Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: ---
Mate: Moonsong
Offspring: Firefly, Underwing, Cricket, Oxlip, Silver Y, Lunar Moth
Theme: On the Bright Side - Never Shout Never [x]
Tag: [x]
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: ---
Theme: Sound of Silence - Simon & Garfunkel [x]
Tag: [x] [x]
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. He misses his former warren and those who passed, despite the hardships he suffered there.

Name Meaning: Rain falling. < u>
Gender: Female
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: ---
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Theme: Kill Your Heros - AWOLNATION [x]
Tag: ---
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. Currently, she's enthralled with the idea of becoming a runner, but with how quickly her fancy changes, who knows how long she'll desire to do such a thing.
History: Rainfall's history was rather uneventful. She was born to a buck and a doe that had also been born on the down and she was happily raised with three other kittens. She was always somewhat of a handful to rear, getting in to nearly everything and bothering nearly everyone, but she is a sweet natured doe and always one to help others when the need arises. She expects to spend her days on the down, just as her parents did, and while she has high aspirations, she isn't daft in the head and knows her home.

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: ---
Theme: ---
Tag: ---
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, but that's not to say he doesn't know how to have a good time, nor does he not have any vices. His reactions are usually 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. He is a fairly hefty buck and he is not afraid to throw his weight around, but given his size, being nearly as large as his full blooded mother, he is not as quick as other rabbits and he can't enter every burrow.
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: Taproot
Name Meaning: A straight tapering root growing vertically downward and forming the center from which subsidiary rootlets spring.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: ---
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Theme: ---
Tag: ---
Personality: Taproot feels as though there is a weight on his shoulders and wants to make his parents proud - particularly his father. He's impressionable and it isn't hard for those he looks up to to manipulate him in to doing things he might not otherwise. He's somewhat of a soft buck, even if he doesn't try and act like it. His floppy ears tend to get in the way, but not so much that he can't function.
History: He was born to the captain of owsla and a lop eared doe. He grew quickly in the warren's warmth and safety, but doesn't particularly like to venture far.

Name Meaning: A deciduous Chinese tree related to the conifers, with fan-shaped leaves and yellow flowers.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: Owsla Officer
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Theme: ---
Tag: ---
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 knows he is a favorite due to Cocklebur's trust in him and won't hesitate to use this to his own advantage. He's not all that bad, however. He really does care about the warren in general, even if he has a funny way of expressing it.
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. He did have a close relationship with an older sister, Alderberry, from a different litter.

Name Meaning: Fallen from honor.
Gender: Male
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: ---
Mate: ---
Offspring: Dogsbane, Dogstooth
Theme: ---
Tag: ---
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.

Personality: Ever since she was small, Hlal'loir had been bursting at the seams with energy. She is enthusiastic and eager to go and do, though she does have a smart head on her shoulders. There are more than just a few tricks in her basket and it is because of this that she has managed to survive so long with her brash, bold, and overwhelming curiosity. She is a stern, yet loving rabbit and wants to raise the next generation good and proper.
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: Hlal'loir had been born and raised by her marli in Watership Down. The litter was large and Hlal was the smallest of her many brothers and sisters, but she never lacked enthusiasm or spunk. She was quick to join the fleet footed runners and was one of very few for quite a while.

Personality: Level headed, quick pawed, yet friendly and willing to help those around him. He is proud of his rank in the warren and feels as though he is finally pulling his weight. He's not without his vices, sloth being a terrible one. He's extremely fast when he gets going, but when he's tired and having a lazy day, he's quite sluggish.
History: Patchouli is a typical lad, born and bred to the down. His parents weren't of any real notoriety and he feared he would die in obscurity before proving himself.

Name Meaning: A bushy aromatic Eurasian plant of the daisy family, with feathery leaves and daisylike flowers.
Gender: Female
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: ---
Mate: ---
Offspring: ---
Theme: ---
Tag: ---
Personality: She is the passive aggressive sort and will do what it takes to get her way any way she can. Of course she does have a soft spot for the young ones and a strong maternal instinct, but she has yet to have kittens herself. It isn't that she hasn't tried. She just can't seem to get pregnant. It tends to make her sad, but mostly angry. She cares about the warren, the youngsters, and does what she can to help out, but she feels looked over.
History:Feverfew was born and raised in Watership Down. Not much out of the ordinary has occurred in her lifetime, save for the passing of her siblings, thanks to the jaws of a homba. She's probably closer to being middle aged, though there are members in the warren far older than she.

Name: Wildwood
Name Meaning: An uncultivated wood or forest that has been allowed to grow naturally.
Gender: Female
Warren: Watership Down
Rank: ---
Mate: Pitchweed
Offspring: Titmouse, Toadflax, Inkcap, Tawnytuft
Theme: ---
Tag: ---
Personality: She is certainly not a pleasant doe to run in to and she will almost never be found alone. She is extraordinarily close to her only known relative, her darkly hued brother called Pitchweed. The pair seem almost fused, often times easily finishing each others thoughts and sentences, but that is probably only due to the cruel streak that the two close siblings share.
Her brother is the only companion she wants and needs. No other rabbit can be trusted like he, and, well, that was the way she was raised back in her birth warren.
History: She and her brother were born and raised in another warren, but it withered and died as they were outskirters and they sought sanctuary in Watership Down.

Gender: Male

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 any more. He's a wee bit 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.
