These pets are my favourite ones of all time, hoard pets excluded.
I only post a pet which I really, really love (colour, markings whatever) here. :3
The diamonds of my collection so to speak.

I could never afford to hoard this beauty, but good thing that we got a bunny version of it! ♥

The bunny was good for another reason...
We can't really see the marking on the BWs' leg! D=

HOLLYFOXES! ♥

Goodness, I LOVE red foxes and this design is just d'awww. ^_^ I'm glad we got so many hollyfox pets!

I adore the tiny wings! <3 We've had several pets now with wings, but most of them aren't my cup of tea. For example this dog here or this one. I just don't prefer those wing types.

But the Winged Wood Angel and Angel Advent are just right. Tiny, cute, adorable and well drawn. ♥

When I first joined CS, this dog was already one of my minor dream pets. Well, not really a dream pet at all, but a "I really really really would like to own one in the future"-pet. I adore the colour and it has a moon on it's shoulder. D'aww. :3

I'm usually not that fond of heterochromia, but on this dog it's quite okay.

Well, what can I say. The colours are beautiful, I adore its face (light where the eyes are, otherwise dark) and the tiny dots are adorable.

I only like the CE Galaxy, not his littermate though. ;D
Even though I love the swirls on the BE Galaxy, I just don't like such dark eyes.

And we even got him as a PPS Nick rat, how cute ^_^

Isn't he cute?! It was one of my first litters that I adopted and even though I managed to trade for quite some extras back then, I never got this outcome. T_T

I loved him from the start, I just had to get him! I'm not at all interested in all of his littermates, but this one... aww ;w;

And the Wolf PPS all over again... imagine you hunting for the Wolf PPS, trading for extras after extras and the very next month it happens again. You miss your favourite and have so many other colours left. I literally swore my ass off over a bunch of colourful pixels.

I don't always adore rainbow designs, it depends on the brightness and how good the colours blend, how the pets overall picture looks like. Heh, I don't like this litter at all for some reason. But the RBM was just right and she is a horse! I only joined CS, because we could adopt horses and bunnies ^_^

DRAGONSSS.

I'm so sad we won't get anymore Malk dragons. Even the Tess dragons are scarce, but they're only Asian dragons after all. *sigh*

I'd have liked to get a black Malk dragon. My user name comes from a famous series, "Temeraire". But alas, it never happened. At least we have a red one, I can imagine it being Iskierka. ;w;

A bonus is also the deep shade of red that was used.
I dislike bright red.

Oh my, cute leetle rats next! :3

I always adored them, but sadly just like the horses/ponies, they don't get many great designs... ^^;

I often think that someone did a rushed last-minute idea just because there is a need for next months' rat litter. *sigh*
(And, please, I don't talk about the drawing itself, but the idea ^^; The rats are often or almost ever well drawn!)

That's why I'm always so happy when we get rat designs that are absolutely smashing, like these six.

The colours remind me of the Dark Pink Shima BW <3
It's also more purple than pink, so I'm in heaven.

And the lines are gorgeous!
I'm very, very sad that we definitely won't get more bettas (and kois). D=

After a while I noticed that I enjoyed adopting the 2nd/3rd Gen Pets more than other litters.
It was interesting to see how the parents' colours and markings mixed and complimented each other
and of course I tried to not only get every child, but also their parents!

Any parents with archive pictures are ones I don't own.

Sometimes, I adore a pet very much or the markings/colours are just right, so that I try to imagine a background store for it. It happened quite a few times and now I'm trying to write down my thoughts so that I won't forget. ^_^;

Beware: so far, none of them has any names. I usually refer to their position
(i.e. "The Captain", "Navigator", "he" or "she")

The old Captain of the ship.

He is too stubborn to admit that he should retire and choose a new Captain. Partly, because he's insecure about who should be his successor. He would choose his stepdaughter right away, if she were a boy. But he doesn't think she could handle a whole crew yet without anybody by her side.

He's very short-tempered and should look after his own health, but instead drinks ale, shouts with his crew members and enjoys the company of beautiful women. He's lucky if his stepdaughter doesn't find out...

His adopted daughter, who'd make a great Captain.

She tries to do her best and is very straightforward. But because she's a female, the Captain refuses to make her his successor. Yet.
Quite a few crew members would like to be with her, but nobody has tried anything, because of the Captain. They're loyal and fear him after all.

They fear her quite a bit too, after they've witnessed her fight or how she reacts if she finds out where the crew members (Captain included) went while they were on land.

His parents were crew members for years, but both died when he was still very young. His father got injured in a fight and before he was fully healed there was a storm. His mother was trying to help navigate the ship, but fell over the railing. He tried to grab her, but didn't have enough strength left... they were never seen again.

Thus, he was raised by all the other members. He was taught some manners from the captains stepdaughter, but since she's the only female, well. Let's just say it was useless. But he's like a little brother to her and she dotes on him.

