Faking that we're having a good time.

Purple deadnettle (Lamium purpureum)

Fallon (left): Fallon is Caprio's mother. Back before she was a mom, she was a crazy party girl. She discovered rave while studying abroad in college. She would dye her fur cyan and paint her hooves and horns blue, but these days she wears her fur color naturally and keeps a little cyan streak in her hair as a memento. She's generally relaxed and carefree, but can be a bit impulsive at times. Her husband, Ricot, who she met while studying abroad, tends to keep her balanced. She loves her family dearly. She's also one of the few characters I have with a full DOB (July 5, 1978. In the 'canon' she is currently 35.)

Ellixe (top left): She's a dragon from another world searching for rare magic crystals in Hertz's world. She was always an outcast and can't quite cope when she accidentally kills her only friend. She's powerful, but not strong enough to revive someone. The crystals will help her fix everything. Hertz becomes integral in her plans since one of the crystals is hidden in hell. What better way to deal with your problems than to manipulate a child and dump all your baggage onto her? Why does it matter so long as you get what you want?

Ember (top right): She's a monster of some sort. Possibly undead since she doesn't have a neck and her head just floats. She can use magic and cast spells, but she still has a lot to learn. She may or may not be Ellixe from an alternate dimension.

Emerald (bottom left): She is Jade's mother and the wife of a successful businessman (his name is Sylco but I'm not drawing him since he's so minor.) She was a clique-y mean girl in high school who never quite matured past that. These days, she's your typical pushy mom on the PTA scrabbling for an ounce of control in her life since her husband is most definitely cheating on her while going on so many "business trips." At some point she truly did want to help out the schools, but now it's just a power trip. Such is life. She's a pronghorn, but I originally wanted to make her a gazelle.

Caprio (first row, left): We've seen this young goat once before. He is the first friend Hertz makes by herself. He's a simple boy who likes video games and playing with his friends. He is also friends with Bianco. He has a creative mind and comes up with unique solutions to problems, but there is usually an easier way. He is timid, easily startled, and prone to fainting.

Capsaicin (first row, right): He is not part of the story. He is the embodiment of fear/the flight response. He has difficulty speaking and stutters often. His tail broke off and regrew which is why it is crooked.

Caramel (second row, left): She is one of Caprio's classmates. She doesn't know a lot, but she's got a big heart. She does nothing to harm anyone. She is scared of Hertz and tries to avoid her. When she grows up, she wants to be a teacher.

Celia (second row, right): She is a "cactus lizard," but I would say she is more plant than animal. Her clothes are a personal choice since she has nothing to cover. She reproduces like a plant: by pollination. She lives in the desert and must defend herself from crazies who want to cut her open and take her water. They don't know she can just share by ejecting it from her mouth, which is considerably less painful for her. She does not have a role in Hertz's story.

Cerise (third row, left): She was too kind for her own good and perished. Really, her only role in the story is to be dead. She was Ellixe's only friend. When Ellixe tried to help her fly, she wound up falling to her death. Now Hertz gets some extra trauma on top of her trauma.

Chaud (third row, right): AKA, "chaud.exe." He is a "cyber shark" created by an unknown individual with unknown motives. He went "rogue" and escaped his creator and took refuge in Katja's computer. His motives aren't clear, but he's doing what he thinks is right. He fights against viruses and malware. He has encountered Binary a few times and he is not particularly fond of her.

Chevron (fourth row, left): We've met her before a few times. She is one of Caprio's classmates. Her parents died in a car accident, so she is raised by her relatives. Perhaps as a result of that, she is morbidly fascinated with dark subjects such as death. She is also very fascinated with hell, so when Hertz joins the class, she is ecstatic. When she grows up, she is probably going to work at a morgue.

On a wildly unrelated note, as I was drawing the above, this had started playing which caused me to become very distracted. The original version of that song came out in January 1996, so Noodle would have been 5, turning 6 later that year. I drew an EVEN TINIER BABIER NOODLE running around as children tend to.
