A. Wuulf
A mature gray wolf, dark fur that is starting to spot white and near her ears, and bright gray eyes, usually seen peering at you from the shadows of dusk or dawn, with an overly toothy, but warm, (at least she thinks) smile.
When seen properly, which is infrequent, Ms. A Wuulf is seen in outfits that seem a bit out of place, antiquated uniform pieces for shopping and elaborate, if off color ball gowns for a jaunt in the forest. You would swear she blindly pulled her outfits from some oddball trunk left locked away for 30 to 80 years and you would be quite correct.
The only constant seems to be the ink splatter that adorns her fingers and garment on a near constant basis, for if she is seen, she is seen in a shadow or apart from the crowd at a town gathering, writing something furiously in one of her many notebooks, frequently after observing her neighbors for a time.
Back when the Shademoor was Founded, The Watchworth family of wolves were scholars and guides to their more vulnerable friends. Living in one of the oldest homes, the Watchworth Wolves became a well respected family within Shademoor, but has since moved on to different forests, leaving Watchworth Manor to crumble behind them, leaving only ghost stories and myths. Until two years ago, the lights suddenly came back on inside the dusty old home, and ever since, strange things happen in Willowglade at night.
The now sole owner and habitat of the Manor, Ms. Alaide Watchworth Wullf, is an eccentric writer and ex-adventurer, having returned home under mysterious circumstances after years abroad. With so much house and history to rediscover, and a tendency to walk in the woods a night, she was in town a full two years before the rest of the critter knew that she was there, and was so invested in discovering the secrets of the old house, became a bit of a recluse within her home in the process. Fearing that the forest has moved on without her, A. Wuulf has decided that she must brave the world outside her home and make friends, but...after so long, she has quite forgotten how.
She is forgetful, a touch shy, and prone to talking to herself, or simply acting as if no one else was around, which was just fine before, but now has given her an odd, maybe even sinister reputation among the critters. Living in crumbling manor, walking in the moonlight and dressing like something out of a slightly mad history book may not help either.
But what she has not forgotten is her love of writing, research and documenting. Ah! A solution! She will go among them in secret, record her findings meticulously and make a plan to find among them just the best of friends! What could be strange about someone slinking around taking notes on everyone?
Beyond that, those who do get close to A. Wuulf with find, a warm, quirky woman who loves telling stories and citrus sweets, and at one time, was a lover of dance and party, though the manor is in no shape to host anything without some intense care and repair. She may have forgotten the steps at present, but with the right people, even this old wolf may find her music again.


Hedgehog - She/Her
32 Hedgerow Lane
Brambleton
November 18 (68)
Mrs. Agatha Webster
Small, brown and round, with yellow-tipped spines. She can often be seen going into the woods with a basket or coming out with a basket full of mushrooms or berries. If she happens to be sitting, she is often knitting if not having a tea cup in her hand.
Agatha lives with her beloved husband Henry, who is a bit more reclusive than his social wife. But in turn Agatha also enjoys a quiet night knitting and drinking tea at home in front of a fireplace. She has recently retired from her job as a librarian, while Henry has turned over his general store to one of their daughters to run. Her sister Augusta lives next door, and they frequently visit each other to have tea and cakes while knitting.
Agatha loves to socialize with all kinds of critters outside of her neighborhood and social circles. Anyone who loves books or maps or any kinds of crafts will find a willing conversation partner in Agatha. She is a bit of a busybody, but she always means well and doesn't consider that she's gossiping; she mainly is interested in her fellow critters. While she goes by Mrs. Agatha Webster, she's not big on titles and definitely is never offended if you were to leave it out.


