what irritates them the most?: Jess gets irritated really easily, at all most everything but what irritates him
the most is when he has to repeat himself, like yes he understands some times people don't hear you the first time but when he has to repeat it the third time that's when he starts getting irritated.

what's their favorite toy?: (at least 50 words)

Sierra’s absolute favorite toy in the whole wide world is her plushie mouse which she found laying on top of an old car when she went exploring in her small town. It gave her comfort to know she has someone to tell all her stories, and someone that will never hurt her. She adores them, and never goes anywhere without them.

what irritates them the most?: The sound of chip bags, or really any bag like that. They absolutely despise the sound of plastic bags and chip bags, the noise grinds on their ears and infuriates them. They can't really ever explain why, other than it just irritates them and makes them cringe. Especially if it's really quiet and you suddenly hear someone trying to open a bag, whether it's a chip bag or a plastic bag, it'll send them into a little meltdown. They'd rather use paper or reusable bags to avoid listening to any plastic bag and if they want chips? Well they'd rather cut the bag open, dump the chips out and put them in a bowl to eat them and store them away in a baggie or tupperware before putting them back in that dastardly chip bag! Or better yet, if it's too much trouble they just won't have chip! (148)

what is their favorite animal and why?: Their favorite animal is a crocodile! Flan finds these modern day dinosaurs to be adorable on all levels, and you can't tell him otherwise. Sure they're not fluffy or anything like that, and yeah you probably shouldn't pet them but he can't help himself! Don't confuse them for alligators, you'll send him into a little rant about why they're different from alligators (while also telling you they're his second favorite)! Despite loving all crocodiles he adores the saltwater variety more than any other and admires how powerful of an animal they really are, able to overtake any animal that enters their territory, including other apex predators. Their strength is something Flan wishes he could possess, he also wishes he could swim like a crocodile, but he's not a strong swimmer in any sense of the word. Take him to an aquarium that has a crocodile and he'll mow down anyone in his way to get as close as he can to watch them. (163)

what's their favorite toy?:
Pascal curled up by his mother's side as his wide green eyes took in his bright, colourful surroundings.
His parents, uncommonly clad in an equally bright and colourful clothing were talking to an apron-wearing stranger, he didn't quite know what they were doing there, quite frankly he wanted to be home so he cast his green eyes on both his parents' faces in hope his wide eyes were enough to tell them that he was growing tired of this place... But he almost immediately averted his gaze and he shivered.

His parents had the polite smile on their face. The kind of smile that didn't quite reach their eyes, the kind of smile he'd see when he had something wrong and they had some elaborate way of teaching him a lesson. The smile didn't show it, but their eyes always hid the truth.

All of a sudden, the room grew quiet. The stranger reached out to him and placed him on the ground, before 3 objects: a raggedy looking bear, a plain red board with two little knobs and a curious box with a large colourful picture on the box.

He fixed his gaze on the big box to the right of him. The picture on the cover drew him towards it. He didn't quite know why but he wanted it badly. He clung to the box with his big clumsy paws. He liked this box, it was a very nice box.

Behind him his parents cheered, they ran towards him and scooped them into their embrace. Pascal didn't know why they were celebrating but he definitely didn't want to stop them.

Was it because of the box?

"He's smart! Our little boy is going to be smart!" they had cheered... But he was much too young and in shock to understand then.
Young Pascal had just seen his parents smile... a real smile that reached their eyes. The box he picked made them happy.
Pascal gripped the box tighter.

___________________

If you asked Pascal what his favourite toy was, he'd tell you it was his puzzle box. He'd tell you that it made him happy just looking at it the raggedy thing.
His parents would never tell you but everyone already knew. They were disappointed in their... dull-minded son.
He still couldn't solve a puzzle for a 3 year old at the age of 8 after all... But they couldn't bring to tell him this, so they'd just flash their polite smiles at him, their eyes doing their best to hide the sorrow and regret.

Go on, ask Pascal again why he loves his puzzle so much and he'd look at you with his wide green eyes and tell you truthfully,
that the box reminded him of a happier, more colourful time when smiles never told lies.

what irritates them the most?: (at least 50 words) what irritates them the most, is the fact that many people are harming others without knowing it. Such as going out shopping casually during the current pandemic. Ren often finds himself lashing out on other keldines who are going out during outbreaks and risking other's lives. Ren finds himself often painting wild creatures and other keldines he sees in coffee shops (not in a creepy way) to calm himself down. (70 words)

name: Delta
what is their favorite animal and why?: Delta has always love all marine life. Choosing her favorite was a hard task. Was it the graceful dolphins performing their gravity defying leaps? Perhaps is was one of the vast array of fish that make their home on the coral reefs. Of course, it could also be one of the many species of squid or octopus. Always such shy little creatures that reminded her of herself. Whales have always been impressive, beautiful, and talented. Their songs always sounding so terribly sad that they made Delta's heart ache. Sharks have always fascinated her, but they also terrified her. The manta rays and sting rays are always really cute, and their skin albeit slimy is always so soft to the touch. No. While she loved all of these wonderful species, her favorite would have to be the Sea Turtles. The memories of watching the baby sea turtles hatch every year warm her heart. It was her mother's favorite time of the year. They would watch the sea turtles every year together. When Delta was really youngvshe didn't understand the fascination and adoration her mother had for them, she found it boring to sit and watch sea turtles make their way back to the sea. As she got older she started to understand a little more, and continued to go with her mother to see her smile. That was until her mother fell ill. Once her mother fell ill neither of them watched the sea turtles. The window from the hospital bed over looked the beach, but it wasn't the normal nesting area of the sea turtles. Several years passed like this, and Delta's mother grew weaker each year. The day she truly came to love sea turtles is burned in her memory and on her heart for the rest of time.

