ＩＮＴＲＯＤＵＣＴＩＯＮ

"Ellis, hurry up!", came the sharp voice of my grandfather.
Grinning, I looked back over my shoulder to see the forest
where I had been playing one last time. When grandfather
saw me, he smiled. "You guys ready?"

My brother and I both nodded, but I was definitely more
excited than him. I was practically jumping up and down.
"Alright everybody!", a person was shouting. "If you're here
for the cave tour, come over here so we can pass out
lanterns."

It was my birthday, and I had chosen to go with my grand-
parents to the national park near their house to tour the
cave. I've been in the cave too many times to count, but I
still got excited when I went back.

"Hey Ellie," the tour guide said to me with a smile. "Happy
Birthday." "Thanks", i said before we were led outside, to
an opening in the hill. There's really no way to describe it,
but I didn't have time to think about that before we all
turned on our lanterns, and walked in.

It takes a long time to earn Ellis's trust, and even longer to gain his friendship. To
most, Ellis seems like "a burden", and is not worth the amount of time it takes to
become friends with him. Those who do take the time to get to know him realize
that he is a very interesting plumerian who is fun to be around.

At first glance, Ellis is a very secretive plumerian. Even if you are close to him, it
isn't likely he'll spill all of his secrets to you in one day. Ellis isn't one for "deep
conversations" with lots of emotion, and if anyone tries to start one up, he just
looks away, getting uncomfortable.

Ellis is very open to others ideas, and never takes his opinions very seriously. It is
easy to get him to change his mind about something, and he almost never wins an
argument, let alone start one. Ellis absolutely hates disappointing plumerians,
and if he does, it's almost guaranteed that he'll say sorry too many times to count
before you can even say that it's okay.

idk what else to write wheeee

"Ellis! Grab your bags, it's time to go!", Ellis looked around, and spotted his older brother at the bottom of the stairs, dragging several suit cases behind her.
"Okay!", Ellis shouted back, grabbing his bags, he looked back at his old room for one last time. He was 6 at the time, and his sister had told him that they would be living with their grandparents from now on, but wouldn't tell him where his parents went.
Ellis waved, as if saying good bye to the room, and followed his sister down the stairs.

ＡＰＰＥＡＲＡＮＣＥ

[center][size=80]Ellis doesn't really mind that he is different from other plumerians, in fact, he kind of likes the way he stands out. Most of the time, at least. Sometimes, his appearance can attract unwanted attention from plumerians who end up bullying him, or asking too many questions. Ellie has a rather sturdy build, and is a bit more muscular than the average plumerian, but he isn't bulky, and doesn't look like the most active guy.

No one was really sure where he got his horns from, seeing
as his parents didn't have them, and none of his family does.
His parents did some investigating when he was born with the
little stubs that were his horns, and found that several
generations ago, there had been a plumerian with horns
like Ellis's. He was Ellis's great great grandfather, and was
nicknamed the forest guardian, which is where Ellis got his
nickname from.
















The wings are a touchy subject for Ellis. He isn't sure if he
is able to fly with them, but doesn't really want to try
due to his fear of heights. Almost every plumerian he
meets will ask about his wings at some point, and look
at him strangely when he says he can't fly.

Nature Nature Nature
The thing that has made every creature.
It’s in the sun in the sky
And not to forget the birds that fly.

Nature is the guardian of Earth’s beauty
& protecting it is our duty.
Nature is the eternal power in the universe
But pollution today is a human curse.

Without nature Earth would be Black & White
How many of us would love such a sight ?
We must get everything going right
It’s a matter that should not be taken light.

₪
Renee can be almost shy, in a way. Always ducking in and out, weaving past others, and never staying in one place for long. She believes she has a 'connection', with all of nature, which might be true. Though she does not have magical powers, animals and creatures gravitate towards her, as a safe being. She would never hurt a fly, as Renee is soft and gentle, with a honey-like voice. She is soft-spoken, and usually puts others feelings before hers. She never wants to see anyone unhappy, and will try to fix them the best. She will entertain, and she is very skilled with a flute, which makes others calm, and going to sleep. She can sometimes be a bit mean if someone hurts her friends, and even get frustrated, which leads to her saying something that, in Renee's mind, if offensive. But it's really not.

