Name: One Wilted Rose
Title: The Canary
Pronouns: She/Her
Body Color/Eye Color/Any potential patterning: Rose once had a delightfully red coat and matches eyes with a cream colored underside. After surviving The Illness, her red coat became a sickly green and her underside darkened, while her whiskers and eyes turned a more dangerous, warning red.
Animalistic Ability: Immunization. Due to The Illness, Rose has developed hyper-aggressive antibodies that makes her more resistant to venom, poison, illness, and spider bites, allowing her to explore otherwise dangerous areas, but at the cost of a heightened metabolism.
Diet: By and large, Rose is omnivorous, preferring a diet of bugs and fruits. However, using her ability to immunize herself causes her metabolism to go into overdrive, and she becomes an obligate carnivore for a while.
What even gave your character their title: Known once as the One Shining Rose, upon falling sick and miraculously surviving, the Elder Slugcats of her pride would damn her with her new name and the cruel title she now shouldered; pushing her to the outskirt to survive on her own in fear that she could sicken them and as an early warning of any new sicknesses approaching, much like a canary set loose in a mineshaft.
What brought your character to go on a potentially deadly quest to end the sickness: Having survived The Illness herself, Rose yearns to find if her survival can ensure future Slugcats will never fall victim like she did, because they might not be so lucky.
What is your character’s greatest fear and why: Rose fears, above all things, failing to find a cure for The Illness, for that which changed her so thoroughly. Finding a cure is the only thing that gives her life meaning, and losing that...
Is there an item your character keeps with them at all times: Rose keeps a little, die-cast thimble that she once found in a board game box. It is good at trapping bugs and scooping water.
How has your character’s life been affected by the illness: In addition to changing her life, Rose has lost her pride, and is an outcast with nothing but her mission.
