Hello, I'm kiokami

Name:


Dyan; meaning divine, heavenly

Gender:


Female

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Favorite flavor:

Dyan grew up on a small farm. Her childhood was spent running around the farm, chasing the birds and picking fruit off of her family's specialty crop: cherries. She lived her life in the cherry groves. Her favorite food, however, was not actually the succulent fruit -she disliked the pits- but instead the cherry pie her mother would cook. Of course, everyone knows that cherry pie is best eaten warm. In the heat of the summer, warm cherry pie was always just too hot. Summer begs for cold desserts, not for warm pies! What ever was Dyan to do?
It was at a local county fair when she discovered the glorious solution: she stumbled into a stall where someone was pouring red stuff over...what was that, ice? The smell hit her nose a moment later. Cherry! She waited in the short line, trying to see what exactly this stuff was. When she got to the front, she handed over the money, and was soon cradling a cherry snow cone in her small paws. The moment of truth: Dyan took a bite of the chilly dessert.
It was delicious.
Since that day, Dyan has been living off of cherry snow cones- a solution to the dearth of pies in the summer, and ode to her family's cherry-making history. The sweetness of this dessert never fails to make her smile, and always reminds her of her home, even these years later.

Favorite flavor/s:
Blue Raspberry, Watermelon, and Banana.


Memories is what it's all about. In a big city, yet they miss the little things back in the days that was taken for granted.

-

Being out in a tiny garden where two bushes grow; picking ripe, sweet smelling, and slightly tangy raspberries of of them and popping them right into your mouth.

-

Going to a small town community picnic and seeing the mass of tables heavy laden with tons of fresh, neatly cut watermelon with their juices already pooling at the bottom of their containers, going down a funnel and dripping in a large batch to sun tea to further flavor it for a refreshing respite from the heat.

-

A special time near the beginning of summer, at a certain store, huge crates of fresh bananas could be bought. A whole family being in the kitchen, working together, to: peel, slice, and bag most of the bananas before putting the bags into the freezer. The rest to be divided up to be eaten fresh or dehydrated to make banana chips. The frozen bananas to be eaten on throughout the summer, either frozen as they are or blended up with other ingredients into a smoothie.

Favorite flavor/s:
Mint Chocolate + cherry

"He loves the odd mixes of flavors. Some may see this as a bit odd, but for an snow cone expert, it is only natural to fancy endless combinations. These connect two that cross his childhood (Cherry) with his adulthood (Mint chocolate chip). He himself shows his love for the cool, taste delights. Just look at him!"

Gender: Female
Favorite flavor/s: Rainbow Snow cones have been her favorite. She really loved all the flavors. But rainbow would be her top favorite! Something about sherbet was that she just loved a mix of things. She didn't know why but mixing flavors was just well a thing that came to her, and that she loved doing for some odd reason! Hot summer days would be a-ok with a snow cone in the hand.

(Edit, I edited this so many times to make it look good, I kept looking at was like AHH I NEED TO FIX DIS XD )

Name: Janichi
Gender: Female

Favorite flavor: Janichi always loved the tart and juicy taste of cherries as a child. Cherry trees grew abundantly in the backyard of Jan's house and blended with the hundreds of thick oak trees. She would constantly explore the seemingly infinite forest, yipping and barking as her paws carried her through the trodden path created by years of running the same route. In the spring, around April, pink and white blossoms would appear on the trees. The blossoms would fall like fresh snow, littering the ground with bright petals.

However, as beautiful as this season was, the best season was during the summer. In July, Janichi would climb the sturdy oak trees and pluck the ripe cherries from the top of the cherry trees. Most of the bottom cherries were devoured by bugs and birds, but Jan knew that the most delectable fruit grew on the top and innermost branches of the bearing trees. Summer was also the time in the summer for cool treats, such as frozen ice cream or homemade snow cones. Snow cones were a treat Jan adored and devoured whenever her mother offered. At the time, Janichi's favorite flavors were orange and mango. She loved the chill of the ice mixed with the citrus and tropical taste. The garish orange only added to her delight.

As years passed, this perfect world began to appear as though it would last forever, however when Jan just recently turned 12, she saw in a flash how easily her perfect reality could crumble. Summer nights in the south are usually accompanied by thunderstorms because of the harsh temperature change. In late July, Janichi heard the familiar powerful strike of each thunder and the blinding electrical flashes from outside her bedroom window. She silently wished for rain since there was an ongoing drought at the time but generally paid no mind to the storm. Suddenly, a flash outside was followed by an ear-bleeding crack. A proliferation of an orange glow grew outside her window along with sounds of creaks and crackles. Jan felt a stab deep inside her chest as she realised this color could only mean one thing, and she ran to her window sill to confirm. A mix between a gasp and a scream emitted from Janichi's mouth as she reconfirmed the light was a forest fire, and there was nothing she could do.

