Quarry

Created and edited by Melodi Frost.

No one knows Quarry exists except her friends, so she doesn't have a title. Flame, her first friend helped her name herself. Since she grew up with Nocturns, she didn't have a name. (a.k.a. Pirate. Pirate is her nickname given to her by Flame and Cycill. They were referring to her eye patch and how she kind of looks like a pirate or a criminal.)

Quarry is friends with Rose, Cycill, Leilah, Illia, and Flame. She has a pet Nocturn named Penny (though she refers to Penny as a sister). She was friends with Flame and Cycill before she even got Penny. They were some of her first friends and she would do anything for them.

Personal history

Quarry wasn't wanted as a baby, so she was abandoned in the woods. Her crying and wailing caught the attention of a nearby Nocturn pack. They took her in and raised her. she grew up learning what Nocturn behaviors are like and how they communicate (so she can understand Nocturns). When she was 15, she was out exploring in the woods late one evening, when she ran into Flame. At the time Flame was 17 and really tall for his age. This totally freaked Quarry out, but she stuck around because she was curious and wanted to observe him. She spied on him for a little until she was caught. Here is a little written bit of how this went down:
She peeked through the bushes again. His back was to her, so she could see all of the scars on his bare back, even a fairly new looking one with a bright red scab over it. She liked the way his belt of animal teeth and claws jingled and clacked together. Though it did make him look more threatening. "Come out!" He yelled. Of course, she didn't understand. "I said to come out!" He shouted a second time. She tucked deeper into the bushes and curled herself into a tight ball. He suddenly stomped over to the foliage and pulled her out by the skirt of her fur dress. She yelped in alarm. "Why were you following me?" He asked harshly, still holding onto her dress so that she couldn't run away. She tilted her head in question like she had seen the leader of the pack doing it. She supposed it meant a question, but she had never seen a Nocturn tilt their head like that. So she might as well try it and see what happened. What were the sounds this human was making with his mouth? She wondered. "What? Can't you speak?" The human asked. She did another head tilt. "Talk!" He screamed, pulling out a sharp knife from his claw belt. "Why were you following me? Were you going to try and kill me?" A loud, piercing roar, like a scream, rang out as a large Nocturn she recognized as Flao, burst from the trees and pinned the human to the ground.
After the encounter with Flame, Quarry gets to know him better, and Flame helps her to learn how to read and write. She is still getting the hang of it and sometimes needs things read to her. She met Penny when she was with Cycill and Flame, exploring the woods. Penny was all alone and abandoned. Seeing that this Nocturnal was all alone, Quarry took her in. Soon after Quarry met Flame, he started bringing items to her for her to experiment with. She found a love of inventing and made a set of special goggles for Penny so that they can fly together in daylight. When Quarry and Penny met Rose, Illia, and Leilah, they didn't like them too much. But, know they now they can trust them.

Flame taught her how to read, write and speak. She learned her hunting and foraging skills from the Nocturn she saw as a mother, Flao.

Mental Trauma

She was pretty scared (physically and mentally) when she fell off of Flao while flying around the mountains and cut the left side of her face really bad. She lost her vision in that eye and she felt pretty depressed after that. But, she has learned to embrace it as something that makes her unique after Flame and Cycill gave her the nickname "Pirate".
