Character Sheet for Niamh Bebinn O'Malley
Sex/Gender
Female
Species
Eastern Cottontail/English Spot hybrid
Age
37
Personality
Niamh is a cheerful, friendly girl with a reputation for being far too curious for her own good and an un-rabbitlike fondness for strangers. She makes friends easily and is always happy to lend an ear to those who need one. However, under her soft exterior is a core of steel. She is afraid of very little, and she can be counted on to stand up for her friends and to fight for them if necessary. She can be quite sarcastic and she sometimes lets her temper get the better of her.
Likes/Dislikes
Likes: Foxes, whiskey, flowers, gardening, mushrooms, jewelry, chocolate, cuddling with her wife, having her ears petted, books.

Dislikes: Carrots, cold weather, fighting, running out of whiskey, uninvited touching, being hit on by males, being mistaken for a hare, people who make fun of her weight.
Background/History
Niamh is the youngest daughter of the O'Malley clan, which founded the city-state of Oseille. She is one of only four remaining members of the family. Niamh and her elder half-sibling Fiachra were orphaned at a young age when their mother was murdered, presumably by her father. She and Fiachra grew up in the care of their maternal grandmother, Saoirse. Her early life was mostly quiet and uneventful, until she and Fiachra befriended a young vixen named Ciara. Ciara was originally from the fox kingdom to the south and had come to Oseille to escape the end of a disastrous war. As foxes often will, she introduced a great deal of excitement into her new friends' lives, but she has ultimately been a positive influence on both Niamh and the rest of her family. Niamh has followed her all across their island home to stop two wars and to try to bring some kind of peace and order to the place.

As sometimes happens, Niamh fell in love with Ciara and after a relatively brief courtship the two of them married with the full approval of their families and friends. While she and Ciara share an open relationship and occasionally entertain friends and playmates, the two of them are inseparable.

Recently, Ciara has ascended to the throne of the vulpine kingdom, following the death of her step-mother in one of the many wars that plagues the island. Niamh has followed Ciara into her new life, eager as always to help her wife in any way she can. This effectively makes her the queen consort of the fox kingdom, a position she is quite honored by but which she cannot help but find slightly awkward.

Hmm.  Interesting.  If what I read is true, her ears are too short for a hare.  I have a hare character in a story I'm working on she explains to a human how to tell the physical differences between a rabbit and a hare, one of those differences was the length of the ears.

Oh, but Niamh isn't a hare. She's a rabbit, just like Megan. In fact, she's Megan's younger cousin. None of my lapine characters are hares, though I've often thought I should introduce one. I am please, however, that you recognize the difference between them. Far too many people I've met refuse to even acknowledge that rabbits and hares are different species.
MviluUatusun

Yeah.  I Googled the difference between rabbits and hares and it said that hares have relatively long ears and rabbits have relatively short ears.  It also said that hares have relatively long legs.  I like learning these things so I can use them later in creating my characters.  One of my failings in creating characters is that I tend to create carnivores before I create herbivores/omnivore characters.  I'm also not an artist so I have to commission someone to draw my characters for me.  That's why, if you look in my gallery, you won't see a lot of characters.
MeganBryar

They do, and hares tend to be considerably larger, too. I like them every bit as much as I like rabbits, but thus far I've never had a reason to put a hare into my stories so I just haven't gotten around to making any hare characters.

I don't know that focusing on carnivores is necessarily a failing. You like what you like, and there's nothing wrong with that. I have a fair number of carnivores in my menagerie as well. Mostly foxes, I'll admit, because I like foxes, but there are a few others as well.

I'm not an artist, either. I wish I were, because then I could draw my characters myself. I am a novelist, though, which is one of the reasons why I have so many characters here and there. I just can't resist getting art of as many of them as I can.

My top four favorite animals are lions, tigers, wolves, foxes.  After my top four, my favorites tend to change occasionally.  There are just so many animals that I like:  cheetahs, servals, leopards, jaguars, cougars/pumas, rabbits, bears, chinchillas, etc.  In my current story, I will occasionally need a character and I'll have to look through a list of non-ungulate land mammals to find one to fit what I need.  

