Εmber McGrath
Little dragon

Full name: Ember K. McGrath
Gender: Male
Age: 10
Theme music (and art)
Sexuality:
Unsure, though Ember thinks he might be
gay. He hasn't told anyone about it yet,
not even his dad. It's not because he's
afraid, he knows his parents will support
him, he just wants to make sure first.

Active-Outgoing-Imaginative-Playful-Crazy-Empathic-Responsible-Trustworthy

Ember is a small plumie with a big imagination. He loves fantasy and anything related to it. He eagerly gobbles up any information regarding knights or dragons. At home he can usually be found flipping through books or blasting the soundtrack to his favorite movies on repeat. He acts out his own stories is his head, where he is that hero on a mission to save the world from various evils. He keeps telling himself that he'll write them down as books someday, but finds the actual writing process excruciatingly boring.
He as a tendency to get himself into trouble for not paying attention in school. He is often to busy riding dragons and exploring caverns to pay attention.

Ember is generally outgoing and friendly. Though he prefers to play by himself, where he has total control over him world, anyone who is willing to pick up a stick and 'sword fight' with him is welcome to join. He is not afraid to approach teenagers or older children who look like the active, social type. He is also quite empathic, and can't stand to see others in pain, both physical and emotional. Ember himself has quite a high tolerance for physical pain, which is defiantly a good thing as he does play quite rough and is always falling out of trees and bruising himself. In fact it's a wonder he has never broken a bone.

Ember respects his parents, but his stubborn streak can easily get him into trouble. He can be quite distractable too, and has a bad habit of forgetting what he was doing. He takes his responsibilities very seriously, though, and he never breaks a promise. This makes him very trustworthy and his friends can talk to him knowing he'll keep their secrets.

Phoenix-Female-Eastern Screech Owl
"She can't talk, but she's an amazing listener."

Phoenix was extremely young when Ember found her. He was looking around the base of a pine tree for a stick to use as a sword when he saw her. She surprised him at first; in all her pink, sparsely feathered glory. Ember had never seen a baby bird before and it took him

a few seconds of staring to realize what it was. He nudged it, wondering if it was dead. It wobbled, and made a distressed twittering sound. Ember looked up, searching for a hole or nest where it might have fallen from. About half way up the tree he spotted a tangle of twigs and branches. That's a long fall... He thought. His heart went out to the tiny creature. He knew he that when you found a wild creature you were supposed to leave it, to let nature take it's course, but he just couldn't stand the thought. He untied the towel that he had been using as a cape and moved the baby bird onto it. "How about an adventure?" He asked as he tied the towel back up again so that the it formed a safe hammock. He carried it back up the tree, only to see that the nest had been torn apart by some predator. Ember was unsure what to do. He knew he was supposed to leave the little thing until the parents got back, but what if they didn't come back? He climbed back, wondering what to do. He couldn't take her home, could he? What did baby birds need to eat? Worms? Seeds? After several minutes of pacing and thinking he picked it back up and walked home.
After a few hours of research he learned that the bird was a baby owl and that she was far to young to even have imprinted on her parents. He convinced his parents to let him raise her himself.

Phoenix is Ember's best friend and lifelong companion. She rides around of his back near constantly and is even comfortable falling asleep while he carries her. Ember cares for her more than anything else in the world. She is willing to do anything for him. When he leaves for school she will occasionally make sad cooing noises and greet him enthusiastically when he comes home. He loves to bounce his ideas off her, telling her his plans and stories while she listens quietly. He can often be heard chatting with her in the evening before she goes out to hunt.
Other than the fact that she is a constant bother to his father's crow, Ilios, she get's along decently with the rest of the family.

Ember's family

ℂole

-

Ember admires his father and look up to him as a role model.
He goes to his dad for support, and feels comfortable telling
him just about anything. Although, he tends to be less goofy
and outgoing around his dad.
He also shares his love of birds. Cole helped give Ember the
knowledge to raise Phoenix.

ℱirecracker
-
Ember often finds him mom somewhat overbearing and
sometimes is embarrassed by her when she's loud in public.
But in truth her enthusiasm has rubbed off on him is a big way,
even if he doesn't realize it. He can't imagine life without a loud,
crazy mother.

