Fajrina

Owner: ♥ Sweetypie ♥
Gender: Female
Breedable: Yes
Type: Tropical Fade Elkrin

Into the Fades
The Tropical Fades are a species of Elkrin with vibrant feathers and markings. They hail from Eldemore's more jungle oriented areas and blend in well with their environment. Due to their seclusion, they are very curious when they first come across humans and few have ever even smelled one let alone seen mankind. Their slender bodies make them masters at traversing the dense roots and vines of their jungle homes, allowing them to run freely without restraint. A Tropical Fade's hooves are specially designed to grip onto rough surfaces, so do not be surprised if you see one of these agile deer up a tree. The giant trees in their homeland are what they rely upon for both food and shelter, creating hollowed out homes beneath the large roots and consuming the many various fruits and nuts from above. Their diets are what give them such vibrant hues among the more feathered fluff on their bodies. This in turn also helps them to camouflage among the many colorful flora in the area, giving them the appearance to fade in and out of sight. While the does are more somber in color, the stags are much more illustrious in markings, sporting bright red chests to appeal to the females. The females tend to stay in small herds made up of other doe family members and young fawns, while the stags roam alone or with brothers. They only all appear together when the mating season arrives, but for the most part stay secluded from one another.

rider;;
Her Rider’s name is Ravynianna, also known as Ravyn, To her everything is a game, she never takes anything seriously. She's a little rambunctious, She looks to play pranks and is a bit childish. She's older then most others though she looks younger then she really is. She's a bit of spotlight hog and loves being the center of attention. Playfully and Funny, but a bit twisted in the sense that she could easily turn against you and really don't know if she is on your side or not. She will lie to you straight up and rarely tells the truth. Ravynianna holds many secrets in her mind and can tell so many. Ravynianna prefers to be called Ravyn over her full name and will never lie about that fact in truth she will scream at you and cause huge misfortunes if you mention her full name before her, in her mind only she may say her full name, she freaks out whenever someone else does. The reason she was chosen as Phoenix’s rider is because of their love for pulling pranks and their personality’s get along well. But of course, Ravyn can be serious when she needs to which also helps for keeping Phoe under control.

Eye of the Beholder
It had to have been the strangest day of my life, my father had dragged me out into the jungle to explore and study the Tropical Fades Elkrin herds. The female herd; as well as the male herd. It was getting close to breeding season so father was getting antsy to see their mating rituals. I could have honestly cared less, it was boring here. Nothing to do but sit and watch the Elkrin’s graze and prance about like little pansy’s. It wasn’t exciting, even the males picking fights was kind of boring seeing as they didn’t last long. I got out of the tent and walked down the path, the trees and the life around here were pretty I guess.

I missed being home, I lived in a large village and only the nobles rode on Elkrin’s back home. I would never get to ride on one, and out here in the wild they wouldn’t even come near me, much less let me ride them. I guess I wasn’t really trying in the end either. I missed my friends, at least with them I had some fun to do, like pull pranks on the villagers. “Man, I wish there was something fun to do” I said out loud, and suddenly, I jumped hearing a noise in the background, “Whose there?” I asked calling to the bush.

A female doe trotted out, “Oh” I said, “It’s an Elkrin” I said, “Please help” The female said running towards me, I blinked, “You talk!?” I yelped, “Yes! Now run!” She yelped, I blinked seeing a herd of Stags running after her. My eyes widened, “Hey! Don’t lead them towards me!” I yelped and ran away, she was right behind me, “The males are crazy this time of year!” She told me as we ran away. So much for not having fun, I really need to keep my mouth shut.

I looked towards a river as we ran and pushed the doe through the bushes, we fell into the river, she yelped, but I covered her mouth lightly. The Stags ran by swiftly. I let out a sigh, “Okay” I sighed, “So you were saying?” I asked, “Ugh males, every year it’s the same, they try to compete to show off to the females, and this year most of the Doe’s have chosen their mates or reunited with their mates” She said to me, I nodded lightly standing up and walked out of the river, “Oh I see” I said. “Have you ever thought of going with a Stag?” I asked, “No way! Then I’d have less time for my pranks and adventures!” She said smiling at me, “Oh? Your into Adventures and pranks?” I asked, she nodded lightly.

