Three ravens called upon the night
When new feet stepped into the light,
And nestled up against the trees
They kept close watch o'er the colony
As houses sprung up from the ground
The people worked without a sound
And carefully placed a barricade
To keep all of the outside away
But from the forest an old soul wept
As carelessly the new feet stepped
And sent trees falling from their thrones
While making fires of wood and stones
The old soul left her place in the trees
To beg the new people on hands and knees
And ask them to love the place they called home
And share it with those from long ago
But the people built another wall
From the wood they stole, and they built it tall
And exiled from the home she knew,
The old soul's anger grew and grew
With the moon as her witness, and the stars as her guide
The old soul vowed never to hide
And once more she left her shelter of trees
As a storm started brewing with an unforgiving breeze
In shadows she worked to carve the word
Into the very fence that she had heard
The people building to keep her away
And "CROATOAN" marks it to this day
By morning the colony had disappeared
And empty it remained for years and years
'Til new trees rose and roots grew strong
And ravens welcomed back the old soul with a song

This character is meant to be vague in order to capture and mimic it's inspiration, the lost colony. What is known about her by other Kalons is that she is extremely elusive and keeps to herself. When she is sighted, it as though you've seen a ghost, as many Kalons only know her from legends and nursery rhymes passed down for centuries. Her story has been altered so many times that nobody knows for sure who she is or what she is capable of; what they do know is that in her presence you can feel an energy radiating from her. For some it is calming, for others it is enough to make you freeze in place.

While sightings of her are few and far between, some Kalons have been able to piece her appearance together from consistencies in reported sightings. Her fur is a dull eggplant color, and is often matted with leaves and dirt. Her tail is extra long and bushy with three obsidian stones in the shape of raven feathers. Thorny vines and silver roses adorn her tail and head, though the roses reportedly decay quickly and leave a trail at her heels. Two horns are sprouted from her head and curl around the back of her ears, and a small emerald hangs from a silvery twin that's wrapped around her left horn. Her hair is long and wavy, also matted with twigs and leaves, and it's the color of the thin layer of moss that covers her normally emerald eyes. She is reportedly blind, though it doesn't appear to stop her from travelling from place to place. Many Kalons attribute this to a keen sense of sound and smell. Also, many Kalons report that she has three small dots for eyebrows, though many consider this to be a myth, as nobody has ever been close enough to tell for sure. Finally, her most distinguishable feature is the word "Croatoan" displayed on either side of her, which has earned her the name Croatoan among her fellow Kalons.

I just wanted to say thank you so much for this opportunity! I've never owned a Kalon before (I only discovered them around a week ago, if that) so this means the world to me to be able to try out for one! I also wanted to say sorry if the artwork/prettying up isn't that great. I only stumbled upon this yesterday, and I wanted to focus more on her story/background! Plus, it doesn't help that my artwork isn't that great to begin with D:.
Anyways, good luck to everyone who entered! I've been browsing through some of the forms, and they're absolutely lovely ;u; <33
