*gasp* a recording device! I can use this for um.... a diary thing! OK, OK here we go-
My name is Fauna, I'm a girl Parrapup, and my favorite song is In the hall of the mountain king by Edvard Grieg. OK then! Done with the basics, How 'bout I tell you more about myself then. Like I said, I'm Fauna and I've lived in the Phoenix Manor my whole life, oh and speaking of phoenixes, everyone says I look like one (well, I think they would at least), but that's silly. Anyone can see I look more like the firecracker peacock that's on those boxes of fireworks in the backroom, I actually sewed up a plush version of it, I might get more on that later. Now what as I talking about... oh yeah! So, Phoenix Manor, my home sweet home. I've lived here longer than I can remember, and it's really nice, if not a little bit lonely. There's a library I can just sit in for hours, reading any kind of book I want, a garden full of flowers and hedges that I learned how to tend for from books in my library, my favorite would either be the bush with golden and blue flowers that attract butterflies, or the really big hedge I made to look kind of like me. I mean it's not the best likeness of me, but I made it so I'm pretty proud. I spend my days doing anything I can either think of or find in my books.

Reading, making art, practicing swimming in the Manor's pool, tending the gardens,
cleaning, singing, sewing,
dancing, playing video games (but only sometimes), playing any instrument I can find,
readi- no wait I said that, talking to Crackers,
working on the fireworks in the backroom, flying (but never too high),
I've learned to balance on my hind legs pretty well
after a few weeks of practice (it's useful for reaching extra high books,
It's not like I can fly indoors, that's rude), pottery, and reading.

I think that's enough about where I live, how about I talk about *looks around* oh! MY floaty rocks! They actually aren't magic or anything silly like that, they're just pretty colored magnetic stones. I found them when I was really little, just a little fledgeling (I may actually have pictures around here) and was first exploring the Manor, I just thought they were fancy rocks, I didn't know they were magnetic so I just kept them in a stack by my bed. I discovered they were magnetic after I fell off a ladder. Long story short, I now have metal in between my shoulders and there were no ladders in the Manor for a few years. So yeah, on the first night after getting all patched up, imagine my surprise when I was just laying in bed and the rocks just flew over to me and started hovering over my back! I liked them so I've kept them ever since. What else to talk about, hmmmm... I know, Crackers! Crackers is the stuffed firecracker peacock I made when I was little. I've improved him a whole lot since then, actually looks more like the picture on the box than a blob with two pieces of fabric stitched on for wings. I talked to him when I felt alone, and I still do sometimes, but not as much as I did as a fledgeling. He's kind of like my security blanket, and also my literal blanket because of how I made his tail, Here let go find him. .... OK while I was gone I thought of something to talk about, HALLOWEEN! this year will be my first Halloween that I actually went trick or treating instead of staying in and watching all the other Parras. I've been so excited that I've made tons of costumes, I'm having trouble picking which one to wear! Uh oh, I think I'm running out of battery power (I'll have to find a book on how these work), well anyway I'll have to do this again, bye!

About Fauna

Likes

Dislikes
mean people- Fauna's only real link to society may have been
books, but she still has a strong moral code and can tell right
from wrong.
Liars- Fauna can't stand it if someone is lying or withholding
information from her (unless it's for a birthday party, she's
read about those and they seem pretty fun).
Scary things- While she isn't afraid of the dark, Fauna can be
startled if one so much as makes a noise while she's reading a
scary story.

Reading- Fauna spends whole days curled up in the library reading as many books as she can. She reads any kind of book, and it would be hard to pick a favorite, but if she had to Fauna would pick non-fiction books.
Learning new things- Fauna loves learning about everything in the world around her, especially nature, activities to do, and places.
practicing her hobbies- Most of Fauna's time is spent mastering many things she read about in her books. most of them may be useless, but some may actually come in handy during a situation.

