PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:
As is typical for a weasel, Anise is a lean and lanky beast first and foremost—but instead of being bony, there is an underlying layer of plushness that makes her oh-so-soft and exceptional at hugs. Which is very good, because she prefers hugs over everything else.

Her tail is long for a weasel—being a long-tailed weasel—and she takes great care to make sure it is fluffy and shiny, like the rest of her coat. Her headfur is often kept long; hanging loose below her shoulders and braided down to her lower-back. She lacks any scars, though does have plenty of scratches and calluses on her hands from time spent gardening. Otherwise her hand- and footpaws are most often bare, usually covered in soil.

Anise also has a partial albinism; pink eyes from the lack of pigment in her irises. While visually stunning, this has the unfortunate effect of ruining her vision in sunny environs. So she prefers to stay inside and work by candle-light to plan out the lives of sun-requiring plants.

As a weasel, Anise has two different coats: one for summer and one for winter. Both forms are marked in black at the tip of each ear and at the tip of her tail. In winter she is wholly white. In summer, her markings appear; a dark face mask surrounded by bits of white that extend up to her ears, as well as a white blaze on her forehead. Unlike most long-tailed weasels, Anise’s belly and paws stay white while the remainder of her fur is light brown.



PERSONALITY:

Kind, caring, and studious, Anise is a goodbeast through-and-through.
She's always thinking of other beasts and her gardens, be that considering the next agricultural project she'll be working on for her neighborhood or just what might make someone smile when they're feeling down. This can have the bad habit of leaving Anise spending little time actually thinking about herself and her own wants—but make no mistake: she's not one to be walked on or forgotten when she actually wants something. She'll find her purpose with all of her self.
Also known as: the "Mom Friend".



STRENGTHS:

[A Kind Heart]
Everybeast deserves the best.

[A Focused Mind]
What do you mean I've been locked in this cabin for 12 hours? No, no—leave me be, I've got to get this done!

[Determination]
No matter the time or effort, sometimes you just have to do the thing.



WEAKNESSES:
[A Fear of Missing Out]
The things beasts do when they're scared of missing the next big thing... or even just a nice sunset.

[A Bit Stubborn]
I don't care if it'll hurt, I'm going to do it anyways!

[Poor Eyesight]
...Who's that over there? A lump shaped like a beast? Or a beast shaped like a lump?

[Pacifist]
I have no intent to harm a beast; never shall I raise my paw against another.


BIOGRAPHY:
Anise has lived a very normal and rather privileged life in Bully Harbour, used to the sounds of people talking and the smell of home cooking within her large family household in the Trenches. Others within Anise's household include: her Parents and Siblings, her Uncle, Noah, her maternal Grandparents, Percival and Catherine, and her Great-Grandmother, Arabella.
She is the eldest of three children to Rowena and Oliver Wainswright, who currently take the prize for the smallest branch of the Wainswright family (with exception given to her single Uncle). To her younger siblings—The twins, Cassia and Chicory—Anise often takes on the role of calm and collected older sister... though mostly just because they are paragons of energy in comparison.

[VI] Vulpine Imperium Mastersheet(1).png
Anise has always shown an interest in the outdoors, plants, and food. Her earliest memory of such love is from when she was very small, exploring the park behind the Wainswright Family House with her paw held tight in her father's.

Now, you may be wondering why Anise is on the BlackShip...
A good question, honestly, and one that Mr. and Mrs. Wainswright have asked Anise several times. While the Wainswright family has a history of Navy participation and affection, in the forms of her Naval Accountant Father and Naval Carpenter Grandfather, neither would have willingly sent their favorite flower to serve on the BlackShip.
As part of her interest in a 'gap year', Anise followed up on a sponsored trip from the University of Length. While typically this happens on much smaller ships that are [more...]


POSSESSIONS:

- [Dozens of Notebooks full of Agricultural Layouts]
As well as botanical illustrations, furniture diagrams, and an abundance of fantastical sketches.

- [A Well-Kept Pencil Set]
Decent length pencils that are hand shaved to the perfect point, graphite kept in impeccable condition. Held in a hand-woven case with a bit of a rubber eraser.

-[A Well-Loved Gardening Toolset]
All the typical things required for turning and preparing soil instead of using your paws, including gloves. Less dirt on these than expected, although maybe you didn't expect much...

-[Several Flourishing Plants & Herbs]
A collection of common in-pot plants and herbs used for cooking and medicinal purposes; chives, basil, aloe, etc.

-[A Hand-Woven Hammock]
This colorful piece of tapestry belongs more on a wall than under the body of a weasel, but it's hand-woven for the purpose.
Depictions of clouds, the moon, and stars encourage the user to sleep.

-[A Small Allowance of Gilders from Home]

REAL ESTATE:

1771618709855.png
-[A Bedroom at the Wainswright Family House]
Located in the Portside District of the Trenches, this multi-generational household is nestled against the North-East corner of the Trenches forest. While not a large bedroom, at least in square-footage (the ceilings are quite tall for a weasel), it is private and overlooks the backyard Arboretum. Verdant green paint colors the walls and the balcony access is stuffed with plants on metal shelves.

-[The Arboretum at the Wainswright Family House]
What was once an outdoor enclosed sitting area has been transformed entirely into a greenhouse, coming closer inline to its original purpose. This beautiful glass and metal enclosure contains Anise's joy and life's work; a painstakingly irrigated and completely enclosed garden of herbs and vegetables. While it isn't currently able to grow year-round, Anise is considering how to winter-proof the structure and provide heat to it in the cold times.
