How do they cope with sadness?; Whenever she is feeling sad or upset, Bramble likes to take a long hike to her favourite river and sit by a nearby tree cluster, watching the water flow. Usually she'll dip her paws into the shallow ends and bring up eye-catching rocks or pebbles from the bottom. Sometimes she feels content just watching the river run naturally, and others she finds relaxation in creating small dams and pools. Whatever she does, just a look at the glimmer of the water can make her feel at ease.
1 Extra; (500 word limit or 1 art piece) Bramble was never much of the outdoorsy type, and was never very fond of being out in nature for the fun of it. There was one day when walking back from a friend's home, she heard a strange noise nearby that scared her to the point of running from the spot where she stood. Unfortunately, Bramble found herself in a dense patch of forest, not sure where she was. Knowing that if she just kept walking in a straight line she'd find a way out, Bramble decided to just go ahead and wait to find a break in the foliage. When she ended up walking for longer than expected, she began to panic thinking about how long it would take to find her way back out. She tried to find anything that looked familiar or some sort of hint that might show a way out such as a hiking trail or fence, although nothing gave her hope in finding a way back to the path. All that she could see was tall pines and fall-bare branches clustering the view both around and above her. Not long after, she stumbled upon the river, a welcome change in scenery from the nearly identical trees surrounding her. Bramble spent hours laying in the grass and leaf piles just listening to the sound of the water running over the rocks, letting it calm her down. Soon, she stood back up and headed back through the forest, now relaxed and feeling braver than before. It wasn't long until she found the way out and, although it was dark, made her way home without problem. After taking a few tries to find it again, she finally memorized the way to get back to her spot by heart and hasn't forgotten it once.