“Well… what do you say we prank the Stags?” I asked, “I’m listening?” She inquired lightly, “Easy we’ll leave a female dummy out and watch the males fight over her” I smirked lightly, the female giggled, “I’d love to see that” She said. “The let’s do it!” I said, I ran off with the female back to my father’s tent, he was out observing the herds on his own. We built the dummy out of pillow feather’s and sticks. We smirked and set it up in the field for all the males to see.

We hid off in a bush watching as the males came and battled each others for the faked doe. The female and I giggled at their little show. “Well now what’s this?” Her father asked coming towards the field, “Dad” I hissed, “Don’t you’ll ruin it” I said, He tucked down into the bush with us. He blinked seeing the female, “A female is here?” He said astonished, “Yea she’s my buddy, she helped me set all this up” I said, “Now dad look you can see the ceremony from right here” I said. “Yes it’s fun to watch!” She said, “Yea what she said” I said.

“She didn’t say anything dear” He said, I blinked, “Sure she did” I said, “I didn’t hear her” he smiled at me and turned to watch the show. I turned to the female, “He can’t hear you?” I asked, “They say that you can only hear an Elkrin’s voice when you were meant to be Rider and Elkrin” She said, my eyes widened. “That means… that” I started, “We are meant to be a team, I mean come on, we hardly know each other and already we are having so much fun! Come on take me with you! I want to leave this jungle and go on an adventure, please?” She asked, I thought about it and nodded, “Hey Dad, Can I bring her with me?” I asked, “She wants to come, I am her Rider” I said, He blinked, and smiled, “I always knew you were meant to be a rider dearest, and certainly you can bring her along” he said, “But before you do, you need to give her a name” He smiled, “Alright, then…” I said looking at her green body and elegant red flame feather’s. “Phoenix” I said, “I will call her Pheonix” I smiled at her, and she smiled back. “Then from now on I shall be Phoenix, your Elkrin” She said.

Fire and Ice
By Robert Frost
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Name:

Fajrina
She is such an incredible pair of two separate color schemes, could not not simply go with a common name. I created this name myself my mixing the names Nerina and Fajra, for their meanings are 'girl of the water' and 'fiery one'. I then guess that you could say her name means 'the firery one of water'. Her pelt mixes the colors of two elements with beauty and vibrance, so I deemed it only fit for her name to as well.

Breedable:

Yes

Personality traits:

Well, Fajrina is...
•Caring
•Sweet
•Protective
•Shy
•Selfless
•Protective
She is extremely protective of Roran, and cares more about him than herself sometimes. She enjoys doing everything with him, and dreads the day when they are forced apart by time or tragedy. She's pretty quiet for the most part, small enough to lurk just out of sight, and no one would even notice her presence; except for Roran, of course. She's quite curious of humans, but doesn't really like anyone knowing. She's quirky about what she eats, and never eats unless Roran does, always looking after him.

Rider Information:

Rider Name:
Roran Fitzpatrick

Gender:
Male

Age:
17

Birthday:
October 4th,1995

Zodiac:
♎ Libra

Birthstone:
Opal

Element:
Air

Personality:
Fajrina's potential rider Roran is a rambunctious teen overwhelmed by a love for the earth's creatures; and not to mention, a knack for exploring. He's brave and selfless, and cares deeply for his close friends and family. He's always outdoors, learning about the world around him, and has a keen eye for life's small details. Roran enjoys expressing his creative and athletic nature, through things such as strategic games and and sports, as well as creating unique art. He sees the world differently, and often paints what his eyes see to share with others. His favorite thing to paint by far is Fajrina, her colors are simply mesmerising to him. He sees her as opposing, yet harmonizing elements that form one, beautiful being.

Please, if you have already read this far, I would advise you to continue reading about Roran after you finish the story.

