Finally get to introduce my OC! Hope you like her!
Jack looked at the new person he assumed had to be Cupid. She was in a bright red short-sleeve blouse and cream-colored shorts that reached just below her knees. She wore red ballet flats, with a small braided red, white, and black anklet on her left ankle. She was the same height as Jack with tanned skin and a hair color he couldn't decide on; light brown or dark blond, it was hard to tell. It cascaded down her back to just above her waist. She had high cheek bones and gold eyes that were full of laughter and smiles, exaggerated with two blond eyebrows that looked like twin slashes on her forehead. Strapped to her back was a quiver of arrows with red feathers on the ends and ivory heads. A black necklace made of a shiny substance that looked like obsidian with a heart resting in the middle and a silver charm bracelet covered in metal bows, arrows, and hearts on her wrist. And on her left hand, a cherry wood ring with a small flame carved on the top around her middle finger. And though Jack saw arrows, he didn't see a bow on her anywhere.
Cupid turned just in time to catch Jack staring at her. She gave a smile that was slightly lopsided before saying, "Like what you see?". Jack felt his cheeks turn a bright pink as he looked the suddenly interesting floor. "Well, I'm impressed!" Bunnymund said, smiling at Jacks embarrassment. "I've never seen him turn that color in three hundred years and you did it in ten seconds!" He seemed to find this extremely funny and Jack thought he was laughing a little too hard. Okay, make it way to hard.
Cupid smiled again and stuck out her hand towards Jack. "The name's Cupid, but most people call me Heart." She shrugged. "It might sound cheesy, but someone came up with it and just kinda stuck." Jack took her hand and shook it. "Jack Frost." he said. She tilted her head at him before saying, "Newbie?" "Yeah, how'd you know?" Jack asked. Heart just shrugged again. "Just haven't seen you around before, that's all." she answered simply.
She looked over to her right before a huge grin came across her face. "North! How's it been going, Gramps?!" she said, letting go of Jack's hand and rapping North in a hug. North couldn't help but let out a bellowing laugh and saying, "I missed you too, Cupid!" he said, exaggerating the two syllables in "Cupid" so it sounded almost like, "Cue-pid". She smiled up at him before patting his belly. "Still on your normal diet of cookies and fruitcake, I see." She said cheerfully. "Eh, what can I say?" he said with a shrug.
She turned right to look to the bustling workshop below, turning her back to Jack. This movement sent something large and white rushing towards him. He jumped back with a "Whoa!", narrowly missing to mass of feathers and catching Heart's attention. "What?" she asked, looking over her shoulder at him. Jack looked open-mouthed at the twin angle wings jutting out from her shoulder blades, so large they curved up to the top of her head to her bare ankles, white with the same turquoise tinge as the feather he spotted floating down from the ceiling. His mouth still open, he pointed to the wings, then to Heart and back again. When she gave him a blank look, he closed his mouth and drew back his finger, before saying, "Nothing." in an everything's fine but not really type voice that almost squeaked.
Heart gave him a weird look before turning to the others again and crying, "Sandy, my man!". She walked over to him, giving him knuckles that Sandy made look so natural it had to be something they did regularly. "How's the dream business going for you?" He gave her a thumbs-up and flashed a little sand smiley face over his head. "Hey, I heard the Leprechaun was having some trouble with a group of wild horses eating his clover fields. How's that been effecting him?" she asked. The Sandman began flashing little sand symbols in a blur of gold with the help of some hand motions. Jack couldn't keep up, though he did spot some four leave clovers and little Irish top hats. Heart just nodded with the occasional "Really?" and "Um-hum". When he finished, she said, "Well, good for him. Next time you see him give him my best wishes."
Sandy nodded just as Tooth crossed her arms and said, "Oh, stop showing off how fast you can keep up with Sandy." she said with a roll of her eyes and a "No offence, Sandy." He just held his hands up and shook his head. "Well, if it isn't the Tooth Fairy herself." said Heart. "Long time, no see!" "Yeah, and I liked it better that way." mumbled Tooth.
Jack leaned over to Bunnymund and whispered, "Whoa, what happened? I've never seen Tooth so harsh!" "Yeah, she and Heart haven't ever really gotten along. She won't admit it, but I think Tooth is mad at Heart for something." Bunnymund answered. "You mean like you and me with the Easter Sunday thing forever ago?" Jack asked. Bunny glared at him. "Yeah,something like that." he said bitterly before adding, "My guess is it was the first date where someone lost a permanent tooth after a 'romantic' rollerblading incident. Heart's argument is that their auras didn't match and she had to stop it. I don't think Tooth has ever really forgiven her for it." "Um, okay." Jack said. Didn't seem like that big of a deal to him, but then again, neither did Easter Sunday.
"So, why do you need me again?" Everyone looked at Heart. "What?! I wasn't here for the first part of North's speech!" Heart said defensively. "Nightshade's back." Bunny said simply. "Aw, again?!" Heart groaned. "I thought we took care of her back in 1574?" "Yeah, we did. But that was 1574 and this is 2012. She's had plenty of time to recover." Tooth snapped. "In fact, I'm surprised she hasn't tried anything like this before now." "Well, apparently she's trying something now." said Heart. "Speaking of which, what's she 'trying', exactly?" she asked. "Well, after Pitch's attempt in April, Shade saw how well her brother did and I guess she, thinking herself smarter and more powerful to Pitch, adopted his idea and is planning something similar to what he did." North said.
"Wait, how did you come across information to create this theory?" Bunny asked. "It was...uh...another shadow." North finally admitted. Bunny looked at him. "Your kidding?" he said. "Is this another dramatic Pitch intro?!" "No, no!" North said defensively. "This was a different kind of shadow! This one was a shadow of a bird, a falcon, made of a purple darkness, so dark, it was only a shade way from being black!" North said dramatically. "So I got pulled away from my eggs for this?" Bunny asked, annoyed. "You forget, old friend, of what happened last time I saw something like this! And I can feel it...in my belly!" North pointed out, exaggerating his comment with a slap of his stomach. Bunny rolled his eyes, admitting defeat with a sigh. "Fine, how do we start?" Bunny asked reluctantly.
"Wait, I never said I would help you guys!" Heart suddenly outburst. Everyone gave her a look. "What, you automatically think I'll help you? You never even asked!" she said, crossing her arms defensively. Tooth groaned and rolled her eyes. North sighed. "Heart, will you help us?" Bunnymund finally said. Heart looked at him. He sighed. "...Please?" he added. Heart observed them, starting with Bunnymund, then Sandy, North, Tooth, and finally Jack before shrugging and saying, "Yeah, okay." in a very lay back manner. "Wait, that's it?" Tooth asked in astonishment/annoyance. "No deals, no time to think about it so you can leave us in suspense, just 'yeah, okay'?" she said. "Yep." said Heart, looking pretty smug. Jack heard a snort and looked behind him at a Bunnymund trying very hard not to laugh at the scene unfolding before him. Jack also found himself smiling at the sight of Heart and Tooth practically at each other's throats. Bunny was able to pull himself together enough to say, "Okay, girls, let's get back to business. North, where do we start looking?" Just then, one of North's yetis ran in shouting loudly in Russian that just sounded like a series of grunts to Jack. North turned away from the yeti and smiled at Bunnymund. "How about the Cloud Castle?"