Bobcat - They/Them
8 Hawthorn Lane
Willowglade
February 24 (35)
Briony Fable
Briony Fable is a contradictory sort of Critter: nervous and shy, but still determined and enduring. They are a soft gray Bobcat with brownish-black spots and stripes. The tufts of fur at the top of their ears and the sides of their face are especially fluffy, particularly in the fall and winter months. Briony is missing their back left leg, and have adjusted to getting around without it. They carry around them an air of wanting to participate, but being unsure if they are invited. Briony is new to Mosswood, and can often be found exploring around that next tree, eyes full of wonder.
Willowglade is home to many bold beasts; Briony is a Beast, and would like to be Bold, so this seemed like the right place for them to start. They are a quiet Bobcat, but quick to offer help to those that need it, whether their baskets are too heavy to carry or if they need someone to sit with them in companionable silence. There's a pull and tug to Briony's disposition; they often waffle between eagerness and reserved distance. Those who have spent time with them around their outdoor fire pit have all been treated to delicious, toasty treats perfumed with smoke and pine needles.


Squirrel - She/Her
21st Branch from the Top
Pine Valley
Willowglade
August 22 (80)
Lady Chessie Von Chesterfield
Lady Von Chesterfield is silver gray with a very fluffy tail and a sweet smile.
Chessie is pretty old, (as you can see.) She has lived just about everywhere -- city, country, seaside, and right here and now -- retired in Mosswood! She does have two very dear friends here, and does look forward to meeting some other critters. Her family is pretty huge, 17 children and 42 or so grandchildren. Most of them live in the country where food is plentiful and there is lots of space to run.
She is pretty mild mannered, and likes to bring people together and look out for those needing help. She, myself, has been chased away from many a bird nest, in her day! That is why she chose to retire here in the town of Mosswood. Peace and quiet and lots of fresh nuts, berries and seeds!

Mr. Clovis J. Hollowthorn
Clovis is a well dressed fox, though a few items are worn at the edges. His fur coat is clean and shiny as he values being well kept. His left ear has a notch that if you're lucky he'll share the story of the adventure in which he gained it. He has a flash of white on his muzzle that reaches a bit further up around his eyes than average.
Clovis is of the Hollowthorn family, one of the more well known in Brambleton due to their social stature. They have owned one of the main shoppes in town, the Brambleton Bizarre, since nearly the start of the community and carries all sorts of goods.
It was expected for Clovis to take over the business but instead he has insisted on traveling and adventuring to find new ways to support the community. He has always believed that a united community is a well cared for one and he wishes to do more than just sell goods. He hopes that his little sister Claire will take over the business (perhaps keeping him as a partner) in the future.
He is ebullient and cheerful to speak with and will happily chatter away, discussing other communities and things he's found on his journeys.

Dr. Ephraim Hobart Lockwood
Ephraim is a skunk of average height and slender build. He has a thin white stripe down his head to his tail, and dark eyes. He often wears a full three-piece gray or black suit but will switch to something lighter if the weather is particularly warm. When he’s off the clock to spice things up he will sometimes wear his favorite olive-green suit.
Ephraim was born and raised in a large city with his parents and younger sister. His sister, Delphina, is of poor health and so when Ephraim was old enough, he attended a prestigious medical school to become a doctor in order to better help his sister.
After moving from practice to practice around the city, Ephraim decided to move with Delphina out to Mosswood in hopes that the fresh air would do her good. He has just set up shop, and his little doctor’s office will soon be open for business in Willowglade.
Dr. Lockwood is a polite young man who at first may appear rather stiff. In reality he is a generous and kind skunk who will do anything to help his friends and neighbors. He is excited to set up his own practice and hopes that he will become a welcome member of the community, though the country life is new to him, and he doesn’t quite know what to expect.

Stay tuned...
Bio coming soon!

