Why was he given the glowing marble, what memory is associated with it?

"With the night comes a sense,
of calming, quiet serenity.
Washing away all fear,
bringing with it clarity."
~Poem by Manx~

Close your tired eyes, relaxing them.
Count from 1 to 10 and open them.
All these heavy thoughts will try to weigh you down, but not this time.

Way up in the air, you're finally free, and you can stay up there, right next to me.
All this gravity will try to pull you down, but not this time.

When the sun goes down, and the lights burn out,
Then it's time for you to shine.
Brighter than the shooting star, so shine no matter where you are.

Fill the darkest night, with a brilliant light,
'cause it's time for you to shine.
Brighter than a shooting star, so shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Brighter than a shooting star,
Shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Gazing through my eyes, when the fire starts,
And fan the flame so hot, it melt our hearts.
All the pouring rain, will try to put it out, but not this time.

Let your colours burn, and brightly burst, into a million sparks,
but all dispersed and illuminate a world,
That'll try to bring you down,
But not this time.

When the sun goes down, and the lights burn out,
Then it's time for you to shine.
Brighter than the shooting star, so shine no matter where you are.

Fill the darkest night, with a brilliant light,
'cause it's time for you to shine.
Brighter than a shooting star, so shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Brighter than a shooting star,
Shine no matter where you are, tonight.

A thousand heartbeats beating time, and makes this dark planet come alive.
So when the lights flicker out tonight, you gotta shine.

When the sun goes down, and the lights burn out,
Then it's time for you to shine.
Brighter than the shooting star, so shine no matter where you are.

Fill the darkest night, with a brilliant light,
'cause it's time for you to shine.
Brighter than a shooting star, so shine no matter where you are, tonight.

Brighter than a shooting star,
Shine no matter where you are, tonight.

"Hey there, I'm Manx!"

→ N a m e :
"This little Kia's name is Sterling. This name has several meanings, including 'genuine' and 'little star'."

→ G e n d e r :
"He is, of course, male."

→ A g e :
"Sterling is two and a half years old."

→ B i r t h d a y :
"June 23rd."

→ S i g n :
"Being born on June 23rd, Sterling's zodiac is the water sign, cancer."

→ F a m i l y :
"The only family Sterling has left is his big sister."

→ F a v o u r i t e B o o k :
"It would be impossible for him to choose just one!"

→ F a v o u r i t e S o n g :
"Though this often changes, his current favourite song is 'The Lost Tale' by BrunuhVille. Instrumental music tends to be his favourite, because each song tells a story that is free to be interpreted differently by everyone who listens to it."

→ F a v o u r i t e P a i n t i n g :
"Another tough one, that often changes. Currently, his favourite would have to be this painting by Robert Bateman, as this gorgeous artwork portrays his favourite animal; the owl."

→ F a v o u r i t e S e a s o n :
"Sterling's favourite season would have to be summer. It's the time of year where he can lie outside, simply watching the stars for hours on end as the crickets gently chirp around him."

→ F a v o u r i t e C o l o u r :
"A tough one, but Sterling's favourite colours would have to be a rich azure blue or a shining silver."

→ L i k e s :
"All forms of art, including literature, paintings, and music, are all great passions of Sterling's. Having the ability to become lost in some form of artwork and leave the world of reality behind is something that brings him great relief. Of all things, he finds the night sky most inspiring. With its sheer vastness and infinite amount of possibilities, space is another one of his greatest interests."

→ D i s l i k e s :
"Sterling finds many types of social situations awkward, and simply unnerving. He certainly isn't the most social of Kiamaras, and being around others often puts him under pressure. Crowds and loud noises, for example, can often times make him panicky. In addition to this, Sterling simply hates when others use improper grammar, and has the tendency to correct them while they are speaking."

Let it go, let it roll right off your shoulder
Don’t you know the hardest part is over?
Let it in, let your clarity define you
In the end we will only just remember how it feels

Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours still remain

Let it slide, let your troubles fall behind you
Let it shine until you feel it all around you
And I don’t mind if it’s me you need to turn to
We’ll get by, it’s the heart that really matters in the end

Our lives are made in these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Time falls away but these small hours
These small hours still remain

All of my regret will wash away somehow
But I cannot forget the way I feel right now
In these small hours
These little wonders, these twists and turns of fate
Yeah, these twists and turns of fate!


