made by me for this.

username: Akua
name: Takara
"Takara" means "treasure in japanese

sex/assigned gender: female/DFAB - designated female at birth
gender: genderfluid

Takara fluctuates between all genders. Her pronouns fluctuate with whatever gender she is that day, although she likes it when people stick to her pre designated pronouns when they aren't sure what to call her. Most of the time, she identifies as female, although unless she tells you, you really can't tell what gender she is that day just by looking at her. She is usually very feminine, and no matter what she always seems feminine.
sexuality: demiromantic lesbian - She only Is able to be romantically interested in somebody after getting to know them personally, and develop a friendly bond with them; she also only is interested in girls, but that's kind of obvious~

personality
Takara, in general, is pretty tough. She is serious all around, and can be a bit snappy at times. She doesn't leave a very accurate first impression. She is often mean, rude, and blunt at first. She can seem incredibley emotionless and cold, even a bit rude, at first. Because of this, she is acctually quite lonely. She can't help how she acts at first, it's just how she's comfortable being. She doesn't like getting attatched to anyone or anything unless she knows that they can be personally trusted, at first, either. And if a gained trust is broken, she is one to never forgive that said individual.

Due to this lack of trust and horrible first impression, building a relationship with her can be quite difficult when she is in an especially iffy mood. On the contrary, although not neccessarily easy, when she is in a good mood she is alot more calm and relaxed. At first she might seem a bit too professional, but when in a said good mood she isn't nearly as mean and emotionless at first, and not rude at all.

Once one finally breaks her shell, they may see the true Takara, which can be quite a real treasure. Although still the tough and blunt orange furball we all know and usually love, Takara is amazingly kind and genuinely caring on the inside. She is always there for any friends to lean on, and often quite reliable. She is always trustworthy, and will always stick to her word -- a promise is a promise, depending.

If she judges the promise a danger to anyone, she will usually never follow through with it. That is the sole time Takara will let someone down, if the well-being of others is at stake. She will either blatantly tell you she wil, not follow through, or if the situation is delicate, she will make a false promise. These false promised are always out of pure intent, and she will take matters into her own hands to ensure everything goes smoothly and everyone is alright, and that this is due to her hidden intervention. She would never let anyone get hurt when she could have done something, even if she does not know them. Just so long as no one knows. Wouldn't want to break her own shell, right?

Takara has a very strong sense of justice, but what is even stronger is her fierce sense of loyalty. She will go to any extent for those precious to her, and is a potential danger to herself with the extents she will go to for the aforementioned select few. She will never give up on those deserving, and will always be there for them. She will always be there as a true friend would be.

Albeit level headed when she forces herself to be, Takara is very emotionally driven at her core. This tends to focus on her angrier, tougher emotions, frequently but not usually her hidden sensitive side, and almost never focuses on her sad emotions. At times any combination of these emotions can merge together, depending in the scenario. she just goes by how she feels -- even if no one can even tell how she feels. She tends to put her hidden heart before her head quite often.

This can cause her to be very rash at times. She will often lean instantly towards her first thoughts, and follows her heart perhaps a bit too much. Truthfully, isn't very uncommon for Takara to regret things. This is understandable enough, right? Regret is only to be expected from following the heart so much, but it's how she is. It's how she naturally is.

It is all part of what makes Takara, well, Takara. And well, Takara lives up to her name; a treasure needn't be perfect, accenting said treasure's uniqueness to even greater heights than perfection could even achieve.

short stories with Takara
(any Plumas in story aside from Takara are made up and any resemblance to those real or fictious are purely coincidencial)

The sand felt almost plush against Takara's bare, grey pawpads. The grains of sand each held a similar tempurature, apparently, as the soft ground she was walking on was of a nice, cool feeling. Albeit the chilly sand's temperature, the warm breezes of summer ruffled her fur delicately. It was a beautiful contrast of temperatures, and the tangerine furred girl found herself reveling in it. It was quite relaxing, if she said so herself. Yet, as if to disturb her peace, she picked up on another's presence by sound.

