Fungal

She’s a really fun-gal.

Transfem + cassgender, unable to transition (she/her pronouns). Aromantic & omnisexual. Anthropomorphic + feral undead Shiras moose (can switch in-between forms due to her blessing) that has pincushion moss and destroying angel mushrooms growing all over her. Roams the forest during the early morning and rests in the afternoon, at night she goes to the realm of the undead to give what she foraged in the morning to the spirit that gives her the ability to roam the mortal realm even after death so they will continue gifting her with life. The spirit also gifted her with intelligence + a human-like form so she can become her own person and not just another feral animal, although she still has her normal beastly body to protect herself from humans who wish her harm. However, if she fails to bring the spirit offerings they will strip all of their blessings away from her and make her die + if she receives a very large injury the spirit would *have* to let her die so Fungal spends most of her new life foraging for berries and nuts as offerings/hiding away from threats. She doesn’t mind that too much though…

Both her beastly and anthro form can communicate with normal animals and she uses this ability to educate her fellow critters on how cool the spirit helping her is and whatnot and how they should essentially just run out in the road so the spirit can reanimate them and give them intelligence (the spirit can only bring back those who died a before they were supposed to, this includes those who committed suicide). Yeah, the spirit isn’t really that great of a guy and has managed to manipulate Fungal into spread their “good word” so they can make an army of undead animals that they can control for their Plan™️ (they hate their higher-ups <33 (they were like them at one point but was casted out from their pantheon after doing some Not Good things. The deities think they’re dead but they are very much not and still very much have powers)). Thankfully the feral animals don’t really understand/care about what tf Fungal is talking about and progress has been slow

Died after being hit by a car and her soul was in purgatory for awhile while the deities debates in what they should do with her soul due to her sudden death before the spirit swooped in and saved her. While she was only in purgatory for an hour or so, days passed in the mortal realm so when she was sent back her body had decayed a little bit and had moss and mushrooms growing all over it. The spirit brushed her body up a bit before sending her spirit back in but wasn’t able to completely fix it so the mushrooms and some small gruesome gashes remain, Fungal doesn’t care too much though and sees her injuries/plant-life as interesting more than anything.

Also the spirit altered her body a little bit to aid her in foraging and stuff (like webs in-between her anthro form’s hands so she can forage underwater and an extra pair of ears in order to hear threats approaching better and whatnot), nothing big though.

* Originally the very first MushWing design (MushWings are a *Wings of Fire* fantribe by Howl) but due to Scroll becoming disinterested in the series she decided to change it into something original.
* She loves foggy mornings.
* She feels very connected to the mushrooms growing out of her body which is why she named herself Fungal after she was blessed.
