Rascal Redtail

The protagonist of our adventure. A curious traveler from a faraway land who arrives in the Forest of Love. He's here for the "love" part!

He's more than happy to help the residents with any tasks, and is especially interested in sleeping around (which doesn't carry a negative connotation in the Forest of Love).Though he's a red panda, Rascal points out that this red panda has things that most don't, like a knot, and a lack of swimming skills. I'm sure the knot will be a major plot point later. The knot lore goes deep. Just like the knot does.


Scarlett Tenderpaw

Mother, farmer, and the town gossip!
She’s a lovely bundle of joy~! Very friendly, very compassionate. Not only has she raised several litters, she’s also seen as the mother figure of the town. Many critters seek her council for wisdom, or just a shoulder to cry on. Thus, she’s always in the know of what’s going on! She’s got a thirst for drama and all the juicy details, so she tends to be a bit of a gossip.
The bunny and her husband settled down in the forest decades ago when things were a bit more wild. Over the years, they’ve had many promiscuous adventures with many of the critters in town!



Barnaby "Bucky" Webbz

Sculptor, woodworker, general handy-man.The beaver is one of the earlier inhabitants of the forest. He has helped build some of the structures and a majority of the furnishing in the neighbors houses.He’s an old geezer now, but as chipper and cheery as ever! Always wearing a warm smile, and happy to talk to anyone who passes by.


Maverick P. Clamshucker

Young entrepreneur and go-getter!He took over the family business and runs the local shop. Works hard, but plays harder!If he’s not counting money, securing wares for the town, or considering a new prospect — you can find this guy “chilling” with his posse of otters.


Mabel

The forest is home to critters of all sizes~She may be small, but this young mouse is quite the lady. Without revealing too much, we’ll just say, “big things come in small packages.” In more ways than one…



Additional info: though Augustus won't openly admit it, he clearly enjoys paws on his face or in his mouth, as well as using his large tongue on others while they're partway inside his mouth.







Charlotte

The forest is home to critters of all sizes!



Lanora

A ferret who lived in the distant past.
She was the Forest of Love's "Forest Maiden," leading ritualistic group sex events, often with males.
Augustus knows the most about her.


The plant

Rooted in the dark forest.
Pansexual
Usually tops, but bottoms in special circumstances.


The Fish

A random, yet polite, fish.
Found accidentally in the western lake.
