Okay. Essence is suddenly quite popular, and I got the idea in my head to have another shot at it. Y'all ready?
Okay, here we go with Dominic. He's a character that I just made up for a new story concept. This probably isn't very well organized, so bear with me.

That's what I have so far for Dominic. What he reminds me most of is probably a Shire stallion: big guy, 'gentle giant' so to speak, but once you get him angry there's no going back. He's about 18, half human half elf.
) Marsha is a moose with really long legs and a tendency to run into things.
Humorously, we also like Paws and Tales, and Marsha was an apt connection.
