Some facts wrote: About her
Name: Valentina Vincenta il Tevere
Why would I name her this? Well, at first I decided I'd name her Vincenta. This is because I thought of paintings the instant I saw her, and when I googled a bit, I found a painting of Vincent van Gogh. I liked the painting and the name, but it wasn't a girl's name,
so I changed it to Vincenta. When I looked some better at her design, I saw her hart-like markings, which made me think of love, and thus of Valentine's Day. I think you already guessed it; I changed Valentine to Valentina.
The name 'Valentina Vincenta' sounds quite Italian to me, so when I began thinking of a backstory and last name, I wanted something Italian. 'il Tevere' means 'from the Tiber'; the Tiber is a river that flows through Rome, the story will explain why I picked that last name.
Only her family and really, really close friends can call her Valentina, she wants everyone else to call her Vincenta.
Gender: female
Although I have a lot of reasons why I named her Vincenta, I have none for her gender. She just seems a girl to me.
Lives: in Rome
Valentina lives in the beautiful and old city of Rome. She lives there because of the simple reason her parents also lived there. Her mother's family had lived in the city for ages, but her father came to live there because when he was just a small pup himself, he found a pocket watch, and began wondering and dreaming of what the city'd look like, and when he finally got there, he fell in love and never left.
Vincenta used to live next to the Tiber, but now she's made her own den in a small garden between four buildings. The garden belongs to an old lady, who doesn't notice Vincenta's there, or pretends not to. It looks like this:
She lives at the right back corner of the garden, in that small wooden hut (well, pile of wood). The house at the left belongs to Lady (that's what she calls the old woman), she thinks nobody lives in the house at the right, as it's backdoor is never used.
Some facts wrote:Family and friends
Family
Let's start at the top; Maria is one of Valentina's nonne {grandmothers}, and the only one she knows. She loves her nonna dearly, and often goes to Maria, because Valentina knows she always has something delicious to eat, a story to tell, a warm hug, and will comfort her when she's sad. Maria often tells about Carmela, her sister, or Geo, Valentina's nonno. Although she's incredibly old, Maria's still alive, and managing well. Livo and Nali are her grandparents she never knew, because they lived at the forest her father's from. Her papa, Muschio (this means moss; he quite looked like he was overgrown with moss), was a nice kiamara with a mind full of dreams and stories, which he loved to tell his children. He was chronically ill, which caused him to have a bad condition and early death. He had one sibling who he probably didn't like very much; he almost didn't talk about him/her. Venus, her mama (who was named Venus because that's the goddess of love, and she was various shades of pink with hart-like markings), was like a mama's supposed to be: sweet, kind, and great with food. Valentina still hasn't found a cook who can make "frutti di mare", her favorite dish, as good as her mama could. Another great thing about her; she wasn't afraid to say what's on her mind (and more), and could that way easily scare people that were a threat to her children away. She loved flowers, so Valentina has been surrounded by them her whole live. Her mother's death cause is unknown, one morning she just didn't wake up anymore. Valentina's oldest brother is Gino. He is a lot like his father, and Valentina especially loved to listen to his stories about a certain knight who was named Valentina like her, and her companion Gino the dragon. Sometimes he'd even draw pictures to go with the stories for her. Gino now lives in the forest their father used to live, and has a mate, who Valentina has never met. Antonello loves adventures, and the two pups used to explore the city, collect pretty stones, and steal yummy small things at the market. Toni (that's his nickname) now travels through Italy, and sometimes he visits his sister.
Friends
Everyone who she doesn't hate, is Vincenta's friend. Or at least, that's what she thinks. Some find it annoying that she sometimes randomly starts a talk with them, but most think it's cute, and she herself thinks it's fun, so it's not a problem. She doesn't have any "BFFs" though, due to the fact that when they grow older and get new interests, she'll always stay the same. It doesn't bother her though, she has plenty of nice people around to talk with.