Time falls away, yeah but these small hours
And these small hours still remain, yeah
Ooh they still remain
These little wonders, oh these twists and turns of fate

Time falls away but these small hours
These little wonders still remain


~Little Wonders, Rob Thomas~

→ W e a k n e s s e s :
Of all things, Sterling's complete lack of confidence in his self is his greatest weakness. Though he absolutely loves to create things, he rarely shows anything he makes to others, for fear that they will find it disappointing. This constant fear of failure has a large impact on his life, and has developed into performance anxiety. Often times when he is placed under pressure, even if he knows what he is doing, he will choke and be unable to complete the task to the best of his ability. Being unable to do well only shoots his confidence lower, creating a vicious cycle.

→ S t r e n g t h s :
Sterling's greatest strength is probably his creativity. As much as he loves reading, listening, and looking at art, he also loves to create it. He takes most of his inspiration from nature, and loves to be surrounded by it as he works. His most prominent fascination, though, is with space. With so many possibilities unexplored, he takes quite a bit of inspiration from it. In addition to this, Sterling is also quite intelligent. Although he doesn't usually believe it, as he often compares himself to others who have different strengths then he does, he's actually a great thinker and problem solver.

→ P e r s o n a l i t y :
Sterling is, to say the least, rather introverted. He has a hard time fitting into normal social gatherings, and more times than not he'll be seen off on his own. Though he truly wishes he could fit in with others, his shy nature overrides this, and he is often seen as an outcast. Trust also isn't something that comes easy to him, and the only one he truly trusts is his big sister. Despite this, though, he truly is a caring and kind Kiamara, and likes to help out wherever he can. He truly dislikes conflict and violence, and will go out of his way in order to prevent it. A diplomat by heart, Sterling enjoys working out people's problems, helping them come to a compromise. By nature, Sterling is also a very inquisitive Kia, and absolutely loves learning. Science is particular is a passions of his, and he's always up for reading about chemistry, biology, or astronomy.

Two forms sat side by side, silhouetted against the bright moon. They sat together in silence, eyes trained on the flickering forms of the dazzling stars above.
“I miss them too, you know,” the larger Kiamara murmured, breaking the silence.
The smaller Kia, a young male, ducked his head, unwilling to meet his sister’s eyes. He knew, of course what she was talking about; their parents.
“They loved watching the stars, so much,” his sister continued, smiling at the warm memory. “Remember how they would always wake us up at night to go see them?”
“Yeah,” Sterling replied softly, his voice barely audible.
His sister glanced at him from the corner of her eye, concern flickering in it. Slowly, she bent and removed a blue marble from her leg, one of two she always kept with her. They had been gifts from her parents before they died, and were incredibly dear to her. “Here,” she said gently, placing the marble between her brother’s paws.
In confusion, he looked to her, and she smiled sadly. “Keep it with you, always, and you’ll never be alone,” she whispered, gently pulling him into an embrace. “I promise you.”

Why was he given the glowing marble, what memory is associated with it?

Coloured lanterns shone towards him, beckoning the small Marico. Today was the moon festival, a day when the moon decides the fate of young Kiamara boys’, whether a full or crescent moon . “Mam! MAM!” He yelled looking for her in the crowd. As the chancellor started to call out names, Marico sat down in the crowd, silently waiting for his own. He looked up to see the stars, slightly blurred but still there, and the moon’s light shone in the night sky.
Excitement raced up his body as he was called. Running up onto stage he sat down with pride on his face. He squinted through his one eye to look at his sister, who was sitting close the first row. He held his breath as the moon changed... was he a crescent, a half or full? No... It was something that made the whole crowd gasps. Marico recoiled at the Eclipsed moon. He wanted to cry, he would be shunned from society, forever. Suddenly he saw a warm blue glow, a-a marble? He thought looking at the sphere, the floating orb lighting up the amazed faces of the crowd.
He smiled as the stars winked at him "Thanks mam" he said.

Kias name: Cashmere Helix. The "Cashmere" part just struck me when I first saw him - it suits him. And Helix is the name of a nebula located in Aquarius, a constellation. His big sis, along with his friends, just call him Cash.