Mr. Fable Moonrose
Fable is a black and white skunk with traditional markings, hexagonal glasses, and very casual attire (or just an apron).
Fable is the oldest of two siblings in the Moonrose family, with the younger being his sister, Honey. About two years ago, their parents retired and moved to the beach, leaving their tea shop to Fable. In his care, the Butter Cup has flourished. Fable has started growing his own tea plants and herbs behind the shop, hosts events, and brought a certain air of nurturing that his parents just didn't have. Fable loves to take care of people, and if he sees someone feeling down in the dumps, they'll probably be invited for a free cuppa.
He is an anxious little skunk, and is afraid of many, many things. He's always worried about having a skunky incident, but the Butter Cup is his safe place and Fable almost always feel at ease there. Honey, who also works in the shop, is trying to force Fable to face his fears. It's not going so well. He loves tea, baking, reading, long walks, and all things cozy. Fable can be scatterbrained and wishy-washy at times, and isn't very good at following through on his plans.
Anyone looking for a safe place, a quiet spot, or a friend can find it at the Butter Cup!

Hedgehog - She/Her
Bumpy Tree Root
Brambleton
July 3 (50)
Helen Hopper
Helen is a round little hedgehog with sparkling and inviting dark eyes. She loves to wear flowers on her head, and yellow ones are her favorite! She often wears a long apron or big full skirt that she created. You can tell what she is up to by her outfit - is it the paint splattered apron? The skirt with yarn and thread trimmings stuck everywhere? Her fancy ribbon and lace pinafore that's perfect for strolling in the sun? Helen's body may have some prickles, but her warm smile and community spirit let everyone know she's full of fun and kindness!
Helen lives in the burrow next to her shop in the roots of a large tree in Brambleton. It's her ancestral home, and she comes from a long line of independent and resourceful hedgies. Helen's hands (and mouth!) are never idle. She loves to talk, teach, and eat! The only time she's not moving as fast as her little feet can carry her is when someone shares a great story. She loves to sit and listen and let the story take root in her busy little mind.
Helen loves to be creative, gossip, and to help the critters of her community. She will never pass up a sweet treat or an eye-catching piece of material that can be crafted into a new creation. In her shop, Creativi-Tea, critters can join a crafting class, buy or trade for the perfect item for their own project, or request a special item for their personal or business use! It's more fun to craft when you have a lovely cup of tea to compliment the project. (And it's more likely that a friend will linger to share all the latest with a tempting cup!)
Helen loves the Sun, and it makes sense because she was born on July 3rd under the sign of the Dandelion. Helen has a warm smile, loves to visit her friends, and have old and new friends visit her special shop to get creative and have a sip!


Raccoon - She/Them
7th Oak Hollow
Brambleton
August 2 (38)
Mx. Hemlock Hollowell
Bright-eyed and sleek-tailed, Hemlock takes in the world around her with whiskers forward and ears flat. She almost always looks guilty, as though she were caught doing something she shouldn't have, and she is often jumpy about loud noises or sudden movements.
Hemlock is new to the area, having appeared in town one day somewhat abruptly. The Raccoon was looking for a new home, and eagerly accepted the offer of an empty oak tree in Brambleton. Hemlock has no furniture and no clothing other than what she arrived with, though they can often be seen busily at work gathering leaves, branches, and any discarded items or scraps of cloth from the communal trash areas.
Quiet and somewhat shy, the newcomer nevertheless always has a nervous smile and a wave for anyone who happens by, and the front of her little Oak Hollow is starting to look a bit more homey as she decorates it with leaves and branches.

