It’s been too long since I visited these guys so it’s about time I did this. Naturally, I’d spent time with the grendels already so it was time to visit with the new, baby norns.
Meet little Bianca!
She’s the daughter of Theo and Tiara. Technically, she is a generation 2 norn BUT she’s a member of the Generation 3 group.
She’s half CFE norn, half… not.
He’s Bianca’s full brother so he’s also half CFE, half standard bengal genome. Looks like he’s wearing PJs, doesn’t he?
Like his sister, he’s also technically a generation 2 norn. So far so good! We have two healthy baby norns.
Next to join us was Sparrow! Yes, I’ve definitely had Fable II on the mind.
Like his siblings, he’s half CFE, half standard genome so it’s hard to tell what genes are mutated and which aren’t.
Charity is their half sister! Instead of Theo, her father is Cheddar so she actually is a generation 3 norn.
Unfortunately, she didn’t live for very long. So far, I’ve had two babies die of genetic disorders so far and one of them died just seconds after she hatched (so I couldn’t grab her .creature file).
This was a bit of a hiccup. I wanted to start with 4 norns. Naturally, I had to pick another.
I had to include Pennywhistle. She was part of spykkie’s wolfing run!
She’s a Generation 1 vanilla Bengal norn. I’d like to feature the other norns from this wolfing run but probably just one or two at a time.
In just 10 minutes, everyone was a child and old enough to be in the Norn Terrarium.
Everyone was eating, playing and smacking each other in the norn terrarium now. It didn’t take long for two of them to get sick, though.
Some anti-bacterial spray had them sorted out and soon they joined the others.
We’ll get to know our little norns next time!
When I returned, AppleJack was sick, but a few lemons and carrots later, she was smiling at me again.
Meet Candice, everyone!
It didn’t take long for AppleJack to decide to join the rest of her family on the island. It also didn’t take her long to change her mind and decide to head back to the waterfall, though!
Penny and Godfried flirted on the island while Patrick worked on making a new friend and AppleJack explored the lighthouse and falls. By now, AppleJack had proven to be the most independent norn.
Penny took care to feed herself but Godfried seemed to be having trouble eating on his own. As if on queue, Penny came up to distract him some more, and then our Grendel friend stopped by to say hello and congratulate the happy couple.
Most tragic was the death of Abigail. I’m sad to see her go though I know her suffering has finally come to an end. She has no eggs to call her own. She spent her last minutes alive with her father, eating Parsnips at the bottom level of the island. At the time, the observation kit paused (I wish it wouldn’t do that) so I carted him away to give him some space and food. Without him, Abi was free to eat the last of the parsnips, but it was too late. Godfried is the one who watched her take her last breath. I hate to have siblings witness each other’s deaths because it always seems so tragic.
