Pippa Fern

*"MY PETS! MY POOR PETS"*

*―TGPR Dialog*

**Pippa Fern** started their small pet shop in Cafe Central on accident! Initially, they only planned to buy up a space large enough to host all of their beloved pets, but eventually, they discovered their uncanny ability to match up Midveilers with their perfect companions. Though they do their best to stay strong, Pippa can't help but get a little teary when parting ways with a pet. They spend a majority of their time playing with their menagerie, and have a bad habit of not locking their cages at night. After all, the pets just look so sad when they're trapped like that! Pippa no longer lives in their pet shop, and instead has moved in with their husband, Bisque. They take turns taking specific pets home with them to Bisque's, but their Pixie Sprite is ALWAYS by their side!

## Physical Description

*"When you see a dandelion, do you see it as weed, or do you pluck it to make a wish?"*

*―Friendship hub dialog*

**Pre-Druidic Transformation:** Prior to the Enlightened event, Pippa was a standard dandelion arborling. Their plant growth appears to be in the white, fluffy, seed stage of a dandelion lifecycle. They have small, perky ears with pink inner ears that match their cheeks, eyelids, nose, belly, and paws. A orange and red scarf is draped around their neck and a satchal is slung across their torso. They have a single gold earring on their right ear.

**Post-Druidic Transformation:** Pippa, being an arborling, had the chance to undergo druidic transformation. After their transformation they looked very different from their original design. In addition to being taller, Pippa's colors changed and they gained druidic-specific traits. Pippa's tail plant growth bloomed into a yellow-orange dandelion flower; they also have new plant growth in the form of a fluffy collar made from the same orange petals. Pippa now dons a dark red and orange striped sweater along with some pets from their shop/TGPR. Their feet now resemble the updated arborling anatomy but remain dark gray. They also now have longer whiskers and drudic whiskers above their eyes. Other minor changes include hue shifts in their creme-colored fur and the green used for their leaves. Their ears are quite droopy now as well.

## Personality

Pippa is a bright and bubbly arborling, albeit a bit absentminded and clumsy. They have a soft spot for all of the pets in their care and will often let them roam the store freely, stating that they cannot stand seeing them locked up.

Along with their appearance, their personality seems to have changed from their druidic transformation as well. Previously, Pippa donned a worried expression. Friendship hub text indicated that they struggled with confidence and were seeking help from Bisque. Post-transformation, Pippa sports a smile and stands with confidence. Their dialog reflects a more open attitude and it seems they have not only grown in height but grown as a midveiler to be a more happy and self-assured arborling.

## Relationships

**Tomo Bisque** is the husband of Pippa Fern.

**Dahlia Fern** is Pippa's adoptive sister.

**Lottie Luck** is an old friend of Pippa, and the rival of their husband, Bisque.

## Activities & Quests

* Pippa is the token NPC for monthly site-wide scavenger hunt activity: The Great Pet Rescue (often abreviated to TGPR)
* Pippa was one of the main NPCs for the non-reoccuring Midveil Wedding event. The event focused on the marrige of Pippa and their significant other, Tomo Bisque.

	+ A Sweet Gift

* Player's can pay a visit to Pippa in the friendship hub by obtaining their friendship charm that once added to a user's collections give them access to their daily friendship page.

 "Relationships are hard! Sometimes I wake up and Bisque is so grumpy. It's easy to take it personally, but I've learned that sometimes love isn't an even equation. Sometimes I wake up as a 25% and Bisque gives the other 75%. Then the next day, it's my turn to step up. Does that make sense? Relationships should always be a team effort!"

## Trivia

* Despite the name, Pippa's Pets (a shop in the explore tab of the website) is actually managed by Goob the goomdrop. Flavor text in the shop indicates that while Pippa is present, they are too busy trying to catch escaped pets to oversee the store.
* Pippa and Bisque are currently the only married NPCs.
* Their favorite time of year is Halloween.