Delta was visiting her mother at the hospital one day. Her mother was very weak in the bed.

"Delta," her mother called, "my darling. You must promise me that you will be strong when I'm gone."

"Mother not this again please?" Delta whispered as a tear slid down her cheek.

"Fear not my child. I may be gone from this place, but I'll always be watching you from above. I'll remain in here," she pointed to Delta's chest, "always. I will live on through you." A weak smile graced her tired, sunken face. "Do you know why I love the sea turtles?"

Delta shook her head.

"It is be cause they never give up their fight of returning home. While not all of them succeed, and some don't live very long after making it back to the ocean, they never gave up. They continue to fight their way back. They overcome the most difficult of struggles, just to be free and home. I have always found it very inspiring, and tried to live the same way. I never gave up. Fughting to the very end to be free, and follow my dreams."

Delta nodded slowly, still uncertain, but more in love with the sea turtles than ever before. They talked for some time before her mom fell asleep. Delta watched as her mother slept, looking peaceful and pain free. It hurt knowing that her mother was constantly in pain. The thought of her mother not being there was painful. Soon she too dozed off. It must have been the middle of the night when she was awakened by loud noises and panicked voices. She opened her eyes groggily just as a nurse stepped over to her.

"Miss, we need you to leave. This is an emergency."

Delta's eyes shot up to her mother as the words sunk in. The loud noises were coming from the heart monitor. This can't be happening. Not this soon. Delta was too young for her mother to leave! Her own panic set in, and she tried to fight the nurse to be near her mother. Eventually she was removed from her mother's room. Sitting in the waiting room was agony. What was going on? Was her mother okay? Millions of questions flooded her head, but she had no one to look to for answers at this time. Half an hour passed, when the doctor approached her. Delta searched his face for any clues as to how her mother was doing. He knelt down and dropped his head.

"I'm so sorry. We did everything we could."

Delta's vision blurred as the tears built up, his words sinking in. When they finally registered she broke down into a sob. Her chest was tight, and she felt as though she couldn't breathe. She got to say goodbye to her mother one last time before she went home. The following morning, Delta walked the beach trying to clear her mind. She stood outside the hospital, down on the beach and looked up to her mother's old window. Her heart felt extra heavy. The sounds of flocking seagulls sounded behind her. It was strange as there wasn't much life on this part of the beach. She turned around to see why they were being so noisy. That's when she saw them. A whole nest of baby sea turtles, hatching and making their way to the ocean. On the beach outside of the hospital. Delta let out a heavy, halfhearted laugh.

"Thank you Mom. Now I know you're safe and watching over me. I'll be strong like the sea turtles. Strong," she paused as a smile lit up her face and a tears rolled down her cheek dropping to the sand, "like you." She too off toward the baby turtles, scaring off all the seagulls as they landed. Helping the babies that got flipped over. Protecting them from the glaring sun. She helped them fight their way back home. This was the day she TRULY came to love sea turtles.

Aspen was very calm and collected you could do almost anything and I would never bother him, but he had one giant pet peeve that irritated him to no end. Shark Lego men. He always got the hebby jebbies whenever he saw one, the anatomy the face, why did the shark have a face? Everything about them was wrong, the minute he saw one he wished to RIP off it head and leave it with just a body, burning the head in a fire. Did I say that he was very calm and collected.

name: carmen
what is their favorite animal and why?: Carmen's favorite animal would have to be a platypus. Her favorite animal is a platypus because when she was only a few hours old, she had been gifted a small platypus plushie from a dear family friend. It was her favorite thing, she wouldn't go anywhere without the little pale brown stuffed animal, but one day, while her mother and little dear Carmen were visiting a lake for a small "day at the beach," her mother called it. Carmen had been playing on the shore of the lake with her small platypus plushie until out of the corner of her eye she saw movement in the water. She looked over and narrowed her eyes, very curious of what may be out there. Nothing. She huffed and began playing with her plushie once again until she heard a loud splash. It nearly scared her out of her fur. She began observing the water once again, and there it was. A platypus. She bounced in excitement, watching the platypus scavenge the water for small fish that had been swimming near the shore. It wasn't as pretty to some, but to her it was beautiful. Watching the small (at the time as big as her) platypus glide through the water.
The day had to come to an end though, the sun began to dim and she watched the platypus swim away. Her mother called out for her and she grabbed the plushed animal and darted to her mother, eager to explain how she had just seen her favorite animal.
