgotten others like her exist

Her family is still alive, but their whereabouts are unknown

Mint is one of my oldest characters. I came up with her initial design and story around 2012!

Note I will do OCs but I will not characters from media (aka, I will draw your phighting oc or whatever, I just won't draw banhammer or already existing cannon characters.)

Some examples of my work under the cut (some are a lil bit old tho)

I can also do sprite edits, but I'm probably going yo reserve those for art trades and stuff.

Name: Ruozhen "Rozen" Baili

Fulgrim's first wife. Her clan was part of the nomadic tribes that made its home in Chemos' rundown factory-cities, one more agreeable to the coming changes in leadership. In exchange for a position of power in Fulgrim's new empire, they helped him to rebuild their territory into a city under his leadership. To ensure their alliance, they also gave the clan leader's daughter to Fulgrim as his wife in a political marriage- the first of many.

Rozen was not happy. She had not intended to marry, wanting to carve out her own path in life. As such, she treated her new husband coldly, bitter about the life she was forced into. In truth, she didn't hate Fulgrim; she respected him greatly for what he was trying to accomplish, but she simply could not bring herself to be affectionate with the man that her family forced her to marry.

She refused to be treated as some sort of trophy and requested to take on some of his work in rebuilding the city and factories. Her intellect and talent for commerce made her respected in the political sphere, as well as by Fulgrim himself. They settled into a relationship akin to business partners during their first year together.

Their relationship deepened as they inevitably spent time with each other. While Rozen was never able to admit it, her respect for her husband had turned into affection. While Fulgrim had never pushed for the same kind of love that a married couple shared, he still treated her well. She slowly opened her heart to him- though not verbally, as her pride didn't allow for admitting it outright.

Their time, however, was cut short. Only five years into their marriage, she fell sick: a hereditary disease, for which there was not yet a cure. Her traditional and superstitious family claimed it was a curse, for she hadn't borne Fulgrim's children during their marriage; it would be something spoken of with shame until it was revealed that Primarchs were unable to have children in the first place.

Before Rozen passed away, she would confess to Fulgrim that she regretted not being able to see him fulfill his dream of a better, united Chemos. She may not have said outright that she loved him, but she knew he would understand the meaning behind her words regardless.

The Baili name is still prominent in Chemos as nobility. While the clan is far removed from their roots, they would keep certain traditions of their culture, encouraged by Fulgrim as Chemos entered its cultural revolution.

Fun Facts:

Rozen was taught how to play the zither as part of her education growing up. At first, she played as a form of relaxation, but as her affection for Fulgrim grew deeper, she began to play for the both of them. It would be revealed after her death that one of her songs was a sort of lullaby that she composed to help her husband rest, when he needed it. Whether or not Fulgrim knew of her intentions, she did not know.

She has confided in Fulgrim that if she'd been born in the Chemos that he envisioned, she would have wanted to be the head of her own merchant group and establish a name for herself throughout the world.

She renamed herself "Rozen" for the Executives of Chemos, as they did not respect the nomadic tribes and looked down on her for having a name different than the norm. When Fulgrim asked why she did not insist they respect her by learning how to say her name, she scoffed and told him "the way they pronounce my name is a desecration. I would rather they keep it off their tongues."

(FC: Angell from Path to Nowhere; I believe this is official art. Sorry guys, I cannot draw lmao)

Name: Jingfang "The Fang" Baili

An interator who studied under Golconda Pyke, and was considered one of her best students. She is not Terran-born; her homeworld was Chemos. Fang's talents were discovered early on, and she was brought to Terra to further her studies and eventually become an iterator.

Fang is well-respected amongst her peers, but not always in good ways. She has the intellect, presence and eloquence expected of an iterator, but her face lacks expressions, to the point where her emotional range is compared to that of an Astartes. And when she does try to smile, she looks so terrifying that she makes people run. An extreme example of how fake smiles cannot compare to genuine ones.

(Of course, she feels emotions. She was just brought up in a pragmatic environment which valued suppressing them).

Fang carries a sword on her hip, made in the style of the Sulpha. It is mostly ceremonial in nature, serving as a subtle threat to those who may look down on her. She does use it, though, to let out her frustrations in the soldier's training grounds when she's faced with a particularly difficult situation.

On Chemos, her clan played a prominent role in its politics. In the distant past, they were one of the nomadic tribes who took over one of Chemos' factory-cities, until they allied with Fulgrim via a political marriage; it is said that she bears a near uncanny resemblance to the woman who was wed to Fulgrim, in both looks and intellect.

Fang requested specifically to work with the 3rd Legion, half because she respected them and their drive for self-improvement, and partially because she found the legion's dedication to culture and art nostalgic to her homeworld (no doubt because they have the same leader).

Not that she would ever admit it to anyone but her teacher, a small part of her also wished to talk to Fulgrim himself. Not that she knew exactly what to talk about, but... call it a curiosity on what would happen if they met.

Fun Facts:

She asked people to call her Fang out of ease, but it took on a whole different meaning when during one of her assignments as a junior iterator, she got pissed off at a governor spouting nonsense and rebuked him so hard that the man almost wet himself. Pyke herself had to step in and scold her student, but she was seen laughing to herself for a good while afterwards.

She only knows the basics of swordsmanship, but she's wanted to find a teacher who knows the blade-dancing art that the Sulpha people used to practice.

Fang is actually very conscious about how terrifying she can look. Sure, she can still navigate a conversation with ease like any other iterator, but it would be nice if she could be as charismatic as Pyke...

She has considered, if she ever met Fulgrim, calling him her great-great-great-great-great-granduncle to see his reaction. She would never actually do it, lest she lose both her job and her head. But wouldn't that be funny?
