Her eyes are a deep shade of brown, appearing almost entirely black at first glance and her skin is lightly tanned (beneath the layer of dirt that so often coats it). She has thick, untamed eyebrows and even thicker raven black hair that is unevenly cut just below her chin. Wren is rarely seen without her handcrafted tiara of carefully chosen twigs, adorned with an old broken broach that rests on the center of her forehead. Though a lovely (if somewhat crude) headpiece, the ornament is typically half hidden by a choppy curtain of side swept bangs as well as a large, pointed hat. The hat is made of sturdy fabric, once likely belonging to someone quite practical. Now in Wren's possession, however, it seems as though it has seen better days. Thus is the tale of most nice things belonging to Wren-- namely a thick cloak with slits (to accommodate the massive backpack she carries around with her), boots so tattered that they are scarcely held together by a few strips of old, discolored clothe, leather leggings with several rips and tears, a ratty old tunic and a terribly abused fur vest. Wren’s love for collecting pretty things comes through in the many trinkets adorning her person. “Pretty”, in this case, being as objective as Wren is discerning. The nearly flawless skull of a young deer and a pair of small antlers tied with twine drapes over the front of her bag, clinking and clattering wherever she goes. Also of her own design, a string of small bones, smooth and interestingly shaped rocks, and tiny, milky white crystals hangs around her neck. She is a creative soul, using only the finest of feathers to braid into her hair while using those less perfect for restocking the short skirt that peaks out from under her tunic and cloak. Wren’s presence doesn’t only bring with it spectacular visuals and auditory delights, however. There is no single word that perhaps does the olfactory assault of her nearness more justice than “strong”. Her scent is very earthy with the undertone of pungent body odor that tends to occur when rain water and occasional dips in the creek during the warm months is one’s only association with hygiene. Her finest saving grace are the flowers and herbs she collects and decorates her hat with regularly. Rosemary, thyme, sweet woodruff and sage all serve as a mostly sturdy mask. They also happen to compliment Wren's floral arrangments quite well-- which, of course, is what's really important.

A phantom, an imp, a witch. An evil, mischievous thing that would steal your belongings and slip a razor sharp claw between your ribs the moment you weren’t looking. The truth is far less mystical. Wren grew up in the woods alone. For how long, nobody knows. Even Wren tends to have a difficult time recalling the order of events. Calendars aren’t very commonly found in the woods—nor are helping hands. Wren learned quickly that animals and the elements are rarely ever on your side (as she had once heard in so many fairytales). Even so, in her younger years she relied heavily on her imagination to combat the harsh truths of her world. She would never surrender control, she decided. Before long, the forest was her kingdom and she, its ruler. Anyone else was either a trespasser or subject—neither of which she was very prone to trusting. She has since done away with such childish fantasies, coming to better understand her place in the world as well as society. Still, old habits die hard and Wren is still Wren. She will never surrender control. [img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/c4dc/f/2014/238/0/7/feather_by_mahohaku-d7wubr9.png[/img] [color=5a7c86]Brief Personality:[/color] Wren is a young woman of very few words— both figuratively and literally. Though her vocabulary is limited, however, Wren is very opinionated, stubborn, and will not hesitate to look down her nose at anyone she deems 'odd'. Given the longevity of her estrangement, she has had yet to meet a single person for which a different adjective was even necessary. Even Amelie is a poor example of an exception. Wren is very crafty. Wood whittling and jewelry making are only a few of many hobbies she took on during her life of solitude in the woods. Her ability to create was certainly essential when it came to trapping meals, but she prefers crafting animal figurines and necklaces to such practicality. Still, a girl's got to eat. Sometimes, however, food tends to run scarce. During such times of need, the mulishly sovereign Queen Wren concocted a way in which to obtain provisions. Trade. And with the value she placed on her many creations being so ridiculously high, a humiliatingly unfair one at that. Over the years, she has come to acknowledge the fact that a few of her trades [i]may[/i] have tipped a bit in her favor, but by then her theivery methods had become more reliant on habit than sense. [img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/c4dc/f/2014/238/0/7/feather_by_mahohaku-d7wubr9.png[/img] [color=5a7c86]Emotional Bond:[/color] The tale of Wren and Amelie began in much the same way as any person trying to bond with a stray animal. For over a year, Amelie was nothing more than a source of food and the occasional sock. Over time, however, Wren reluctantly began to feel for the girl. In spite of her best judgement, she found herself tormented by feelings she hadn't felt for anyone but the vague recollection of a mother that often made her feel sad and uncharacteristicly alone on dark and stormy nights. It was grudging at first, but eventually Wren's visits became more frequent and she found that being in the company of someone like Amelie suited her quite well. At the present, Wren is very protective of Amelie (though she still often struggles with flighty tendencies). Amelie is reliably her very best and only friend. In a way, she feels as though the girl is hers. Always there whenever she chooses to hang around and never too far behind when she decides to wander.

Never having ventured very far from her forest, she knows it like the back of her hand. Her size certainly helps when it comes to fitting inside nooks and crannies. And although small she could certainly out climb just about anyone. Other than that, Wren's only defense is her trusty whittling knife. It has served her well, but has rarely ever been used in actual combat. Her commitment to avoiding human contact is most likely to thank for that. Aside from the occasional scuffle with a territorial animal, Wren has no outstanding combat experience.

