This is Acacia Burdock, a Hedgehog lass in The Nonesuch Papers. She's totally a tertiary character, at best. However, after coming up with her drawing she told me (over rosehip tea, of course, lol):
She is from Kymry, our Wales. She has 3 older brothers, so she also has a great left hook, lol. She has a little lisp on her 's', but she speaks firmly. She's short & plump, quiet, but not shy & will stand up for herself. Her parents are both alive, Father cultivates roses of every hue for show, medicinal & magical purposes. Mother is in a collective with several of the Sheep ladies in town & she spins and dyes the wool they give.
Acacia is an Aetherglass Conduit, which means that she can open channels for people to make calls to to others & open the Aether for research. This is normally kind of a mundane job. But on Atlantis, the floating island, where the Aether as well as Ley lines are continually shifting, it is much harder & a good paying job.
The Nonesuch Papers website is up! [link] I giggle and tear up every time I think about where I'm going with this, equal parts excitement, pride and sheer terror. Please stop by for a look. Chapter 1 forthcoming!