She whipped around, cerulean eyes suddenly emotionless. Who was there? Who would be the one to trample on her rare relaxation moment? She mumbled something in a rather annoyed tone under her breath, to lightly it was unhearable, as Takara's sky orbs at last spotted the intruder who was... Well, intruding, on her serenity. They were a stranger, pure steel gray with red eyes. Oh, how joyous. They were staring at her. And so she stared on back, expression unreadable.

At last, the silence broke. And the dark starred plumerian was the one to do so. "Um, can I help you?" Takara puffed, tone drenched in annoyance. As she awaited her response, the stranger sat down, and randomly whacked the bush beside them. At this strange notion, Takara was slightly unsettled, but didn't show this. She was trying to figure out what on earth they were doing, when the blank grey being finally responded.

A raspy voice rung out, the source being the gray muzzle. "Yo. I'm in need of help. Because I'm aweso~~~me!" The last part was sarcastically spoken, Takara noticed, before a mild retort left her. Her own tone was samewhat sarcastic at the end.
"If you are so awesome, why would you need my help? Anyways. No, I won't help you, if you're so awesome, bye."
"Oh, c'mon! I need directions."
"Do you have eyes? There'a a map right over there, and you're staring dead at me. I know you can see. You didn't even introduce yourself, even."
"Fine! I'm Bob."
"Bob?"
"Now, you introduce yourself, miss I criticize everything?"
"First off, you have no idea I'm a 'Miss,' thank you very much. Second, name's Takara, and I was having a good day."
"OHHHH what happened? I'm sorry 'boutcha ruined day, what happened?"
"You. You, are what happened. Now, what?"

By now, Takara was flooded with annoyance, and twitched her ear. Her tailtip flickered about like an angry cat's. She was vru irritated by now, but still, took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself a bit. As she did so, she noticed this "Bob" person hesitating, and kicking a rock. What could be so aweful, that he would be procrastinating telling her, Takara wondered?

"I want to ask a girl out for the first time." he finally said at last.
"Um... Good for you?" she stated in an off tone, tilting her head. "But what bussiness of this is mine?"
"You're a girl! What would you want a guy you met at a social gathering to, um, I don't know... Ask you out if you didn't know eachother very long?" he was blushing now, as if picturing this special girl.
"Um, I wouldn't. At all."
"Wait, what?"
"Sorry, I can't help you. Bye."

Turning away, Takara honestly hoped things went well for the boy. But in all honesty, she had never been asked that question. And how would she especially answer it? Girls who were friends first... That was her territory with that dating prospect. Not random guys she barely knew. She wouldn't even go out with a girl she barely knew; how could she help him? In all truth, she just didn't want to spoil his chances.

And so, off she went as the sunset, blood pressure evening out once again as she walked into the said sunset, off to find a spot where she could watch the sun bid it's daily farewell to the land. In peace. In quiet. Alone.

( note, Takara is having a "guy" day here, thus why I am using corresponding pronouns c: )

Shimmering sun rays rose in the sky, and as Takara opened up his eyes, they were exposed to this blinding set. His said cerulean optics now stung from these blazing rays, as if to put a damper on the start of his planned day for "chilling," so to say. He vigorously shook his head. Never before had he experienced this sensation! The orange coated being had no idea light could be so painful.

This sensation had to be the most uncomfortable thing he had ever experienced. It was the most uncomfortable thing to wake up to even since that porking, prickling, green thing fell on his tail in the middle of the night when he was just a little kid. Only, this was unremovable. Takara could not see or touch light. What if it never went away?

And what were these... Speckles of light clinging to his vision? Maybe they were the source of his agony, he thought up. Yeah, that had to be it, right? Maybe the light had left a physical object on Takara's eyes. Nothing else could do that... Right? Raising a paw to his face, he tried to reach for the spots. They should be right...

