Ganymede

Gender;;
male

Name meaning;;
Ganymede was not named for some months after birth. His mother Caer simply called him "babe", and tottered about with his egg and then later with him curled up in her arms. She lived alone, in a cave hollowed into the side of a mountain, and so he found nothing strange with this existence. There was him, and there was her, and he responded to "babe" as well as any child might heed their name.

When he was nearly six months old Caer lay him down beside her and told him about her own father. She said that Aengus told her many great stories but that one in particular had struck her when she'd been young and foolish, and that had been the story of Ganymede.

"The most beautiful viscet the gods had ever seen," she'd murmured into her son's fur, "So handsome that they'd snatched him from the earth so that they could admire him forever in their home."

Ganymede had looked up at her, his pale eyes so like the slow burn of the stars outside that Caer was seized with a sudden desire to brand her boy with this name, with this story. She leaned down farther until their noses were inches apart and said breathlessly, "You'll be my Ganymede, okay?"

He smiled, closed the distance between their snouts and nipped playfully at her ear to rouse her to laughter. "Okay," he said, bright with a child's innocence and joy. "I'm Ganymede then."

As he grew older his beauty became more and more apparent. There was something in the innate softness of his heart that shone in his eyes, in the supple lines of his muscles and back. There was something about the way he moved, about how he stepped over young plants so he wouldn't crush them, how he would right a flower weighted by morning dew or rain. He was so painfully gentle that sometimes Caer couldn't bear to look at him. She understood the gods a little better then, at seeing something so incredible that she had borne.

When Ganymede began meeting other viscets (the first shaky introduction taking place between him and a fierce-eyed, starry-maned viscet who looked at him with intense eyes) he always told them his name was Ganymede. Usually they would not bat an eye for it, but it was the first's reaction that stuck with him, the tilt to their head, the lift of one corner of their mouth. "Ganymede?" They'd repeated, amused. "Like from the stories?"

Ganymede had been thrilled to hear this and it was his name that sparked a friendship between them. Caer, older now and fragile with age, listened to her son regale her with the story of his new friend when he returned home. He still shone and his eyes glittered more than the sun itself, and she smiled quietly while he spoke, nodded when he pressed a salve to the creak of her arthritic limbs and said, "Thank you, Ganymede."

Becoming so beautiful in such way, Making her name fit perfectly. When she was small she soon learnt that her only family that was left was her mother and father, they lived in a polluted human city with animal control after her parents. Animal control In this City was different, They didn't bother tranquilizing strays, but rather just deal with it and get rid of them for sure. Because of this it became her own personal goal to always try and make her parents smile and think about the good things. Days into weeks they would have to go without food, from where they lived there was few plants meaning few bugs and pray. Having to scavenge for food in the foul city. They were too limp as they were to migrate anywhere else. As she grew, Stellarine became quite the scavenger, having to try and find anything for her folks, and still being small gave her the advantage of sneaking around without getting caught.

Name;; Ethereal
Gender;; Female
Name meaning;; Ethereal is defined as "extremely delicate and light in a way that seems too perfect for this world." Ethereal is seen by many as a sort of unattainable viscet, one of beauty and ultimate perfection. In public, perhaps, this is true. She displays herself with elegance and grace, which earns the respect of everyone around her. She seems like a delicate flower, and many viscets would not hesitate to protect her at all costs should she be in danger. This is not, however, her true personality. This cool sophistication is merely a facade, brought upon by years of expectations from her family of absolute perfection. When she is alone, Ethereal is almost an entirely different viscet. This pristine, quiet girl changes into a loud, opinionated viscet with no qualms about making a mess. She is a dork who loves watching sci-fi, and doesn't really like fashion or anything similar- despite how everyone pins her for those kinds of interests. She loves to romp around, and tell jokes that are as mature as a 5 year old human. While her family may not approve of her uncouth behavior at home, her friends who actually know her wouldn't want her any other way.