Funny thing, I have a 42 year old female bear character who's in a relationship with a 28 year old male cougar.  It wasn't until two chapters later that I realized I had created a bear who was a cougar to a cougar.  LOL.  She's also in a relationship with a 34 year old female badger, although both of them prefer males to females.

Ask me for a list of favorites and I could probably go on forever with it. But I suppose my top favorites are rabbits, foxes, lynxes horses, margays and mice, and those are the species that tend to show up most in my stories. I think just about every species has something to recommend it, though, and I've been slowly warming up to wolves over the years, too.

Heh, that's kind of funny. Though I do wonder what pumas might think about that particular use of their name!
MviluUatusun

When I create a character I have to be a wee bit careful.  90+% of my anthro characters are tailless.  https://inkbunny.net/s/1219152  Consequently, if there are two species that are similar in looks, bobcats and lynxes, rabbits and hares for example, it would be difficult to use them, especially at the same time.

I don't know.  Pumas might be honored with how their species name is used since rabbits have a more famous tradition associated with their name.  LOL.
MeganBryar
5 years, 4 months ago
Yeah, I can see how that might potentially cause some confusion here and there. Though I'm sure there are other ways to help distinguish most species from each other, and I have a feeling that, as with rabbits and hares, most people won't bother to distinguish between bobcats and lynxes, either. So I'd say you might as well just have fun with them and not worry about it.

Perhaps they would be at that, and I have a feeling that at least some rabbits would be all too happy to shed at least some of their hypersexual reputation.
MviluUatusun

What I could do to add a little more humor to my story is have a lynx and bobcat married to each other and, deliberately, confusing everyone.  

One thing I couldn't do is I couldn't use the traditional ranges of them since my bear character I was telling you about is half polar bear whose father is from Finland.  A Finnish person I was corresponding with said there are no polar bears in Finland.  When I learned this, I decided that my anthro characters in my story were descended from zoo animals that had been genetically altered to become humanoid in looks.  Since this genetic alteration was taking place all over the world at the same time, these anthros have ancestry from every country in the world and, as a result, they speak all the languages just like humans do today.

Hah, that sounds like something I'd do! I like it!

That sounds like a pretty good solution. Of course, if they're sapient, whoever says that polar bears couldn't have decided to move to a new country, too? Then again, this is why I just made up my own little world. Nobody can say which species are or aren't native to fictional countries, which makes it easier for me to do as I please. I did have to come up with an explanation for how swift foxes, which are native to a small slice of North America, ended up in a setting with a vaguely medieval European flavor. But that was easily solved by having them be immigrants to a new land.
MviluUatusun

Moving to a country does make a little sense, except when that "person" has a family name derived from the local language.  Bertha Karhu, the bear I mentioned, has a name that, in Finnish, translates into bear.  So, technically, her real name is Bertha Bear.  LOL.  Of course, I also know that a lot of immigrants that came to America in the 19th and early 20th Centuries had their name changed, either by choice or by the immigration officials, and that could have happened in other countries as well.
MeganBryar

That is a fair point. Of course it's entirely up to you what explanations you come up with for these t hings, if any. But I suppose another possibility is that, since we are talking about a world that has sapient, anthropomorphic bears and other animals, who says it necessarily has to have a one to one relationship with the real world? Basically, if you want your character to be Finnish, I don't see why you can't just make her Finnish and who cares if the real country has polar bears or not? One of the nice things about fiction is the ability to explore the world as it might have been, not just how it is.
MviluUatusun

That's true.  In my story, it's Earth 20K years in the future and humans, because of a radical eco-terrorist group, are on the verge of extinction, less than 20 million left alive, because of a genetically altered HIV which they named the HEV (Human Extinction Virus).  After the humanimals become the dominant species after the fall of the human civilization, they go through the same histories that humans went through except that they know about all the other continents and actively trade with them.  With the creation of the humanimal civilization, they rename the old countries, provinces/states, cities, etc., using animal, plant, weather as part of the name, i.e. United Provinces of Amurica, Gargia, Catlanna, Jaguarville, Purssia, etc.  Believe me it was fun trying to come up with all those changes and make them believable.  LOL.
