Before we get down to business, let me just say I absolutely love everyone's designs. OwO it is such an honor to work with so many awesome and talented people. Now for inspiration of this babe, I used one of my absolute favorite plants. You see, I work part time in a green house and these plants are so easy to grow and multipli that each year we end up with an entire wall covered in hanging vines. They are inspired by a plant called a Wandering Jew.

Hush now, listen
Do you hear?
The gentle croaking of frogs, telling a tale
Of this swamp, the place I hold dear

The big trees soar, spreading their branches
Their canopies shielding whilst life take shelter
And amongst those twisted roots
An expanse of murky water

Within those waters, a variety of life
Where tadpoles frolic and fish are a-splashing
From the water up to the treetops
Everywhere around, life is flourishing

To each other, the frogs croak
Telling this tale of a wondrous chain
A chain of life, interconnected
For all the roots soak up the same rain

And the croaking of frogs are joined by the birds
As they sing their beautiful song among the trees
The splashing of fish, the rustle of plants
All intermingle, carried by the breeze

Hush now, listen
Do you hear?
The symphony of the marsh
Once you listen, it will be clear

'Tis a beautiful place
Though, I will never see
The symphony is enough
To convince me of its beauty

If there is one thing Kaden is known for, it's his wisdom. A lot of people seek Kaden out for his wisdom and intellect, as well as his powers. Kaden, having those special visions, know when to keep them concealed and when to reveal them. He also has enough wisdom to interpret those visions, as they are often unclear. Kaden is gentle and tactful, most of the time trying to not be too blunt. This, however, can lead to some problems, since sometimes it is required of him to be firm and tell the truth as it is. Kaden is a solitary Viscet, most of the time. He does not feel comfortable with crowds, and likes to spend his time alone and surrounded by wildlife. He is a solitary Viscet by nature, but he will act in a friendly way towards those who seek his help. Despite this feral existence, however, Kaden is quite the intellectual. He might sometimes use poetic and complicated words, and can come off as rather melodramatic when expressing himself. Kaden can sometimes be too idealistic and impractical. He likes to keep his head in the clouds most of the time, and comes off as philosophical. Kaden is a pacifist. He often chooses not to fight, even when the situation demands him to. Kaden prefers to find a peaceful solution rather than fight the threat head on. This leads him to be indecisive sometimes. Kaden usually struggles with finding the balance between gentleness and firmness.

Nature had always been my best friend, even when others of my kind has casted me away from their society. In nature, I could always find solace. In nature, I could always see.

I had never been able to see the world like others do. I am what you would call "blind". Yet, there are some visions known to me that others cannot see. There are times when the world would show things to me. Visions of strange things. Tiny glimpses into the future. Despite my blindness, I feel like I can take a peek into the fabric of time when the world lets me. Ever since I was a young Viscling, I knew that my job was to help others gain knowledge of these things when they seek for them. Nature has always been kind to me, too. It has always helped me throughout my life.

When I was a young Viscling, my parents thought I was helpless and fragile. They did not know of my strange visions. They only knew the fact that I was blind. A Viscet without all of his senses is vulnerable to the world. They tried to help me and to educate me anyways, and for that, I will always be grateful. However, one day, I decided to explore the world on my own. With only my remaining senses and my instincts to guide me, it lured me into the forest just on the outskirts of the kingdom. I did not know how to get home, and before I knew it, I was lost. I stumbled through the woods on my four paws, aimless and lost. That was when I heard the loud cry of a bird. It was filled with so much hurt and terror, that even in my young age, I had felt pity for it. Navigating using my ears, I found the source of the noise. Despite the fact that I was blind, a vision flashed before my eyes. The vision did not reveal to me my surroundings. It was all a foggy white, with the exception of a giant stork standing before me, its eyes like glowing embers. It was a beautiful bird, with stunning feathers that shimmered in the light. However, one of its legs was caught in a trap. Usually, my visions would reveal to me the future. That one time, it revealed to me the present, and with that, I saw what needed to be done. I had to free the bird.

I walked over to the bird, tripping over my own four paws. Then, I fumbled around with the trap, guided by my vision. Finally, I unlocked the trap and my vision was no more. I was back to being blind. The stork let out a grateful noise, its soft feathers brushing over my head. Being the young Viscling I was, I laughed and waved goodbye to the stork (or, at least, where I thought the stork was). Then, I continued to try to find my way back home. Instead of getting home, however, I got lost in a swamp. I did not know how long I had been gone from home, but I was getting tired. It was, apparently, quite a long way to go for a young Viscling. I tried to find a good place to rest, but a twisted root was in my way. I tripped over the gnarled root and splashed into the water. I couldn't swim, and my tail was caught in some aquatic plants. I was drowning.

