Bash Dixie

"'I want to go- I want to go home! It's quiet at home; the woods are green, the birds sing, and my family stays by my side. I was trying to tell you, Toby...'"

Past
Bash's parents, American Hillbillies living in the deep south, decided to move to England to escape stigma but didn’t go about it entirely legally. They let their visas expire and were living as illegal immigrants. They lived out in a very rural area of Northern England- hence the Geordie accents their children developed. Their parents lived out in the country and had Ferdinand, and then twins: Bash and Dash. Because they'd all been born at home, they weren't registered anywhere either.

Unfortunately, their parents were eventually found out and the entire family was forced to leave the country. Bash and her sister had been visiting Ferdinand on Misty Island at the time and stayed with him.

Present
Bash lives on Misty Island with Dash and Ferdinand. The three efficiently live off the land but to buy essentials they don’t have or can’t make, they go to Sodor by rowboat and sell wood carvings, preserved jam, produce if they have enough to spare, and similar. They can occasionally be seen around Sodor, usually Brendam, but for the most part they're practically cryptids.

Personality
Bash doesn't like to be away from home for very long and gets homesick very easily.

Interests
Bash likes to grow flowers but until Ferdinand got her new seeds and bulbs, she could only grow wildflowers that were already present on Misty Island. When the flowers were done blooming and had dry seeds she would go around collecting them to plant around their cabin.
