Having fun with character design~🦄
“Little Bittle” (as Alphabittle was nicknamed as a colt) with his parents, Mighty Spruce and Mallow Mist.
The jovial Spruce works as a baker, and has a rather chill, carefree personality. Out of the two, he’s definitely the more permissive parent. Since he was born in the mountains surrounding Bridlewood, he has a natural fondness for winter and snow. (They went sledding together every winter when Alpha was a kid.)
While Misty collects herbs, plants and mushrooms to make all sort of herbal products i.e. homemade herbal cosmetics, essential oils, phytomedicine, etc. Even though she’s quite down-to-earth, deep down she’s still got some playfulness within her. Also, despite her soft appearance and motherly nature, she tends to be fairly outspoken.
By the way, these two met when Spruce once burned his elbow rather badly during work and then he was told about Mallow Mist and her “natural pharmacy”. He visited her in her cottage and she gave him some homemade calendula cream for his burns which worked wonders for him. Later on Mighty Spruce wanted to repay her kindness (not to mention she made quite an impression on him and vice versa) by inviting her to dinner and well, the rest is history… ;)
