About Yarrow: I created the first 'iteration' of Yarrow when I was around 14, and I believe I first gave him the name Colin. He was a very tall (like 7 feet) woodland creature who was basically a human with pointy ears, little nubby horns and a cow-like tail. Since then, he has gone by many other names. I changed it to Malcolm for a while, and then Ackley. Ackley became Achillea, as in Achillea Millefolium, also known as the Yarrow plant. And then, eventually, Yarrow. He underwent a lot of design changes over the years and I could never really decide what the point of him was. He started out as one of a species of these forest folk, and then for the longest time he was a hallucination and the only friend of my also-ancient character, Andy... then I got older and stopped being an edgelord. Andy had an overhaul and Yarrow kind of turned into the subject of Andy's writing. I had a big interest in mythology at the time, and decided to pass that onto Andy. Then, I changed Yarrow some more and he became something I don't feel like Andy would have written. So he became separate from everything and I was back to not really knowing what to do with him. :( Quite recently he's become a bit of a persona character. And, one of my closest friends created their own little imp character called Jesper, and they're BFFs now! They live in a little cottage in a forest in some alternate universe where the sky is pink and the vegetation is Different. The setting is vaguely medieval. Yarrow is a wizard but also a bit of a local spectacle, and his fangs and gothic aesthetic (and, in all fairness, the fact he practices hemomancy) led the locals to believe he is a vampire. What he actually is, I'm not entirely sure. If he's not the only one of his kind, there aren't many of them out there. He has no family other than his buddy Jesper.