Name meaning
Yakusoku means "promise" in Japanese

Why This Name?
Yakusoku is a quiet, quaint girl who enjoys the simple things in life. She has an undying love for tea and
the Japanese culture, and dreams to one day go there herself to experience everything she's seen on TV
or read about in books. The country is so different from where she grew up in Scotland with her owner
(that would only be relevant if I won her. If I don't then just assume she grew up somewhere very different
from Japan x3) and although she'd love to see Italy, America and Brazil, she most wants to see if Japan is
as amazing as she's always expected it to be.

Name;; Ida
Gender;; female

Name meaning;; Ida is the name of the gentle mourning king in my favourite folk tale, The Laidly Worm of Spindleston Heugh. He was quick to fall in love and trust even the witch Behoc, and so allowed her to manipulate him - but was never persuaded to violence, even against the Worm that plagued his kingdom. This nurturing, conscientious personality is borne out by the etymological connection of the name to the German id, 'labour, work', to St. Íte of Killeedy, the foster-mother of several saints and renowned for her beauty, gentle speech and musical ability, and to the elf-descended Norse goddess of the apples of youth, Iðunn. The gentle gradients and softness of this Viscet suggest to me these traits - a too-open heart, gentleness, pacifism, a love of song and a dedication to responsibility. She's perfect as the tragic center of some great tale of betrayal and sacrifice, never suspecting a traitor unless directly faced with betrayal. That said, few could hate a Viscet like this one except by virtue of her position or through jealousy. Most characters like this one - Ophelia, Elizabeth Lavenza, King Ida himself - spend their lives devoted to others, passive in almost every aspect, and are doomed to such betrayals by those close to them who, unlike them, value some things higher than loyalty and charity.

Name meaning;; (definition and optional tidbit of personality, up to 500 words).

Aurora's name is quite simple really. For a start, the name alone is the same as the mythical Roman goddess of dawn. I thought the name was quite pretty, and would fit her personality well with it being that of a goddess (she'll be a very sassy, independent girl). Alongside that, I actually took the name from those dazzling natural light shows, Aurora Borealis. It was the first thing that came to mind - I've only seen pictures of them, but they always bear a beautiful combination of various colours - and that's what she looks like to me.

Portia mushed her muzzle into the railing of her tan balcony and looked upwards to the midsummer sky.
"Oh what's in a name?" she spoke quietly to herself. "Everything's taken so literally these days..." She sighed. The thing that bothered the young(well, 18 year old) Viscet was the name she was given. A simple name with a simple meaning. Portia. An offering. A generous girl who loves to give. An offering to the world of her goodness and strong heart, glowing sweetly even in a world such as this. But that is not all she was named for, nor has she never done wrong. She is no goddess.
"Ah, but that's all they can see..." She thought to herself, twirling a large chunk of hair with her paws. "I don't want to be an angel, I want to be a person! I'm not pure, I have my faults... but I at least know them to be mine." Another dainty sigh escapes her lips. Portia, in the writing of Shakespeare, was the wife of an important figure within it. She had the strength and levelheadedness to challenge her husband's words in a time where this was not expected. In another play, Portia was a smart and headstrong girl who attempts to save her husband's friend's life with only her mental strength. Now, they had their share of faults as well. But that did not stop them from being strong, determined, and everything that Portia admires, looks up to, and has become. After running this over again and again in her head, a fire began in her chest that made her angry and unable to control herself. Seemingly without warning, she lifted her head up high and yelled to the world,
"I am the wife of Brutus, who forced hot coals down her throat instead of dying by the hands of my husband's persecutors, and I am the girl who saved Antonio with my wit and determination alone! Why can't you see me for my strength, not only for my kindness! I am-" She pauses.
"Ok, I'm finished!" she yells in a slightly softer voice of defeat. "Got a bit carried away..." she grumbles in her head.
"Well, I know who I am. Isn’t that suitable? There are plenty of people who don't even have that."
She sighed one last time, smiled, and positioned her head onto her closed fist.
"Plus... I smell just as sweet," She whispered, giggling to herself.
