Bonnie Willow

Details

Bonnie is a small, nimble girl. She is pretty and she knows it - she pays a lot of attention to the way she looks and can be quite vain in that regard. She uses charcoal to create eyeliner around her eyes, for example. She hates being dirty or messy and will not let anybody see her like that. Her features have been described as cat-like before; her face is delicate and sharp. Although she is not strong, she is fast and graceful and quite good at sneaking around. She dresses mostly in simple clothing, because she doesn't have the money to buy the things she would like to wear.

Bonnie is at first sight a very sweet, considerate person. She is soft-spoken and warm. However, she is more egoistic than people would think - she's mostly thinking about herself, and will not hesitate to choose herself above another every time. This does not mean she is heartless; but she has a strong instinct for self-preservation, and so far that has suited her fine. As a result, she has very little close relationships, and sh prefers to keep others at a safe distance. She is a very curious person and likes to know all of the current gossip; but she's closed off about her own life, and will not volunteer information easily. She's sneaky and does not care much for rules, breaking the ones that don't seem useful to her with ease. She loves the attention of boys and girls alike and is quite flirty; she loves the physical side of relationship, but will not let anybody get very close on a mental level. Her life gets lonely, sometimes, but she's headstrong and always claims she prefers it that way.

Bonnie has specialized in shapeshifting into feline creatures, most commonly a cat. She has a talent for staying in animal form for quite a while - her record is three days, so far. However, the longer she tends to stay as an animal, the more she seems to lose her human side. When she becomes human again after being an animal for a long time, she might for example make the animals noises as a human or move her limbs as she would as an animal. After being a cat, she also always misses her tail for a while. She never really focused on the other aspects of druid magic, but because of her extensive experience in being a feline, she can understand them easier than she might other animals - but still not without effort. Shapeshifting into other kinds of animals might work for a litttle while, but not longer than an hour, and she can never move quite as gracefully in these bodies as she can as a cat. She is absolutely terrible at potion making, which she never had the patience for.

Bonnie was born in the Blue Moon Tribe. Her youth was unremarkable; she played with the other kids, discovered that she had a talent for shapeshifting, just like her brother and her mother - and just like her brother, she also prefers a feline creature, although hers is a cat to his tiger. Staying in cat form quickly became her favorite past-time. She never paid attention in the lessons they got, but she often snuck out to explore the environment. She didn't make a lot of friends, and as a child she could be more often found as a cat than as a human. But she quickly learned that this was not without danger. One time, when she had done something wrong and her mother was angry at her, Bonnie ran away and hid as a cat for three days. Eventually, she was found; her family was worried sick, of course, and even more so when she returned back to her human form and found she could only meow. Her talking returned after another day or so, but she knew then that she had to be careful about how long she stayed as an animl. She's not sure where the boundary lies, but she's not willing to risk not being able to return to human form. One day, her mother was found dead, killed by an unknown animal. This was when Bonnie started noticing a dark.. presence, mostly at night. Her brother was plagued by nightmares, but still became chief of the tribe. Although they were never that close, she was still proud of him. However, when she confided in Percival and told him of the dark presence that she noticed, he became weird; he decided it would be better for her to leave the tribe, for her own safety. Bonnie resented him a bit at first, but quickly came to peace with it, and in fact, she quite enjoys her new freedom to discover the world and learn new things. She traveled to Lemuria, to a city beneath the ocean called Lythrania, and got a job as a servant for the family ruling the city: the Vylasar family. She keeps her shapeshifting a secret, because she quite enjoys being able to walk around freely as a cat. The work is not hard, altough it is hard work, but it's a whole new world she knows nothing about and that intrigues her. She still sends letters to her brother from time to time, letting him know how she's doing.

- When shapeshifting into a cat, she always has a ginger fur and green eyes
