~ Pebble ~ Female ~ Pansexual ~

Personality:

Pebble is a creature of simplicity, extremely easy-going and content with life ninety-nine percent of the time, the one who's happy just to sit back and enjoy the ride wherever it takes her. She rarely complains or finds it hard to get along with someone, some like to joke that she must be a robot. However, she is at her happiest when in nature, and you can see it in how bright her eyes get and her smile is just a little wider. She prefers being alone to being in a crowd, although she'd never tell others to leave. Although it pains her to admit, she is a bit of a 'doormat' who's willing to let others walk all over her for their own happiness, even if it means she gets hurt in the process. Due to this, not everyone around her is a true friend, but sometimes those who just want to take advantage of the help she's always willing to give when they can't find it elsewhere. She's bright and optimistic, a true ray of sunshine.

Likes:
~ Old records
~ Smoothies
~ Shiny things
~ Fish (as pets, not food)
~ Notebooks
~ Making homemade jewelry

Dislikes:
~ Huge crowds
~ Overly loud noises
~ Bad weather
~ Ants
~ Snow
~ Awkward silence

The creek babbled noisily as she slowly and carefully made her way over the slick, gray rocks that created an almost perfect pathway to the other side. Pebble could hear other Deersserts chattering just slightly over the rumble of the clear water, but she pushed the sound from her mind until all she could hear was the nature around her. She'd been at the picnic long enough, now it was time to escape to her own idea of an oasis - out here, where the trees filtered the light into beautiful shadows beneath her hooves and she could hear animals calling faintly to each other from the branches high above her head, just flashes of fur and feathers as she glanced up to seek them.

Out here, somehow, she felt more like herself than anywhere else. When she was surrounded by the others with smiles that didn't quite reach their eyes and overly excited voices over mundane sorts of conversations, it was almost like someone was playing a joke on her by putting her somewhere she clearly didn't belong. She liked them well enough, but they weren't genuine in the way that nature was - it didn't know any other way to be!

Once in a while, a leaf would flutter down, and Pebble saw that the transition was starting, the leaves slowly changing from their slick green to crunchy orange, yellow, red. Her favorite time of year was fast approaching. Even though she adored summer with it's fruits and sunny skies, or spring with it's beautiful flowers, there was something about fall. It was so peaceful. Fewer deersserts ventured outside, there was less bad weather than spring's showers or summer's days when it was almost too hot to set foot anywhere outdoors. Even the animals seemed to be shushed just a bit, too busy preparing for winter's long days to bother those who just wanted to stroll.

On those sorts of days, she'd gather up a notebook and some snacks into a backpack and just go. It didn't matter where, she'd wander off into lands unknown until she found somewhere suitable. If she was feeling up to it, she'd even bring some supplies for making jewelry, and let nature inspire her choices in beads and such.

No one ever found her in those spots, like magic had somehow sealed her off from the real world for just a few blissful minutes. Like it knew she needed a quick recharging so she could be the sweet, happy to help deerssert that everyone else needed her to be. Not that she minded, it just got tiring sometimes, and this brought her back to full charge quick. She'd come back with a few new stories, or a bracelet, smiling from ear to ear like she'd won the lottery.

On principle, she never told a living soul about any of those spots.

