Places to go...

…and new things to discover!

What started out as a random sketch suddenly transformed into…well, him.


Everyone, please welcome "Professor" Zachary Anderson. And yes, he is ,unintentionally, a new character of mine.


He won't be anything close to a major character like Sierra, but he is someone that plays a small, but significant role in her life story.
Here's a bit of info on him:

A highly intelligent (though excitable) fellow, this fox has dedicated his life to research. The subject: Humans. 
They fascinate him. As an encounter with one when he was just a cub, though frightening at first, only helped his curiosity and interest to blossom. He left his rural life for the city at the early age of 1, determined to learn more about humans, and their ways. Now 4 years old, he is a well-learned fox, and tends to speak in an educated manner. Through much struggle, trial and error, and just a bit of help, he has managed to teach himself how to read and write in english and spanish. But his ultimate dream is to learn how to communicate with a human, i.e., be the first fox to speak "their language". His fascination has gone so far as to the point of him beginning to imitate his subjects of interest, from walking upright (even running…sometimes) to participating in certain events, such as New Years Eve, and 4th of July, to name a few. His den is filled with books, paper, coins, watches, and many other human knick-knacks he found over the years, that were either forgotten about or lost in the streets.
His "Professor" title is self-given, due to his high levels of experience and knowledge in his research. It was an idea given to him while he was reading "Harry Potter" by J.K. Rowling-one of his favorite book series.

Yes, believe it or not, that is a very watered-down version of the original description of him from my sketchbook.
I'll probably write the full bio of him in his character sheet…if I ever get around to doing it, that is.
