Quincy Quickpaw

Appearance

Quincy has reddish brown fur covering most of his body except for his underbelly which is white. He stands 10cm tall and his tail is nearly as long as he is, his eyes are large and bright and a deep brown colour. He is very proud of his whiskers which are particularly long and thick.

Personality

Known in the town for his quick wit and easy-going nature, Quincy is an affable sort and gets on with almost everyone. He has a quick mind and is able to come up with a solution for most of the town's problems, even if his ideas are sometimes a little unorthodox. The townsfolk have long since learned to just go along with his unusual ideas as they usually turn out surprisingly well.

Role

Quincy is the current Headmouse of the Burrows and has been in this illustrious position for the last nine years. He was quite suprised when he was nominated for election, and even more so when he got voted in, it wasn't a position he had considered for himself up till now. The townsfolk had put their faith in him though and he wasn't going to let them down. He has been a good leader so far, and people say he is very fair in his judgements. He also has an open door policy and any mousefolk may come to him if they have a problem.

History

He was a very curious child, asking endless questions of everyone in the village, until most of them got sick of answering. This did not deter him however, as he simply began to experiment to find the answers himself. Some of these experiments did not end in the greatest of fashions, as when he tried to figure out how to make glue himself. Or the time he tested to see if certain smells would ward off weasels, he still has the nick in his left ear from that one.
When he got to adulthood he chose to become a forager, as that would allow him to explore beyond the glade, he was also very fast and able to run from danger easily. He was willing to go places the other mousefolk wouldn't to collect particularly rare treats, and would always share them afterwards. While he would often put himself in precarious positions he never endangered the lives of his foraging crew.

Goals & Motivations

Since becoming Headmouse, Quincy's main motivation is to bve the best leader he can for his people. To find ways to improve their lives and keep them safer from the many dangers of the forest. He hopes one day to take a trip to one of the Big Folk villages he has heard about, and see if they are indeed real.

Likes & Dislikes

He has a fondness for blackberry jam, and acorn cakes, and a bit of a weakness for fermented mushroom beer. He loves a good joke and likes to make people laugh. People who are selfish or greedy make him very angry, as he is someone who always shares whatever he has, especially if the person is in need.
