Eloise

''My name is Violet. I'm a rabbit and I go to Silverscale School in my small village, located in Central Jamaa, about one hundred miles south from Jamaa Township. At least, I think so. That's what my sister told me. ''

''I'm eight years old and my best friend is named Forest! She's really cool and smart and she's always gonna be my best friend, even though she's two years older than me. She's a wolf and she has a really big house. When I come over to play there's always somewhere new to explore.''

''I live with my sister Eloise in a small den near the middle of the village. She is much older than me, but we still have a lot of fun together. Our parents disappeared when I was little, I don't really remember them a lot, and I don't know why they never came home, but maybe we can visit them sometime, wherever they are.''

''I was always told by El that our parents had left to find better work in the next village over with the promise they'd return the next night, but they never came back. I was only three years old at the time. I don't really remember what my mom or my dad looked like, but we probably have photos somewhere. ''

''El and I have a vegetable garden in our backyard. When I get home from school I'll help her take care of it, and sometimes if I do a really good job, after we finish caring for it, El will take me to the candy shop owned by Mr. Vinepaw down the street and we'll buy some candy. My favorites are the cherry lollipops. El has always preferred the lemon drops, but we always get some of both. Mr. Vinepaw is really nice and sometimes he'll give us extra. He's always kind of felt like an uncle to me, he's funny and always seems to make a bad day better when we visit.''

I put my little pink journal aside. I can't really think of anything else to write in it. Oh well, it's my journal, nobody but me is going to be looking at it so I don't care. I started filling in the blank space left on the page with drawings of flowers. Mostly petunias. I have to go to school soon, though. El will probably come and bang on my door to wake me up just about...now!

...

Okay, wow, that was kinda anticlimactic. I better get my stuff together anyways though-

Knock knock knock

"Vi! It's time to get up!"

I threw my journal and some other books into my bag and I rolled my eyes. "I've been up FOREVER, El!" I called back.

"Then you shoulda got up as soon as you were awake! You woulda had time to brush your fur extra and have some time to play before you had to go!"

"I'm coming out now, El! Look! I'm up!" I pulled my door open and held up my bag to Eloise's face. "See?"

"Oh, no, not at all actually, I'm going blind! Of course I can see you're awake and that you have your bag, Violet." Eloise joked and ruffled the fur on my head.

"Hey! Stop it!" I swatted her paw away.

"You're going to brush your fur anyways, silly." She poked my forehead and pushed me backwards. "Why does it matter?"
