iHolli, but most just call me Holli.

If I were to own this boy, his name would be Ember.

Male

Ember has a big heart and an open mind, and hates to disappoint others, traits which tend to land him in trouble. He is rather gullible and can be easily taken advantage of because of it, no matter how good his intentions are. Ember is also confused easily and can become lost very quickly, but he makes up for this with his excellent sense of direction. Finally, he is rather clumsy, more with words than movements, although he has a bad habit of knocking things over unintentionally.
Ember's nose also proves to be a problem for him- he follows it everywhere, not thinking of what consequences might be at the destination. This is particularly evident in Ember's ability to find fire, be it just a few yards away or several miles, and always feels the urge to see it. He is very drawn to it, though he has no idea why.
Fire may be intriguing to Ember, but one thing has an even more mesmerizing effect on him- rain. The way rain awakes life, its refreshing touch, and its scent make it Ember's favorite thing. When it rains he often visits a city or forest, where he can hear the rain's music the best. And it is not just the rain's music that he loves, but the humans' music as well. Ember particularly enjoys "electronic" music, as he has heard it called, though it does not exactly sound electric to him. His favorite music is, by far, from Owl City- the first song he ever heard, and the only one he can remember every word to, was "Embers."

Oh, where do I start? Well, I am completely new to this species, only having just discovered it. Looking at the front page, this boy caught my eye right away- at first he reminded me of a certain Shadow the Hedgehog.
He does resemble fire to me now, for example an erupting volcano on a dark night, or perhaps a nebula somewhere deep within space, both of which are very intriguing to me. I just love the bright red-orange against the black, and the glow brings out the more firey effects of his pelt, while the stars and beads bring out his space origin. His story of being drawn to Earth is very easy for me to see, for he really does appear as one who would be drawn to something unfamiliar.
He really is just a fantastic guy. He is very easy to put into a story or poem and honestly, he has not escaped my mind since I first saw him. He is certainly something special, and I would be honored to call him mine.

Burning

Fire
Burning bright,
Falling from the stars.
Ever shining
Starlight.

{---}

Spark of Hope

Fur of black and fiery red-
A fire with no thought of dread-
Falling from his heavenly place,
Coming for the earth from space.

Heart aflame with sparked desire,
Kindled curiosity brighter than fire;
Hope that loneliness is past
Sending him to this blue flash.

Centuries of wandering done
Replaced by music's dawning sun;
Here, perhaps, his place will be,
His memories lasting for eternity.

The First Song

Night had fallen only moments ago, the only light coming from the streetlights and the stars. But the darkness did not stop restless Ember; he bounded through the streets, his curiosity of this city overwhelming any urge to sleep. He appeared as a speeding fireball to anyone who glanced his way as he raced past quiet homes, his paws carrying him toward the downtown area. He may not have been on Earth for more than a few days, but he caught on quickly enough to know that, come nighttime, the heart of the town became an exciting and bright place.
Tonight was no exception. However, Ember immediately sensed something different as he entered the main part of the small town he had landed in mere days before. A grin spread across Ember's muzzle as the many colorful lights enveloped him, turning his red-orange markings a thousand shades of pink and blue and green. Sitting down on the pavement, Ember watched the people milling about and having a grand time of themselves. Suddenly he realized what was different about this night as a volley of harmonizing sounds fell on his large, satellite-like ears.
Ember sprang to his feet. The sounds were beautiful in his opinion, and he wanted to find where they were coming from. Twisting his ears to pinpoint the sounds' source, he made his way into a small shop. The large windows boasted decorative lights, signs, and painted designs, yet the inside had a homey feel to it- the walls were painted with a warm, soft shade of yellow and decorated with various objects. Shelves filled with things to be purchased were scattered around the shop. And, most importantly to Ember, the sounds echoed throughout the space. The Yozora Kitsune padded across the carpeted floor to a counter that doubled as a display case for antique items. Looking up, his gaze was met by that of a smiling older man.
"Hello, little one," the man said in a soothing voice.
Ember flicked his ears and, scrambling on top of a few closed boxes, made his way to the top of the counter. He spotted the source of the sounds then, bounding across the glass surface to sniff at the silver box. The sounds were very soft here, but so loud outside... Ember was thoroughly confused. He turned to the man, a questing look on his face.
The man smiled. "You like the music, don't you, pup?" He gave a chuckle, rubbing Ember's head with a gentle finger. "And you must be wondering how it can be so quiet in here but not out there." He pointed to a black box suspended from the ceiling in the center of the shop. "That's part of my stereo system,"he explained. "It's connected to this radio-" here he tapped the silver box- "and it makes music louder. That's how you can hear it outside." The man stopped, shaking his head yet still smiling. "And here I am, talking to you as if you can understand me." He laughed. "Well, maybe you can. After all, you're obviously no ordinary dog."
Ember barked, nodding his understanding. Then he gave a soft whimper; the music had stopped, and he wanted to hear it again. The man pressed a button on the radio, and the music played once more, leaving Ember to listen dreamily.
The words jerked him to attention as they spoke of embers and flames. Ember carefully heard each word then, and before the music stopped again he was nodding his head to the beat, his tail wagging rhythmically.
As the music faded, the kindly shopkeeper stroked Ember's small body. "You must like that!" He said. "I enjoy Owl City's music, too. That song was called 'Embers'." The man took a closer look at Ember then. "Say, pup, you look like a burning ember. I bet that's why you like that song." He took a step back. "Ember...is that your name?"
Ember's tail wagged furiously at this, and he barked his approval, his eyes shining.
That night, Ember not only made a new friend, but also discovered something he would never forget- the power and beauty of music.