He also has a knack for repairing anything.

One of the newest crew members is the navigator. They never really had a professional one for the job, so they were quite lucky to get their hands on him.

He's a bit shy though, having been mistreated for a few years, because he doesn't like women. He was rescued by her in a stormy night, but was a bit reluctant if he should trust the crew at all. Finally, he got used to his new life and even achieved many compliments for taming the Captains bird. Which he actually didn't, the hen just doesn't like smelly men (Captain totally included).

He thinks poorly of himself and often blushes when others speak about him. Eventually he learns how to be stronger, but that still doesn't help with one certain ex-Captain.

He's a flirtatious ex-Captain, but he gave up his ship a while ago due to some circumstances which he refuses to talk about. Joined the crew a few months after the navigator.

Before he met the Captain, he was just drinking alcohol and enjoying the day, with a woman in each arm. Since the crew was searching for an experienced seamen, he was a perfect match.

But nowadays he's developed a certain habit to tease the navigator until he blushes, which - frankly speaking - is quite easy. It is really just friendly teasing and someday he might realise just how much he himself fell in love.

A quiet and serious man, he doesn't speak much, not even when spoken to. (But please, he's not emo in any way ;3) He's always wearing a scarf to hide the birthmark on his neck (he's a prince, though only the third in line) and an amulet.

They met him in India after a bad storm when they needed to repair their ship. He helped without asking for money, just a place to sleep and some food. As for now, he is just a normal crew member, helping out here and there.

He'll eventually fall in love with the Captain's daughter, but it takes a bit longer for him to realise it. She is the one who falls first.

The poor, homeless guy. His mother died soon after giving birth and thus he can't even remember her. He also doesn't know what it's like to live a normal life. Recently, he fell in love with the princess, though he knows that it's pointless to adore her. But he can't help his feelings, every time he hears her voice or sees her, his heart is throbbing.

He was so nervous when he was standing in front of her that he couldn't say a single word. He just handed over the little, white bird to her and as his fingers touched hers, his cheeks were deep red.

The beautiful princess, though she doesn't like to be called like that at all. Neither princess nor beautiful. Her biggest wish is to fall in love with a decent guy - nothing like the noble, snobbish men who're being introduced to her.

What nobody knows is that she recently has somebody in mind. Somebody, who's rescued one of her birds a while ago. She met him at the river under the willow, while she was out in disguise. He looked quite poor, but she wants to meet him again.

After much drama and intrigues they'll finally have their Happy End.
He'll live as a prince with her, though remains humble and courteous.

The King and his Queen definitely have to change their opinions and views quite a bit... public feasts and helping the poor people in their kingdom is something they still can't believe.

Alejandro van Carias, a noble man.
His father - the Earl - is quite ill and bedridden, he doesn't remember a thing and is so weak that he could die any day. His mother died years ago, he's an only child.

Thus, Alejandro has been the master of the house and lands for a long time now.

He's alone - with nobody by his side.
But he chose it himself, because being cursed by a cruel witch isn't a happy occasion.

Every now and then he has to repair one of his own body parts in a very cruel way. Always a different one. His blood has turned green due to the curse - he can't let anybody know about it. It is like poison, destroying him from inside and only him. It is like normal blood to anybody else except the colour.
It doesn't change his appearance though, you can't see it's green until you actually see it.

The society is very conservative and he couldn't live in peace anymore if they found out.
Imagine an Earl visiting distant family or neighbours and killing them at night?
It just doesn't happen. Nope.

But recently, he has found someone who knows how hard it is to be cursed...

Lejandro or Lej how he's usually called by this certain someone plays the violin.
He's got a fiancé, but almost never meets her, because she lives far away.
It was arranged, so there is no love between them,
just mutual understanding that they really don't want to marry each other.
It was also kept secret from the society, so nobody knows this.
Many, many, many young women want to marry him (if not for his looks, then for his wealth),
but since his father fell ill nobody dared to ask about a potential marriage.

Too bad that I don't have a pet who can be his partner. I'm still searching... ^^;
Alejandro is my roleplay character, his partner is my friends' character.

My redheaded wanderer. Fun-loving and carefree.

The spirit of Valentine, who cares deeply about any kind of love and supports all who're heartbroken.

A winter fae, very cheeky.

He loves the sun, he loves surfing and he is a complete playboy.

The spirit of Halloween, who likes to scare people and share interesting, spooky stories.
Of course she can also see all creatures of the darkness, so her best friends are actually shadows.
Who may or may not have been alive once...

The spirit of Christmas, who likes to bring joy and shares contentment to everyone.

Mh, I don't celebrate Hanukkah, but somehow I really like it. :3

Always collecting more coins, stacks and piles for him.

He just loves his candles. ♥

She's an apprentice at the lokal shrine, but her real dream is to be totally independent and take the catwalk.