₪
Renee was born unknown. And orphan, you might say. Left in the woods after a few weeks. But, she was left in a cottage. A cottage that was smaller, filled with birds, cobwebs, spiders, and other animal inhabitance. Once and a while, the mother plumerian would come to visit, and fix it up, and take care of Renee. No one knows why she was named Renee Claire, but it suits her. Very prominent and strong, but feminine. Of course, with her.. 'gift', animals were comfortable around her. So, yes. She was slightly taken care of them. As they thought she, was a creature like themselves would bring leaves, berries, and other leafy treats. After a while, she grew up young, tall, strong and healthy. She has older friends of when she was a younger plumerian, always playing with certain animals who would take the rambunctious young plumie. Now, she's a bit more subtle and calm, but still loves her friends. There, she resides peacefully in her cottage in the woods. Renee has carved a flute for herself, and is very good at playing it, lulling others to sleep. It's a very soothing instrument. She also likes to build minor things with sticks and twigs. Usually, she'll have a small bird fluttering around her, and her fur is usually wiry, thick, and messy with twigs all in it.

₪
Renee has wished for a crush, or love, and she has often dreamt about it. But of course, she puts others feelings before hers, and she doesn't think much of love. She loves her friends deeply, but she wants to be romanced, and danced with. She loves to dance. All she wants is a grove with fireflies lighting it, her lantern down, and with a gentleman, dancing. But of course, that's a long shot. She has crushes when she was younger, but none of them lasted. She doesn't really think about it now, though she will think about it if she can.

₪
One of her main traits is she's very sweet. She can be seen as a 'motherly' type figure, with maternal instincts. She can be a little funny, and usually give someone a smile. She is very happy, and rarely is seen in a sad mood. Her silly antics make younger ones laugh, and she enjoys the company of others.

₪
Renee is a bit shy. Which can make her decisions based off of fear, or others thoughts. She is also a bit gullible, but she tries not to trust easily. Sometimes she can be very bold, which is a pro, and a con, considering the situation.

₪
Tulips.
The meaning of tulips is generally perfect love. Like a few flowers, different colors of tulips also often carry their own significance. Red tulips are most strongly associated with true love, while purple symbolizes royalty. The meaning of yellow tulips has evolved somewhat, from once representing hopeless love to now being a common expression for cheerful thoughts and sunshine. White tulips are used to claim worthiness or to send a message of forgiveness. Variegated tulips, once among the most popular varieties due to their striking color patterns, represent beautiful eyes. With all of the sentiments and meanings of tulips, it’s not surprising that their popularity continues to endure. The wide range of colors and varieties available allows them to be used for many occasions. In addition to being a favorite for cut flower arrangements, tulips can also be given as a potted plant. The growing and caring for of tulip bulb gardens and plants is a rewarding pastime for many flower lovers. As one of the world’s most beloved flowers, a gift of tulips is a sure delight, enchanting in its beauty and simplicity.

₪
The sunflower.
Gifts of radiant warmth, sunflowers are the happiest of flowers, and their meanings include loyalty and longevity. They are unique in their ability to provide energy in the form of nourishment and vibrance, an attribute which mirrors the sun and the energy provided by its heat and light. No flower can lift spirits quite like sunflowers can. Bright and cheery, bold yet comfortable, the sunflower is a warm and caring gift. With brilliant yellow petals that surround the flower’s center, sunflowers have an unmistakable sun-like appearance that has made them a passionate flower choice for many. Sunflowers come in a number of varieties, ranging from small to large and from daylight yellows to sunset reds.

₪
Much (though not all) pop music has swearing and explicit references. Renee can get pretty angry when she hears a good pop song with a creative melody and interesting chord changes that forfeits itself for a dirty word or immoral reference. She will never listen to pop radio around because it's just too dirty. It's not safe or healthy. But classical music is. Classical pieces are clean and lovely. That's what others need to dwell on - things that are true, noble, right, pure, lovely, and admirable (Philippians 4:8). The world offers us enough temptation; we needn't increase our load by meditating on sinful lyrics.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________

₪
Renee lives in a small cottage in Ireland. Well, Southern Ireland. It has long, and large green rolling hills, a few trees of where she is at. She might seem like a gypsy, living all alone. She'll wander, and travel, always looking around and trying to collect little nicknacks for her home. But Southern Ireland is a very lovely place. Nice Plumies, and people. She has a thick accent, which is also soothing.

Keitha.
Forest.

Hey there. My name's plushii. call me plush. c:
This lovely gal will hopefully be my first, so I guess I should start at the beginning for her.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Personality-
Keitha is a gentle Plumie, but much like the ape spirits in "Princess Mononoke," (which she loves, by the way.) she hates humans and will do anything to protect the forest from their wrath. Aside from being extremely protective of her forest, and the creatures in it, she is generally very kind and sweet.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Traveling and Lantern-
She does live alone in the forest, wandering from place to place in the forest, so she does not have many friends aside from fawns, rabbits and foxes. For this purpose, she does not have a specific place to live. Thus, she often wanders into the night, visiting Plumie villages to make the crops grow and things. That's why she has a lantern. She either carries it or ties in to her tail or neck. Sometimes, if she's accompanied by a fawn, it'll go around their neck. It often glows a green, like her markings.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Markings,Wings and Build.-
As for her markings, she does have some control over them. When she's angry or distressed, they glow darker. She can make them glow very dimly, and they represent her life force. They are a lovely pale green most of the time, but will pulse and shift colors when she's breathing. When she's sleeping, they flicker steadily, pulsing in a gentle grass-green. As for her wings, she cannot use them. They do allow her to glide about a foot off the ground, and go very fast, but not for long. She's built for speed, not stamina or flying.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Social Life and Quirks-
As said before, she lives alone in the forest, if wandering from place to place can be called living. She doesn't have many friends or any relationships, (though I'm sure the future will bring some c;) though she is particularly fond of a certain fallow deer fawn and white rabbit. As for her quirks, as said above, she hates humans, though she finds their technology (movies and beanbag chairs mostly) fascinating.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-Backstory/Legend-