.Holli.

Just a friendly reminder that you now have exactly three days left to work with your forms!
Again, if you feel like need more time, just let me know.

[getchoo-XD]

I've got orange and yellow and red too
And my pattern has the look of flames
I look like a fiery guy
But who am I supposed to blame?


I don't like the cold so much
It's just a lot of slushy slush
The heat is what I take best
Instead of a bunch of slushy mush!




Sorry if it's bad.

[Vazchu]

Just a last and final reminder, you have 11 hours to finish your forms!
Sorry about a late reminder, I've been busy all day and forgot the time.
I'll start judging the forms tomorrow morning as soon as I get up .

Edit; I'm now judging the forms! Please do not edit your forms any further!

[Vazchu]

There are three persons, whose forms I was caught deep with while judging this, and I think all three of them deserves to have their name appear in this post of mine. I’m going to give all three of you a comment on your forms first of all, and then it’s time to go through the hard part of telling you all who won this lad.

cℓαяα σsωιη σsωαℓ∂
Your form looked over all gorgeous, it had a very nice layout and it was easy to follow it. By putting the lyrics for “Firefly” in your post I just had to listen to it again.
I liked “extras” you added – what he likes/dislikes and symbols related to his birthday, and especially his background. I can just say that I really enjoyed reading that. The personality you gave him was to me rather unexpected, surely I didn’t doubt the fact that others would notice that he’s based on fire, but to give him a personality based on fire and then tell us all how he ended up like that was something I only dreamed that someone would do. I really liked it and they “melted” like lava together and amazed me to the very last line of your form. To me it made him become alive before my very eyes, which is something I like when people is able to do. As for the name, I can just say that I really like Japanese(or is it Chinese? I can't tell those two languages apart, lol) names (and names that are a little more out of the ordinary), and I thought that Hikaru was a very suitable name for him.

The only thing I missed in your form was the part about why you want him, surely it’s easy to tell that you want him really much – but it would have been fun to know why as well. However, I overlooked the fact that you didn't bring it into your form, because it was so amazingly good without it.

burninflames
I really like the dividers you had in your form; they weren’t too large nor too small and kept everything easy to tell each part apart from each other.
All the “extras” you added were very nice, I especially found that little crush of his very cute (it was rather unexpected after reading the part of him not liking females), and that lady seems to be a rather pretty one based on the art you provided in your form. I think the personality you gave him was very realistic, it gave me the picture of him having “two sides” (more or less), it might not be an all to unique trait – but I can just say that I for one have a weak spot for characters who are like that, because you’ll never know exactly how they’ll react or behave in certain situations. And lastly, the name, Blazie, as you maybe read in my comment for Clara, I like unique names, but then again. I’m not the one who’s supposed to own this fellow after all. And I think you chose a name that went along really well with the picture you gave me as to how he is as a person.

There’s one last thing I’d like to say, and that’s about his likes/dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, fears and secrets. Quite many of those things you wrote there made me very curious (or simply made me react like “Wuut?” when I read it, that was at least my reaction when I saw "oil" under his list of likes), so it would have been interesting to know why he feels like he do towards some of those. Maybe not the most obvious ones, but at least those that aren’t as easy for the one reading to tell how it’s related to him or what you mean with it.

iHolli
I really like the layout you gave your form, it’s eye-catching yet simple. And I really like the small titles you made for each part of your form, sometimes simplicity beats details.
Judging how others write poems and stories has never been one of my strong sides, but I’ve to say just “wow” about yours. First off, the poems – I’ve no words, here I thought that I could write poems, but obviously I’m nothing but a newbie compared to yours. It was easy to tell what you were referring to with them and their flows were catching. As for the story, I really like how you describe things while you write, your words first painted a picture within my mind and then turned the words into a short movie. That personality was really well thought out and I really liked it. Right now I’m even lacking proper words that I want to use to describe how alive you made him appear to me - that's how much I like it. Then you also gave him a name, of course, Ember. Truthfully it’s a word that I’ve always liked, and the way you make him appear to me just makes everything fall in place where it belong, so I can just say that I think it was a good choice.

And as a last and final note for you, I noticed in your story that you made him appear to be rather large – which is something Yozora Kitsunes are not, as it says in the quote from Mihochi in the first post, they’re just two inches large(small?).

But "who won?", you may ask just about right now. I'm done with my comments now, and it's just about time to drop the bomb after more than four hours of judging without a break... I can just say that it has been hard, and I wish that all three of you could win (and I can admit that I will ask if it's possible to make runner ups, because your forms were so amazing and I think you all deserve to win).




Third place goes to...
Burn!




Second place goes to...
Clara!






And finally, the winner is (as you may have guessed)...
Holli!



Congratulations!

[iHolli]

{First things first, about the story; when writing I forgot about the size, and only remembered how small Yozora Kitsunes are after you had closed for judging. I would have fixed it had I remembered sooner, and I will be sure to fix it now.}
{Secondly, I will say I knew my competition were from Clara and burninflames. I liked both forms, and will congratulate you two on placing well and possibly receiving runner-ups, as Vazchu said.}
{Vazchu, I'm flattered by your comments, especially about the poems. I'm glad you liked them, and the other parts of my form. I'm absolutely thrilled that I won Ember, clearly it was a difficult decision for you. I don't know what to say except thank you, and I will do my very best in owning Ember. :3}

Edit;
{I believe I corrected all elements of the story that made Ember seem bigger than he is.}