Some facts wrote:Likes and dislikes
Hobbies: being outside, meeting (new) people, looking at art, dreaming
Vincenta loves to be outside, because there are always new things to see, new food to taste, new plants to smell, new sounds to hear, and new people, and other kiamaras of course, to meet. She loves doing that last thing because she thinks everyone has at least one interesting thing to tell or secret to keep, and she wants to know them all. Not because she wants to gather unlimited knowledge, sell secrets or do something else like that (she thinks that's just stupid and mean), but because she loves everyone who has never done (her) harm and wants to care about them, which she does by knowing the few special things about them. She loves looking at art because she thinks art, especially paintings and mosaics, is beautiful, surprising, comforting, and/or made of stories and dreams. Speaking of dreams; she loves dreaming. That is because when you dream, you can be in amazing worlds, different from this one in so many small, or big, things, you can have everything you want, whether it are friends or a golden crown inlaid with rubies, you can be the same yet different yourself... And all you have to do to accomplish that, is closing your eyes and freeing your fantasy.
Will never do this: giving up, hurting others (on purpose), leaving the city, hating
One thing about Vincenta; she'll never give up. Only once in her life she has been close to giving up, but she didn't, and she never will. She's just a pup, someone could stop her, but she won't forget what she was trying to do, and try again later. As I've already said, she cares about almost everyone, so she'd never hurt them on purpose. (Unless she hates and despises them, of course.) She can be a bit clumsy though, so when happily jumping around she might accidentally hurt someone. Vincenta will also never leave her beloved city. Not only because she likes living in Rome, but also because of her father's stories about how it's like to live outside of the city; she's scared. That she'll never hate is actually not really true. She isn't a saint or has no feelings or something alike, she loves and hates, but will not hate someone the moment she sees them. Or at least she tries not to.

She has a secret collection of things that remind her of her family: dried flowers from her mama's garden, her papa's silver pocket watch, a drawing Gino made her, and a couple of really pretty and shiny stones she collected with Antonello. She keeps them in the back of her den, on a small and colorful blanket her nonna made for her when she was born.

Lacy's Prized Possesion
Now, Lacy adores dancing. Her whole life revolves
around it, so her prized Possesion has to be her
old ballet shoes. They are extremely tattered and
worn, but she loves them so much they are on hook
in her family's den. This is what they look like.
Lacy's Favourite Childhood Song wrote:When Lacy was a very young pup, her mother used to sing this song to her. It has been passed down through generations, and each pup that is born will hear it every day.
You've got the wind blowing in your hair,
Watching the leaves floating everywhere.
With your eyes Bright, and when you're tucked up tight,
It's like a perfect melody.
You've got a sparkle in your eye,
Watching the birds fly by,
And when I'm singing this song,
I know you belong right here.
With me.
Your footsteps on the ground
Hardly make a sound,
As you walk through the trees
And pathways around us.
We're like a perfect melody.
(I might sing this and post it so you can hear how the tune goes.)
Forever and Always - A Story
The wind rustled through the trees and the early spring flowers were beginning to bloom.
Lacy groaned as she listened to her parents natter on about how she should 'respect the
fact that her name was sophisticated and lady-like.' Nothing could be more annoying
to Lacy than being called by her full first name, 'Lacella'. She downright hated it, and
nothing could turn her thoughts around. All her parents' blabbering was wasting valuable
time. Time she could be spending dancing to a symphony of violin, or laying in the tufts
of thin green grass outside. Rolling her eyes and turning over to bury her head in a pile
of leaves, Lacy managed t find a way to mute the grown-up Kia's pointless moaning. "So,
Lacella, do you agree?"
"Erm, yes mother, yes father. Now I have listened, can I finally go and dance? I'm just
itching to go and practice my new dance routine. Please?"
"Well okay, but be back by sunset Lacella." her mum told her, as she gave a discrete
smile to her talented daughter.
