Ya like whatcha see?Heres some snippets of info below!

Top left: - [ ] Oc Amber the beast being primarily porcupine but can slightly shift to make other appendages (moth& gargoyle are most but possibly snail shell protection shell)Actually has 2 eyes in what seems to be her eye brows . Her power came from the chaos emeralds radiation long before the master emerald was forged by MidNights pack. They meet and we’ll fell in love after a few outings. But a curse by the cult of “ the eyes” separated her from her love. As the herd was forced to flee and take the sacred moonstone to a terrarium on the moon. MidNight is the last guardian and sorrowfully placed a shield so strong that only once every decade she allows Amber to visit. Amber then decided to protect the earthly beings from the cults of eyes. By becoming a assassin primarily killing those involved in the cult. Takes out the cult but one day is slipped up and unable to stop a sacrifice from happening but protects the child left behind from the event. Promising to raise a grand magic user and protect the child with all her might.

Top right: - [ ] Oc MidNight the Moon Spirit a serpent & dog like creature with antler horns that have eyes inside the antlers protecting a powerful moonstone from the “black obsidian eyes “ misses her earth bound girlfriend. Her pack used their crystal magic to create the Master emerald long ago. She misses her pack and lover but thankfully isn’t lonely thanks to her small space terrarium filled with plants and small snakes and tarantulas and other creepy crawlies who need recovery and care , brought by Amber, to keep her company till she she’s her love again . Midnight cares for them with all her hearts. (She has 2 mind you) She keeps an eye on her love via a magic reflection pool, she wishes the pool would let her talk to the earthly creatures. But for now she trains and protects the last relic of her pack.

HERE THEY ARE MESSY BUT HERE!

Sometimes a family is made of a magical cult experiment, a demonic dragon dog guardian and a survivor of a family murder! :)

Appreciating physical attributes (such as small chests; shorter than you; soft facial features) is ok, but not when applied to a child.

Appreciating a lust for life most adults have lost is ok, but not when taken to mean a child.

Exploiting children for their attributes (such as vulnarability; inability to fight back due to size, strength, & trust placed in them; naivety; innocence; the ability for you to control them) is never ok. It’s not ok to exploit anyone for these attributes (including disabled ppl).

If your taste in physical appearance of partner draws you to youth: get therapy.

If you or a partner is missing lust for life or the innocence of childhood & this draws you to youth: get therapy & maybe go swing around a stop sign next time you’re on a walk. 

If you’re so insecure that you feel the need to take advantage of someone vulnerable: get therapy.

Pedophiles do not belong in the LGBT+ community. Pedophilia is not a kink. Pedophilic thoughts are part of mental illness, and therapy should be sought out to address those thoughts. Pedophilic actions are objectively horrific and unforgivable.

Children cannot consent. Children cannot consent. Children cannot consent.

That would be really cool! I have no idea how they'd get into that sort of situation but I imagine that character would be really fun to write.