A few years ago, Roran was working in the garden, clearing out weeds. He stumbled upon a patch of bright red flowers, particularly hard to pick due to their long thorns. He grabbed a small shovel and bent down, driving it into the stem. Clear liquid shot into his eyes, searing them. He screamed in agony, scratching at his eyelids and collapsing backwards onto the ground. Blair and Dougan sprinted from the house while Sabrina kept Adair inside. They brought me in and lay me on the bed, soothing my pain with everything they could. For the next week, I was able to just barely open my eyes, but I found my vision completely gone. After a while I was able to open them for prolonged periods of time, but he found his vision in black and white, like an old movie. He attained Fajrina's vision when he bonded with her, obtaining extraordinary sight, twice as good as before. He's now able to see almost as a savant could, instantly able to tell you everything about his surroundings, down to the tiniest detail, such as the amount of dewdrops on a spiderweb ten feet away. I guess that's just Fajrina helping him make up for lost time.

Story:

Sorry it's a little over a limit, but not by too much.

A sweet breath reached my lips, and I inhaled it luxuriously. My eyes opened drearily, my vision blurred. I attempted to rub it away, but the filter my eyes were putting on my surroundings remained. I found my legs sprawled in the dirt, my back against a large, warm body. I looked back to see a turquoise shape with accents of red, but couldn't make out what it was against the setting sun and through the haze. Adoring yellow eyes looked down at me, and I smiled and laid back, letting my misty eyes slide shut.

I shifted my leg, no longer feeling soft dirt but rather rough bed sheets. My eyes flew open and I gripped the project behind my head, finding it only to be my warm and crumpled pillow. I gasped in quick breaths, and tears began to flow freely down my face. I stifled a sob, emotion eliminating from me because of how much I had wanted my dream to be true. It felt so perfect, so right, I didn't understand why life couldn't be that way, peaceful and beautiful. I couldn't understand what the object behind me had been, but I simply had to find out.

I pulled on my riding jeans, wanting something protective yet flexible, and slid on my heavy brown boots. I found a thin white tee balled up on the floor, and wrapped my favorite red scarf around my neck for protection from vicious bugs. My hair was good enough, and I just let my fingers have a quick run through the front to keep it from my face. It fell back anyways. I huffed a sigh and grabbed my pack, throwing in something for me to eat later.

"Blair! Dugan! I'll be back later!" I yelled, walking briskly for the door. I felt someone grab my arm and turned, unsure of who to expect because of the many members of my household. There stood Blair, her fingers gently latched onto my elbow. She looked sleepy, a foggy glaze still on her eyes, but a sweet smile upon her face. "Are you okay?" I began to stutter an answer, and she suddenly looked worried, knowing I'm frazzled when I stutter. She hooked her arms around my middle and gave me a gentle squeeze, laying her head on my chest. I became quiet, and hugged her back. "Please just be back before sunset, okay?" I held her close to reassure her. "I promise, I will be back soon."

I latched my bag closed and slung it onto my shoulder, securing the straps by tightening them onto my shoulders. I started a slow jog, a speed I could keep up for miles. I fell into the correct pace and looked into the trees, searching for a place for me to enter the forest. My vision was somewhat poor, but was able to spot a weak spot in the tree line a little ways away, and headed for it. I reached it quickly, and ducked down to enter. My eyes dashed from plant-to-plant, taking in their beauty. It saddened me though, thinking about the day when the forest lost its color to me; something from a poisonous plant shot up into my eye once, and I somehow developed monochromacy. I can only remember the color of some things, like my favorite scarf, or Blair's eyes.

I wondered where to go, and just decided to walk strait in order to avoid getting lost. I felt something tap against my leg, and reached into my pocket. It was cool and sleek, and I pulled out a small compass; it belonged to Blair, I recognized it. I smiled, she must have been thinking of me and slipped it into my pocket. I was heading South now, which meant the house was to the North. I gently replaced it, not wanting to lose the sentimental object. I let out a heavy sigh, knowing my chance was slim to find what the thing in my dream was, when the only thing I knew was the color and general size. I kept going, a sliver of chance keeping my hopes alive in my heart.

How far I'd gone before I stopped, I don't know, but my trek was suddenly halted when a reached a large cliff, it's face stretching down below me, releasing a stream over its edge as a small waterfall. I saw something colorful glimmer over the gray water, and had to take another look.when my eyes found the spot again, it was gone. I rubbed my eyes, not believing what I had seen. It wasn't possible, but I had to make sure. I began digging through the supplies in my bag, and found a coil of rope at the bottom of the jumble. I attached it to a large rock and threw it over the edge, watching as it fell. I gripped the edge of the cliff and stepped down slowly, ready to scale the rock face.

