#Mouse Mother

[stories-me]

Potential Character for Mrs. Kelsey and Tumblr 9/24/2024:

Louise Thrushwood, Mouse Mom and Unlikely Heroine:

(Note on appearance: she has grey or tan fur and the cloak on her is a dark green).

What she’s from: “Mouse Quest: Louise and the House of Secrets” (which I semi-made up).

Background:

Louise has lived in the Harper House for a long time, finding hidden places to nest and gather food for her growing family. She built a small but comfortable home in the walls of the house, away from the humans’ prying eyes. Life was tough, but manageable — until her husband Jacob mysteriously disappeared, leaving her to fend for the family on her own.

Shortly after Jacob’s disappearance, Morgan (Louise’s eldest daughter) and her large brood arrived, displaced by a lawnmower accident that destroyed their home. This added more mouths to feed and heightened Louise’s urgency to gather enough food before winter. Now, with Jacob missing and the pressure mounting, Louise takes it upon herself to navigate the dangers of the house and gather the resources necessary for survival.

Personality:

Caring and Nurturing: Louise’s main drive is to provide for her family. She is a deeply caring mother and grandmother, always thinking of their well-being. She’s willing to brave the dangers of the Harper house in order to ensure her children and grandchildren don’t go hungry during the upcoming winter.

Clever and Resourceful: Louise isn’t a natural fighter, but she’s highly intelligent and quick to figure out solutions to complex problems. She’s good at thinking on her feet and can make use of everyday objects in inventive ways to overcome obstacles. Whether it’s using a spoon as a bridge or hiding inside a teapot, Louise makes the most out of her small size and surroundings.

Courageous and Determined: Despite her small stature and the dangerous world around her, Louise is incredibly brave. She faces threats like Ambrosia the cat, household traps, and the looming presence of humans, but her fear never stops her. Her love for her family keeps her motivated even in the face of seemingly insurmountable challenges.

Patient and Wise: Louise has seen enough of life to know that patience and observation often win the day. She doesn’t rush into things but instead carefully assesses situations before acting. Her wisdom comes through in how she navigates her environment, always considering the long-term consequences of her decisions.

A Bit Overwhelmed: With so many mouths to feed and constant problems to solve, Louise can occasionally feel overwhelmed by the pressure. She’s only one mouse, after all, and with Morgan and her dozen grandchildren suddenly moving in, things have become even more complicated. Despite this, Louise never gives up and always finds a way to press forward.

How she is like me:

We both are sometimes a bit overwhelmed over certain things (like my room, and, recently, a video I saw online), and we are caring (like caring for others, like Emily, whose relationship with I am trying to repair), and wise and clever.

How she is NOT like me:

I can frequently be challenged with my patience (though, I guess, she finds it challenging to be patient, as well, from time to time).

Kelsey Notes:

When we are in overwhelming situations it is ok to ask for help or clarification

          -if you don’t know where to start cleaning your room, ask for help to get started

          -When it comes political ads or stories it is important to recognize your comfort level with it and find something else to read/watch if you find yourself getting overwhelmed or worked up about what is being said

When we recognize how our behavior has impaired our relationships, we learn to take more steps to control our behavior and not make the same mistakes that have caused rifts with family members

          This can be difficult because it takes self-control, patience, and maturity

It takes practice and patience to be able to stop ourselves in a moment of frustration in an effort to react to a situation more appropriately than we’re used to

As we become adults, we realize that we can solve some problems, some problems take time to solve, and there are some problems that are out of our control (even out of our support systems control)

Many people who are more patient have tended to accept when things happen that  are outside of their control

✨Merry Christmas and happy holidays ✨

Initially meant to draw art of the actual nutcraker tale but I blinked and this happened. Anyway, I'm not good with words but I wish nice winter holidays to you all and a nice day/evening✨ Bonus Idia as the crazy uncle Drosselmeyer scribble under the cut

Unconditional love.

Seeing how 'Wish' is supposed to be a celebration of a century of Disney that's chock full of homages and nods to their past films, no matter what happens in the film, there's really only one suitable end for King Magnifico:
