Description
These guys are some more characters for my Watership Down comic I plan on doing you could say they are partly OCs as they are based on background characters from the show. We see these guys very briefly in the episode "the eyes of Silverweed" ( www.highlonelyhills.com/images…) they are the students of the speaker of the past (here's a picture of the speaker if you need to refresh you memory www.animationsource.org/sites_…) the speaker teaches them the history of Darkhaven and probably lots of other things too. I thought that these characters potential was wasted in the TV series, they are not bound by Darkhaven's laws of battle and I thought that would make them very interesting because they may not be bloodthirsty monsters like the rest of Darkhaven. Of course I altered their designs as they didn't have the best designs because they were just background characters so not much effort was put into them they even change colour and positions at one point when the camera angle changes which proves my point even more so I tried to make them look more unique and interesting. I decided not to do a background for this one because when I tried to do one it looked terrible and its just a ref sheet sort of thing so it doesn't need it anyway and it doesn't need the shading too its not just cause I was lazy and couldn't be bothered noooo

But anyway time for the personalities bit:

Name: Dunite
Gender: Male
Parents: father: Shale (that's this guy: watershipdown.wikia.com/wiki/S… , Mother: unknown
Siblings: Layia (sister)
Other rabbits he's related to: the speaker of the past is his grandmother

Personality: Dunite pretends to be tough and unfeeling but really is a big softy inside only his sister and the rest of the students see the soft side of him. He cares about his sister very much and would protect her to the death (not that she needs much help nowadays but still). He wishes he could have a family which actually cared about him and loved him although he would never let another rabbit know he thought that. He is feared by the other rabbits of Darkhaven that are about his age, even though he does not fight everyone knows what he is capable of and go to great lengths to avoid him. Dunite and his sister Layia are inseparable and have always got each others backs and never go anywhere without the other.

Background: Like all of the Darkhaven rabbits he never had his mother or father looking after him no one can even remember who there parents were and most don't care, their mothers take care of them for the shortest possible amount of time then abandon them as they want to get back to fighting as soon as possible and don't care about their kids the only reason Dunite knew that Shale was his father was because the speaker told him but she can't remember who his mother is. Most Darkhaven rabbits follow the example of their parents soon after being abandoned and steer clear of any family members as they don't want to have to look after any of them if they get sick and they believe that family is just a distraction from fighting but not Dunite he felt sorry for Layia who was bullied by the rest of his siblings because she was the runt of the litter, being the strongest of the litter he fought the rest of his siblings off with ease and him and Layia have been inseparable ever since. He joined the speakers classes because he wanted to learn about things and not just fight all the time and he thought it might be the closest thing he could find to having a family and you could say the students are all an odd little family.

Name: Layia
Gender: Female
Parents: father: Shale, mother: unknown
Siblings: Dunite (brother)
Other rabbits she's related to: the speaker of the past is her grandmother

Personality: Layia is very clever and cunning and she may be the runt of the litter but be careful if you say she's weak she'll kick your fluffy bunny ass. She may have started out as the runt of the litter but is an excellent fighter now and people always underestimate her which makes it that much easier for her to defeat them. She cares very much for her brother Dunite and is still grateful that he saved her from the bullies when she was younger although she would never let him know that she spends most of her time trying to annoy him but in a friendly sibling kind of way their is no malice behind it. She never cared as much about being abandoned by her family as Dunite did probably because she still has a grudge against them for bullying her and she believes that Dunite, the speaker and the rest of the students are all the family she needs.

Background (most her background was covered in Dunites background but oh well): She was the runt of this litter and so was bullied by her siblings in the short amount of time that they were all together but Dunite saved her and they have been inseparable ever since. As she got older she got stronger and can now even overpower some the siblings that used to bully her. She decided to join the speakers class because Dunite was going to and she didn't want to leave him an also even though the idea of fighting for your rank and beating a load of smug rabbits who thought they could beat her sounded tempting she realised that violence was not the answer.

Name: Jacinth
Gender: Female
Parents/ family: unknown

Personality: Jacinth's has very strong opinions on what is right and wrong and wants to change Darkhaven for the better she hates living there and the only reason she stays is because of the rest of the students who have become like family to her and because she wants to change Darkhaven for the better. She is not much of a talker but is always happy to chat with the rest of the students but tends to stay away from the rest of Darkhaven.

Background: Jacinth used to be a normal member of Darkhaven she had just started fighting like the rest of them for about a week and enjoyed it but then she watched a fight where two brothers fought to the death the winner shrieked in victory and ripped the head off the other then threw it around and into the crowd where everyone else started to throw it around too this disgusted and horrified her more than anything else she had ever witnessed she just couldn't believe that two rabbits who were brothers (or rabbits who were not related for that matter too) could do such a thing she hadn't realised that the other Darkhaven rabbits were that blood thirsty and she had thought all of the fighting was done for fun and as training it was at this moment that she realised that what the Darkhaven rabbits were doing was wrong and decided to become a student of the speaker and to learn about how Darkhaven got like this and if there was anything she could do to stop it.

Name: Flint
Gender: Male
Parent/family: unknown

Personality: Flint is the youngest of the group and also the most stubborn and he lacks common sense a lot of the time which can get him into trouble but the rest of the students are always there to help him out. He can be very sweet sometimes and offers the other students help or assistance not that that happens much because he is usually the one in trouble but still. He is very determined and once he has started something he will not stop till he has succeeded unless the other students spend a lot of time talking him out of something which they know he will probably never succeed. He shares a very close bond with the students and he considers them his real family. He has a crush on Jacinth whether or not he will ask her out is another thing and you'll just have to wait and see

Backstory: Flint was the only survivor in his litter the rest of them died from a nasty disease. He can't remember who his parents were but remembers that they were both some of the best fighters in Darkhaven and were disgusted by his puny appearance and lack of strength and abandoned him even earlier than most parents do. He was lucky to be found by Dunite, Layia and Jacinth who were still very young and had recently just joined the speakers classes they taught him how to survive and looked out for him so he has a very strong bond with all of them.

that took me soo long to write so I hope you like them
