Bird's Eye View // mato.pe link
She falls in a sudden reversal of gravity: the ground retreating from her feet as her head spins and whirls, as she struggles to cope with the fact that up is now down. She tumbles into the sky, but her focus is toward the earth, the swamp she calls home, as it dwindles from an all-encompassing sea of greenery around her to a forest of mangrove trees and marshy grass, as that shrinks and she is at last able to see the sharp lines, the jagged formations that the water leaves in its wake, the cuts rivers and streams make through Matope. There is a glimpse of more, of green plains in the distance, of the endless expanse of the ocean in one direction, before her tumble twists and she is instead falling into the sun.
__________________________________________________________
Personality
Acerbic, sometimes mean just for the sake of being mean, Bird's Eye View thinks very highly of herself and sharpens when people try to tear her down.

Coppermouth // mato.pe link
It lashes and sways, it bobs and weaves, a sinuous creature with a narrowed head. She watches it through narrowed eyes, the tip of her own tongue hissing out between her teeth as it mirrors her movements.
It stills, when she stills.
It moves, when she moves.
And finally, unable to take the waiting any longer, she springs — the long points of her fangs sinking through scales and flesh to dig deep, blood filling her senses, thick and heavy.
At the same moment, pain shoots through her like a shock up her spine. As she lets go, poison seeping into her system, she realizes it's her own tail.
__________________________________________________________
Personality
Coppermouth is bitter, somewhat bitchy, likely to sabotage her own luck and relationships just because she's not sure how to be happy. Something is always wrong. Something is always off-kilter. And when it goes wrong, it's her fault and she knows it.

Deathcap // mato.pe link
No illness in life will ever compare to what she feels in her dream: her insides twisting, curled up in the reeds, sweaty and tense, groaning under her breath. Here, no one will find her: no one will ask if she is well, no one will bring soothing herbs to settle her stomach. It leaves her shaky and weak, wasting away until she can't go on any longer. She dies thinking about how sweet that mushroom had tasted.
__________________________________________________________
Personality
Deathcap in gleeful, mocking, with a great sense of humor, even if it's usually at your expense. She's morbid, but that doesn't mean she's depressed, sad, or low-energy. It just means she has a bit of a fascination with death and the weird.

Black Tongue // mato.pe link
A food connoisseur, as a young totoma he sampled anything and everything, with very little thought to the possibility that it might cause him harm. He was lucky to have something of an iron constitution. Berries that made the other youngsters ill, left them rolling and moaning or losing their lunch in the bushes, just gave him a bit of a grumbly stomach.
These berries, in particular, were the strangling sort. They drove the breath from birds so quickly that they fell from the sky and died. They blackened the tongue -- and, indeed, they blackened his, as well.
But they certainly didn't kill him.
__________________________________________________________
Personality
Black Tongue is serious, quiet, with easily wounded pride. He likes to eat; really likes to eat. Everything. Even things that might be poisonous. He is adventurous about it.

Light Touch // mato.pe link
Sleeping, distracted, unfocused, he feels it low on his spine. The tiniest scuffles of feet, the lightest waft of air. It makes him stir, turn his head, and he watches as the butterfly lights on his fur, lingers for just a moment, and then disappears back upward.
__________________________________________________________
Personality
Light Touch is gentle and lazy, fond of lying about, especially with the sun on his back. He is a bit dopey, slow-witted, and nice -- the kind of nice where kin can't think of much else to say about him. He's nice. Yeah.

Lashtongue // mato.pe link
Always sharp and sarcastic, witty at the expense of others, kin had all kinds of names for her — but none of them stuck until the day of the great dispute. Three bucks, brothers, had come near to blows over an argument so convoluted none of them could even remember the cause. She'd stepped in, unprompted, and proceeded to insult each in turn: neatly, creatively, and cruelly.
It had the desired effect. All three of them turned the brunt of their anger on her, instead of on each other, and the name Lashtongue [the mildest of their replies to her] stuck.
__________________________________________________________
Personality
Lashtongue is a total b***h, who frequently rips people a new one just because she can. She is strong and self-sufficient, and likely prone to a bit of physical fighting, in addition to the verbal. She is very butch.
