Personality-
Apollo, beneath his seemingly grumpy face is a total cinnamon roll. Apollo loves to chat and is very friendly towards others. He's hopes to make everyone's day a little bit brighter by talking with him. He really enjoys playing with children, being very gentle and kind with them. What does Apollo enjoy the most you might ask, well... Bee Keeping. He adores to keep bees in his yard and is very gentle and kind to them. Apollo's greatest friendship is with his Raven, named Atlas.
About his name-
The name Apollo is a Greek baby name. In Greek the meaning of the name Apollo is: Manly beauty. In Greek mythology, Apollo was the god of medicine and healing who drove his fiery chariot (the sun) through the sky.
Hobbies-
Apollo's hobbies...Well, isn't he an interesting RPW? He doesn't just stick with one hobby, he has several. He needs to keep himself busy. His hobbies include, but are not limited to:
Spelunking
Apollo enjoys finding new cave systems on his travels and NEEDS to crawl into one even if he catches it out of the corner of his eye. He just needs to find out what is living in there and how it looks and what kind of rocks and crystals are in the cave system. From every cave he explores, he collects a rock or crystal and labels them where he got them from and what kind of rock or crystal it is!
Origami
Apollo enjoys to make origami when he has nothing else to do. He can make anything from a small butterfly to a big dinosaur. But he enjoys to make cranes the most. Apollo loves the old myth around them and hoping when he gets enough time that he'll sit down and fold 1000 paper cranes and make his wish to the gods, but for now...he just makes them for enjoyment.
Bee Keeping
Apollo enjoys bee keeping for a lot of reason, one of them is because slowly the honey bees are dying from who knows what and he wants to protect and save as many of the bees he can. Bees play a big role in this planet and he wants to save it for future eyes to see all of it.
Terrariums
Apollo enjoys making terrariums when he isn't doing any other hobbies of his and enjoys putting little figurines in with the plants when he is making them and making a little scene. Apollo doesn't keep any of these terrariums, but instead sells them to other RPWs and people. He saves up the money or traded items to feed his pet raven.

I also adore the smell of rain, I'll just sit in the middle of a downpour, smelling the rain hit the forest floor~ It's the best smell in the world~

Friendship Story-

I headed out of my house, fixing my fur. I hummed along with the singing birds of the morning. I always liked the morning, as it was very peaceful. Smiling, I started on my way to my favorite cave for spelunking. It was close by, and contained several tunnels that I could explore. My hopes were that I could find a new rock or crystal. I started to walk the familiar path to the cave, taking a sip of my water. I stopped for a moment, hearing a strange small sound. My ears perked and I curiously listened for a moment before heading towards it. I stopped when I saw the small pink and black object on the forest floor. I curiously stared at it for a moment before the small pink lump made another sound. I jumped slightly and cautiously approached, trying to see what it was. I blinked, astonished to see that it had a beak! It was a small bird. Carefully, I scooped up the pink and black blob, gently holding it close to keep it warm. I looked up in the trees, spotting a nest in the one above me. I watched it for a moment, as a black bird took flight and started to circle me and caw. Muffling a yelp, I held the little pink and black blob close to me. I snorted and started to climb the tree with the nest in it, still getting cawed at by the black bird; it looked like a raven but I wasn’t sure if it was a raven or a crow. The bird flew over to the nest and cawed louder at me as I got closer, making sure I still had my little pink and black blob. As I got to the nest, the black bird pecked at me, still cawing its head off. I snorted and quickly put the little pink and black blob of a baby bird back in the nest. I speedily climbed down from the tree as the black bird was still pecking at me. As I returned to the ground, the black bird flew back up, settling in its nest. I smiled, glad that I put the small pink and black blob of the baby bird back in the nest. I started on my way back to the path when I heard a small noise behind me. Since I was baffled, I glanced back, and saw the little pink and black blob back on the ground. I blinked and tenderly lifted the blob up again, looking up at the nest. The big black bird was looking down, cawing at me. “I guess… you don’t want this one?” I asked, grunting. “You’re not a nice mom or dad…” I muttered up at the bird and gently held the small black and pink blob up to my face, smiling to myself. “If the big mean bird won’t take care of you… Then I will.” I said to the blob and went back to the path, returning to my home. I wasn’t sure how to take care of a small chick, but I was willing to give the small blob the best life I possibly could. I grinned as I got home and began to set up a small mock nest for the nestling, carefully placing him down in it. “You need to have a name little blob. I can’t call you blob all your life. You’re going to be big one day and not a blob anymore….” I muttered to the small bird as it cawed softly. “Yes, yes, I’ll ground you up worms and a bit of meat soon.” I murmured and found a heating lamp for one of my terrariums and put it over the small pink and black blob. The small bird calmed down a bit, contentedly nesting into the scraps of soft items I put in the cardboard box. I smiled. “How about Atlas? Will that be a good name?” I nodded and began to fix up a small mixture of food for the bird.