Additionally, Wren is easily stumped by complex problems, puzzles, and large words. This almost always results in swelling frustration for Wren, but more importantly can cause a fatal break down in communication as she often has a hard time admitting when she doesn't understand.

[img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/c4dc/f/2014/238/0/7/feather_by_mahohaku-d7wubr9.png[/img] [color=5a7c86]Function:[/color] As the eloquent name chosen by Wren suggests, this ability traps an enemy in place by summoning powerful roots from the earth. The roots wrap around what ever part of the target is closest to the ground, though they cannot reach anything past 3 feet. Wren's roots can spawn within and pierce through solid rock, granite, and wooden floor boards, thus enabling her to use the ability in less likely places. The range within which Wren's target must be is 25 yards. The hold only lasts 5 seconds and can only be used as quickly as a 30 second interval will allow.

[img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/c4dc/f/2014/238/0/7/feather_by_mahohaku-d7wubr9.png[/img] [color=5a7c86]Function:[/color] This spell works in tandem with Amelie's gear. It summons rose vines that wrap tightly around the gear, enveloping it with red, white, and pink roses as well as sharp, slightly larger than average thorns. The vines will stay in place for up to ten minutes, although broken or dulled thorns will not regenerate. Wren must wait the full 10 minutes before she is able to recast the spell.

It only takes a second to initially summon, however she must wait at least two minutes before switching from one toxin to another. While her ability is in effect, her insides are immune to the chosen toxin, however, Wren is still susceptable to her own toxins via skin contact and whenever her ability is turned off. Once a toxin leaves her mouth, it will remain potent for 24 hours before reverting back to regular spit. Additionally, Wren's tongue changes color depending on the toxin that is in affect. [hider=Toxins] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/b7nRUlX.jpg[/img] Jimsonweed[/center] This toxin causes horrifying hallucinations, paranoid delusions, and blurred vision, which can lingers for several seconds immediately after the affects have receded. Prolonged exposure and a very high dosage may result in death. Duration : 10 minutes. Must be ingested. Color : [color=fff79a]Yellow[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/NAZ0zem.jpg?1[/img] Coca[/center] This toxin, meant to be used as a temporary buff, causes mild euphoria, decreased appetite, decreased fatigue, increased mental and spatial alertness, and can numb pain. Alternatively, prolonged exposure and high dosages may result in scary tactile hallucinations. Duration : 10 minutes. Must be ingested. Color : White [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/wJ138QV.jpg?1[/img] Giant Hogweed[/center] This toxin merely requires skin contact to be effective. It begins as a red and itchy rash, rapidly developing into severe skin inflammation and blisters, which may leave behind permanent purple scars if not treated quickly. Duration : N/A Color : [color=662d91]Purple[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/7nbnsL6.jpg?1[/img] Valerian[/center] This toxin acts as a sedative and calming agent. Low doses can induce calm while higher doses induce sleep. Duration : Several hours, depending on the dosage. May be inhaled or ingested. Color : [color=F3C5DA]Light Pink[/color] [center][img]https://i.imgur.com/ChSBOaJ.jpg?1[/img] Gympie gympie[/center] This toxin causes a severly painful sensation of burning and electrocution, though it does not cause any any actual tissue damage outside of some light swelling and reddening of the affected area. Prolonged exposure could cause shock, but in most cases the pain is so severe that those with low mental fortitude may potential kill themselvesor beg for death. This toxin is [i]extremely [/i]potent. Duration : 5 minutes. May be ingested, inhaled, or injected. Skin contact results in light rash unless the skin is broken.

Not bad, but certainly not as great as she thinks she sounds. - Wren knows two songs. She'll often sing variations of the tunes, inserting words as she pleases if bored enough. It should go without saying that she doesn't understand some of the words in the actual lyrics, but sings them anyway. - [url= https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cLx-lRwNbsM]The Moss[/url] | [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TEjVzMafTmI]Garten Mother's Lullaby[/url][/color] [center][img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/af59/f/2017/035/2/4/24d155661456661f08efb0656f362831-daxw5p0.png[/img] [img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/7f57/f/2016/299/1/d/ftu___leaves_divider_by_snowbellss-damahmv.png[/img][img]https://i.imgur.com/pKSX0c9.png[/img][img]https://orig00.deviantart.net/68c8/f/2016/315/b/d/leaf_divider2__by_snowbellss-dao1y89.png[/img][/center][hr] [hider=Credits] - [url=https://8-bitspider.deviantart.com/]8-bitspider[/url] - [url=https://xgglitch.deviantart.com/]xgglitch[/url] - [url=https://mahohaku.deviantart.com/]mahohaku[/url] - [url=https://glassravenn.deviantart.com/]glassravenn[/url] - [url=https://akumiirako.deviantart.com/]akumiirako[/url] - [url=https://snowbellss.deviantart.com/]snowbellss[/url] - [url=https://moonlight-pendent13.deviantart.com/]moonlight-pendent13[/url] - [url=https://aelou.deviantart.com/]aelou[/url] [/hider] [/hider]