Lacy skipped off out the door in a mix of excitement and anger. "Lacella! She called me
Lacella! Urgh, why do I have to be cursed with such a stupid name!" When she got down
to the clearing where she nearly always danced, Lacy breathed a sigh of relief. She was
finally filled with the sensation of freedom, and it felt so good! Humming the harmony
of her favourite tune, the young Kiamara felt her talent of dance rush over her. She no
longer had to think about what she was doing.
A sort of summary of my form!
Well, first of all I would just like to say how much I actually want
to win this beautiful little girl. I love everything about her, and it
would make my life if she were to be owned by me. This is the first
Kiamara that I have really become serious about, and I have spent so
much time getting my form how I would like it to be. I have also
spent so many pets on art of her, trying to get the best quality I could.
Also, even if I do say so myself, this form is the best I have ever done.
I have worked so hard on the coding of it all, and it has actually taught
me so much. It has made me learn to be more committed, and more
imaginative.
Everything I have written in this form has been thought out on paper
beforehand, so it hasn't just been slapped down. (Even this has).
I have concentrated so hard on everything, making sure it fits together
and intertwines like a puzzle.
To put it into a short context, I would be a dedicated owner to this
wonderful girl, and she would never, ever be neglected. She will be
showered with accessories, and art, and she may even have a little
boyfriend in the future. (Obviously a PPS Kiamara, so it isn't maybe
a little unusual).

Taurus Info from astrology.com.au wrote:If you were to describe the typical Taurus temperament, you would probably use words such as "cautious", "practical" and "purposeful". One word you definitely wouldn’t use is "impulsive".
When you are making important decisions in life, decisions about things that are vital to your security and the welfare of those you love, you spend a long time on them. You want those decisions to be rock solid.
Once your mind is made up, you have amazing persistence and follow through, plus tons of energy — you rarely give up on a task once you have decided on it. And you’ll stick to your guns, even if you’re being provoked, tempted or ridiculed. This will be a blessing at some times and a curse at others.
Sometimes this ability to hang in there can turn into pride and obstinacy. At other times you refuse to accept another opinion or suggestion, even though the advice is reasonable and the person offering it has nothing but good intentions. What if the person is right?
Those who love you and offer you constructive criticism don’t mean to hurt you — they have your best interests at heart — and what they offer can be useful to you. Try to remember that.
If you look inside yourself, you’ll see that sometimes the reason you hold on to your position or opinion so fiercely is that you fear change. Because you take such pride in your ability to see things through to the end, people who try to meddle with what you have set out to do, or change the rules of the game, are likely to hear from you, loud and clear. You really, really want to finish what you start.
Also, people will not have much success if they try to push something onto you and leave you no room to control your destiny. Then the bull in you really starts to make itself heard and felt.
On the other side of the coin, you also like to take it easy. This goes back to liking to leave things as they are. You may need to keep an eye on this — complacency and apathy are down the end of that path.
Change is the only constant in life and you may need to remind yourself of this every now and then; trying to resist all change leads only to stress and dissatisfaction with your life and relationships.
You also have a great love affair with the finer things in life. If you could find a servant to help with all the boring jobs you hate, you could live the luxurious life you dream of!
You are a great mate. When you agree to help someone, you go to any lengths to keep your word. You’ll never let yourself or others down. You are extremely dependable.
You’re also exceptionally sensitive and very patient. You’re prepared to wait as long as it takes for the right moment to act and you seize the opportunity when it wanders anywhere near you. Patience is one of your greatest virtues and it usually pays off.
Having honorable intentions, plus your patience and perseverance, are what others see as your finest — and most recognizable — character traits.
Your one-track mind about doing a job right— either at work or at home — has a good and a bad side. It means you’re very focused on what you’re doing, which is good but it also means you drive people crazy by showing them the ‘correct way’ to do things. Your family may not appreciate lessons in how to clean and stack the dishes or drive the car!
