Mouse

Personality:

Mice are extreme homebodies. They love to eat, collect, share stories, and raise families. They are hospitable to guests and have no problems helping those who are going through a rough patch. They always seem to have "just the thing tucked away for just such an occasion". Mice are happiest in their homes with their hordes of things that might one day be useful.

Physical Description:

Mice are delicately sized. Rarely growing to be more than four or five inches tall and weighing less than an ounce. They can come in just about any natural color, though the most common are grey and brown. They have long whiskers, and their tails are usually 3/4 to the same length as their bodies. Mice have no problem standing erect or even walking that way for short distances, but it hinders their balance, so they prefer to walk quadruped.

Relations:

Mice have enormous families, up to 150 members can live in the same area, and they know everyone in their family by sound and smell. Mice with smaller families are prone to adopting in those they feel have been neglected. Pseduodragons, bats, small birds, even rats and orphaned kittens have been adopted into their broods and fussed over by protective mama mice.

Alignment:

Mice are almost always neutral good, though there can be bad seeds in any brood.

Language:

Mice get squeak speak automatically.

Bonus languages: Chirp, feline, vulpine, Croak

Names:

Male names: Reepicheep, Pip, Twix

Female names: Peepikeek, Vissi, Tavy

Adventurers:

Mice are not a particularly adventurous lot by nature. The most surefire way to get any mouse to leave home is for a non-mouse family member to go off on an adventure, making a mouse feel compelled to look after its broodmate, or ordered to do so by a nervous mama or aunty. Although rare, the occasional mouse with wanderlust can happen, they are generally whispered about among families and quite behind closed hulls.
