Name: Cinnabar
Why and what it means?: Cinnabar is a type of mineral. Because of its mercury content, it can be toxic and harmful. I chose this as her name because it seemed almost ironic considering her personality. Also, the word 'cinnabar' reminds me of 'cinnamon,' which is the color of her beautiful coat. While it may not be the most complex, strange, or unusual name, I think it's unique enough and perfectly relevant to her design, and I can't think of anything that fits her more.
Personality: Cinnabar is a good-natured individual with a big heart. She is very gentle and loves everyone, wouldn't hurt a fly. While she is still young, she is very motherly and longs for a mate and a baby of her own. She loves to help others, and will go out of her way to put a smile on someone's face. Cinna is peaceful and a total sweetheart, loves to snuggle and surrounds herself with loyal friends. Due to her kindhearted disposition, she can't bear to eat meat, and is a strict vegetarian. Cinna loves to eat fruit, and strawberries are her absolute favorite. The ocean is her absolute favorite place; the sound of the waves and the soft sand are relaxing and peaceful to her. However, all this love can backfire on her at times; since she is so selfless and spends so much time caring for others, Cinna does often neglect herself, and has forgotten to eat or clean herself in extreme situations. Cinna's friends would describe her as loyal and always honest, with the patience of a saint and not a mean bone in her whole body. You would be hard-pressed to find someone who didn’t have something nice to say about her!

You And I by Ingrid Michaelson ~ Basically, Cinna's innermost desires in life clustered down into one song. She longs for someone to share her life with, someone who will always be there, someone she can always be there for in return. However, where the song says 'let's get rich,' Cinna would like nothing more than to be rich with love, not money.
