gravity hill boundary
Sorrel's boundary is hard to capture in a photo. Gravity hills are also called as magnetic or mystery hills. They are defined as downhill roads or slopes that create an optical illusion making them look like they go uphill. Sorrel's is a stretch of freeway in upstate New York.

Sorrel Scrambling
Esk, like bunnies, have no paw pads. So I have to assume that like bunnies they also have a hard time walking on tile. Sorrel in particular is exceptionally bad at it, and Wondering-Rogue created this perfect animation of Sorrel scrambling around on the ground before giving up and floating his way over to his family <3 |
elemental
light
Sorrel gained his light elemental at the same time that his partner, Dusk, gained their shadow elemental. Sorrel loves using his light to create cool patterns and spirals as he walks.

familiar
European robin (small)
Rune is Sorrel's tiny robin familiar, and Sorrel thinks of Rune as his first friend as an esk. Rune always gives Sorrel sound advice, and can be seen flying around with Dusk and Nyx's bird familiars as well.

nature feature
orange dogwood branches
Sorrel spends all of his time with his found family, jumping between their boundaries, and other parts of the developed biome. He is madly devoted to his partner, Dusk. He is the light to their shadows. Since their initial meeting, they're rarely separated.
Nyx, their pseudo-esk child, can also usually be found somewhere around the two. Nyx is more unruly and wild than the older Sorrel and Dusk, but all three love each other and consider themselves a family. Sorrel is fun, and likes to play and frolic. He's also kind of clumsy though, and has to rely on phasing through objects a lot. |
Sorrel was a Pekingese rescue dog named Sprinkles. He was bold and confident, and his owners spoiled him constantly. He was very loyal to them, but he had a bit of a mischievous streak. One night he snuck away from home, and accidentally got lost.
X saw him wandering around on a strange gravity hill, and viewed him as a product of human intervention. X also appreciated his loyalty to humans, so they transformed him. They mostly wanted him to retain some of the grandeur and long, silky fur from his original form. But in an unintentional act of defiance Sorrel ended up looking more like his favorite animal instead: a fox. He was much more clumsy than a real fox, but he did retain his loyalty, confidence, and curiosity. |
Sorrel was unable to remember details about his owners after his transformation. He did possess memories of how much he loved them though, so he was determined to find them again. He also manifested a small, robin familiar named Rune. On his journey he met Dusk, another recently transformed esk. Dusk was in a mournful, somber place when they met, and it broke Sorrel's heart. He became intent on cheering Dusk up, and the two grew close very quickly. Dusk decided to accompany Sorrel on his journey to find his old family.
It took a little over a year for the pair to find Sorrel's owners. During that time the two esks helped each other find peace in their new lives. They went on adventures within and outside of the Developed Biome. Sorrel evolved a light elemental, and Dusk became a shadow elemental. They made friends, and got very side tracked in the Conservatory, but ultimately continued their quest.

Sorrel felt bittersweet about finding his owners. He was glad to see them again, but dismayed about being unable to cuddle in their laps, or lick their faces. Sorrel and Dusk were also surprised to meet their new pets: a small kitten, and dog. The kitten introduced herself as Nyx. She was terrified of them at first, but rapidly fascinated by the pair.
The three spent a lot of time together over the years, and she always joked that they were basically her parents. Eventually, she started asking them to turn her into an esk. The two told her this was impossible, and continued to dismiss her wishes. One night, Nyx went to greet Sorrel as he arrived in her backyard, but to her alarm it was a real fox. The fox attacked her, but luckily Dusk and the real Sorrel arrived in time to transform her. Dusk performed the transformation, and to their astonishment, Nyx remembered almost everything about her past life, except for the attack. Since then, the three have lived together as a little found family. They travel between each others' boundaries, and go on adventures to the Conservatory or other Biomes. They still keep an eye on Nyx and Sorrel's previous owners, and watch over them as best they can. |
X • creator, acquaintance
X transformed Sorrel due to the human intervention that went into his creation as Pekingese dog. X didn't explain much after Sorrel's transformation, and they left quickly. Sorrel doesn't really feel any type of way about X, and doesn't think about them much. Dusk • lover; life partner Sorrel is the first esk Dusk became friends with, and they easily decided to stay together forever. Sorrel helped Dusk come out of their grief spiral, and Dusk accompanied Sorrel on his quest to find his previous owners. They fell in love quickly, and developed their complimentary shadow and light elementals at the same time. Dusk is quiet and introverted while Sorrel is vibrant and energetic. They consider each other soulmates. Nyx • Sorrel is Nyx's adoptive parent Even though Dusk is technically the one who performed Nyx's transformation, Sorrel felt just as involved. Sorrel felt guilty for awhile about Nyx's transformation. Nyx had confused a regular fox for him, and had been attacked, spurring the need to transform her to survive. Nyx thinks of the attack as some kind of divine intervention, and loves being an esk. Sorrel, like Dusk, thinks of her as his child. Shade • Sorrel, Dusk and Nyx helped Shade feel comfortable as an esk, Sorrel did Shade's second TF Sorrel wants to help Shade become more comfortable as an esk, but knows he can only help her on her own terms. |
Panda • friend, neighbor
Panda is one of Sorrel's neighbors, and is very sweet. Sorrel can be a little too high energy for him sometimes, but they still like to hang out.
Kit • friend, neighbor
Kit is another one of Sorrel's neighbors, and is good friends with Panda. Sorrel likes to visit Kit's bee farm boundary and fly around pretending to be a bee despite the fact that he's way too big, and really not like a bee at all.