Gender: Male

Why was he given the glowing marble, what memory is associated with it?

When Cash was just a pupling, his sister took him out every night to see the stars. Every night, Cash would ask her: "Why do you wear a star on your tail?" And every night, his sister would answer: "To make the darkness look more pale." It was like a game, and Cash loved it, but it also made him more curious. So he continued to ask every night. Why, why, why? He never got a true answer.

It was a beautiful day in July. Cashmere's mood, however, was dreary; he'd been taunted all day by the other Kias. Tearful and angry, Cash ran away, hiding from everybody in the tall grass. But finally, when the moon was high, Cash crawled out of his hiding place. His sister looked relieved. "Why so sad, CH?" It was one of his sister's many nicknames, but Cash kept quiet.

His sister seemed to understand.

They looked up at the stars. Cash murmured the question. “Why do you wear a star on your tail?" His sister smiled and nudged him, clinking something against his fur, and Cash looked up. A bright, glowing blue “star” was glinting from a string in her muzzle. A star of his own, given to him by his sister.

"To make the darkness look more pale."

Cash understood.

Milo

Gender:
Male

Why was he given the glowing marble, what memory is associated with it?
"The light will always be with you" she said. When ever you feel alone in the dark just think of the most precious memory you have and the lights from the marbles will guide you home again. Milo looked up at the nightsky and it looked exactly like it did the night his sister gave him the marbles.

He remembered what he thought that night. As he gazed up at the thousand tiny lights scattered across the heavens, wondering what it would be like to hold one in his hand. His sister looked at him and smiled.

-The night you were born a falling star fell across the night sky. It's light could be nothing but a sign. I ran into the woods, where I found it smoking hot and still shining brightly. I was able too scrape some of the dust from it into this marble. It will always be there too help lost travelers find their way home. It is yours now too hold and too keep, too share it and rejoice - for life is full of light even in the darkest of places.

Personality:
Milo is really sweet and kind. He loves to lay back in the grass and admire the nightsky. He would do anything to put a smile on your face and put everyones feelings before his own. He gets annoyed when people think that they are better than everyone else. In his eyes all living things has the same value and should be treated with respect.

Why was he given the glowing marble, what memory is associated with it?
Marcelo was given the small glowing marble from his sister because it contains part of the spirit of their mother who passed away. See, Marcelo never knew his mother, he was raised along side his sister thinking that other Kia's didn't have mothers too. But when he saw the other young Kia's call out that word ''Mother'' and it's other variations, he asked his sister ''What is a 'Mother'?''. She didn't want to break the poor kid's heart. ''A mother is someone who protects a couple of young Kia's into adulthood. But, you see, some Kia's don't have a mother - like you.'' she tells him. ''Instead, they have a brother or a sister to protect them. But they can't do it on their own.'' to which, with a slightly weak smile, she handed him a glowing marble. ''So we have our own pocket sized mothers, who help us stay strong when protecting our siblings. This one is ours, Marcelo, and she protects us - but we have to protect her too as she is one with the stars.. This will remind you that you're not like any normal Kia - you're a special Kiamara. ''

Jericho

Gender:

Male

Why was he given the glowing marble, what memory is associated with it?

When even younger, Jericho's favorite pastime was chasing his tail, often ending up in a dizzied and content pile on the ground. His bounding around brought great happiness and laughter to his family, and they remarked that when he spun around quickly, his pelt resembled the night sky, always changing and shining in different places. His older sister always loved watching him, and would occasionally join him, both pelts glittering as they spun.
However, growing older was inevitable, as his beloved sister began to grow out of doing childish things with him. Saddened, and left without a companion, Jericho lost interest in his tail. Soon his sister received her feathers from his parents, and his proud sibling began to wear a glowing orb around her front paw. Jericho, though young and naive, could still feel their growing separation.
Yet one day, out of the blue, his sister approached him with that familiar glimmer in her eyes, carrying something in her mouth. It was an orb, just like the one she had, but smaller and and matched his tail color. She helped him tie it onto his tail, and spoke words he'd always remember.
"Happiness can be found anywhere, even through small things like chasing your tail. Never forget."
