..::Why I Want This Goennec::..
She's absolutely perfect. When I first looked at the list, it was Pen 15 that caught my eye, but after running through the list a few times throughout the week, I couldn't help stopping to take a peek at this pretty little lady each time I went through the list :3 She's just so unique! I don't believe I've ever seen a Goennec with that sort of tail before, and while I'm not usually a fan of the shorter manes, it's very fitting on her <3
And of course, those colours <3 Those eyes are such a brilliant shade of blue! And the blue matches perfectly with her orange markings C: It really just seems to tie everything together ^^ Also, I've always been someone who prefers a natural base colour with some unnatural tinges of color here and there :3 It adds some sort of pop to the design, a certain something special <3
I've been trying to obtain my first Goennec for awhile now, with Quiver, Hikari (Two times) and countless others before the long hiatus. It would be so, so amazing if Lily was my chance to call a Goennec my own. <3 She's stunning, and I think I've finally gotten a good, steady personality that really shows who she is and who she wants to be C: She's more developed, I think, and the characters that I can create really developed personalities and backgrounds for are always the ones that catch my attention ^^
She clicked with my tastes perfectly ^^ I've been wanting a knew character who looks sweet and fragile, but who really has a fiery tongue, and when I saw her, I knew she'd be absolutely perfect for the role :3 It just feels right this time... Like this is the one <3 She's gorgeous, she clicks, and I'll do everything I can to have the chance to call her mine <33
..::How I Would Use This Goennec::..
If won, Lily will be spoiled, I assure you. x3 She'll have her own spot in the character thread I'll be making soon, alonside my other main characters such as Falon, Riley, and Isaiah. I wouldn't torture her by drawing art of her myself, since I'm obviously no artist, but I most definitely would get plenty of art of her from much more talented artists than I. ^^ And of course, I would flaunt that lovely art of her in the Goennec Fanclub, no doubt <3 I'm not much of an RPer anymore, as I've lost most of my taste for it, but I would like to check out the Goey RP, if its still alive. I might be able to scrounge up some muse to put her in there. ^^ You'd also definitely see her appear in short stories, or in the histories of other characters or goeys that I try out for, because I tend to use other character of mine a lot when writing forms. ^^ All in all, she most definitely would not be put to waste x3 She'd be in good hands, I assure you that. <3
..::Define your Goennec::..
..::Personality::..
Agile~ While Lily isn't the strongest ewe of the herd, she is quick and agile on her paws and hooves, giving her an atvantage over those who are larger and have more trouble moving quickly. She has strength on her mind and heart, while her agility aids her to fight as well as she does.
Witty, Sarcastic~ No snide remark goes by unnoticed with Lily, and she tends to have a fiery tongue when it comes to these remarks. She is not one to be crossed.
Determined~ Lily will stop at nothing to become a Soldier. This was what her mother had been, and what she'd died for, and Lily is determined to take her place, in memory of her. She will stop at nothing; it's her dream, what connects her to her mother.
Easily Angered~ Lily is naturally extremely kind, but has lived with taunting from the male kids ever since she began joining in on their 'playfights', and throughout the time, she's hardened. A single word sets her nerves on fire, bringing out her sarcasm and sharp tongue. Most have learned to keep their mouths shut, but some Goennecs still find the nerve to throw in their comments here and there, setting Lily's anger sky high.
Bright~ Despite her rather sarcastic attitude and tendency to get angry with the males, she's a cheery ewe with a big heart who's almost always wearing a smile. She has her mothers heart, her Grandfather always said.
Positive~ It takes quite a bit to knock Lilys spirits down. She believes that if she sets her mind to it, the posibilites of what she can do in life are endless. When she wants something, she goes for it, and in her mind there's no room for discouraged thoughts.

..::History::..
"Play nice now, Lilypad. Don't beat those males up too bad." Myko winked at his grand-daughter, chuckling softly. Lily gave a cheeky grin, giggling as she waved goodbye with her tail and hurried off to join the Kids and young Peasants and Soldiers by the large oak tree that they often occupied during the warm summer days.
Lily watched a few of the Kids fight for awhile, cheering them on alongside her friend Penny. Upon hearing pawsteps from behind them, she pricked her ears. "Hey there little Lillith, back for more?" Came the taunting voice that was like nails on a chalkboard to her ears. Nuro, the Princes son, all high and mighty on his invisible throne as he padded over to the little crowd.
