these are my entries for Ash and Sprout! I had a lot of fun drawing these, they're really cool designs! BIO Ash: he/him, straight, fierce, insecure, loud, nervous, mischievous, fun, dark sense of humor, weak-willed, flexible, feisty, bold, has the power to create and destroy fire in his control. Sprout: they/them, pansexual, calm, doesn't care, easily bored, patient, curious, doesn't get humor, strong-willed, bright, introverted, has the power to grow plants at a very fast rate and to kill them, but they cannot create them without part of the plant they want to create. BACKSTORY: Ash was in trouble. He had lost control of his power AGAIN and now he was struggling to put it out as the flames reached for the old abandoned house that he had wanted to explore. It wasn't that smart, going into a dry wooden house when you have fire in you. But he did it anyways. And he got too excited when he found a penny on the floor and his paws flared up in flames. Dumb. But now Ash had to put it out. He... wasn't that good at it yet. Okay he couldn't even put out a SMALL fire. He turned and darted towards the door out of the way of the fire. He had learned the hard way that when the fire had left him, it could burn him. He raced out of the house and turned around. Then he did a double take. Giant vines were slithering over the house like a bone-crushing hug, smothering the fire and flattening the house to the ground. Smoke clouded Ash's vision for a second, he crouched to the ground and coughed, his eyes screwed firmly shut. Then a paw touched his shoulder and he jolted upwards. A very pretty she-cat stood above him. "Hi. Can you like, not set houses on fire anymore? It's not cool." He blinked. Then laughed. "sorry miss, but wow did you put out those vines? Epic." He grinned sheepishly at her. She frowned. "They. They/them. Watch:" They put their paw on the ground. Ash blinked. What? But then a sprout rose from the ground, a flower bulb growing on it. It burst open, and Ash grinned. it was in the colors on the non-binary flag. "I'm Ash by the way. You?" His paws flared again, setting the grass on fire. Ash quickly reached out, not quite sure what he was doing, and THE FIRE WENT OUT. WHAT. He looked back at them, their face looked a bit shocked and amused. "I'm Sprout. And why the heck didn't you do that with the house-fire?" They cocked their head in confusion. "I-I don't know. I've never done that before." Ash couldn't explain the feeling. It was kinda as if his entire past was his 'before' and from the moment he met Sprout and on, it was 'after'. He grinned at Sprout. "Can I tell you something sappy?" he said. They put their paw on the ground and the grass suddenly rose in some sort of weird pattern- wait that was a WORD. It said: "yes" Ash's face lit up. "I just have this feeling that our lives just changed forever." *Love story ends on cliffhanger*