Short Story:
Aderyn gently floated to rest atop a tall tree near a busy highway. She chirped happily, glancing about her new surroundings. Recently kicked out of her home by deforestation techniques by the humans who dwelled too close to her for her liking, she knew she'd have to move on and find a new abode to live in. She tilted her head sideways as she observed a car swerving on the road below. Shifting her feathers, she braced herself against the tree, the wind picking up from the traffic below. Her red eyes slitted against the pine-scented breeze.
Movement down below caught her attention. She frowned as she saw a tawny pelt disappear into the bushes. Aderyn flitted down and landed gently on the ground, sniffing around for food she could forage for. A snapping twig to her left caused her to spin around in fear, fluffing up her feathers as she prepared for a fight.
A mountain lion stared right at her.
She narrowed her eyes. "Whatchyu starin' at, kitty cat?" she threw out, standing on her rear legs to make her appear bigger.
The cougar just rolled her eyes. "What's it to you, weirdo? What are you, some sort of ugly duckling?"
She snorted in anger. "At least I'm better looking than you, stupid little housepet."
"I'm not a housepet, you moron. Besides, you're in my territory, birdie. Get outta here!"
"Oh, this is YOUR turf? I would never have guessed by the dismal state of things."
The cougar simply huffed and leapt off, not bothering with the stinging reply that died upon her tongue.
Aderyn smiled. "Success," she muttered under her breath, turning back to the bush ripe with blueberries. Her smile deepened as she feasted upon the rich flavors that burst in her beak.
Movement registered dimly in her skull. She heard leaves shuffling, and leapt out of the way just in time. The cougar had turned back and soared through the air straight at her! Aderyn fluttered up to a tree branch and stared down at the large cat, anger furrowing her brow. "I thought we were done here, kitty," she spat.
The cougar merely sat at the bottom of the tree and washed her paws. "Why is it that you seem to hate me so? Isn't it I who should hate you for encroaching on my territory, little birdie?" The malice in her voice was gone, and was replaced by a calm demeanor. Clearly she'd cooled off before coming back to fight a little more fairly.
Aderyn glared at her for a few moments before haughtily throwing back, "None of your business."
"Then I'll ask you kindly to leave. If you don't go willingly, I'll force you out myself," she said through gritted teeth as she unsheathed her claws.
Aderyn sighed. "Fine, fine. I'll leave you be. I just wanted a place to finally be my home."
The cougar glanced up. "I have a den not far from here. If you promise to not be such a jerk in the future, I'll gladly let you stay a few nights until you're able to find a better place on your own."
Aderyn frowned, a cautious look crossing her features. "Do you really mean that?"
"Of course. My children would be delighted to meet you."
Aderyn flitted up to a higher branch before responding. "You sure they want to MEET me, and not EAT me? I am a bird, and you're a cat, after all."
The cougar shrugged, getting back to licking her paws. "You're not my type, anyways. I prefer juicier meals than a scrawny bit of nothing like you."
Aderyn bristled at the insult, but as she glanced at the sinking sun over the horizon and felt the chilly wind pick up once more, she decided she'd better play it safe now than be sorry later. "Fine, then. But only for a few nights." She flitted down and landed atop the cougar's shoulders. "Lead the way, I guess."
The cougar chuckled as she plodded onward through the underbrush. "Now I KNOW that I won't be eating you. You really don't weigh much at all, do you? What a precious little creature you are."
"I don't like your demeaning tone," Aderyn muttered.
"I'm simply wondering what it is you actually eat. How do you stay so thin?"
Aderyn smiled at the almost-compliment the female cat sent her way. "I don't eat much. Berries, mostly. Sometimes seeds or bark, if I can find them or strip them from trees."
"Ah, that's why you're so puny. I eat meat, as do my children. It's how we get big and strong."
"Strong, yes, but slow? Also yes. I'm faster than any of your children, guaranteed. Comes from eating a vegan diet."
The cougar chuckled. "Who knew such a birdbrain could have a good sense of humor?" She shook her head, darting underneath a particularly thick bush before she stopped, motioning with her tail to a small divet in the ground. "That's the cave. It's underground, that way hunters can't find my family here."
With a quick scenting around the opening, Aderyn landed at the feet of the female cougar. "Where's your mate? I only smell young ones, as their scent is strongest near here."
The cougar sighed. "Men don't tend to stay around much in these parts. I'm raising them by myself."
"My condolences."
"Oh, he ain't dead. He's just a deadbeat." She shook her head and lightly shoved Aderyn forward. "You'll have to walk a bit on those tiny legs of yours to even get down to the cave. We best get moving."
They walked down into the darkness below, following a well-worn dirt path. Adie ducked low, her ears scraping the top of the cave as they tilted ever downward.
They walked in silence for a bit, until Aderyn decided to ask more questions of her newfound roommate. "What's your name, anyways?"
"I'm Adelaide, though most call me Adie. What's your name?"
"Aderyn. Just Aderyn."
Adie nodded. "Lovely name."
"Yours is, too."
"My children have nice names, too, even if one of them was named by the sire." She shook her head. "I refuse to even call him a father, as he's certainly not a good one to my kiddos. Up and left a week after they were born."
"Oh. Well, I mean, my parents died when I was young, so...I understand as much as I can, I guess."
Adie hadn't seemed to hear the bird's response. "Anyways, there's Silas, Melissa, and Carter, my adorable three cubs. I love them each so very much. They have brought me much joy in a time of heartache."
"Aw...how sweet. You've got two boys and a girl?"
"No. They're identical triplets - all female." She frowned. "Why did you think-"
"Ah, my mistake," Aderyn interjected. "I assumed that the names you chose were specific to gender."
"Is that what silly stuff birds think about?" mused Adie. "Odd topic of choice, but no, names don't have genders in our world. They're just used as qualifiers or identifiers for whomever it is we're speaking of. Names don't mean a lot around these parts...unless you have a really horrible or funny one, in which case we like to laugh at them."
Aderyn nodded. "Interesting. Our worlds are very...different."
With a roll of her eyes and a flick of her tail, Adie, responded, "Yes. It would seem so."

