Jowy is a very tiny boy, only 2 inches tall - dwarfed by most larger bugs and insects. He's part of the Murkwater tribe, a tribe of burrowers. Burrowers (not to be confused with their larger, tailed cousins, the Borrowers) are a race of very tiny people who use magical talents and ingenuity to survive in a massive world. Their society functions in a fantasy-esque age of wonder and whimsy - even as the modern world goes on around their tiny lives without them knowing.

Physically, Jowy is a short boy even for a burrower, and has a skinny-fit frame. Overall a pretty, cute, but unintimidating figure at any size. He has tanned skin, dull brown eyes, and brown tribal tattoos beneath his eyes and on his arms. His hair is brown, spiky, and usually messy - but he has two long thick braids, which mark him as a fledgling in his tribe.

Born an orphan, Jowy has always had something of a chip on his shoulder. Constantly trying to prove himself to his tribe, especially his older brother Nowe, Jowy often finds himself getting into trouble. His people live in a village situated in a bush, below a small swampy area - which looks like a massive lake to them. Beyond that, there's the forest. To a burrower, its almost impossible to cross...but tales tell of concrete and strange metal contraptions that lie beyond.

Jowy is a brash boy who's eager to do his best, but not beyond listening to the wisdom of his elders. He shows great respect to those who are stronger or more experienced than him, and tries his best to learn from them. His biggest flaw is his impatience. He longs to prove himself by going on a great expedition, like his parents did before their deaths. Despite his outgoing personality, Jowy is quite polite, sociable, and friendly to new people.

Jowy also has a pet stinkbug. He's named it 'Nowe Jr' to annoy his older brother.

A people of mysticism and hard work, the burrowers are capable of incredible magical feats such as forcefields, conjurations, magical attacks, and even flight. Jowy has a...promising amount of magical talent, but lacks discipline and struggles with even the most basic of spells. His real skills lie not in strength or magic, but in his agility. Although, that's hardly a unique trait within his tribe - most of the Murkwater clan can jump many times their diminiative height.

There's one thing burrowers are scared of: Giants. Giants, of course, are just normal human beings...but to burrowers, they are enigmatic and often destructive creatures that are considered an omen of the Gods.
