Flame bunnies are Shy, quiet creatures. You can find them around grassy fields, in the forest and in the woods. Their diet consists of fruit, and veggies but mainly berries. They're about the size of a house cat, babies are about the size of a small rat when they are born. The flames on their neck, feet and tail are used to scare away their predators, but also to attract mates.

Bastet is the name of the Egyptian Godess of protection.
Commonly called Bast, this young rabbit has inherited from her namesake, the will
and desire to protect those she sees as weaker than herself. She is assertive
and can be a little overly aggressive for her species which surprises some.
The multi-coloured flames the possesses give her an intense feeling of pride and
confidence. For this reason she may come across as a bit arrogant but she really
is a caring bunny. However insult her and her pride will force her to punish you in some
way. She isn't one to let go of grudges easily.
Despite this her protective instinct will usually win out in the end though she
will adamantly insist that it was for her own personal gain.

Bastet flicked her gorgeous ears in slight irritation as she nibbled on the grass
stalks that poked up from behind a large boulder. The source of her annoyance
as ever was caused by the particularly large male Flame Bunny sitting nearby and
glancing at her slyly.
This caused her vibrant mane of flames to flare up as she shot him a look of disgust
which he conveniently ignored. She gave him a death stare. Yes she was unique
the symbol on her rump meant life, yes her mother had told her. But that didn't mean
this moron could just follow her around whenever he pleased.
"Hey you!" She demanded of him, the fact he looked up at her innocently only
proved to irritate her more.
"Yeah you! Who are you and would you quit following me?" She growled at him, puffing
up her flames impressively to try to intimidate him.
"What? Little old me?" He asked her slyly and she flicked her ears in response.
"Yeah you moron, don't just stare at me." She couldn't help but show off a little,
"Stare at you? Why on earth would I stare at you?" He asked her bewildered.
Bast gave a small cry of outrage,
"How dare you.... you... you..." She cried indignantly, unable to get the words out,
"Chill, Chill, I was only kidding. The names Tex." The male replied calmly, reaching up
with a back paw to scratch behind his ears.
Bast turned and with a powerful back paw sent a large rock hurling toward him with precise
aim. It hit Tex in the cheek and the surprised bunny toppled over.
Bast laughed a little cruelly and shot off into the undergrowth, her flames scattering
the shadows. After a little way she stopped on a rock and paused to revel in the
euphoria, preening her coat a little as she did so. The image of Tex's face
being hit with that rock was enough to send her into fits of laughter.
That was until she was forced to pause, straightening up her ears swiveled quickly
to pick up the sound of growling. Wild dogs. She had been too taken in the
moment earlier to notice but now they were as clear as day and by the
sounds of it they were exactly where she had been only moments ago.
She turned to bound in the opposite direction of the growls before a thought
stopped her. Tex was still there. Intentions and feelings battled within her.
He had dared insult her, it was unforgivable, an atrocity. But what if the dogs
had caught him. She couldn't let that happen.
With an overly frustrated sigh she began to race back the way she had come.
Leaping out of the trees she saw three wild dogs all standing around
the form of Tex. The fire bunny's flames were swirling but it was clear
he was dazed and couldn't get away. With a twinge of guilt Bast remembered
the way she had struck him with the stone.
She allowed anger and protectiveness to course through her veins and her
fire responded billowing around her and making her a fearsome creature
indeed. Letting out a wild battle cry she began to charge toward the surprised dogs.
She clamped her strong teeth into the shoulder of one dog and her flames burned
another. Each of them yelped in pain and surprise.
The dog she had in her mouth twisted and snapped at her causing her to be flung off
she didn't break stride and leaped up into the air with another terrifying cry.
That was enough for the dogs, it wasn't worth such effort and they retreated
with a mixture of yelping and growling.
Turning, Bastet shook herself off and began to smooth her fur, ignoring
the Flame Bunny behind her,
"You saved me." She heard Tex say smugly behind her though still a little
dazed. Bastet shot him an arrogant glare,
"I didn't do it for you. I just didn't want them to ruin this grass."
"What?"
"It's my Favorite."
