Carmen France

**Carmen France** is a therapist working for her business Panicmal, and one of the original 78 children of Holly Sarah France.

## Appearance

Carmen is a sleek female Guardian with a soft curly coat of pale reddish fur, eight darker wavy stripes along her arms and back matching the colour of her short bouncy hair and tailtip, and darker still nose and hooves. She has two golden hoops and studs in each of her ears, and three gold rings around her neck matching her eye colour, though can often be seen wearing more jewellery such as rings, as well as commonly wearing slight pinkish eyeshadow.

## Personality

Owner of Panicmal therapy offices in New Cross City, Carmen is always ready to listen and help no matter what. She is incredibly calm and collected, talking in a constant monotone caring voice that her patients adore, she is rarely seen emoting beyond this though, with very little being able to break a different expression from her. A beloved member of the community devoting her life to helping others, Carmen moreso prefers quiet company, staying in and talking rather than going out much, despite her profession she has a tendency to gossip about anything and everything she hears without even realising she’s doing it, making her quite popular for acquiring news from.

## History

### Pre-Series

Owner of Panicmal therapy offices in New Cross City, Carmen is part of Holly’s second litter of fawns born March 29th 2007 in the forests of northern England. She is incredibly calm and collected, talking in a constant monotone caring voice that her patients adore, she is rarely seen emoting beyond this though, with very little being able to break a different expression from her. Carmen set up shop in the abandoned building upon moving to the island in September of 2012, and has ever since worked there and lived in the above apartment, transforming it into what it is today. Located not far out the front of Jackard, she runs the practice alongside a small team, including TG Damaen as of 2021, all employees are equally as unqualified as any of the other workers of the island, though most find Carmen and her peers to be incredibly peaceful and helpful to talk with, which is still better than nothing.

Despite having several fawns in past with other island members, Carmen came to the realisation soon after moving to Custos that her preference in partners instead lies in women, though is yet to find anyone to spend her life with, unsure like most of her peers if she actually wants one at all anymore. Still though she much prefers the quiet company of other women, staying in and talking rather than going out much, despite her profession she has a tendency to gossip about anything and everything she hears without even realising she’s doing it, making her quite popular for acquiring news from. When she does go out she can usually be found at Jackard alongside it’s highest tier players, claiming to not have a gambling addiction, though such has been up for debate for years. With the hardships of island life, her business is beyond necessary and always busy, granting her good priority on the import list despite not being part of the overruling council herself, though she still attempts to ask for very little resources where possible, hoping it will help Panicmal stay in high priority for as long as possible.
