About Thistledown takes great pride in the fact that her father and grandfather before him were both runners. She has a runner's speed and endurance, but for a long time she doubted her own ability. As a young adult she raced her friend Falcon often, soon discovering that they had the same speed, determination, and competitive drive. When the warren called for runners, she gave in to nerves and sat out the first trial race, but entered the second one so that she could do her father's memory proud. She did well in the second and third races, earning her place as a runner. She was devastated to discover that her beloved friend Falcon died during the fifth race.
Thistledown is largely uninterested in bucks, but is willing to breed now and then for the good of the warren. She is attracted to does, but doesn't understand the emotion and tries to ignore it.

About Betony strives to be an ordinary doe. She's happiest when lounging on the down and flirting with bucks. She expects the owsla and runners to keep the down running, but will pitch in if she feels they aren't doing an adequate job. She has a sharp tongue and isn't afraid to use it.

About Thistledown's stories about Parsnip's brave father left their mark on him, but not the mark she was hoping for. Although he has all of his mother's raw talent and passion for running, Parsnip also has a paralyzing fear of death. He fears the farm most of all since that's where his father stopped running. He's determined to not follow his his parents' footsteps, but doesn't have the heart to break the news to his mother.

About Privet is big, dumb, and loyal. He's built like a tank and little phases him. Just point him towards whatever you want destroyed.
He kind of feels bad about all those rabbits dying during the take over, but doesn't know who to discuss his feelings with. He just wants a shoulder to cry on. Also flowers. Flowers make him happy.
Yona grew up in the taken-over warren and watched friends and relatives die during the invasion. His cousin was one of the runners who left and never returned. His mate died fighting. Yona did not fight; he hid and waited out the battle, surrendering as soon as he was found. He does not view himself as a coward, merely a realist. Small, scrawny... his mate picked him for his looks, not his brawn. There's no point in fighting a doomed fight.
Since he values survival so highly, Yona is oddly forgiving of the invaders, and even respects them for their strength and tactical know-how. He finds himself in a tough position under the new warren's rule, however. He isn't a member of the invading warren, making him suspicious, and he doesn't know all the new rules, making him liable to say or do the wrong thing.
He volunteered for the mission with a couple goals in mind: prove his loyalty, impress a female enough to get marked, and escape to Watership Down if he feels it's a safer/stronger warren. ((OoC note: The last goal is a closely kept secret and once he sees the poor food situation and political instability of the Watership Down warren, he'll decide to remain loyal to the invaders.))
Although he maintains a quiet, submissive attitude, Yona has a keen mind. He's a poor fighter, but a clever talker. He has no desire to be an owsla officer or a runner, but that doesn't mean he's devoid of ambition. His former mate was a well respected and beloved owsla officer, after all. He's a bit of a cold minded schemer and the new mark system suits him well because it means he can use other rabbits to improve his own reputation.

About Unlike his cousin Thistledown, Vervain is a fairly happy go lucky buck and a true social butterfly. He takes his job as a runner seriously, but when he's off-duty he loves nothing more than to hang around with other rabbits and share a couple laughs.
Vervain was born in late summer, just before Thistledown had her first litter. He spent a fair amount of time with his younger cousins and trained to run with Thistledown. He was quite close to Fig growing up, but they grew apart with time and currently don't get along.
Vervain likes to flirt and is largely uninterested in monogamy. Out of a strong desire to be a responsible father for any litter he sires, he only sleeps around with 2-3 does at a time.