After that incident, Janichi began to hate the color orange. The trees that were once apart of a lush forest now lay as pitiful burnt remains. She longed to climb the strong oaks and pick the berries from neighboring trees. She longed to run through the forest with a thick, leafy canopy overhead. The glorious nature Jan once felt apart of was stripped away from her soul. It took more than a year to recover from grief, but she showed full recovery by the time tree sprouts started to grow back. However, when Jan's mother asked what flavor snowcone Janichi wanted the next year, Jan found herself saying "cherry", and keeping it that way for she still longed the taste of the fruit from her beautiful blooming cherry trees.

"Horchata and Silver Fox are the only two snow cones that can match
my very selective tastes. With creamy vanilla and almond and Horchata
having a pinch of cinnamon, it's the greatest combo ever! You could
almost say I'm...Nutty for them! Hahaha! In a way, I can kinda relate
to them. They're sweet but, a bit quirky with their crazy humor and
slightly serious mind. All these traits are represented by the flavors:
sweet vanilla, nutty almonds, and serious cinnamon. I see myself the
same way, but some can't get past my silly jokes and corny humor.
Yeah, it's kinda my hobby to give personality traits to snow cone flavors.
I've been doing that since my first snow cone. They're kinda like my
own little Snow Squad, individual traits and all. So, in conclusion, that's
why I like them so much!"

Name: Hotaru, a loose translation meaning 'Firefly'
Gender: Male
Favorite flavor/s:Pink Cotton Candy and Watermelon

- - - - - -

Hotaru was born on the so called 'sunny side' if you will. His whole life was spent being a slave to the heat, and he despised it. Even after almost 16 years living there, his body temperature refused to conform, and continued to rise, almost as if he was Melting like a block of ice in the afternoon sunlight. (basically the reference is that since he was in the hot climate, his pattern somehow or another managed to mimic a melting snowcone, hence the melting/dripping like pattern found on the plumie <3 ) He tried many different ways to try and stay cool, icecream, pools, fans, even accidentally locking himself in a freezer once, but none appealed to him. That is until he bought a snow-cone."One taste and I was in paradise.... The sweet cotton candy flavor clashing with the tangy, fruity watermelon... mmmmmmm." He says, licking his lips slightly and closing his eyes. "I-uh... I have to-to go buy... something......... now" He excuses himself before literally running out the front door and disappearing around the corner.

Name: Ysa Bael Dyad
Gender: Genderfluid
Favorite flavor/s: Coffee, Coco-banana, and Homemade ice cream

Ysa was born with a milk allergy, meaning she can't consume most natural components within dairy. Instead she must do with alternatives, and she's completely fine with that, and although soy icecream satisfies it's slight aftertaste has Ysa cringing.

She's not really one for snow cones in actuality, she got over them a long time ago, she likes them more for sentimental value than for what they were made for. Ysa had tried shaved ice before, of course, in its most natural form, where it was called shikashika, and where it was made from mountain glacier ice. Bolivia, her homeland had much more fruity tastes but her favorite flavor as a kid, trying them out for the first few times, was coffee, because her mother wouldn't let her try actual coffee. It was an accomplishment for a young kid, finding a loophole, even if it had her shuddering at its brazen taste.

She didn't even like its taste, she just liked that she had sneakily done something she wasn't supposed to. When she and her family moved to the Americas she tried snow cones for the first time with a new name, it was at her first pride parade, she was still figuring things out, and there she was presented with a unique flavor called coco-banana, for the unique experience. Afterwards she bought her own snowcone machine and syrups, and using saved up ice from when the price of ice fell as summer came, she'd make some snow cones every other day.

A few years later, his snowcone machine hiding in his closet, Ysa came upon the homemade ice cream flavor, it was something he had to try... which may seem quite obvious to him considering his intriguing allergy. It didn't have that awkward aftertaste that soybean ice cream did, and it had been a few years since he had eaten snow cones, mainly because in the years of the past he had had such an abundance of them a break was needed.

It was in a small shop, right off the corner of Canada, when she saw the syrup and bought a bottle. Over the summer, wile traveling to see the mountains of Canada she'd find clean, purely untouched patches of snow hidden out and take in the taste of homemade icecream and the chill of snow.

The taste, texture and smell of snow cones have gotten somewhat old for Ysa, but she still thinks about when she used to eat them. Nowadays she gets maudlin at the thought.
