The Small Folk

AKA I didn’t want to have too many categories so I put all the short people together. This one is going to be Vincent, Jas, Dwarf, and Krobus. Not including Leo because I’ll put him with the other Ginger Island characters.

   Dwarf

Dwarf is an odd case where I’m actually just changing part of his base design, rather than inflicting some sort of transformation on him. He’s got a star-nosed mole nose now! Also, instead of being trapped behind a rock, he digs around in the mines using a gigantic pair of mechanical claws he built. No more sitting around idly all day, there’s work to be done!

   Jas - Moonlight Jelly

She’d always wanted to see one of the rare green jellies that Marnie talked about. So, when the Dance of the Moonlight Jellies rolled around and her aunt said that she could go out on the pier herself, Jas made a mad dash out to the edge to try and spot one. No one could stop the rocketing little girl from tumbling right off the edge. Willy helped fish her out, and Marnie gave her quite the scolding. Something about the water must have done something to her, though; the little girl’s skin is always giving off a ghostly green light, just barely visible, and her clothes ripple as if they’re underwater, even when there’s no wind.

   Krobus - Buggy

Living in a sewer was a lot nicer than you might think, really. It got a bit lonely, but all things considered it really wasn’t a bad place to be. The only thing that Krobus didn’t like was the tunnels full of strange bugs and tepid water. The bugs didn’t attack them, but they had to beat back the nests to make sure they didn’t infest and clog up the rest of the sewer. They call it the mutant bug lair for a reason, though; you might notice a flicker of translucent wings behind Krobus’s back every once in a while, and when they eat a pair of mandibles poke out of the shadow person’s mouth.

   Vincent - Bug King

As soon as Miss Penny opened up the arcane section of the library, Vincent was trying to sneak into it. Books were usually boring, but dangerous and forbidden books? Now THAT was interesting. He had to get in there. Finally, he managed to slip in when the gargoyle wasn’t watching and immediately dashed along the shelves, watching for a specific set of numbers. He didn’t understand the dewey decimal system, but he did know that 595.7 meant books with pictures of bugs in them. He pulled one or two at random as soon as he found the number on the shelf and started reading. Getting grounded and having extra homework was totally worth it, after that. Not only could he talk to the bugs, they actually listened to him now! The antennae were kinda weird, and the shell was awkward sometimes, but mostly he wasn’t mad. Plus, the bugs would help him clean the mud off his shoes when he got home so that Mom wouldn’t get mad, so it was all worth it.

  Shorter one today! A few of these are some of the oldest ideas for this AU, so it’s fun to share them. Not sure what’s coming next, but stay tuned!

  tl;dr Dwarf has a slight design change to be more like a star-nosed mole, but that’s all. Jas is a magical girl jellyfish. Krobus is buggy (wings and mandibles). Vincent is also buggy, and has control over bugs.
