Juniper Gate Thicket
Sela
“A knee-high rabbit with soft cream fur, long ears, and a moss-green patchwork satchel, about 50 cm tall.”
Sela is an older rabbit who stands knee-high to a grown person, steady and observant, with long ears that miss very little. She has a calm presence, but she can be stubborn when she believes the old ways of the thicket should be respected.

On the edge of Juniper Gate Thicket, the birds notice that one of the usual singing spots has gone completely silent. The quiet spreads from branch to branch, as if a missing song is making the whole forest uneasy.
