Anklebones

Anklebones' obssessions include tea, fantasy literature, pink hair, feathers, hot baths, the aquisition of new and unusual pets, and the creation of strange new creatures via her favorite media, clay.She prides herself on being an eccentric intellectual, and is constantly being told to stop being so bull-headed/stubborn/impetuous by all members of her large family.

She divides her time between three rats (Carivagio, Bellicose and The Biscuit), a hellishly loud bird (Roc), two dogs (Abby Road and Toby), and three cats (Ed, Goblin, and Timothy), and an extrememly boring bearded dragon lizard named Tarsal.

Being that she's constantly busy day-dreaming, Anklebones is terribly clumsy. Wormwood likes to remind her that she once tripped over a painted line.

She enjoys clever romantic comedies, reading for hours on end, beating people senseless at scrabble, costuming, collecting bones, and using long confusing terms to describe average everyday things.

Her perfect day would be sleeping in until noon, having cheesecake for breakfast then reading/drawing/sculpting outside accompanied by an endless cup of hot naked tea, and someone to tell her how wonderful she is on a regular basis.

At the moment she is something of a transient, hopping from home to home every four or five months, and taking a year off from her illustration program at Sheridan College. She'll settle down when she meets that rich, adorable, good natured, lesbian veterinarian who lives in a rambling farmhouse with a creek and horses.

Wormwood

the Striped Hyena

Wormwood spends a good deal of time dreaming up alternate realities, and arranging angst-riddled/amusing characters within them. Wormy also drinks coffee to excess, and holds entire conversations with animals. As a hyena, Wormy loves collecting bones bits of fur, and various other segments of dead things, as well as starting fires and horror films.

Sharing an apartment with Celorn (the fiance) as well as a veritable menagerie of animals makes like interesting, to say the least.

A perfect day in the life of Wormwood would consist of a leisurely breakfast of cheesecake and coffee served around noon, followed by an afternoon of hiking/drawing and a long evening of camp-fire stories and ghost-hunting.

Though Wormwood is fond of pretending to be a formidable intimidating ogre, she can be defeated with relative ease if a sacrificial offering of pie and/or pretty stones is made.

Currently interested in the rather crooked path of self-discovery, Wormwood is exploring her own possible therianthropy with the help of her totems.

It should also be noted that Wormwood dances badly (envision a drunken water buffalo wearing wool socks on a newly waxed floor), and enjoys singing silly filk off-key.

She also desperately wants a banjo, as it would make her happier than a dog up a proverbial bone tree.
