One of the most interesting characters to write so far has been the box turtle, Elder Veil. He is the leader of Torzeria, the Holy Place where the male turtles who are in line to become Elder reside.
His shell is plastered with ornately carved designs, each filled with a vibrant color according to its shape. Some of the turtles who reside with him in Torzeria have sat still for so long that moss and mushrooms have sprouted on their shells.
Elder Veil tends to make others nervous. He is rather wise, and he speaks of things that almost make sense, but not quite. Some things he says don't make any sense at all, not to anyone outside of Torzeria at any rate. Without a doubt, it is obvious that Elder Veil knows things that any normal animal should not. He sometimes knows what is about to happen or what path someone should take. He even has urges to start on a journey himself, often before knowing his destination.
Though he is considered odd and a little intimidating, he is respected far and wide and often sought out for advice or help. One would not think that a turtle could do much, but Elder Veil can accomplish more than you know.
But, as with all wise creatures, he holds secrets known to only a few, secrets that pain him. Secrets that may one day reveal themselves...