Ms. Lobelia Swiftfoot
Lobelia is a russet-colored hare with a pointed face and shiny black eyes. She has white markings beneath her nose and chin, and the tips of her long ears are a very dark umber. When out and about, she wears sundresses and jumpers, occasionally paired with a straw hat. However, as she works, she typically opts to wear trousers and a buttoned-down shirt with an apron, for ease of movement.
A native to Mosswood, Lobelia is a self-starter who worked hard to build her own business in Brambleton from the ground up. She does not have a storefront, or even a shop name, but she conducts her work from a studio in the back of her burrow. This tidy room houses a rainbow array of threads, fabrics, and parchments, neatly organized with the proper instruments and accoutrement for binding and repairing books. Her clientage was formed by word of mouth or from being discovered at the flea market, where she sells blank page journals she has bound.
Although a bit of a workaholic, Lobelia finds time throughout the day to rest and find enjoyment in the little things. Her home is a cozy place, with a comfortable sofa by the fireplace, blankets readily at hand, a kettle continuously brewing, and, of course, shelves lined with books. She likes collecting small things and has an album where she keeps a collection of stamps and pressed flowers. On the wall of her kitchen is an impressive display of teaspoons she has acquired throughout the years.
She enjoys dropping in on one of her many family members in Mosswood for current news and gossip. Word travels fast through the warren! The younger hares can always look to Lobelia to be a listening ear and to give her ofttimes not-so-sage advice. They also know that to get on her good side, she has an acute weakness for baked goods, especially strawberry rhubarb pie.
While she may seem like a bit of a homebody with her comfortable routine, deep down Lobelia has a heart for adventure. When she gets the itch to explore, she uses it as an opportunity to find new places, meet new critters, and to learn something new.


Squirrel - She/Her
Broadoak B & B
2425 Broadoak Way
Willowglade
April 17 (65+)
Madame Marmalade (Marm)
Madame Marmalade is a senior Eastern Fox Squirrel. No one would ever call her old, not in her thinking, nor in her way of being. Her rust colored fur has a few strands of silver in it. She likes to dress nicely in brighter colors to meet her guests at the B & B, but can be seen in less colorful clothes when she is cleaning between guests. On her way to Mosswood she happened to find a beautiful sparkling silver chain, on which hangs a small golden key. She wears this around her neck and never takes it off.
Marmalade had several litters and all her children are doing well. With the death of her husband and her family doing well she decided she needed a change. She decided to open up a B& B in the tree she had moved into. She noticed there were 3 empty nests in it that will suit birds and any other animal that can nest in a tree. She has furnished her B & B well and sees to the comfort of her guests. Her breakfasts are excellent and her guests are sure to rave about her cooking. She is very social and has had her friends and neighbors trust in her old neighborhood. She can be counted on to keep a confidence and help out in a pinch. She has thought that she would like to learn more about Mosswood and thinks adventuring could also liven up her life.


Mama Marjorie
Marjorie is an older horned owl, quite round and quite soft. Her deep brown feathers have turned whiter over time, so she is often mistaken for a snowy owl, though she is slightly smaller than her snowy cousins. Her large eyes match her feathers of earlier seasons, a deep rich soil colour, flecked with sunlight. She's missing a couple of feathers under her left wing, but that doesn't affect her flying.. she's still as silent in the air as she ever was, at least on the rare occasion when she chooses to leave her nest-home, that is.
Everyone just knows her as "Mama Marjorie". She's been around as long as anyone can remember, and nobody would remember her last name except it's the name of her roost; it's also how anyone speaks of her late mate ("Mr. Talonscourt"). Marjorie misses her dearest Hoobert and all her younglings - both her own and those she's taken in along the way. She's recently become a true empty-nester, and hasn't quite adjusted to the overly quiet state of things.
Mama Marjorie is known as a kindly old Owl, wise and motherly as the nickname would suggest. A teacher and mentor who raises and takes in many a youngling (who will always be younglings to her no matter their actual age). She will, however, give a good scolding where needed, though sparingly; being on the receiving end of a Mama Marjorie 'make better choices' talk means something has gone rather amiss. Willowglade's Mama is observant but does turn her sharp eyes away from some mistakes - it's the best way to learn after all.
She loves her baking - seed bread is her specialty - and keeps her wings busied with a variety of crafting arts as a way to fill her home again. Visitors are always welcome, as is news and gossip, and all manner of correspondence.
It's curious that someone with so much knowledge and experience and a social nature isn't seen outside her home and attends no seasonal gatherings...

