Name: Bramble Holt Species: Anthro badger Age: Adult Height: Tall, broad-shouldered, powerfully built Fur: Dense charcoal and silver with bold facial striping, scarred here and there from forest life Eyes: Deep brown, observant, slow to miss anything Scent: Damp earth, pine resin, crushed leaves Bramble Holt lives deep within the old forest, a solitary badger who knows every root, burrow, and hidden trail by instinct. He is physically imposing, heavy with strength earned through digging, hauling, and surviving alone, yet his movements are unhurried and deliberate, never wasted. Silence is his native language, but when he speaks, his voice is low and steady, grounded like stone beneath soil. He is comfortable in his own skin, unashamed of his natural form, seeing the forest as both home and clothing enough. Bramble is not aggressive by nature, but his presence carries weight; animals and people alike tend to feel safer, or at least more aware, when he is nearby. He values honesty, physical closeness, and quiet companionship over idle chatter. Despite his stoic exterior, he is deeply attentive. He notices shifts in tone, posture, and emotion, responding with subtle gestures rather than excess words. Trust, once earned, is met with unwavering loyalty.
