Fablehaven Characters With Pets

Fablehaven Characters with Pets

Credit to @fairykam who originally drew this idea- I edited it slightly :)

-Tanu with a ferret

-Seth with an Irish Setter

-Vanessa with a Parrot, and a shared Corgi with Warren

-Warren with either a picture of himself, or a shared Corgi with Vanessa

-Kendra with a Cat

-Dale with a Dog- Irish Wolfhound maybe?

-Bracken with a Cat, and maybe a Horse, too. (I just have this image of a stray horse coming up and adopting him.)

-Newel and Doren with a goat, because why not :)

Fablehaven Characters’ Favourite Animals

Hellooooo! Yes, I am obsessed with animals and Fablehaven in equal parts. Hope you like this one!

-Grandma Sorenson is in a love/hate relationship with chickens

-Dale loves Pica, Capybara, and Jerboa equally. He’s just a rodent person

-Bracken obviously adores horses

-So does Kendra, but she prefers cats

-Vanessa is a Corgi person. I will not accept anything else :)

-Warren’s favourite animal is either a Corgi, because anything Vanessa likes he automatically likes too, or himself. He’s leaning towards himself, though...

Bracken and Verl Meeting

Hi everyone! Sadly, I cannot write as well as Bandon Mull, so it will be in my own writing style. If anyone has any ideas on what I should do next, please say so! I love listening to them. This one is a credit to @candlemouse!

Kendra was reading on the porch while Bracken collected sandwiches from Grandma and Vanessa, who had decided that a picnic was non-negotiable. As the tall unicorn came out, struggling to carry a basket filled with food and a stereotypical blanket, she laughed at how flustered he looked.

“I had to listen to the two of them talking about us the entire time!” he complained. “Apparently they forgot unicorns can hear better than humans.”

“But you’re in a human form. Wouldn’t you be the same as one of us?”

“No. I merely appear like a person. It doesn’t mean I am one.”

“Oh. But how does that work then?”

“Powerful magic and illusions, mostly.” 

The conversation carried them all the way to outside the Naiad’s lake, and Kendra was relieved to see that Bracken seemed to have forgotten his earlier embarrassment. As the two walked through the entrance, they were greeted by Satyrs running around wildly, shouting as they played a game of tackle tag.

“Kendra!” a voice called. She groaned, frantically trying to tell Bracken to turn around and go back to the house, while he looked down at her, confused.

“But we just got here?” 

“Yes, I know, but we should leave now!” she finished speaking just as Verl arrived, and, ignoring Bracken completely, he proceeded to bend down and kiss Kendra’s hand, not noticing how quickly she wiped it on her jeans, or how awkward Bracken looked.

“Ah, my beautiful fair maiden! How glorious it is to see you again! I am afraid that I did not know you were coming today, or I would have brought you another token of my love to you!” By the time the Satyr have finished speaking, Bracken was looking incredibly uncomfortable, and Kendra was trying hard not to die of embarrassment.

“Umm... yeah. Great. Nice to see you too, Verl. Er, we were just... leaving now... so, if you could please excuse us?” 

“Oh, but why would you go now? You just got here! Come, I am certain that the others would allow me to leave the game to spend time with a maiden as lovely as you.” Bracken was looking more and more awkward with each word, and as he shifted slightly, Verl seemed to notice him for the first time.

“Oh. Yes. Hello. My name is Verl. Who are you?” The tone of voice dropped by about ten degrees. Bracken, face scarlet with embarrassment, looked about ready to die.

“I’m Bracken. Kendra and I were going on a picnic together.” He seemed to regret the words almost immediately.

“I see.” Another twenty degrees dropped from Verl’s tone.

“Er, yes, come on now Bracken! Um... I think Grandpa wanted us to check on Nero!” Kendra was almost as red as Bracken.

“Yes! Nero! Bye Verl. Nice seeing you?” The two of them rushed away from the pond, leaving before Verl had time to figure out what had happened.

“Sorry about that. Verl doesn’t seem to get the hint that I don’t like him back at all. He even carved me a statue!” Kendra groaned.

“Don’t worry. Before I got captured, this Hamadryad was practically handing off my arm. I was about ready to cut her tree down.” Kendra laughed, and as they walked, the embarrassment seemed to slowly fade away.

Eventually, they ate their sandwiched on top of Nero’s cliff, laughing together, Verl completely forgotten.

Fablehaven Head canons

(Yes, I know that I have done a lot- maybe I’ll try and write a Fanfic next)

-Bracken isn’t tone deaf, but he isn’t a good singer either. Same with Seth!

-Kendra is edging towards the ‘good singer’ side of things though :)

-Seth is totally a dog person, but Kendra loves cats

-Scott is allergic to both, so they never had either until Fablehaven

-I know this isn’t a head canon, but remember the salt in book 1?

Tess’s Birthday

SET BEFORE DRAGONWATCH

I had this idea randomly, and even though she can’t and I don’t think that it would be a good idea for her, just imagine that Kendra can turn other people into animals. This once. For the story to work. :)

‘Absolutely not.’

‘Please Bracken! Just this once?’

‘No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no. It is embarrassing, humiliating, improper, and there is no way known I will do it!’

Kendra looked up at Bracken pleadingly, pulling the puppy dog eyes card.

‘It’s only for an hour!

‘Whyyyy Kendra? I am an actual Unicorn. Can’t you just tell her that and not have me do something stupid?’ He was being silly, putting it off, and they both knew it. Eventually he caved. ‘Fine.’

Kendra squealed in excitement.

Half an hour later, an extremely grumpy white pony with a sparkly fake unicorn horn was being led to the house to show Grandma and Grandpa. And if Seth, Vanessa, Dale and Warren were there for a conference too, that was just an added bonus.

When they saw Bracken, everyone burst out laughing. Vanessa even took a photo for blackmail, grinning madly as she did. Kendra was doubled over laughing, before she finally turned Bracken back into human form, and everyone piled into the car to go to Tess’s birthday party.

Their younger cousin’s house was decorated with fairy lights, and covered in pink fairy decorations. After Bracken had gotten out of the car, he and Kendra walked around the back, where Kendra turned him back into a pony, redecorated him, and walked over to the birthday girl alone.

‘Kendra!’

‘Hey, Tess! I can’t believe that you’re turning nine already! We have a surprise for you.’ The little girl jumped up and down, holding Kendra’s hands, and followed her to where Bracken was.

The shriek of excitement that followed was ear-shattering.

‘PONY! A UNICORN PONY!’

‘He belongs to one of our... friends. But we asked if we could borrow him for today for you. His name is Bracken.’ Tess rushed over to him, and squeezed his neck tightly, almost toppling him over.

Bracken shot Kendra a pleading look, where she returned it with a glare, mouthing out that if he had better behave or he was dead. He sighed, and gently butted Tess, simultaneously making her give him some space, and making her happier, squealing that the ‘Unicorn had hugged her back.’

By the end of the party, Tess had barely left Bracken’s side. She had even managed to persuade her parents to let her lead him around the garden, on the deck where the celebrations were. She had become so attached, that she cried when they had to go, so Kendra reassured Tess that they’d try and visit with Bracken again soon, to which the girl immediately brightened up.

‘So. Was that really so bad?’ Kendra asked. Bracken sighed.

‘No, it wasn’t.’ he admitted.

The rest of the drive home, Kendra was wearing an extremely satisfied smile.
