🎃 Nerd With Fangs 🎃

it's funny cause in the development process i was originally considering making them like, a spider hybrid character, but in a centaur way

so they would of had a more human-esque top half but a spider bottom with spider legs

but then i realized, i actually have a LOT of spider type characters, angel, biscuit, angel's parents, the 3rd gen characters that are angel's, some ocs from my monster project....one which actually has a similar concept...

so i decided to do a different anthro, and decided "Why not bat?"

like i have a LOT of vampire characters, and i have anthros like werecats and werewolves, and the like.

but i've never made a Batperson, so Dusk looking like this was just for me to try something new

plus i enjoy nonhuman designs

I just thought a white bat would be more aesthetically pleasing against the pink and purples of their covens XD

and i don't have really any interest in sonic, or have had any yet, so dusk looking like rouge is pure coincidence XD

honestly, she'd probably avoid the yelling and just get straight to the point

Oh this is Dusk! Someone asked about archie having friends so i went about designing him some and came out with Dusk.

Dusk is a witch from another different island who has immigrated to the BI quite recently.

this sets an interesting dynamic with archie because he's grown up in a world where everyone is more then aware of his ortet, and therefore has prejudgments regarding him, even when they don't mean to.

So he's used to being talked about, judged, and gawked at, not to mention the people who think he's belos reincarnated or are worried he will only bring bad news.

But Dusk? Dusk and their family weren't there for the events of the show, they have no former opinons on belos or were directly harmed by him. So Dusk is maybe the first time archie has met someone he feels he has a complete blank slate with.

And Dusk is more then happy to make friends since they only just moved here, have someone to show them around.

Most kids don't get too close to archer given they may be targeted by lingering cult members or of fear of being judged. But Dusk just sees archer as another kid who just was born into a bad situation, and they understand feeling outcast, after all they're the new kid.....and they were used to being bullied themselves back at their original home.

Dusk just doesn't care what others have to say about their friendship, they like archie, they know archie needs more support in his life outside of the adults who protect him, and they're ride or die for him.

They can't wait till they can meet up after school (Sadly they both go to different schools) to hang out, study, or bother archie at his jobs.

Dusk primarily studies in abominations and oracle magic, and is incredibly studious, they're a bit of an overachiever, and they like to experiment, They're incredibly curious and sometimes that makes them do dumb and irrational things.

They have a firm interest in finding new ways to use abomination magic, and like using oracle magic to prepare for future outcomes. They love fruit, they're terrified of water, and they won't hesitate to beat you up if you hurt archie.