A young Plumie could barely be seen against the shadowy trees with her pulsing and shifting green markings and brown hues. Today was the day. It was early evening, and the birds were chirping their last, sleepy chirps. She padded softly out from her thicket, and met up with a deer and a fox in a few moments.

[Sillybob101]

username: Sillybob101
I'm a non-owner whos been stalking the forums and trying out for a couple plumes here and there. This species are so beautiful, and I am very determined to get at least one, one day.
There isn't much else about me, just that I will try my hardest for this beauty.

name: Zel-Bey
name meaning: doesn't have one, it remains a mystery
gender: Female
age: Even though she doesn't keep track, she is about 20-22 years old
food choice: Zel is a vegetarian since she doesn't believe in hurting/eating animals
birth date: January 19th
zodiac totem: Capricorn
zodiac element: Earth
birth stone: Garnet
accent: Light Scandinavian
orrientation: Bicurious
theme song: Evil Beauty by Blackmill

personality:
Zel-Bey is usually very quiet and subtle when she is around other plumerians. She isn't shy or socially awkward, just well kept. Also, she doesn't understand much of the modern terms and isn't so good with her speaking, since she doesn't use much of it back where she lives.

When she's back in her forest home, she enjoys mingling with the other forest creatures. Zel also talks to them, even if she knows they don't understand what she is saying. But to Zel, she feels as if they understand her. Zel is also a writing, but in her mind. She enjoys making up stories while she's on her nightly walks, and stores those stories in her memories to help her get to sleep, and/or to entertain the forest wildlife. She also thinks to herself a lot, and sometimes even thinks out loud.

Zel isn't really keen into going out of her comfort zone. She enjoys staying in the forest where she thinks she belongs. Though sticking to the old ways, Zel-Bey does know of civilizations beyond her beloved forest. And some day she wishes of experiencing it, though she isn't ready. Zel is afraid of leaving her home and her forest friends. But one day, she'll know she'll be brave enough to part from her comfort zone.

her best friend:
Zel's best friend is Klarabelle. They have been friends for a while. Zel feels as if Klarabelle completes her in a way, where she doesn't feel lonely staying in the forest all the time. Klarabelle's smoothe, kind nature makes Zel feel comfortable and at peace. She really enjoys walking through the forests with Klara and just talking to eachother about their lives.

Zel's favorite trait about Klarabelle is that she's a good listener, and since Zel is a bit of a story teller, she enjoys telling Klara about her adventures and dreams. And she also enjoys being a good listener to Klarabelle whenever she's talking, since she is very interested to hear what she has to say about her own life and the world outside the forest.

Her favorite activity to do with Klara is to sing songs with her, since they are both singers. Zel also greatly admires Klarabelle's voice and hopes to sing as good as her one day.

The need for sleep..:
It was dawn when I started to head back to the willow tree..I yawned so much that I swear I was out of breath once I reached the tree. Though once I laid my head down on the mossy pillow, a few of the forest creatures had just come in to inform me of a traveler wandering through the forest. As my duty to the forest, I rose up and went to check it out. It turns out it was only a lost child who was exploring the forest. I helped them find their way out and soon got my well deserved rest.





Stories for the ones who matter:
I told the forest creatures about the story of Maleficent. Them seemed to like it a lot, especially the happy ending. While on my nightly walk, I thought about the story long and hard. She was the carer and protector of her home just as I am with mine.. I just hope nothing ever comes up to where I go blind with revenge and hate. Things like that cause damage..




The Great Willow:
Some call it a tree. I call it home. I have lived in this hollowed out weeping willow ever since I was just a baby. I was found here by the forest creatures, and they have taken care of me and protected me ever since. Now it is my turn to care and protect them.





Fear of flight:
"I tried flying today...it was horrible. My heart shook at the slightest glance towards the Earth. My wings shook as I flapped. I knew it was because I was scared, but I couldn't help it. The birds flew past, seeming to support me by chirping and keeping close to me. But it wasn't enough. All I could vision was me diving down into the trees, destroying homes and destroying my wings..."





