Description

Name: Viola Trehender

Age: 27

Species: Red Squirrel

Residence: The Town of Dirt

Occupancy: Nurse/Assistant to Doc


Bio: Living in the desert can be pretty decent, so long as you have the right amount of water and land. Living in a family of four, Viola Trehender had survived out in the barren lands and she was happy as long as she and her family was thriving. The girl didnt talk much, which was more difficult for her to communicate when it comes to guests or family visiting. More often than not, she only spoke when spoken to at the time (Or just mostly to her family). Her mother had passed away from an illness a few years after her little brother was born. Their father was the only one Viola and Alec, her baby brother, had left. 

As the two children grew, their father had gotten more drunk since the loss of their mother. One night, when Viola was fully grown and Alec was a young boy, he had come home after a drink or two and Viola was just putting her brother to bed. After she had done so, she saw her father lingering about, intoxicated and he had made an advance on her without thinking. This brought total disgust to Viola and anger had begun to boil in her blood. She never got angry much, but when she did, her face would turn as red as her tail of fire. So she slapped him and chewed him out, telling him how shitty he was at being a father for her and Alec; How he would never even survive on this ranch without her and her brother. So the next morning, Viola had taken Alec and they both set off away from their farm, leaving their father to live out the rest of his days alone. Provided with only the food and remaining water they had packed, Viola and her brother had traveled for days. Several weeks had gone by and Alec was getting weaker and weaker as the days went by. In their last days of traveling, they had run out of water, and her brother was ill. As for food rations, Viola had given the last of it to her brother. 

They soon arrived at the town of Dirt, Alec had collapsed. She was worried and she picked up Alec, searching around to hope there would be someone who would help him, and to her relief, there was a doctor. He may have not been the brightest doctor, but he did what he could. Viola was then told that she had to wait outside; since she and her brother were new to the town, she might as well give the little town a look-around. As worried as she was for her brother, she thought she may as well look around. Walking around, she sees the bank, the parlor, the mayors office, tailor, and the clock tower. Walking into the bank, she meets a lizard and the owner of bank, Mr. Merrimack. The woman with him was a tan lizard named Beans. To their misfortune, the desert was beginning to go through a drought.

Making their acquaintance, Beans then leaves and Viola was left and decided to set up an account. Seeing that Merrimack was another species like her, she thought he’d be a good person to trust in this town (so far) And decided to ask him about the town. 

Rolling into the afternoon, she had finished conversing with Merrimack and left, stepping her way to the town’s spittoon, her tail catching the eyes of the patrons, male and female; thinking for a second that she was on fire. Making sure not to make sudden eye contact with anyone, she looked around an then leaves, leaving the patrons, drunkards and show girls to go about their business. Next was the Mayor’s office; if she and her brother were going to be staying, she may as well make sure they’d be eligible for residency. Once inside, she waited and waited until it was time to see him. He wasn’t what she was expecting; an old turtle in a wheelchair, but one would assume worse. After explaining to him what she and Alec had been through to get here, that her brother had fallen ill, she hoped that shed be able to make a residence in this town. To her relief, she could stay in town, but there wasn’t that much land for her and Alec to own, and frankly, considering Alec’s condition, he may not have that long to live. Thanking him for his consideration, she leaves the mayor’s office and goes to check out the rest of the town. 

Later on that evening, Viola went back to check on the Doc and Alec. To her shock, the Doc had the boy covered in a blanket, leaving her to assume the worst. He offered his condolences and said that he did all he could to help the boy. But now, she was beginning to believe that her brother was lucky. He left his life before life started to plummet down the sandpit of hell of a drought. So now Viola was left, living on her own in the town of Dirt, no house to call her own but all she had now was herself and the memory of Alec. That night, she had to bury her brother and drown out her sorrows in cactus juice at the spittoon. And to make things worse, one of the lackeys of Bad Bill was head-over-tail drunk and tried to woo her, try to take her home with him, but she knew better and slammed his face in the bar counter, leaving with a huff. She sighed and looked to the clock tower. It was getting late... She didnt have a place to stay for the night, and she walked herself to the tower, climbing up the steps to the near top and sat, looking up at the moon. This new life will be a tough one to live, and it will not be an easy task. But she was snapped out of her consciousness when she heard a voice call to her and she looked down. 

It was Merrimack. 

He soon came up and sat beside her, even though he wasn’t a big fan of heights and sympathized with her. He had heard what had happened with her brother from the Doc. She told him that Alec was in a better place now, even though she didn’t believe life would be better without him. She had no food, no water, no place to live and now, no brother.

For a second I thought she was an OC for Redwall. Reguardless, I love her.