Hedgehog - He/Him,
Cloud/Cloudself
34 Sweet Berry Way
Brambleton
November 16 (20)
Mr. Oliver Oullins Plum
Oliver is a hedgehog with copper brown spines and caramel skin. He's pretty average in size, not too small and not too big. You'll rarely see Oliver with brown spines though! Cloud loves to use body paint that he makes to paint his spines light blue and white! Much like a cloudy sky!
Oliver was born in a rather large town, so he often kept to himself, as no one really shared his interests in adventuring. Cloud loved to explore the town in new ways, seeing it in different angles and in various lights. But, the thing that cloud loved the most was adventuring outside of the town. There were many more possibilities of running into ancient ruins, old buildings and more! He had a few friends in his town, with which they all shared their love of painting. Oliver particularly loves to paint cloudself. Although, cloud has always wanted to paint on other creatures though!
Overall, Oliver is a kind hedgehog who just wants friends to go on adventures with him. If someone asks cloud to go anywhere, he will drop whatever he is doing!


Boar - He/Him
7 Mudwallow Way
Brambleton
July 7 (35)
Mr. Oliver Felix Sumberly
Oliver Sumberly is a boar with a reddish gold coloration. His skin is a soft pink under all his fur, and his eyes are soft blue. He has two little tusks that he makes sure are the whitest of whites. From the top of his head all the way down his back, he has a shock of white-gold that travels the length of his spine. The tips of his ears are tufted in a similar white-gold. He stands a bit taller than most other critters.
Oliver is an orderly fellow. He often times can be found organizing his shoppe of charms, dusting off old charms, and putting a shine on windows. He takes a certain amount of pride in the little gifts that house his particular brand of Mojo. There is a certain amount of love he has for them. He'll talk to each one as if they were a creature or pet that could hear him. Those that have shopped at Sumberly's Serendipities have seen him muttering to the little charms; chastising them for not telling him they needed something, or apologizing he didn't get to them sooner.
He is such a critter-person! He loves to host tea and dinner parties amongst his friends. While he may not be the best cook, he does enjoy cooking up new recipes, especially mushroomy foods. When he is at his shoppe, he is constantly calling out to passers-by; not necessarily inviting them in to buy something, but asking about how their day has been going, if they need any help, or if they're new in town if they need any directions, or a place to stay while they get themselves set up.
This boar also is one of the more persistent Critters. Oliver has been known to work at a problem and find solutions until he finds one that works (occasionally even a solution or two that don't really work).
Oliver grew up in Brambleton in his familial home: with his father Theodore, his mother Elizabeth, and his older sister, Heather. They grew up in their modest home that even had a small flower garden with a few kitchen herbs that his mother enjoys cooking with.
Currently, Oliver enjoys going to the town’s pub, gossiping, and playing games. He also loves celebrations, and tries to contribute as much as he can to them when the Neighborhood has one.


Hare - She/Her
1 1/2 Teaspoon Way
Brambleton
Paisley's Place
1 Teaspoon Way
Brambleton
January 17 (21)
Miss Paisley Peppernut
Paisley is a young light brown hare that's a little on the small side. She has a fluffy white tail and her whiskers are slightly curly. She likes wearing ear accessories as well as a white café apron embroidered with lilies.
Paisley's a young hare with a dream to be the number one restauranteur in the forest! She specializes in farm-to-table herbivorous cuisine at her little restaurant, Paisley's Place, and loves to feed people and listen to their stories, and will give critters down on their luck a good hot meal in exchange for some light chores. She's the second oldest of seven children and learned a lot from her parents on healthy eating and cooking for a crowd. Paisley is outgoing and cheerful, but secretly worries if she's capable enough, compared to some of her siblings that have already found success. Paisley loves herbal teas and enjoys a cup every morning (no sugar, she's sweet enough.) She also is very fond of strawberries. Her other interests include tending to her herb and vegetable garden, collecting ear accessories and writing short stories on her heirloom typewriter.