"Oh joy, our Majesty's decided to get off his high horse and come socialize with the commoners, eh? I feel so honored." She rolled her bright blue eyes, turning away from him. Penny, along with some of the other Kids, snickered slightly, while Nuro shot them a dirty look. He scowled, shoving her aside.
"Wrong move, pretty boy." Lily growled before kicking out his front paws from under him. He yipped in surprise as he hit the ground, quickly rolling to the side and bouncing back up to face her with eyes like daggers. Growling, he lunged forward, locking his paws around her, cutting her behind the ear slightly. She slipped away easily, as he was not used to fighting with Goennecs of such a slender build and didn't have the right grip on her. Lily whipped back around, sliding under him as he jumped for her again. She kicked at his stomach leaving him staggering slightly as he hit the ground.
Eyes narrowed, she lunged forward to go at it again, only to find her path blocked by the familiar pelt of her friend, Penny. "Lil, just drop it. This already went to far." she remarked, eyeing the blood that trickled down Lilys ear. "Just let it go, before the Prime comes around. He isn't worth this, you know that." Penny gave her a smile, leading her away slightly. She'd always been the smarter one, older than Lily and more experienced in life. With these thoughts, Lily backed away further, giving in to her friends kind wide eyes.
"Giving up so soon? Come over here and fight like a man, or are you too scared to get a couple scars?" Nuro taunted, earning an echo of snickers from a few of the other Kids. A lopsided smirk of triumphance was set on his face as he stared back at Lily.
Lily huffed, a bitter laugh escaping her lips. "I'm a girl, if you didn't catch on to that already. Theres sort of a reason I don't fight like a man, you idiot. Grow up and get a few IQ points."
~O~
"Grandpa, it's been a really long day. Can you tell me a story? Please?" The young Goennec pleaded, looking up at Myko with her big round eyes. He chuckled, gesturing for her to lay down in her little sleeping area.
"You know what, I think I'll tell you an extra special one tonight, Lily. You're getting older now, starting to show signs of a real Soldier. Your mother would have been very proud of you." He smiled, flicking her ear affectionatly with his tail.
Lilys smile slowly faded to confusion. This didn't seem to be a special story; she heard stories about her mother all the time. Her mothers name had been Tikara, and she'd been one of the only two female Soldiers of the herd, at the time. Tikara was the reason that Lilys dream was to be a Soldier, to honor her memory.
"Tonight, I've decided to tell you how your mother died. I hear you at night, Lily, whispering to the sky in hopes that she'd hear you. It's wrong of me to keep the reason of her death a secret from you." Myko explained quietly, stroking her tiny neck softly with his tail. Lily looked up at him in awe, recieving a smile in return as he settled down beside her.
"Your mother was an amazing Soldier, Lily, but she also had an amazing soul. She was tough, quick, and kindhearted; she was one of the good ones, the ones that don't deserve to have lives cut short. But a fight broke out when a nearby herds territory got destroyed by a forest fire, and they wanted to take our land. Your mother was fighting a young male, and she had him pinned in the perfect position to give him a hard kick, maybe even hard enough to scare him off the fight. He seemed petrified, probably his first real battle, and he pleaded for mercy. Your mother may have been tough, but she had too big of a heart to hurt someone who would beg at her paws for forgiveness, so she let go. He ran for it just after another Goennec pinned her from behind. He saw that Goennec and didn't even have the decency to warn her, even though he owed her his life. That Goennec who came up behind her killed her, and she died because of her huge heart. I guess it's true what they say, 'only the good die young'."
He continued to stroke his Grand-daughter with his long tail, expecting Lily to be horrified by the story, but the look of astonishement never left her face as she turned to face him. "My momma was like a hero, then?" She asked, tilting her head slightly.
Myko smiled, his wise eyes full of affection for the young ewe.
"Yes, baby girl, momma was a hero."
It was then that Lily knew what she was going to do with her life. Her mother gave her life fighting for Lily and the herd, and Lily was going to make something of that life. She would be a Solider, like her mother, and be willing to give her life for her own child and herd. She wasn't going to be a Soldier to be a popular choice during the Siv, like so many other females did, she was going to be a Soldier because she wanted to be a mother that her child could be proud to have, as she was proud to have had a mother like Tikara.
She would give anything, everything, to become the Goennec that her mother could look down upon from wherever she may be and say, "That's my baby girl, and I wouldn't trade her for the world."
She would be that Goennec one day,
and she'd stop at nothing until she got there.
