Bug is very soft and kind towards her friends and towards most folks but if someone is being mean or cruel she can quickly take her claws out to be cunning and vindictive right back.
She's not above using her druidic magic to have roots strangle piping beneath a bar that was discriminatory towards her friends, for instance.
Bug likes cuddling with Ivan when he's in the mood for it and just reading together or being read to from his spell books. She also likes to forage with him, and becomes really proud if she finds something he particularly needs for one of his spells!
She loves his dry sarcastic sense of humor too.. it's endlessly amusing to her.. The delivery, too.. deadpan and dry.. her favorite.
She used to wear lots of sheer light dresses and clothing but Moth introduced her to the world of Comfy sweaters and layering. Now her outfit depends on the weather, but unless it's very cold out she still prefers to be barefoot.
Bug's race is a plant and insect based fae species which reproduce by pollination (though they can also use 'genetic material' from other races which allows for cross-breeding) . They are sexless/unisex by default but can adapt if they need or want to.
Bug specifically is heavily inspired by the Morpho Godarti butterfly. (On the light/purple side)
Moth - Best Friend!!! Cooper - Friend!!! Jericho - Friend!!!
Her true name is "Phlox Morpho Gypsophila" but being a fae she doesn't share her true name!! (Except with Ivan..)
She just goes by "Bug" because that's what most people called her when she came around them at first. "Go away, bug" or "nasty little bug". It's not a kind way to refer to the folk, but Bug liked it enough to keep it as her name.
She had very long hair before she joined up with Cooper's Group, but she cut it shortly after because it gave off a lot of pollen and agitated Ivan's allergies.
Bug is strange to most folk who don't know the fae or aren't comfortable with them. The rules she grew up with are very different from the rules of the mundane world, so essentially Coop's Group had to properly socialize her to the customs of the Common Plane.
She's still quirky and "weird" but follows (most of) the laws of common folk now and is quite happy living in this way.
She really loves the little group so much.. especially Ivan!! He's her favorite, she loves Ivan sooo much!
Moth became Bug's best friend and taught her bad habits like asking people what their fetishes are. She thinks it's very interesting and fun to talk about things like that!
When asked in return what her own fetishes were very early on she'd say that she had an "Ivan Fetish" before realizing that her feelings were attraction and love and not something that one would call a fetish.
She still says this but now it's as a joke!!
She also specifically likes to grill Cooper on his and Jericho's activities because it makes his cow nose go all pink and she thinks that's really cute..
Despite seeming like an airhead she's actually very observant and mindful. When she feels chatty she spends lots of time talking to Moth, and when she doesn't she likes to just spend time around Ivan!
Bug loves the whole group like her family and goes out of her way to make sure she cares for them in any ways they'll let her.
At first they weren't so sure about this weirdo fae who was following them around and trying to go on jobs with them. It was frustrating to her but she did bide her time and didn't use faerie tricks on them (loopholes and turn of phrase) because she wanted them to trust her. It did happen over time!
