~.:: Deceased ::.~ 
Name Meaning: A flowering plant in the genus Primula. The species is native throughout most of temperate Europe and Asia, and although absent from more northerly areas including much of northwest Scotland, it reappears in northernmost Sutherland and Orkney.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Buck
Mate: ---
Offspring: Firefly, Underwing, Cricket, Oxlip, Silver Y, Lunar Moth
Personality: Cowslip is generally an extremely easy fellow to get along with and a solid rock of good sense. He's a bit big as far a size goes, but his soul is a gentle one and he rarely ever gets aggressive. He's the passive sort, but won't ever back down from a bobstone challenge and he finds telling tall tales to be an interesting thing, indeed.
Learning to be a wild rabbit has been an interesting challenge for the young, captive bred buck, but he is up for the challenge and has proven himself to be quick on his paws.
History: The white and black spotted rabbit was born to a small litter at a human warren and, for the first many moons of his life, thought that was all there was to the life of a rabbit. He ate well, slept easy, and even spoke frequently to the two-legged creature's cat.
Surprisingly enough, it was from this fat, aging farm cat that Cowslip learned of the world outside the barn that he and his siblings resided in. Derby had little to do with hunting, now that his joints ached and his sight was going, so he had little qualms with talking to the creatures he would of hunted in his earlier years.
His tales of the outside world and of true, wild rabbits fascinated the young buck, who took it upon himself to find this unknown wonder. The rabbits that were caged with him, his brother, sisters, mother, and a handful of others, refused to follow him on his wild goose chase. Why would they want to leave the safety of their home, after all?
On the first chance he got, he darted from the cage. The two-legged human that had opened the damned thing was neither pleased or amused as the white and black rabbit disappeared out of the barn (and the cat did nothing about it, as he had promised). It didn't take too terribly long for the spotted creature to find Watership Down and, fortunately, harm had not fallen on him during his travel.
He lives quite comfortably, now, and often will tell other rabbits of his adventures. Yeah, so most of them are exadurated, but others don't have to know that. The cheerful, robust figure does what he can to help out and his warren comes first, although he was not born there.

Name Meaning: A genus of about ten species of flowering plants in the family Rosaceae, native to North America (most of the species) and northeastern Asia (one species).
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Seer
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Personality: Ninebark is certainly an odd one, and anyone in his warren would let you know right away. It isn't just his appearance, but his haunting personality an his tendency to "see things" that aren't there.
He won't hesitate to tell rabbits things, either. He tends to be overly blunt at times and his saving grace would probably be his size and the rumors of a curse floating around him. Otherwise his fellow lapine might be a little more aggressive with him.
History: He was born to your average marli, so it wasn't like there was some mysterious circumstance surrounding his mother or father, though he was the only little, newborn kitten that wasn't still born.
His mother cared for him, regardless, and doted on him like any mother would. Still, he was a strange one from the start and she couldn't help but to wonder if he had poisoned her litter by some means or another. Maybe he was a curse to her or to the entire warren. His ears were too long and he could not hold them up. They fell to the sides of his head and until he grew into them, it wasn't unusual to see him trip or fall. His fur was another odd matter. His mother was light grey, his father was pale tan. His siblings had mingled pelts of both types.
His was crimson red, a color of death and blood.
It was at an early age that he began telling his mother that he kept seeing a fox. It was in the warren, underground, which was physically impossible. Already bothered by the cruel that was surrounding her son, she told no one. Several moons later, his mother was carried away by said fox, leaving him to take care of himself. His father would not claim him.
He grew, though, and rapidly. He was a hefty fellow and his ears, though still floppy, no longer hung under his paws. He was considered a creep and while he was let alone to stay with the other rabbits, he stuck to the edges and rarely communicated with the others. He made his presence well known, when death seemed to "dance" in the warren, but his words were considered false and after the first few times of attempting to warn his fellow lapine, he gave up and let death come to them.
He has come to live in Watership Down, but tends to remain aloof and on the outskirts, avoiding conflict with the rabbits that live there already.

Name: Rainfall
Name Meaning: Falling rain!
Gender: Female
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Doe
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Personality: Rainfall is and always has been bursting with large quantities of energy and lusts for something interesting or full of adventure in life. the lanky, reddish-hued female spends much of her time in the warren, hamming it up with other rabbits that enjoy a good time, or rambling on at those who wish that she would continue on her merry way. Though she has never been a marli, she does like kittens... She's just not sure if she's that fit to be one! She's kitten-sat on a few occasions, but she's not too terribly fond of the idea of having quite so much responsibility, even if she gets the feeling as though she sould be spreading her genes once in a while.