I climbed quickly, not wanting the figure to get to far away. I held to my rope tightly, having no harness to hold onto. I was about halfway when I couldn't find a ledge below me, but could extend my foot just enough for it to find a small rock. I touched down and let off a little weight; that was my biggest mistake. The rock broke off and my grip released, suddenly feeling myself plummeting down. I had mere seconds before I hit the stream, the waterfall pounding down on me. I hadn't caught a breath, and struggled against the force above me. I felt something grab my scarf and yank, pulling me towards the surface.

I was dragged the shore and sat up, coughing up a mass of water. I turned to see my savior, but couldn't comprehend what I was seeing. It was a petite Elkrin doe, standing curiously above me. She was, so vibrant, her colors... Colors! She was beautiful hues of blue and green, with fiery feathers on her shoulders and hips. I stood slowly, feeling giddy, using my hands to slowly push myself up. I approached cautiously, still in awe and wonder. I reached out slowly, but the doe didn't budge. My fingers reached out , but stopped just before her. Her head tilted to the side, and she stiffed my hand. She forced her nose into my hand, our eyes both flying wide the moment we touched. Then, something absolutely extraordinary happened.

Color seeped down from our bodies into the earth, soaking into the dirt and spreading, crawling up the plants like paint in reverse. The plants became incredibly vivid, the color just as I had recalled them. My favorite was the last part; the sky. It was sunset, and the purple's and orange's were soaked up by the sky, trailing into a dark blue sky, streaked with billions of sparkling stars. My left cheek itched, but a dared not move. Everything became still, color restored. My hand stuck, and i looked deeply into her eyes, their depths drawing me in. "There would only be one name to fit you, a name to be unique; Fajrina." I removed my hand and stumbled backwards, only to be caught by Fajrina. She eased me to the ground and laid down behind me, and I snuggled against her.

This became our favorite thing to do together, no matter where, we would snuggle up and watch the sunset together. After the bond, I later returned home, finding Blair irate at my tardiness. As soon as she saw me, she sprinted towards me, and her hand flew to my cheek when she reached me. "What happened?!" I came to find out I had three consecutively sized dots going across my cheek under my left eye, just as Fajrina has. I put my hand over hers, and looked into her eyes. "Your eyes are more green than I remember, have you been crying?" She stifled a sob and wrapped herself around me, squeezing me tightly. We've always been very close, and I knew she had worried herself sick. She didn't let go until I told her everything, and then brought Fajrina and I both inside for some late dinner.

Art:

My first perception of this tropical beauty was my two favorite apposing elements; fire and ice. I drew Fajrina on oekaki, but I made the backgrounds using gimp.



Look at that! She climbed up and tree just to walk over the water on a branch; silly girl.



Naww, looks like Roran didn't make it to watch the sun set completely, he had a long day, and must have bonked out. Twilight is the favorite time he loves to share with Fajrina, but she knows he's tired and won't wake him up.

[mulder]

Absolutely lovely ;w; I apologize for my indecisiveness in this /shot

[Benathorn]

This doe is absolutely gorgeous!
I'm so in love with those flaming colors <333
I was wondering, are we allowed to work together with someone else to try out for an Elkrin, then co-own it? I know someone in love with the icy colors along her body, and is sitting right next to me, willing to oblige.

Though I understand your want for cooperation I must advise against it.
Everyone else is working alone to achieve this doe through the forms they create and I must ask that the two of you do the same to be fair.

Thank you though for the lovely compliments and I wish you all the best of luck~

[Sneky]

Woah, so Purdy! I'll have to debate weather I want to try for her or the Forager... hmm....

EDIT: I think I'm going to give it a shot c:

:Form:

Name:

Crystal
I chose this name because it soulded really pretty XD Sometimes she likes to be called Crys. I guess there is reasoning behind her name, Crystals are almost invisible, and so are the Tropical fade Elkrin.