I had barely got any sleep over that week; Atlas needed to eat every two hours or so. He was growing bigger and bigger every day and I was proud that he was. Atlas was slowly beginning to grow more feathers too; I had just fed him and was settling in for a nap. I would nap as often as I could before Atlas started to caw again for his food. My large amount of research about ravens and crows revealed that little Atlas was a raven and that he probably wouldn’t be suited for the wild, but also that ravens didn’t make good pets either. I exhaled, closing my eyes. Atlas wasn’t going to be my pet after all, he was going to be my companion – someone I could count on and talk to. I smiled slightly and drifted off to sleep. I woke up slowly, not hearing the caw of Atlas. I blinked and looked what time it was. I had slept for about five hours! I yelped and got up, quickly going to check on my little buddy. Atlas was lying in his box, not moving an inch. I gently picked him up, fearing the worst. He had been doing so well! He couldn’t have died now, could he? I held him close tenderly, frowning. “Atlas?” I inquired, holding the little blob up to my face. I saw the little raven move his beak a tiny bit, letting out a weak caw. I beamed and fixed up his food, slowly feeding it to him. He didn’t seem like he wanted to eat, throwing up the food that he did get down. I grimaced and fixed up a new food, adding some medicine to it; I had made it myself and it helped with colds for me… but I wasn’t sure what it would do to Atlas. I mixed just a tiny bit into the new concoction and slowly tried to feed that one to the small raven. Atlas ended up eating more of that one. I sighed, pleased that Atlas liked the new food and hopeful that the medicine would work. I put him back in his cardboard box and watched him for most of the night, but in the end, I passed out. I woke up in a panic, only to hear the loud cawing of the small raven. Grinning from ear to ear, I scooped up the small raven and held him in front of my face. Atlas squawked loudly at me, wanting food. “I’m- I’m glad you’re living bud.” I stuttered and started to mix up some more food for the small raven.

Over the months that I fed and cared for the raven I named Atlas, I became attached, and Atlas became attached to me too; he was hopping around after me and would climb up on my tail and up onto my head. Atlas wouldn’t leave my side. I had to start feeding him different things as he grew up; he had gotten sick of worms. I started to give him fruit, berries, and nuts with a bit of meat here and there. He savored the meals and would eat them right up, and he also stopped having to be fed every two hours, so I could finally get some rest. Atlas always slept nearby in his cardboard box at night, and once he woke up in the morning, he cawed loudly and hopped all over me. One day I noticed that his flight feathers were growing in and that he would try and fly or glide – always failing, of course – but I knew one day that he would learn how. I was worried about him flying; he could actually just fly away at any time, and that’s exactly what he did one day. I woke up gradually, and didn’t hear the loud cawing of the large raven. His flight feathers had grown in a week before and he swiftly learned how to glide and fly. He had always flown around my head and landed on it to rest, cawing loudly. However, this morning he wasn’t there. I sighed, knowing that he left. I fixed the bedding in his box, just in case…. but I was pretty sure he was never coming back. About a week later, I woke up, yawning loudly; it had been quiet and pretty boring without Atlas in the house. I didn’t have the heart to throw away his cardboard box and had left it lying in my room. I grabbed some water and departed from my house, eager to do some spelunking. I hadn’t gone spelunking in forever. I was always too busy with Atlas to go, but now that he’s gone, I can finally go. I sighed and headed out towards the path to the cave. I hummed casually and paused as I came upon the tree I found Atlas at. I sighed, longingly looking up at it. “I miss you bud…but I hope you’re doing well.” I smiled sadly before turning back around to head down the path. I halted in my tracks when something landed on my head and let out a squawk. I couldn’t believe it at first... did Atlas come back? “A- Atlas?” I asked and the large object flew off and landed in front of me, cawing. It was him! Atlas! And how do you say I knew it was him? I had placed a small band around his right foot. “Atlas!” I exclaimed. Atlas flapped his wings, hopping around me. I grinned from ear to ear, thrilled to have my companion back. I traveled back home, Atlas resting on my head the entire time. I knew from now on, that Atlas would sometimes leave, but he would always return home.
