"Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day."
Maria;;
I've never wanted a Kiamara more than I want Maria. She is the Kia that I have dreamed of obtaining, ever since I saw her. Now, since she is up for a good owner, I want to prove that I will be the best I can be. Everything about her inspires me- I could see myself doing so much with her. She would be majorly spoiled by me, as well as anybody here, since she would be my first Kia.
Username;;
Hi there! I'm Squid! Most people call me Squiddy, so feel free to call me that if you like.
"I'm a major plant lover. I even have my own little garden, as well as file folders and notebooks of things I notice about the plants. I guess everybody has that little subject that peaks their interest." By me.
Name;;
"I'm Maria! I love my name, and I'm quite proud of it too, so please only call me that."
One of Maria's main pet peeves is when people call her something other than Maria. She is proud of her name and loves it, so being called anything else really ticks her off.

Humble
~~~~~
Maria is definitely shy around new Kia's. She is bashful and may come off as snobby, but really is just shy. Around newcomers, she is uncertain of herself and speaks very quietly. But once she gets to know people, she loves to talk and is very social with them. It is said that she seems like a different Kia before and after the first few months of knowing somebody. Despite what many Kiamaras may think after meeting her for the first time, Maria is a glass half full kind of girl. Instead of looking at what she doesn't have or what she wants, Maria tries to constantly look on the bright side. She has two mottos she really likes to say, one being, "Each cloud has a silver lining," and the other being, "Every day may not be good, but there's something good in every day." She encourages others to do the same as her, and her main goal in life is to leave a positive foot print on the world.
Maria has a few friends, and likes it that way. She needs a close-knit community of friends to comfort her when she is down, and she needs to be able to put herself to use and return the favor. Having only a few friends suits her well, because too many people all in one place that all want her attention annoy her greatly.
Maria is a natural beauty, a target of jealousy from other Kias. She effortlessly looks stunning every day. Maria never brags about it though; she doesn't even know she is so beautiful. She is very humble about her beauty and refuses to take compliments for it- she simply can't stand to be better than anybody else.
Being humble is another thing Maria is very good at. She hates being complimented and won't take them. She simply counters all of them with a compliment to the person who gave it to her. She is never one to brag about anything, she has never likes it when others do it either. She hates when anybody acts like they are bigger or better than others.
Maria loves to talk about almost anything- especially nature. But really any topic is wide open for discussion with her. She likes to think of herself as a good Kia to talk to when you have a problem, and hopes others feel that way too.
Intelligent
~~~~~
Maria is at the top of her class at school, where she gets mostly A+'s and a few A's. She strives to achieve and hates when a goal isn't reached. Maria needs to have a goal to reach, or she just feels useless and depressed. She works very well under pressure at school and gets most of her work done that way- she always needs to wait until the last minute, or procrastinate, to properly get something done to the best of her ability. Such as doing a whole project the night before it is due or writing an essay in the last five minutes of class.
Besides her book smarts, Maria actually has a lot of street smarts as well. She knows never to talk to strangers and not to get into strange cars, yes, but she is also extremely good with identifying plants and animals. She keeps a little catalog of every type of wild plants and animals are in her area on her at all times, jotting down little notes in the margins on how to improve definitions in the book to more properly suit the animal. She hopes to one day make her own catalog, so for now she keeps little journals and tries to parallel information with her journal, with her books, and real life.
One of her vices is that she always needs to have a grip on things. Without her hold on situations, she feels her world spinning out of control and insecurity steps in, followed by anxiety. As you may be able to tell, Maria doesn't take change very well. She tries to be tolerant about new things, but she is a Kiamara who is very much stuck in the past, in her old ways. She need security to feel 'safe' emotionally.
Loving
~~~~~
Maria has endless love and charity for anybody that needs it. She is a great Kia to talk to when you need somebody. She is like "The Giving Tree" by Shel Silverstein. She keeps giving and giving to people, even when she barely has enough for herself. Seeing the look on people's faces when she has given them what they need is like heaven to her. She aims to please so many people, she often gets overwhelmed. But, like Maria always does, she keeps going until it is done, determined to see each project through to the end. That being said, Maria is not the best at saying 'no' to people, and often bites off far more than she can chew.
This Kia also loves animals and all nature boundlessly. Anything that walks, slithers, swims, or crawls is a friend of her. As a younger child, when kids would try and step on beetles or ants, she would dive in and save them, placing them in gardens or other safe havens.
Maria only sees the best in everybody. In a school bully, she sees somebody in need of help. In a strict teacher, she sees somebody who strives to be good at their job. Seeing the best in everybody helps her to be tolerant of all different people and understand where they are coming from better too.
Maria's face is like an open book. Everybody knows if she is angry or sad, happy or excited. She does a bad job of hiding emotions, and doesn't mind either. She wants people to be aware of how she feels, she is never ashamed of her opinions or feelings.
