Name:
Estes
Nickname
Estes Nickname would be es,
it would sound like the letter S
Meaning:
Estes is a shorter version of the world aestus.
Aestus is a latin word meaning "undulation; boiling"
and it is applied to various things
that are perceived to move like
fire, heat, passion or uncertainty of mind,
the swell of the sea, or the tides.
I chose this name because this boy
reminds me of the tides in such indescribable ways,
the way the sea swells, the way the waves beat into the sand
in a rhythm only the true at heart can hear,
and he reminds me of how strong the sea is in certain ways.
Gender
Male

⚓ History ⚓
It wasn't supposed to be like this, I wasn't supposed to be swept off my feet by my fears. It wasn't something I wanted, it wasn't something anybody wanted. But here I was stranded and hoping to come out alive of this incident, but in the back of my mind I knew I wasn't and its what frightened me the most.
my fear never really came out of nowhere really but I had it from the start, from when I was born. When I was a pup I would often try to hide it and walk into the ocean because I wanted to hang out with the other pups, I wanted to have friends. But they would laugh at me when I ran away from the tide. When we grew up the teasing slowed down but never really stopped, the one thing they always picked on me about was my name why my name meant tide. It was as if my mother picked the name for a reason, as if she wanted to be as strong and fierce as the tide, as if one day I would be a great warrior of the tide just like those legends. But I was the opposite of that I would never touch the water I was deathly afraid of the depths and afraid of being trapped in it forever. Instead of trying over and over again to face my fears I would often wander along the beach in search of items like seashells or sand dollars. After a few years I grew a collection of items that ranged from broken glass to a washed up starfish. I had once found a toy dolphin, I kept him away from the other items because he gave me false sense of hope that maybe one day I could go into the ocean and join the dolphins for real.
I didn't know how it had happened but that one day I was sitting watching the others play in the water I was really content in doing so and would have loved to never touch water in my life. But it was when I snapped that changed my mind that when I saw the other pups swimming in the water, they were teasing me like they always did, saying nasty things about me and how I was a coward. That really never got to me anymore since I was used to it but then they said it and I snapped.
You're a disgrace to your own kind, you shouldn't even be here.I stood there shocked, the tears were already starting to spill down my cheek. I was starting to feel suffocated where I liked most. I wanted to run away to get out of that very spot right away but it felt as if my own paws were glued to where they were at, as if no matter how hard I pulled I would never move an inch. I began to shake, the tears were running down like a flood now and my mouth hang open but with silence. It was their snickering that finally pulled me back and made me run. I ran as fast as I could and far away as I could.
It was till I got to my den till I knew what I was going to do, what I always wanted to do. I was going to try and face my fear, and if I couldn't well I would probably never come back again. I quickly packed all my belongings along with my toy dolphin. I was waiting till sundown when everyone else was sleeping, and no one was out in the water. I was waiting till then so if I faced my fear and went out in the water it would be a surprise the next day when I went in the water. Everyone would like me and want to be my friend. I sat on the beach and watched everyone desert the water, and when the sun slowly met the horizon and disappeared. I looked up towards the moon and silently prayed that I would get out of here alive. I slowly walked out to the ocean, feeling the water touch my paws. I walked onwards even though my stomach felt like it was rising up in my throat, and getting ready to burst. When the water was chest deep, my eyes were filling up with tears, I was so afraid I didn't want to even do this but I kept on going. That's when the wave came and crashed into me. I forgot about waves even though I always watched them tumble into the shore but now I was tumbling in it. I opened my mouth trying to catch a breath of air but only got a mouthful of water. I felt the sand slowly slip away from my paws as I was being drifted out to sea. I swam up towards the top to finally get air. As I finally gasped for air I looked around thinking the beach was close. I was never so wrong in my life. what felt like seconds of tumbling through the water was actually minutes and I was almost a mile away from shore. The distance grew as I was carried farther out. I silently agreed to myself that I wasn't going to make it out of this as the tears finally fell from my eyes.
⚓ Personalites ⚓
Estes is shy and very introverted because over the past years of getting picked on has brought him to build his own shell and hide into it. He has sort of a "wild side" where he likes to adventure to new places and try new things (except things he fears most.) When he is with others that Estes is very very close with or with family members he shows his true self. "His true self" is non- introverted, he is outgoing, talkative and strong.

⚓ Stories ⚓
"Let's go this way!" Estes said, with laughter bubbling into his voice.
"But that would be the long way, Es. We gotta be home before sunset and its almost that time!" His friend said.
Estes shrugged but continued down the long way. He liked the scenery and the challenge of getting there on time while going down a new path. He didn't know what he was going to face, but he would face it with determination. They went through rivers and trees, climbing up rocks. But in the end they finally made it to see the view, the sun was beginning to set and many colors littered the sky almost like someone painted them there. The light made the leaves of the trees seem almost golden. It was a beautiful sight to see and it would make up for getting home later tonight.
"Hate me now?" Estes said with a smile.
"I might forgive you in the long run, if you take me to more places like this."
Estes chuckled at her words. "Done deal. I know so many places, you may even get tired of me taking you there."
She shrugged as she looked over at estes with a smile "Even if the sight is half as good as this, I would never get tired of you Es."
"We'll see about that." Estes said with a chuckle. He began to run down a slope as fast as he could. "Race you home! Last one home is a rotten seashell!."
The girl chuckled to herself before she could even start running. "Not fair, Es!"
