When the storm comes, the flood, the trials, the tribulations, when the Swamp is in need, Little Voices walks past the struggling kin and seeks out the animals instead. She has always, from a very young age, considered those small creatures who are ruled only by instinct to be closest to the MotherFather. They cannot express their pain in words nor can they choose good or bad, and so must be aided when in need. Protecting and saving the beasts of the Swamp is a form of worship and Little Voices is always a diligent witch. However she finds herself awkward and tongue-tied around other kin so chooses to avoid most of them, unless you want to talk about how cute foxbuns and owlcats are, in which case you’ll have a hard time shutting her up.

A doe who once believed in romance and love, naive to the cruelties of the world her heart was broken. It took time but she slowly mended, though she'll never forget that first betrayal. Her children are her solace, though she sees some of those same traits their father hid during courtship - she hopes history doesn't repeat. Somewhere deep down she still hopes to find her one true love.

Deceptive, violent, fractured

Shot Me Down aka Bang is trouble. She might be beautiful, but gentlemen, best keep your distance if you value your man-parts as she’s very likely to tear them off at the end of the day. According to Bang, you deserved it. You’re the one who let her down in the name of love. You are the reason for her heartache. At the first meeting she is as sweet as pie; soft, gentle, meek. The perfect female, she wants nothing more than to please you however she can. But her mind is cracked and the second you do something wrong, you are the enemy. She expects to be hurt and so she looks for any, tiny slight that will reveal his perfidy. Talk to another female, say the wrong thing, don’t pay attention as she’s talking… it will all land you in hot water and ‘hell hath no fury like a woman scorned’.



Awful Sound has been with Bang as long as she can remember. They don't always get along; having regular showdowns which include a great deal of biting and attempted stomping. But Awful will always fly to her defense if she is threatened and Bang will kick your ass if hurt him.



Bang does not like Boom. The feeling is mutual. A lot of blood has already been shed.

Reclusive, careful, soothing

Dreaming is not unkind, but she would rather you not stop and say hello. She is not shy; she would just rather be left alone. This doe is happy to exist on her own. She does her own thing, in her own time, and is content for it to remain so until her eventual death. However when she does come across others in those brief moments in which she allows others into her world, Dreaming is a soft and comforting companion.


The moth is barely there, a movement in your peripherial vision, a half remembered dream...

Is that Speak Softly coming? Don’t be fooled! Quickly, stuff your ears with something. Dirt, leaves, anything… oops, too late. Speak Softly is a loud and obnoxious girl who has no concept of personal boundaries. She’s there, in your face, saying it how she sees it. Blunt and to the point, she hasn’t quite got the concept that sometimes other kin can be hurt by such an approach. Even when somebody clearly is fed up with her presence she continues to follow along talking at the top of her voice about how hilarious their tail looks and just can't catch any normal social cues.

Previously... Forgotten considers himself the self-appointed leader of the group of siblings and is always the loudest voice to be heard. When times are tough he feels it is his task to drive them forward with both physical force and words, even when it looks like they can not take another step. His dream is for them to find happiness together in the swamp and he believes this can only be done by finding out their true origins. Forgotten does not like to be disagreed with, but his heart is always in the right place, even if his methods are sometimes a little over the top.

Currently... now a doting mate, Once Forgotten has given up on finding his father and his siblings have scattered across the Swamp. He found new meaning and a new family, falling head over heels for the cantankerous legendary Cue Queue and raising their children with love and enthusiasm. It gets lonely sometimes but he's settled happily as a homemaker, keeping their little patch well-tended and always hoping someone will come to visit.

History: They were born with markings that glowed along the edges of their skin, that lit up the night in a way that no Kiokote had seen in a very long time. Kiokote didn't glow; this was a strange phenomenon reserved only for fireflies and stars in the night sky.

Five siblings, they were treated with awe or terror, depending on who they were speaking to, but never quite fit in with their kin. Their mother, a somewhat bland black doe, retreated into the tall grass and only ventured back once in a blue moon, when the mood struck her, when she needed something or had a word of wisdom to offer.

They never knew their father.

This last time that their mother came creeping out of the grass, they had been old enough to press -- fully grown and anxious, uncertain about their futures and their pasts both. In the chill of night, clustered around a fire that sputtered and began to die in the wind, she had spun them a story about her own youth: traveling from the plains to a distant Swamp, her meeting with a strange not-Kiokote whose eyes had glowed like the brightest star they'd ever seen.

The siblings didn't know his name, nor the name Kimeti, but they did know that whoever he was, he'd understand where their bright patches of shining color came from. They knew he was in the swamp. And so that was where they headed.

Though grief and sorrow have mellowed his ire, Nose is still a negative and cantankerous sort. He is extremely anxious and doesn't know how to look on the bright side, unless you mean his adopted daughter, Posy. She's the only brightness in his life and has helped stave away his great and bitter loneliness.