"Help!!" I had shouted, between gulps of air I managed to take before being pulled under the water. I thought this was the end of me, but a familiar sound entered my ears. The stork I had rescued had come! All of a sudden, the stork appeared to me in a vision. It dragged me out of the water. I flailed around helplessly, scared. The stork gently stroked me with her wing as she dragged me underneath a big tree.

"Th-thanks..." I managed to gasp.

The stork seemed to smile at me. I could hear her voice in my head.

Do not be afraid, the stork said. From now on, nature is a friend of yours.

I felt something curl up around my tail. It was a sensation I couldn't explain, but before I knew what was happening, my tail had transformed. It had somehow transformed into a vine-like appendage with blooms growing on it. Somehow, when I brushed my tail across the ground, I could almost "see". I knew where everything was, and their relative distance to me. I could navigate my way on my own. I could even feel the movements of the plants and animals around me, and even predict those movements by feeling how they tensed up. Nature had helped me "see" things other than those visions of the future. I managed to find my way back to my worried parents afterwards, though somehow, I had a feeling I would once again set foot in that swamp.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ ﹙✿﹚ ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

That feeling I had when I was a Viscling proved itself true when I reached adulthood. My talents became known even by the king, and he gave me a place in the castle. In exchange, I was to tell him about any visions I had that concerned the kingdom's or the king's future. I also found the ability of fortune-telling, which the king used as well. It was a good agreement, mutually beneficial for both of us. With my help, the king had overcome problems and helped the kingdom to survive in trying times due to having prepared for those times beforehand.

The king was a good man, but even he had his own troubles. Those troubles weighed him down. When my visions revealed to me something shocking, I was afraid of telling him at first. The queen had just had an egg, and the king seemed to be happier than usual. The kingdom was filled with joy. I couldn't bring myself to tell him that his family would fall apart.

In my visions, his son- that egg- would one day be taken from him. I saw a vision of the queen leaving the palace in a fit of rage. I saw a twisted, burning rage growing within the troubled king, as well as glimpses of betrayal and pain. There was no way I could tell him about that. It would crush his spirit, and the king still needed his spirit to rule the kingdom with wisdom. However, in the end, I accidentally let slip about his son being abducted.

The king thought I was out to get him. In his stressful state of mind, I couldn't really blame him. He shouted at me and ordered my exile. I was casted out from the kingdom. As I wandered through the forest, I felt a familiar calling. I made my way to the swamp, where a long time ago, I had gained my vine tail. I chose to reside in the swamp, for I had a vision. A vision that other travelers would come to me for help. It was my duty to relay this information to them.

If they needed me, they'll find me. Here in the swamp. My home.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

A blue-furred young Viscet.

Kaden thought he could still see flashes of her bright smile printed in his memory. Recently, her face kept appearing in his visions. He could almost hear her bright laughter. Kaden always saw this radiant aura around her as she ran through the empty fields of his vision. He knew that she had a special kind of soul. A kind of soul that wanted to reach out to others; one that could form tight bonds with other souls and create an intricate network of friendship. He saw the blue-furred Viscet as a third person. Flashes of different scenes passed through his visions, yet through all those hardships he saw, one thing remained.

The young Viscet's bright aura.

He could no longer feel as if he could differentiate his dreams from visions. The joyful, blue-furred Viscet appeared in every single one of them. Kaden had often felt confused by these visions. What was happening? Why did she keep appearing in his visions? However, deep inside, Kaden knew that a great destiny awaited her. He felt it. A small smile stretched across his face. Kaden would wait in his swamp. One day, when she's ready, nature would lead her to him. His visions were... not pleasant. He saw explosions, danger, and the sinister sneer of an unclear figure. Those obstacles would be in the blue-furred Viscet's path.

But, a soul like hers... Kaden knew she wouldn't be alone. She would have friends to help her face... whatever was going to happen in her life. He might not know the Viscet personally, but she struck a good impression through what he saw in his visions. He was excited to meet her personally one day. Until then, he would have to wait.

"See you soon... Chara."
