Name: Nimbus
Biological Sex: Male
Why the flower?:
Nimbus never was one for flowers. They always seemed very prissy, and Nimbus was definitely not prissy, despite what his pretty blue coat might say. He was a zver of action and adventure, and so flowers were not something that he liked. The flower would not have been anywhere close to him if he had any say about it. If only that blasted cat hadn't been so cute and he hadn't wanted to follow it would he even had the flower. Wait, did he just call something cute?
Anyways, it all started when the cat caught his eye. It was a small fluffy kitten, and Nimbus's inner cute lover just had to follow it. It wasn't a part of him that showed very much.because he wanted to keep up a show of a big strong adventurer, but this cat was just so cute! He began to follow it wherever it went, and soon it began to tolerate his presence. Soon they began to find ways to communicate. Soon, they became best of friends. Affectionately, Nimbus began to refer to the kitten as his sidekick. It seemed to like this title, as well as seeming to like adventuring with him.
Did the kitten have a name? Yes, it did. Nimbus, from the humans who he had been raised by, knew that nimbus clouds had rain in them. So, he called the kitten Rain, his companion. Rain and Nimbus became adventurers, working together to find fun things that they could do. One day, though, a year or two later, Rain seemed nervous. He had found something, but Nimbus didn't know what. Rain invited Nimbus to follow. So began their great adventure, for what Nimbus didn't know.
They climbed a mountain, up, up, up to the top. It took them days, days of preparation, days of walking, and days of climbing rocks to get to the top. Nimbus didn't know what they were looking for, but Rain knew. He didn't know how, but Rain knew. It took days to get to the top. It was worth it though. The view was amazing, and Nimbus was glad he had the chance to see it. But that was not what Rain had been coming to show him. Rain brought him to a small garden, filled with the most exotic flowers. There was one that Rain in particular seemed to like. It was pale while, and had a faint glow. The flower was picked by Rain, and Rain gave it to Nimbus. A very special flower, and not something that Nimbus would have normally picked, but it was a gift from his dearest friend, and he had to keep it. The pair of them stood together, caring for the flower. The view was breathtaking, and Rain and Nimbus relished the time together.

Name: Caelestis
Biological Sex: Male
Why the flower?: Caelestis was born on Quartan3 and lived much of his life on the purple planet. There, the light pigment of his eyes wasn't an issue, simply because the sun wasn't as bright. However, the story is much different here on Earth. Rather than soothing purple, this planet is full of harsh, glaring sunlight. The sunlight hurts his eyes enough that this zver has become solely nocturnal. There isn't much about the daylight that this zver misses, however he longs to see the flowers again.
One evening while he was hunting, Caelestis stumbled across a carefully tended garden. As he watched, a flowering vine began to bloom, opening its petals slowly to the silvery moonlight. Wonder struck, the zver carefully picked the flower with his teeth and carried it with him. When the small flower wilted to nothing, he returned and saw the entire wall of the house covered in the small white primroses. Each night he picks a fresh one to carry with him, thrilled to have his flowers back.
