Murchenne "Murch" Hare

"Not Running Away"

- Murch's Tagline

Murch Hara is a 2017-introduced all-around fanon character. Her destiny is to be the next Hare, from the famous fable of The Tortoise and the Hare. She wants to make her father, and everyone, proud, and thus is willing to take her destiny. Even if it means she'll lose. The only problem is that she physically can't follow her destiny. Running around a lot brings up dust, and dust triggers her asthma, and she can't breathe.

In other words, she's a Roybel.

Personality
Murch is the sickly daughter of the Hare, being born with asthma triggered by dust (mostly the one you stir up from running around too fast) and also with a lot of allergies from chemicals to food. Because of this, she's lived a sheltered life.

She's always been protected and is always striving for more freedom, but also smart enough to know that it may not be good for her. As her father's daughter, she's a naturally energetic person.

Murch releases this pent-up energy through art and similar things. She has a way with words, and is a very talkative person. No matter how unsociable her seatmate in a class-ic, Murch will lean over and make vaguely funny comments during class.

She has never found the limits of her comfort zone, but only the limits of her health. Murch is the type of person who can easily cosy herself up in any situation, capable of keeping a cool head (as long as she can still breathe, that is.) However, she doesn't find need to stretch her limits of her own free will.

Murch is also very defensive of her friends and family. She doesn't liked being picked on, though it is a rare happening. She always argues that her father was right that he was the fastest, just arrogant enough not to ensure his victory before napping.

Sports
Of course Murch doesn't personally do the sports themselves. Being the daughter of a well-known sprinter, they bonded over sports competitions on the TV and similar stuff.

Staying Indoors
Outside has all the possible allergens that could cause her to break out or her asthma to trigger. Emydea wasn't happy with it and all the noise, but an air filter was installed in their room because Murch stays inside a lot. She only leaves for classes.

Art
Murch stays inside a lot, as mentioned above. To pass her time, Murch creates things. From songs, to poems, to drawings. She's a very creative person, and it was hard to split each of these into their own subheading.

Ukulele
Yes, there weren't supposed to be separate headings, but this deserved its own. Murch has a strong talent with the ukulele, even calling it the "chillest instrument."

Fashion
While she isn't as stylish as Lizzie Hearts, Murch is fond of putting herself in her own designs. (Due to the fascinating lack of hypoallergenic-and-fabulous in the fashion market, Murch has brought it unto herself to just make her own.)

Dragon Riding
This interest didn't surface until Dragon Games, where Murch found that the sky was high enough that her allergens couldn't reach her. It's the best kind of speed she can get.

Appearance
Next to the smol angry turtle, Murch is the tol allergy hare.

She has brown skin, long, straight brown hair and blue eyes. She's also skinny because she can't eat a lot of things because of her allergies to most foods, and the strict diet her mother enforces upon her.

She has thin eyebrows and a beauty mark under her left eye. Murch always wears glasses because she tried contacts and found that they irritated her.

How the Story Goes
Basically brag-happy hare says he's the fastest (which is technically true) but the tortoise is sick of his sh*t and challenges him to a race. The Hare gets a hella head start and decides to take a nap because there's no way the tortoise is gonna beat him.

But the tortoise just keeps on going, until eventually he wins and the hare loses. In other words, don't brag about things all the time.

How does Murch come into it?
She is the child of the March Hare's second cousin, twice removed, and the Hare of the story. Being a hare of pride, Murch's father moved away from their forest after his horrendous loss against the slow Tortoise. Her parents met in that new forest and stayed there ever since.

Murch has some magical thing that can turn her into a human. But anyway, she was born a really small hare, so it's surprising why she's ''SO TALL. ''

She can still turn into a hare. It's just that when she turns back human she's sneezing and tearing up.

Family
Murch's father is the Hare, but she's also really, really, really distantly related to the March Hares of Wonderland through her mother. It's distant enough to be negligible and not worth mentioning in any conversation.

The Hare is always worried for Murch, and doesn't care about the fact that she can't fulfill her destiny. Murch was assigned to the Track and Shield portion of the Tri-Castle-On, but her father volunteered to compete in her place which isn't exactly allowed, but Co-Headmaster Grimm passed it by. They actually live in some burrow in Ever After, but the Hare took work as a delivery hare in Bookend in order to be close to his daughter, in case she ends up in the infirmary or something.

Her mother is distant relatives with the March Hare. Helgha Hara is fond of cooking, and always keeps her daughter on a strict diet and is so far the only person capable of memorizing all of Murch's allergies. She sends weekly meal packages to Ever After High from their burrow.

Emydea Turtelle
Emydea doesn't exactly see Murch as a friend, per se. But they room together, and Emydea has to be the one to bring Murch to the First Aid in case of an asthma attack or when her allergies act up.

Emydea feels responsible for Murch and they hate it, but Murch is thankful.

Dec Hare
Two hares have to stick together. Dec always carries a candy store, but also a pack of inhalers because everyone has to worry about Murch.

For some reason, since destiny gave Murch the ability to find good places to nap, she uses this to Dec's advantage as finding the best places to deal tea and candy.

Audaline Syne-Holliday
Audaline, Emydea and Murch are the Bookend Babes, or so one of them calls it. They always go shopping together because Audaline always stays in the same store, Emydea just skates around casually and Murch never actually buys anything.

Maggie Mirror
Maggie and Murch aren't that close, and sympathize with the need to rush somewhere whenever bad things go to worse (which is a more common case for Murch that it is for Maggie.)

Pet
Much to her roommate's distaste, Murch owns a pet tortoise names Champ. However, Champ doesn't stay at the dorms because if anything that's supposed to be inside him ends up touching Murch (saliva and the like,) she'll probably start rashing up.

Romance
They'll never date, and it's unlikely from both sides, but Raging Allergies is the ship between the future Hare and Tortoise. Emydea obviously worries about Murch, because without Murch, Emydea can't have their destiny; and Murch is always trying to get past their family rivalry and be friends. (Still unlikely though. Emydea is aro-ace and stuff.)

Murch is open to any ships, but however currently identifies as bisexual with a preference for girls who care a lot about her and worry about her constantly. That usually applies to a lot of people.

Enemies
There is, in fact, a family rivalry between the Haras and the Turtelles, but Murch refuses to acknowledge it. Murch doesn't often make enemies. Everyone's too worried about her.

Outfits
Blue, black and gold. Lots of cottontail-ball-faux-fur things, and rabbit or hare ear symbolisms. Oh, and they all have to be hypoallergenic.

She also has a different pair of glasses for each of her outfits. {| class="article-table" !Art !Murch Hara's Outfits

Signature - Roybel
Murch wears her usual glasses, with the hare ears at the corner. She wears a dark blue illusion-neckline romper, with a peachy peplum and a black tulle skirt. She wears long light blue socks, and black shoes.

(The style is oddly reminiscent of the Mirror Beach Line, but that's another thing entirely.)
