A mysterious tall bug, who likes to explore high places and sing their melodies with their flute. They don't talk much, but are very observant. Not fond of fighting! their cloak and mask are made of leaves.
Roseline and Zabava are a traveling moth-merchant and grasshopper-mercenary duo.
Roseline is a traveling silk trader and larvae shepherd. She is a Rosy Maple Moth, who was born faraway from Hallownest. However, she knew of that place through the stories her Granny told about it. She grew up hearing about a moth paradise, a place where it's always bright, where they are protected, where they have no need for anything. When Granny died, Roseline made it her goal to visit it one day.
Zabava is a traveling soldier-for-hire. She is a grasshopper who was raised by ants. Now she doesn't feel like she's both. She's neither. She's lost in the world without a people to call her own. So, she travels in hopes of finding a place for herself. It's an awkward process and the world is cruel, so she chooses to explore it by offering her combat skills to anyone in need.
Their paths have crossed many moons ago and they've been inseparable since.
Zabava will follow Roseline anywhere. She's willing to sacrifice many things, including her life, for Roseline's sake. She sees in Roseline the thing she's been looking for all her life. She wants to call the moth her home. But she's too afraid to admit it aloud.
Roseline finds solace in Zabava's presence. When the road is harsh and paved with death, when everyone warns her to turn back, when she finds the ruins of her Granny's dream in what's left of Hallownest... Roseline thinks she'll be fine as long as Zabava is with her. She cannot confess, though. She cannot risk Zabava leaving.
A new OC that I adopted from @schematikart !!
I actually had him for a bit but didn't post because I didn't have a name set in stone yet
For now, I'm calling him Mousse :3

Entering the Dream of The Overgrown God
[ Khepri belongs to @schematikart ]
some bees. top one, Curt, belongs to a friend. he's guard to a desert hive and wrangler of beetle steeds
lower guy, Arin, is mine. they used to be a guard to the same hive, but they were kicked out after attacking a traveler. this is a Big Deal since the hive runs a town and survives on trade and travel through it and the good PR that requires.
Arin now wanders around the town, stealing food to survive (much to Curt's annoyance. that's his lunch)