Otter - She/Her/Mer
11 Dew Daisy Trail
Pebblebrook
December 23 (20)
Pascalette Cobbletail
Pascalette is a young otter with slightly longer chestnut fur, with the ends lightened by her near constant sun-bathing. Her fur shies with an almost glitter when she swims. She has warm brown eyes and is nearly alway adorned with a paw-made headpiece, made up of flowers, plants and treasures that she finds when she dives down below the waves.
Pascalette Cobbletail, or as she would prefer her friends to call her "Lette", is a nomadic otter who has recently found her way into the rivers, streams and shores of Mosswood. A happy, laid back young lady, she spends her days napping in the sun, dives for treasures below the water and crafting beautiful decorative pieces from what she finds there at her roving stand called Buckler's Bounty.
Being a traveler, she has many stories to tell and loves to hear them from her neighbors, especially if the have anything to do with the magic and mojo in the world. She has a particular passion for sea sprits and creatures, and is sure that sh has run into what she calls "mere-otters"(seals). Weather her neighbors believe it or not is another story.
Lette is a bright and happy critter, but her curious and nomadic nature often lead her to wandering off or floating away for days at a time. She is open, Whimsical, always happy to make a new friend and would love to find others that dance to the beat of a different drum.

Skunk - They/Them
9 Birch Street
Willowglade
August 12 (27)
Pip Pott
Pip is a small skunk with a large white stripe down their back, a piebald tail, and twinkling eyes. They can often be seen wandering down the road in a handknitted sweater and sturdy gloves to protect them as they forage.
Pip moved away from Mosswood to go to University, but has since returned to take over the family farm. The front room of their house is filled with books, ink stained papers, and forgotten cups of tea.
Pip is a socially minded skunk, with a large root cellar that is open to the public when the harvest is lean. In the winter, their favorite season, they sell and deliver warm soup to neighbors, and are never happier than when they're forging a path through snowdrifts with an armful of paper packages of books and soups. During the warmer months, Pip can be found foraging for herbs and seeds, preserving food, or exploring nooks and crannies of the area that no one goes near.
While Pip loves visitors, they often have attacks of shyness and hide when an unexpected neighbor comes calling. However, Pip is also notorious for showing up at your door at the most inconvenient of times. They make up for this habit by always bringing a thoughtful gift.

Quinn Vanillafur
A small delicate white mouse with intense blue eyes.
Quinn has lived in Brambleton her whole life on the edge of Brambleton. She's a kind hearted mouse with a strange aura. Recently many children of Brambleton have started to visit her in her Willow Tree and some have been seen sneaking away as if to hide that they had been there at all.
Quinn Vanillafur's place is an odd looking Willow Tree nestled in the U bend of the Brambleton Brook, a place of calm that welcomes all. You find that it is a rather large space for such a small mouse but that is to accommodate her sometimes larger guests and... clients? Quinn's is the place many children find safe and comforting as she is always there for the young ones when they get hurt as a result of some trouble they shouldn't have gotten into. She cares for all with her mysterious mojo without question or judgement.
Some understand her strange ways of healing while others may hesitate with fear unable to comprehend the unusual powers. Quinn's is home to many strange things that might sometimes seem impossible for such a small mouse to acquire. Are they ingredients? Catalysts? Who knows...


Ms. Roisin Alannah Corcoran
Roisin's fur is a sleek reddish brown (she likes to refer to it as cinnamon). Her green eyes sparkle with amusement. Just a tiny bit under average height, She is almost always seen wearing dresses she's made for herself and carrying a small basket filled with needles, thread, measuring tape, and other small sewing tools. If she is wearing pants, adventure time is afoot!
Roisin grew up in Brambleton, though she has traveled to other areas of Mosswood. She is the middle child of 5 Mice, and her parents were very caring of the family. Her mother is still alive, as are her 4 siblings. Her father unfortunately died of a mysterious sickness when she was 25. She loves to investigate new happenings, and also make sure that her friends have the best clothing to help them achieve their social or other needs.