Maria cannot go a day without her iPod. Music is what gets her inspired and gets her through the day. Every song she sees and likes, she instantly buys for her iPod. Music gets her up when she is down, and just the sound of music in her ears in enough to get her through a really rough day. You could say Maria has a musical soul. She attempts to write love songs, but really only gets the beat down before she gets bored. Song writing just isn't her thing, she can never keep her head in it, although she loves listening to songs. Sometimes, she will start randomly doodling when a song is playing, and if the music turns off, she just can't find the inspiration to keep drawing it. She is very music oriented. Even when she was little, her parents would play little songs for her in her crib.
This Kiamara is a romantic at heart. She has this little journal where she writes love poems, notes to her crush, and love stories. If not a plant journalist, Maria would want to be a romantic book author. She hopes for true love someday, and has this picture of a perfect life in her head. Maria always does have a big picture in her head, of her perfect future; job, mate, house, friends, children. She wants a storybook life, with perfect everything. That is a big reason she can't take change. Just a simple change could shatter the entire picture she has painted for herself.

Fanforum;;
Yes, I do! =) My name is Squid! on there too, but I'm not too active because I don't have a Kiamara yet :C I will be a lot more active once I obtain a Kia. Mainly on the Kiamara Fan forum I just browse and admire how well everybody takes care of their Kias. I hope that someday soon I will be able to really join the fan forum and be a big part of the Kia community.
Role Playing;;
Of course! I love RP'ing, and I'm currently in a few. Having a Kiamara to RP with would be very fun. Then, as I RP'ed, I would be able to expand on her personality. I have been in countless RP's, and I've mastered everything from semi-literate to free style. I am currently in five role plays; enough to keep me entertained and to learn more styles, but still not so much, so I can focus on every character I RP with. I stay active in all RP's I am in and I love to expand my characters personality as I go. I am interested in trying to get Maria a mate, and role playing with other Kias would help her to meet a perfect one. I role play a lot, I would make many posts, so Maria would be nice and involved. I would make sure that Maria is completely involved in the Role Play.
"Just going on my way." By me C:
Favorites;;
Color- "My favorite color would probably be lime green. It is a beautiful, bold color that stands on its own. It also looks great with other colors too. I think that is what I like about it- how it can be independent and can be paired up with others."
Food- "My favorite food... hmmm... Gosh, there is so many to choose from. But I guess I would choose molten lava cake, because its just so chocolaty and rich. I like the different textures too- how its got solid cake on the outside and chocolate sauce on the inside."
Job- "I would love to be a nature magazine journalist. I love to write about plants and animals. But I would have to work on my shyness around new people, because I would have to ask experts about certain plants and such. Besides being a nature journalist, I would definitely want to be an author. I love to write stories, romantic stories especially. I actually have a few I would like to publish. I'm really good at coming up with different themes for them too. You know how predictable love stories can get."
Season- "My favorite season is summer. Then, I'm free to fill up my agenda with things I want to do. Plus, I love the warm summer sun on my fur. It feels good. Trips to the beach with some friends are always nice too. Drinking slushies, finding shells, swimming, sun bathing. Yup, definitely summer."
Time of Day- "I love love LOVE sunrise. When I was younger and got up earlier, I would climb up to the roof before my parents woke up and sit there until the sun came up. I love how it paints the sky all those pretty colors. It looks really majestic. But now, I value sleep too much to get up so early."
Holiday- "Besides my birthday you mean? Haha I guess I would have to say Christmas, just because of all the great feelings in the air. Everybody is happy and bustling around and it always manages to get me in the spirit. I really like when my family comes together and celebrates too. Its one of the only times my whole family is all together."
Instrument- "I'm not sure how to play it, but I love the sound of the bass guitar. It hits all the right notes."
Drink- "Well, I really like smoothies. Any flavor really- raspberry, banana, mango, kiwi especially. I like how they are so fruity and smooth in your mouth."
Candy- "I would most likely choose gummy bears. Or anything gummy-related. Peach rings, Cabbage Patch Kids, Swedish Fish, I love them all. My mom sometimes comes home from work with little packages of gummies for me. I'm not sure why I love them so much."
Memory- "My favorite memory by far would have to be the first time my father took me out fishing. I caught a very large fish, and he told me to reel it in and kill it for dinner. But I said no. I didn't want to hurt the fish. So eventually he let me put the fish back into the water. It was the day that I really realized that I love animals and I won't hurt them intentionally, ever. It was also the day that I learned how I will stay true to my values, no matter what, even If it means I have to speak up to my dad about it. Ever since then, I have thrown all the fish I have caught back, no matter what."
Animal- "Sea turtles are just precious. They are peaceful and it's interesting to me how, when they are babies, they have to make the long journey from their birth place to the ocean, where they belong. It is really inspiring that they have to make a life or death journey like that."
Book- "My favorite book is 'To Kill A Mockingbird.' Although it is an older read, I strongly believe in the message of tolerance and acceptance. The ending is very sad and always makes me cry, but I continue to read it over and over."
Movie- "I really enjoy watching 'Finding Nemo.' It always gives me the same comfort I felt when I watched it as a little kid. I keep the DVD in my dresser for days when I'm feeling sad and need a little pick-me-up."
