Creator: SirenCymbaline
Roleplay: Kingdom Hearts: The Storybook
Nickname: Baba
Name: Baba
Keyblade Design:
A gothic looking keyblade that looks like it's made from old, dull iron. The circle part is fringed with daisy petals and sewing needles. Lavender coloured twine is wrapped around the handle from top to bottom.
It's called the Stitcher, and it has the power to repair anything that's damaged. It can be used to fix broken objects, or heal wounds. The only thing it doesn't work on is Baba.
Native World: Halloweentown
Gender: Scarecrow
Age: 14
Appearance:
Baba is a living scarecrow. They are made from coarse, scratchy sackcloth, and have a Jack ‘O Lantern style mouth sewed on to their face in black felt. They have blue buttons for eyes, and a shaggy mop of lavender coloured yarn for hair. The charm they recieved from Levi is sewed onto the end of a single yarn plait.
They wear tatty denim overalls covered in pockets, a filthy blouse, oversized gardening gloves, and a big straw hat with fat daisies all round the brim. Baba claims to have a human skeleton at their centre, underneath the stuffing.
Personality:
Baba can speak, but the sewn features on their face don’t move, so they often use exaggerated gestures to enhance their communication.
Baba is outgoing, perhaps overactive, prefers actively chasing crows over standing in the field.
Baba is a daredevil, because whenever they get hurt, they just pull out the sewing kit and fix themselves. If turned into a human, Baba would find it hard to get used to the idea that getting hurt is a big deal.
Brief History:
When Baba was a young scarecrow, they were shy, and rarely spoke, finding it easiest to hang out with animals, and voodoo dolls. Every Halloween parade, they would run up and down the streets, boisterous and loud, but once it was over, they would go back to hiding from crows in their field.
One day Baba found Levi playing in their field, and hid behind a tree. They sent a few voodoo dolls out to say hello instead. Baba still has clear memories of the dolls tugging at his trouser leg, and falling over his shoulders, while he laughed and rolled in the dying grass. Baba slowly came out, and soon, started playing with him too. It didn’t take very long for Levi to get Baba out of their shell, to find a boisterous and daring kid underneath. He saw them fall out of every tree in the field, and come up laughing every time.
Ever since, nobody has ever been able to get Baba to slow down. And no crows have ever been able to rest.
Talents:
Baba is gifted at sewing, and their hobby is sewing little voodoo dolls, which often come to life, though not sentience. They follow Baba around and generally act oblivious. Baba has to be careful not to put too much love into their work when mending clothes though, or it makes the clothes also come to non-sentient life.
When they stay still, Baba is eerily good at blending into the background. This makes them way too good at hide and seek.
Other:
Baba hates crows, but is very fond of chickens.
Also, being from Halloweentown, morbidity is Baba’s normalcy, so they have no concept of what is and isn’t normal elsewhere, so they’re probably going to creep/weird the other charries out with some of the stuff they say without thinking anything of it.