[Doesn't need protection] Fauna is sweet and innocent, but that doesn't necessarily mean that she is naive. She's lived alone for her whole life, and has read many books on the art of combat, so she can take care of herself if anything happens.
[Fire abilities] Fauna understands that it is unusual for a parrapup to have powers of any kind, but she doesn't feel that her abilities make her any different from the others. She mostly uses her abilities to make light to do something by (mostly reading).
[flying] While she does practice flying, she doesn't do it very often, and she never flies higher than the mansion. So while she can make short flights, she can't fly too high, or in any negative weather conditions (except gentle snow).
[Being alone] Since she spent her whole life alone, she tends to talk quite a bit when there is anything she can talk to, and if there isn't she's perfectly content with talking to herself or inanimate objects. She now's full well they're fake, but it make's her feel more comfortable.Despite this there are times when she mutters to herself without knowing it.
[friendly] Fauna is very friendly to those who are friendly to her, love's using her learned skills to help others, or just to be kind.
[Quirks/habits] Fauna tends to do little dances or sing under her breath whenever she's fully absorbed in something, others may find her odd because of it.
[age] Fauna is in her late teens (18-19).
[Phoenix Manor] Fauna is the current occupant of Phoenix Manor, a large manor that everyone thinks is abandoned. But some fledglings say that late at night,you can see flickering lights, like fire, and on stormy nights, there are colorful lights above it, almost as if someone's lighting off fireworks. They say that it's the spirit of the Manor's old owner, or that it's the ghosts of the Parrapups who died in the making of the huge mansion, or that it's the actual Manor. Well, whatever you believe, no one dares to go near it.

PSYCHOLOGY


• fears
-arachnaphobia - fear of spiders
-aquaphobia - fear of water
-apiphobia - fear of bees
-arachibutyrophobia - fear of peanut
butter sticking to the roof of your mouth
• secrets
-he secretly loves to dance like a dork
-he hates anything involving peanut butter
-he snores. loudly. he actually avoids sleeping
near anybody just so they wont learn how
incredibly loudly and sloppily he sleeps.
• groups or alone
nick goes back and fourth here. sometimes
he loves to be alone, yet other times he
strives for companionship. whether or not
he wants to be with other parras is dependent
almost solely on his current mood.
• leader or follower
when he strives for companionship, he is the
one to initiate conversation and heavily
prefers to lead. however, if someone else
steals his leadership title from him, hes
too much of a chicken to steal it back.
• ambitions
nick strives to overcome his hatred of
peanut butter. it may seem odd, but he
has basically everything hed ever want and
his only true hatred is for peanut butter.
getting over this is his only prevalent ambition.

THOSE STONES

so, the thing youve been waiting for.
some info on those odd stones. well, when nick
was a youngun, he wasnt exactly what youd call
special. he sported the tan fur and orange markings,
yes, but he was a completely ordinary parra.
until he found the stones. see, those stones
are actually ancient treasures. nick was out
on his own adventuring one day when he found
the stones grouped together in an ordinary
tree stump. naturally, his curiosity took over,
and as soon as he touched them, he was
transformed into the parra you see before you.
it gave him a godlike affinity for fire, including
that magical ability to conjure up wings at a
moment's notice. hes always been curious about
the stones.. and why they transformed him. but
alas, he has never been able to figure it out,
and has cast the incident aside and rubbed it
off, declaring it was simply the work of fate.
hes read book after book, and the only
information on the stones he was able to
find said that they are literally glassy shells
containing something that is apparently
lava. the glass on the outside not only
gives the stones its glossy finish, but
also cools the lavalike substance
tremendously and makes it touchable.
nick has become infatuated with these
stones and questions about what they
have to do with him have kept him up
many sleepless nights.

BASICS

• name
phoenix

• pronunciation
fēniks (fee-nicks)

• origin
in mythology, it is a unique bird
with flaming wings. it can also
be used to refer to a person
regarded as unique or even
remarkable in some aspect.

• nickname
ironically, his only 'nick'name
is "nick".

• gender
i can only see this parrapup
as a male.

• song
animal crossing new leaf 2am music

• why
like nick, this song, though
instrumental, is upbeat and
quirky. my choice of song was
meant to symbolize personality
in such a way that words arent
needed to get the main idea.