Actually, simplicity is what appeals to you — you can’t stand pompousness and look-at-me behavior. You know that beauty is not about what you wear or what hairstyle you have.
You enjoy getting your hands dirty with gardening, practical hobbies and odd jobs around the home. Hard work does not scare you in the least.
Taurus is a touchy-feely sign, which means you rely on your feelings rather than your mind when you try to understand your experiences.
You trust your own intuition about others — and you are usually right. However, you have terrific reasoning skills as well, so don’t dismiss your sensible nature; balancing these two sides of yourself will increase your success in life.
If you are a Taurean born between 20 April and 29 April you are under the double influence of Venus. You are sensual, loving and destined to be lucky in love. Try to curb your appetite to have the biggest and best of everything however. Learning the art of contentment is one of your main life lessons.
Born between 30 April and 10 May? Well Taurus, I see you have a very active mind are sometimes overly critical of yourself and others. Rely on your intuitive feelings rather than analyzing every detail. This will bring you far more happiness in your life.
As a Taurean born between 11 May and 21 May you are prone to a more serious financial attitude in life. You like the idea of being practical and saving for a rainy day. That's fine but don't forget to enjoy the fruits of your labor. Your financial sense is very strong and is one of your best assets.

Marianne-Elise’s Past wrote:{ told in third person view }
The cloth felt warm against her as she carried the little bundle of blankets along the wet, dark streets. It was late at night – perhaps one in the morning – and she was already growing tired from having run so far in such a short period of time.
She paused quietly, trying to catch her breath as she peered inside the blankets, a small, teal and purple babe looking up at her with wide, pale eyes. The infant giggled, pawing at her mother’s snout and gurgling happily.
The anthropomorphic Kiamara felt a small twinge in her heart, leaning forward and kissing her child gently on the forehead before she heard the familiar scraping of paws against the sidewalk. Quick as a flash, she hid in the shadows, cradling her young close to her chest as she watched with narrow eyes as an older, male Kiamara walked past, his mind seemingly set on something. His fur was white with brown swirls and splotches, and his eyes, blue as the late morning sky.
She knew something had to be done, and something had to be done fast. Without so much as a second thought, the mother placed her cooing daughter down, and, after kissing her goodbye quickly, darted off behind a dumpster in the alleyway, watching to see what would happen to her child.
___________________________________
Santonio hurried along the streets, pulling his jacket close to him. Was Jay going to be alright? She had been pregnant for almost nine months, now…
Every day, this was a constant battle raging in his mind. He always wondered what would happen if his wife wasn’t alright, what if—
A shrieking cry snapped him out of his thoughts. Santonio glanced around wildly, wondering where the cries were coming from, when out of the corner of his eye he spotted something wriggling in a little pink blanket.
He slowly walked over, kneeling down and gripping his umbrella a bit tighter. Flipping the blanket over, the male Kia gave a little gasp of surprise.
It was a baby.
She couldn’t have been any older than eight months, and had the widest, palest yellow eyes he had ever seen. The blanket was clutched in between her tiny, paw-like fingers and a corner of it was in her mouth. She suckled on it sweetly, trying to stop the sobs racking her body, when she looked up to Santonio.
Immediately the babe’s wails ceased and she gave a happy little squeal, reaching up towards him. Shifting the umbrella to one hand, Santonio lifted up the small infant and cradled her in his arms. He cooed gentle words of comfort to her, rocking her back and forth, back and forth as he tried to assess the situation.
“There there, little one, it’s okay, it’s alright…” he whispered, glancing around nervously. Where was this little girl’s mother? And why would anyone leave their baby out in the cold? She could have caught a sickness or something! Or maybe even –
A little sneeze interrupted his thoughts. He looked down to the babe and saw her sniffling, eyes starting to water. Immediately his orbs of cerulean widened and he shushed her quietly, bouncing her slightly.
He knew it instantly after that one moment. This was his new daughter.
