User blog:ScottyBlue/Artist Info (Character visual descriptions)

Welcome
Below is a list of characters from my fanfic Gingiverian: A Tale of Redwall. These are their Physical descriptions, for the sake of those who wish to draw them. These descriptions are not all given in the story; this is just how I see the characters. Several characters change clothes a few times during the story; these are the descriptions of the outfits they wear most often. UNLESS OTHERWISE NOTED, NONE OF THE CHARACTERS HAVE EXTRA HAIR ON THEIR HEADS!

I will update this as I add more characters to the story.

 * Kavvin and Ruddtipp Pinspikes - (Hedgehogs) Identical and inseperable young-adult twin hedgehogs, both a bit fat, with black-brown spikes and very short, wispy beards. Both wear slightly roughed-up brown, cowled habits belted with garden twine, as well as long slingshots tied about the waist.

Both carry concealed, small knives like their elder sister Dahleeah; they wield bows and arrows when on sentry duty. There are no visible differences between the two; however, Buttrycup is of a rather dominant personality, while Jazppur is rather meek and quiet.


 * Veera, Frinjjy, and Jonjon Pinspikes (Hedgehogs) - a set of pre-teen-seasons triplets, all with dark spines; the first two are sisters and the last is a brother. All three wear dingy white habits belted with frayed ropes, but no cowls or accesories. They tend to have stuff stuck in their headspikes like their mother. The primary way Jonjon can be distinguished from his sisters is by his eyes; they are black, whereas his sisters' eyes are blue; he also tends to have more leaves and grass than flowers stuck on his head.
