NEW ART Ksenia, The Rabbit by *direwolf505

Artist commentary

Hey y'all,

First rabbit character I ever came up with. The unexpected result of a bit of genetic experimentation on plant life, and a test-lab bunny, with a tendency to escape her cage . . .

She was found in the basement of the Ag Sciences Building, at the University, by a young recent graduate, who had decided to continue as a professor. Upon checking the basement, for the rabbit who kept escaping, he found her.

Sort of.

She was now a little under 5 feet tall minus ears, and rather . . . Well.

He decided that this was not going to end well, if he let the others in the lab find her, and smuggled her out in the middle of the night, to his home.
He learned of her severe allergy to sunlight the hard way, and after that, she preferred to stay in the basement, only venturing out to eat from his greenhouse, after dark.
He studied her, and found her front teeth had changed, becoming longer, thinner, and sharper. Very similar to fangs, in fact. He observed her eating, and saw she didn't chew, or nibble. She bit, and drank the juices. He found she'd accept vegetable juice with gusto.

He put it all together . . .

After several months, he had successfully taught her to a grade-school level of basics, and she was learning on her own, as well.
His co-workers thought it odd, that he no longer joined them, for drinks, or partying, just spending his free time at home . . .

Well, folks, meet Ksenia, the vegetarian vampire rabbit.

She's fun-loving, and very cute. Loves movies, TV, video games, and reading.
Loves vegetables, and veggie juice.
Not a big fan of the sun, as it can kill her.

Concept borrowed from Howe's 'Bunnicula' series.

Name by Osiris.

      Yup. Came up with the idea while rereading Bunnicula for the Goddess-alone-knows-th time.