"OW!"

He let out a yelp of pain, followed by weak whimperings that Takara could look at with shame later on. But he didn't expect it! This wasn't fair! They should leave his eyes immediately! These sickos were hurting him! They had no right to be! He wanted to see. He wanted the stinging to be gone. He wanted to be able to focus once more. Like this, there was no way he could do that.

The pain was menacing. The pain was annoying. The pain was... Gone?
The spots were atrociously distracting. The spots were agonizingly worrying. The spots were also... Gone?

Takara took a moment, dumbfounded what had just happened, again? He remembered it so clearly. Yet it wasn't processable. Did that just happened? And, really, what had just happened? Did light attack him and leave him be scar free? Did he just survive a brutal attack? Or, was it all made up up in is head? How many times would he think this before getting an answer? What just happened?

And all this happened in the mere minute of Takara's day.

Ack! They're both of her in a bad mood ;w;

I made the gif, it's my first animated pic cx it took me four days. Lol, so much for taking time on my homework XD
Ack! It originally had a moving tail, too -- I had even had most of the frames for that done -- but after awhile I started to like just her blinking. I felt it kind of a "less is more" thing. I really like how it looks just with her blinking.

The pixel icon is also my first good pixel piece, haha! It took me most of today's time that I was on the computor.

I wound up giving her my exact gender and sexuality XD oops. It's just, for some reason, she kinda reminds me of well... Me. To me, she feels like she'd even have a personality kinda similar to mine in real life, and it's really rare that I see a design that makes me think that -- even if I designed the character!

[wishbone!]

oh wow I'm really excited for the results on this
I know that I most likely won't win because holy biscuits look at all those awesome forms<333

good luck to everybody ^v^

[Kyo]

I messeged CharChar2 the other day and she told me she's extended it up the 15 just so everyone knows ^^

[Charchar2]

Ahhh!! You guys. Q____Q You had SUCH amazing forms. This was incredibly hard to judge and I'm really, /really/ sorry I couldn't give her to each and every one of you, to be honest x'D

I managed to narrow the forms down to Ivyy, Ricecatkyo, Mai-mai-mari, and Akua.
I had an extremely hard to time deciding between these, aaaa ;^;
In the end, I picked the form I picked because it was really enjoyable and realistic for me to read.
The character development was excellent and it was really interesting to watch the Plumerian change throughout
their life ;O;
In addition, the art was simply stunning, and you just seemed overall so dedicated to this girl,
I know you'll give her a great home<3

Again, I truly wish I didn't have to pick a single winner x'D Seriously guys, this was a really close contest,
you all are amazing writers & artists & form-makers, and I wish you luck in future contests! ;///; <3

But, sadly, I do need to pick 1 person to win XD
And that person is ... Ricecatkyo!
Take good care of Sunni <3

There won't be any runners-up; although I'd love to offer some, I really have no inspiration for them based off this
design, and I don't want to give you guys anything less than lovely.

While it's up to you what you do with your art, it would be lovely if you gifted it to the winner! ^_^

[Kyo]

Oh my gosh you have no idea how happy I am right now <33 I was horribly worried last night because some of the parts were not written and I tried as hard as I could to stay awake and finish everything but to be honest I was exhausted and fell asleep and this morning I woke up and thought 'Oh no!" and grabed my phone and saw the title changed and I almost had a heart attack. When I saw my name I couldn't believe it, I am trully shaking with happiness right now. I promise to shower her in love and attention and do the absolute best I can for her. Thank you so much!! <33

[Shadowhunter,]

Eep, congrats! I didn't have time to do art (and figure out how to draw canines creatures, lol) but I'm really really happy she went to a great home! You can expect fan art from me once I figure out how to draw canines hehe.

[wishbone!]

Ooohh take care of this Plumie!
Good job, your form was really amazing :>

[Ivyy]

Aaa your form was so great, I'm glad you won! You can definitely have my art <3 Congrats!!