The day I descovered chocolate:
Today I saw another traveler coming through the forest. They didn't seem like much of a threat, but I couldn't be so sure. They had something that smelled...sweet. I was curious to find out what it was. And it seemed I wasn't the only one who had smelled the aroma. A few of the forest animals, Jay the blue bird, Fiona the doe and Cloud the rabbit had come along to find out what it was. After a few moments of following, the being had dropped something in the clearing. We waited until they were out of sight before running up to the object. It was rectangular and somewhat thin. But it smelled wonderful! I ended up unwrapping the object, to find a milky-brown colored...food? Whatever it was, I shared it with the others and took a bit myself. Never in my life have I tasted something so like...'chocolate' is what it said on the covering. Chocolate.

Zel was born into an ordinary family, her being a single child. She was almost a year old when her parents left her in the hollowed out willow tree in the woods. It was the only solution...

While Anita, Zel-Bey's mother, was pregnant with her, she grew weak and very ill. Her father Boah had searched for a cure and was introduced a special tonic from a mysterious old woman who guaranteed health to both Anita and the baby. Even though he didn't have the money to pay for it in full, Boah promised the rest after Anita's health returned. Though by the time Zel-Bey was born, Boah still didn't have enough money to give the old woman. Enraged by this, the old woman vowed to curse their child with untold evils. Afraid for their baby, Boah and Anita kept Zel a secret from the old woman for a whole year, until she took notice that the baby was already born.

With no other solution, the couple ran off into the forest with Zel asleep in her mother's arms. Her father new the forest well, and knew the safest place to keep their child. The pair traveled through the forest all night, not looking back. They knew they would have to face the old woman someday..just not with Zel. Approaching an old oak tree, Boah carefully checked to make sure it was empty.
"Boah..no..." Anita whined softly as she clutched Zel-Bey closer to her chest.

"We have to love...we can't take any chances with that...that witch.." Boah spat the last couple of words before meeting eye to eye with Anita. "I promise you..she won't be found here. She'll survive.." He walked up closer to his wife and baby, holding them both in his arms while pressing his forehead against Anita's. "I can feel it.."

After saying their quiet good-byes, the couple carefully stashed Zel-Bey in the back of the weeping willow. With quiet sobs, Anita and Boah both gave their Zel a kiss on the forehead before fleeing the tree and not looking back. It was the hardest thing a parent could do. They felt as if it was the end of their time, and the end of Zel-Bey.

But they were wrong...for it was just the beginning.

Zel's childhood was pretty simple since she had no worries and was always cared for by the animals in the forests.
Though Zel was raised by a doe and her fawn, since their den was the hollowed out tree that Zel was left in.
Zel was always a very quiet child, but full of wonder.
She would always play with the fawn she felt was her sibling at the time and enjoyed playing with the other baby animals too.
Her favorite thing as a child was to roam the meadows in search for butterflies.

The teen years of Zel-Bey were a bit harsh and complex. It was a little later after she turned 12 that she figured she was different than everyone else in the forest.
It was one look into a hidden pond inside a cave that turned everything upside down.
Ever since Zel figured out she was different, she then tried to 'find herself' out in the forest by doing crazy stunts, like seeing if she could fly to the sun.
She also tried to leave the forest to see if she could 'find herself' out there too.
After a few tries, she realized that she was scared of many things.
All it took was time for her to find her purpose in this world..

Once Zel-Bey became an adult, she had long since found her purpose. To repay the forest for taking care of protecting her while she was growing up. Zel matured just a little, though she feels the same since she was just a child. Zel-Bey has taken more responsibility in caring for the forest every passing day. Though it isn't a hard job, it takes a lot of passion and effort. She knows most to all of the forest creatures living in the forest, and respects them all. Though the doe that had once been a mother to her passed away and now she feels closer to the fawn that grew up with her.

Crafting:
Zel's favorite thing to do in her spare time is to craft things she finds from the forest, like twigs, leaves, flowers, vines, colorful stones and anything that catches her eye. Though out of all the things she crafts, she really enjoys making anklets/bracelets. Zel has made so many that she'd be able to open a shop. And that's what she told herself if she ever were to leave her forest home.

Swimming:
Zel-Bey absolutely loves to swim, since she thinks she's really good at it. And she is. The only problem is, is that she doesn't like getting her wings wet since they feel heavier when wet. But then again, with her fear of heights, it wasn't much of a problem.

Singing:
She does it every day and every night. She enjoys singing to the forest and with her best friend Klarabelle and her musical blue bird Jay. Even when she's dreaming, she dreams that she's singing to the world. Zel doesn't really know if her singing is good or not, but the animals in the forest seem to like it, so it shouldn't be all bad.
