~Dormouse~
I stared around shyly, not really sure what to say to the rest of the group. I looked at my tag again. Seven...What could it mean? It's very curious. This place is familiar but not. Should I go this way or that? Longways or shortways, up? Down? Left? Right? I sighed and walked back to the table and poured myself more tea.
"Wait! It might be poisoned!" The woman said quickly.
"..Poisoned?" I asked in my quivering voice. "Why would it be poisoned? It's..It's just tea."
"Well...You fell asleep afterwards."
I yawned. "I am simply sleepy. Nap, nap, nap..." I trailed up and swallowed the contents of my teacup in one gulp. "But now we have to run, run, run..." I idly reached into my pocket and pulled out a book.
It looked rather old, and it said 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland' on the cover. I opened it up and walked a ways away from the group quickly scanning through the pages, and I sang quietly. A song that I just seemed to know the words to.
"Alice, in Wonderland...How do you get to Wonderland, over the hills or underland. Or just behind a tree?
"Hey Mousy! Try projecting your voice, I can't hear ya!" I heard the cat man call out.
I froze. "Oh dear, was I singing out loud?"
The cat man laughed. "Yep? you British Mousy!"
I quieted down and looked back to my book. "It's Dormouse." I went more quiet. "Call me Dormouse..." I pointed to him and looked back to my book. "You're Cheshire Cat...She's the Mad Hatter...March Hare. We need Alice, the White Rabbit, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum...The Caterpillar..."
"What are you going on about?" March Hare asked staring.
I stared and stood closer to a tree. "The book. There must be others..." I looked down again. "So...We have to go...That way." I pointed to the right with my left hand and to the left with my right hand.
"Okay, that's great kid...But you're pointing to different ways and I don't want to be beheaded by just standing around." The Mad Hattress said.
I stood silently looking down at my book, my face going red. I walked up to the table to gaze at a lone plate of cookies that all proclaimed 'Eat Me'
I picked one up and took a bite.

So...I guess you guys can decide if he grows or shrinks. Eiri (Yaoilover) and I decided that Dormouse shall be kinda the one who gets everything and explains everything about Wonderland at first being rather smart. He's gonna be quiet but acting like this is all normal. Singing along with flowers and playing with the Bread 'n Butterflies...
I'm mixing Alice's Adventures in Wonderland and the Disney movie too, if that's okay.
And yes, he's British. I decided to give him a posh accent too XD