Time passed. Days turned to weeks, and weeks turned to months. Silas, Melissa, and Carter all fell in love with Aderyn. Soon the bird found herself a part of a new family. They knew not to bite on her wings too hard or to roughhouse too harshly with her frail body. They loved her as if she was another sister to them, and soon Aderyn's hard outer shell cracked and broke away. She found herself happier than she'd ever thought possible.
One night, she was out looking at the stars. Movement from the mouth of the cave caught her attention. She turned back and smiled as Adie exited, a mouthful of leaves soon dropping to the ground next to Aderyn. "Need any new bedding tonight? I know you must be tired of sleeping on fur, after all these months..."
Aderyn simply smiled, her face significantly looking softer and plumper after all these months of eating well and having some calm in her normally stressful life of scavenging. "Thank you very much. I do need a chance, even though it has been quite nice having your fluffy extra fur clumps to sleep on." With a pause, she jokingly threw back, "Well, as long as they weren't furballs, anyways."
Adie rolled her eyes and lightly placed her paw on top of Aderyn's head, ruffling her head feathers. "Stupid birdie. You know good and well I've never given those to you! If they were furballs, you'd know them by the smell alone."
Aderyn nodded. "True that," she said, grimacing at the memory of the time Carter had gotten sick and created several furballs by coughing everything up...all for several nights. The entire cave had reeked, and the memory wasn't a pleasant one.
She rolled her eyes again and lightly shoved the bird over. "You silly goose." As she stared at the sky, she commented, "The stars are rather bright tonight."
"Yeah, that's why I'm out here. They're pretty."
"Speaking of...shouldn't a good-looking bird like you go out and find a mate at some point? I get that you're waiting until Fall arrives and Winter passes into Spring, but shouldn't you...I dunno...at least be planning ahead?" Adie tilted her head. "I knew back when I was young all I wanted was a family. Even though it didn't end up the way I'd initially planned it to, I'm still happy I have my great family, y'know. Sometimes heartbreak can be a blessing in disguise," she said, smiling coyly at Aderyn.
The bird merely shrugged. "I'm in no hurry to leave. I'd love to stay here with you all. I'm...I'm happy here. I don't need a man in my life to make me happy, because you four have already made me happy." She threw a sincere smile Adie's way.
The cougar smiled back. "Then I suppose you're welcome to stay here just as long as you want...and as long as you're able to fend for yourself. You won't catch me or my children hunting down berries for you or twigs from trees. You'll be fetching those for yourself for as long as you're here. You know we all pull our weight, right?"
"Well, the kids don't actually hunt for their food, sooo..." Aderyn joshed back.
Adie did her signature rolling-of-the-eyes once more before she turned to go back inside the warm cave. "You know very well they will someday. Once they've learned how to catch the live prey I bring home, they'll be out on their own, living their own lives. I hope that day is a long time from now, though. I love them when they're this tiny - much easier to move around, that's for sure!" She paused to laugh, and then continued speaking. "You comin' inside soon? It's chilly out here even for someone like me with all this fur! You've only got scarce feathers there, girlie."
Aderyn nodded. "I'll be in shortly. Just want one more look at the stars."
Adie shrugged. "Suit yourself. We'll be going to bed soon. See you inside."
Once the cougar was out of earshot, Aderyn glanced back up at the stars, a smile alighting on her face, happy tears glistening in her eyes. "Thank you for all of your help, Mama and Papa. I've found what you told me I always could: I've found peace." As she got up and stretched to go back inside, she felt a fuzzy feeling on her leg. With a started look down, she saw a dainty berry vine that had been tied around her wrist. Her smile widened, her dimples showing against her feathers as she looked up at the sky. Small bits of starlight glittered from her bracelet as a few silent tears streamed down her face. "Thank you, Mama. Thank you, Papa. Thank you for your kindness and this beautiful reminder that I can control my own fate, and that I can find happiness wherever I go if I should wish it." She turned and trotted back in the direction of the cave, waving goodnight to the stars before disappearing into the undergrowth.

Name: Donahue Ó Maoilriain
Gender: Male
Name Meaning: Donahue is a name of Gaelic origin, which means "A brave dark warrior." Those with this name tend to be seen as stable, loved beings. Ó Maoilriain is a gaelic last name that is seen as the equivalent of the english name Ryan. The name itself means "king"

Putting it together results in the full name meaning of "A brave dark warrior king." Which ironically, doesn't fit the flighty, fearful deerssert at all. But when a father or mother gives their child a name, they're not quite knowing who the kid will grow up to be, so we'll let it slide.
