Description
Castor is a small flightless creature that paddles on a leaf with a twig to get around. His diet consists of pond scum and aquatic larvae. He's rather quiet and has no friends.Backstory: Castor is the son of an elf (and maybe a sparrow. Either that or the wings on his back were removed from another sparrow. You choose). In his youth there was a strong storm while he was playing outside and he was flung far from his home, landing safely in a human turd. Lost in the gutters of suburbia, he now wanders the waterways of the world in an attempt to return to his tree.
Anyhow, originally the background was going to be all white with some clouds in it, and the clouds would be filled in with galaxy (nebulae, stars, etc). But things didn't work out, and in the end I decided on a dragonfly and orange sky instead. Makes a little more sense than abstract space clouds, at least. Well, Castor was fun to design and color, so that's good.

I did not expect the elf link to lead me to the Keebler elves. I nearly choked on the cracker I was eating.

Wow. Lands safely on a human turd. Who would have thought something we would so religiously avoid be used as a safety device!..
REMEMBER KIDS! DO NOT STEP ON TURDS! A rescued fey creature could be rescued on it!.

No wonder why he isn't loved at all by society's cruelties; he is the son of one of those damn cookie-making elves. He must kill his father in order to be a member of society once again.

Because he is flightless.

Teehee.
Make a tiny character! Then you will have even MORE original characters you can call your own! And you can stick a windup key on his/her back/head.

i hope he will one day return home.
the orange background helps the Castor's profile.
it soothes the story, and balances it out quite well.
I will wish him friends.
you should give him friends. a pet at least.
