gender: female
memory:

I’m running – away, from something? No, maybe it’s towards something – but what I can’t remember? Is it good or bad? I’m lost, why am I lost? Where am I, please let me out – the woods around me are too encompassing and I can’t see a thing. It’s dark, darker than the night sky for I can’t see the stars from here. The shadows whisper my nightmares and I’m scared. Why did this happen, why am I here?

I awaken with a start, and my heart beats once again. Where are these woods, this forest that traps me in my dreams? I’ve never seen this before, how does it exist? Is it only in my mind, or was it real once – long ago? I don’t know, for when I blink three times, the visions of the forest are gone and I’m in my home – lightened by warm flowers and the glowing of fireflies. But I know, once I fall asleep, I’ll be small and lost once again. It’s always like that.

gender: nb (it/they)
memory:

worm's weirdest childhood memory is also, in its opinion, its best childhood memory. worm used to sit in the garden and pluck little bugs out of the dirt and eat them. sure, they tasted disgusting, but that didn't stop worm.

user: Lex.
name: harmony
gender: NB (they/she)
memory:
When she was younger, she lived with a fox. Though it seems suspect that a fox would just take in a baby poglett, this fox isn't just any fox. She was a mother fox. She had just had her babies, and was going out to look for some food to eat, to regain her strength. While she was out looking for food, she heard very faint breathing and crying. She figured it was a small rodent, because it was quite a squeaky creature. She parted a bush to see a little pink poglett!
In harmony's perspective, a huge creature with a bushy tail was looming over her.

[Fleepity]

user: Fleepity
name: Dragonfruit
gender: Male
memory: Dragonfruit has a vague memory of when he tried to fly. He had heard that birds existed, so maybe if he tried hard enough, he could have wings too! He found the highest rock he could find - although now he could easily hop onto it, he's grown at least a little bit - and jumped off. Obviously he just plummeted towards the ground. Luckily he didn't get too hurt. Just a hurt nose. And ego. He got made fun of for weeks after that incident.