When Lilith was just a baby Ember called her 'Lili' (lee-lee) and it stuck firmly in his mind. He still calls her by it.
Ember's relationship with Lilith is currently a confusing one. She was the perfect little sister that everyone wished they had; a playful, respectful and kind little angel. He went for a long time without ever seeing her dark side. He didn't believe what others told him about her.

However, Ember has managed to get on her bad side. And learned that she isn't the angel she pretends to be. But he has learned that she really does need his support, so he continues to stand up for her. She is still his little sister after all and she always will be.

Notes:
I wrote this before Lilith's profile was updated and I had a totally different idea, so I had to rush and re-write it last minute. Hence the unfitting art and poor wording. Sorry about that. ^^' I'll re-work it if I end up winning, though.
1017 words, not counting headers and decorative text.
I draw my own art. Winner can contact me for some unfinished pieces if they'd like. '3'

Their relationship is based on trust,
Jared has always been there for Lyric
and Lyric has done the same for him.
He taught her many things and has
cared for her ever since they first
met. She strives to make him
happy and to do whatever it takes
to keep him safe, as she knows he'd
do the same for her.

Relationship with Firecracker;;

He loves his mother, to him her loud,
outgoing personality makes her unique
and he wouldn't want to change her for
the world. He loves spending time with
her, but at times would like to be alone
as he likes to be in a quiet room from
time to time.

Relationship with Cole;;

He admire's his father and strives to
someday be a strong, hard-working
plumie like him. Because he's shy and
not as loud as his mother he enjoys his
fathers company when he isn't so in the
mood for a loud conversation or to be
around someone loud. He likes the
balance between his parents, one loud
and the other not so much.

Relationship with Lilith;;

He doesn't always get along with his
sister, as that 'perfect little girl' act
doesn't fool him. He used to believe it,
but when he got older he realized it was
an act. As every relationship has it faults
that doesn't mean he completely hates or
dislikes her, he loves his sister and would
do anything for her but his little actor of
a sister tends to get on his nerves.

Personality;;

Jared is confident, outgoing, charming
and kind, finding being nice to others is a
better way of getting them to like you than
being mean or rude. That of course
doesn't mean he cannot be rude at times,
he'll sometimes say things that are hurtful
and mean, but mostly its only if he's angry
or just oblivious to the fact that it was
hurtful. He actually does care about
others feelings and tries his best to make
them happy, but he'll make mistakes from
time to time. But that's how he learns, when
he makes a mistake he takes a moment to
figure out what he did wrong and then tries
his best to avoid doing it again. He's not a
very short-tempered kid, he is patient and
kind, loving and will always be there for
those he cares about. If he finds someone
or thing that is hurt he'll try to the best of
his abilities to help them, even heal them
if he can.

How he met Lyric;;

It was early summer, just starting to get hot yet it wasn’t quite at a temperature where you felt like you were dying. A slight breeze ruffled his fur as he stepped out of the car, a big toothy grin on his face. After bugging his parents all winter and spring, they finally took the whole family hiking, he was excited and felt like he was ready for anything.
They all set out, walking up the trail as they listened to birds singing. He walked ahead of his family be a few feet, admiring the beauty of the forest before they would leave.
He soon heard a sort of chirping noise coming from ahead of him, it sounding frightened and possibly hurt. Curious he quickened his pace, veering to the right he found what looked like a tiny bird by the base of a tree. He called his family over, picking the small bird up gently as they walked up.
“Oh, you poor thing!” His mother said, looking down at the bird in his hands.
“What kind of bird is it?” Jared asked his father.
“Looks like a baby owl.” His father told him, glancing around to see if he could find where it had fallen from.
“Can I keep him?!” Jared asked excitedly.
“I don’t know son, it’s a lot of work to take care of an animal, not to mention it’s a wild animal.” His father told him.
“I’ll take good care of him.” Jared begged with puppy dog eyes. “Besides, it looks hurt.” He added as he glanced down at the owl in his hands.
“Oh, alright.” His father said with a sigh. “But you better take good care of it.”
“Thank you so much.” Jared said, nearly bouncing with excitement. They stopped their hike there and took the owl to the vet, but other than being frightened and hungry it seemed to be fine. The whole trip back to the apartment he was smiling, thinking of names for his new friend who the vet had explained is female not male. “Oh, I know!” He exclaimed. “I’ll name her Lyric.”