Name Meaning: A wild, European shrub with white flowers. It is sometimes used as a garden plant in the British Isles, due to it's ability to grow in poor soil, though it sometimes escapes into the wild.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Owsla Officer
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Personality: Solid, stern, and generally a rabbit who is not a fan of what he considers to be "Nonsense." He takes his position as an officer extremely seriously and spends a great deal of time monitoring the Down and chastising other rabbits as he sees fit. His reactions are swift, but everything he does is well thought out and methodical. He refuses to let emotions rule his behavior and does his best to serve his warren well.
That's not to say he doesn't know how to have a good time and it is not uncommon for him to pause and listen to story tellers or participate in other warren activities, but generally he tends to be more task and duty oriented and won't hesitate to make that known.
History: Badassi was born to the warren, much like the vast majority of it's other inhabitants, and was raised by his strict parents to be much like them in every way. Both were Owsla officers and held the same expectations of their sons and daughters. As Badassi surpassed his siblings in size and abilities, their hopes rested on him. This is due to the flemmish rabbit that runs through his veins and his siblings, too, were a bit on the larger size than average. He is exceptionally large in comparison to others, as where his parents and their parents and so on.
There were no astounding feats in his past that caused him to gain rank. He merely did as he saw fit, as far as keeping his age-mates in line as while he was an outskirter and he eventually caught the eye of his superiors. It is his loyalty to the warren and his sense of duty, even at a young age, that got him up to where he is today.

Name Meaning: A combination of words, part being greatly revered or respected and the past tense of falling.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Buck
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Personality: Bold, sharp, and fleet of paw. He had once been a young recruit into the Owsla of his former warren, but being young and brash, as well as still unsure of his limits and abilities, he quickly came to ruin.
Now he is slightly older and volumes wiser. He is still swift on his paws and possesses a sharp mind, but he is less willing to venture into needless and reckless danger. He is determined to survive and bring honor and help to the rest of his new warren...
But he is a flirt. Despite his scars, he is certain he is a handsome fellow and isn't above chasing a fem or two.
History: Hallowfell was born smaller than his two elder sisters, but he did not lack in courage or spunk. He was a speedy little thing and quick to volunteer around the warren. It wasn't too long before he was noticed and recruited into the Owsla as a young Officer.
The proud youngster did all he could to live up to his title and was bound and determined to prove his worth. The problem was that with his bravery and want to prove himself also brought danger and heartache to his marli. You see, it was during his early seasons as an adult that he found himself captured. The flayrah had looked so delicious, and the poor young officer (momentarily forgetting all his training), slipped right into the human trap. Most of his time spent amongst the humans, most of the time was spent clouded over with fear and pain.
Then suddenly, he was free again, left in the same spot he had disappeared. He returned immediately to his warren, ear heavy with an identification tag. Upon returning, his fellow Owsla immediately set on him, tearing him apart, due to his lack of common sense and for the fact that he could very well bring the humans back to their warren.
He spent a brief time as a battered hlessi, before finding refuge at Watership Down, and he is now determined to make up for his past mistakes and serve his warren well.

Name Meaning: Ginkgo is a genus of highly unusual non-flowering plants with one extant species, G. biloba, which is regarded as a living fossil.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Owsla Officer
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Personality: Short tempered. That nearly completely sums him up. He is on the small side and is incredibly sensitive about his size, not to mention he feels the world owes him in some way, shape, or form and his ego is almost perpetually stoked due to his position just under Cocklebur. He's got the rabbit equivolent of angry-short-man syndrome and will do what he can to appear tougher and larger than he truly is. He's stubborn, hard headed, and apt to act more brashly than he should, but he does take his position seriously and while he is often seen as a bully, he will do what he can for warren rabbits. Rabbits outside the warren? Not so much.
History: Ginkgo was born to an Owsla officer and a pretty, young doe several seasons back. He always seemed smaller than his brothers and sisters and didn't grow nearly as rapidly as they did. He was picked on due to his small size and developed a ruthless mean streak in response. He wasted no time putting his siblings in their places, and continued to do so with every rabbit he crossed. Eventually, he found his way into the Owsla.

Name Meaning: Azolla is a genus of seven species of aquatic ferns in the family Salviniaceae. They are extremely reduced in form and specialized, looking nothing like conventional ferns but more resembling duckweed or some mosses.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Buck
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Personality: He is slightly on the small side, but doesn't lack enthusiasm. He isn't nearly as bold as his mother or father, or as bold as most of his siblings for that matter. He tends to be on the shy side and a bit of a momma's boy, and when he is not with his mother he is tagging along after his favored sibling, Azarra. He is known to somewhat exaggerate when telling stories, especially about his own feats or the feats of his father. As he aged, he eventually did grow in to his feet, but still has floppy, floppy ears like his mother and while he would do what he can to be of service within the warren, he doesn't have near the conviction that his father possesses.
History: He hasn't done much with his life, thus far. He doesn't much fancy the outside world and prefers the safety of his mother's burrow.
Parents: Cocklebur x Duskshadow

Name Meaning: Dropwort, also known as Fern-leaf Dropwort, is a perennial herb of the family Rosaceae closely related to Meadowsweet. It is found in dry pastures across much of Europe and central and northern Asia.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Buck
Mate:Deceased
Offspring: Yarrow, Chamomile, Daisy
Personality: Dropwort is of the kindly and understanding nature. His ears are always open if one needs to get something off of his or her chest and he will do what he can to bring comfort to those around him, but he isn't afraid to say what the other needs to hear. He can be stern, but is never thoughtless and finds himself very protective over those he holds dear, even though he really isn't one to fight anymore. He is on the older side and wouldn't be able to hold his own against a stronger rabbit.
History: This brightly hued buck was born and raised in the hutch of a human and has been a beloved human pet for some time. In that time he has had friends and family, a mate, and three lovely daughters. Many seasons have passed, however, and only he and his daughters remained. He holds them very dear and will do anything to keep harm from falling on them.