Breedable:

Yup c:

Description:

Crystal's rider is Cole, a pure blooded rider. He is tall, and right around Luz's age. He has messy brown hair and vivid green eyes. He is from the Celtlands, but is now a nomad. He found Crystal in the jungles, when she was being pursued by a Leon. He pulled out his bow and shot the Leon, therefore saving Crystal's life. She then started following Colr, and eventually became his Elkrin. Many people mame fun of him for riding a doe instead of a stag, but he brushes it off[and keeps walking. He doesn't have any Runes, as he finds them pestering and annoying. He is perfectly content with just an Elkrin. He is a bit aloof, but still has common sense. He needs that to survive as a nomad. He does not come across as a warm person when you first meet him, but once you get to know him, he really is nice. His tipical outfit is a plain black short sleeved shirt with a black leather jacket for colder weather. He normally wears jeans with black leather boots. Odd that someone with such drab clothing would find such a colorful Elkrin.


Personality:

Wary
Crys is always a bit wary of new things, never really being very bold. She doesn't like being a wary nomad, and is hoping very much to settle down soon. She would rather find a home than keep traveling.
Timid
Being an Elkrin that is built to hide, Crys is natrually a bit timid. She doesn't take very many risks, and is afraid of several things. Hopefully her friend Ry will be able to make her a bit more bold.
Smart
Despite being timid, Crys is very smart. She likes to solve problems, nd is happier when she is challenged intelectually.
Serious
Crys is not a very silly doe. Since she doesn't take risks, she is a bit dull and not very funny. That is usually why other Elkrin shy away from her, she doesn't seem very approachable.
Kind
Once Crys gets to know someone, she is a very kind doe. She won't do things out of sheer kindness, but she will protect the things she loves. Although she usually has an odd way of protecting people and other living beings...

Short Story or Art:

The first time I saw her was when I faceplanted in the Flickering Vales. I had wondered why Crys had stopped so suddenly, which caused me to fly off her back face first into the mud. But when I looked up, I saw her. Maybe my vision was blurred from the mud in my eyes, but she and her stag seemed to blend right in with the trees. Her hair shimmered like the falls of the Vales, and her eyes seemed to glow like the firelight bugs around her. She was stunning. I stumbled to my feet, helped up by Crys' tail. I brushed the mud off my jacket and out of my hair, to try and make myself presentable. "Pardon me, but I'm very sorry for getting in your way."
"It's Ok, I'll just wash up later."
"You look aweful silly riding a doe, you know."
"Speak for yourself. That stag looks awefuly big for someone as small as you to ride."
"I'm not small! I'm five foot ten!"
She jumped off of the stag, and stood next to me. I was still taller than her, but she was very tall. She wore a thin green skirt with green leggings that had gold embroidery. Her shirt was a light green with golden embroidery and a leather belt around her waist. She also wore a deep emerald green cloak with Gold embroidery and it had a large hood to cover her face. She was standing right next to me, looking up at me and giving me a contemptuous glare. Then, she looked over at Crys and the stuff she had on her back, particularly eying my bow and arrows. "Hey, do you like to shoot?"
"Yeah. I learned how to shoot with a bow when I was five, and I've loved it ever since."
"No way, me too! I love archery!"
She ran over to her stag, and pulled out a painted gold bow. She then pulled out an arrow, loaded it into the bow, and watched a tree that was nearby. The leaves russled, and a piece of fruit fell from one of the branches. But before it had time to reach the ground, she shot it with her bow, skewering it against the tree. She walked over to the tree, removed the fruit from the arrow, and took a bite out of it. "Mmmnnn... I love Harlequin fruit! You want some?" She held out the fruit in the palm of her hand. I love Harlequin fruit, but not when someone has taken a bite out of it.
"Umm..no thanks. I'll pick my own." I walked up to the tree, and plucked a fresh Harlequin fruit off of a branch. I took a bite out of it, and the sour taste of the fruit made me pucker. I looked over at the stag, and saw a scar going down his left shoulder. "What happened to your stag?" I said, pointing at his shoulder.
"Oh, he had a little accident with a Dire Wolf pack. I talked to his herd's leader, and she let me keep him as my Elkrin, since I saved the rest of the herd from the wolves."
"Wait, you talked to them? Elkrin can't talk to humans, so how can you talk to them?!?"
"Oh, it's complicated. Basically, I'm half-blooded, and when I almost died in the desert, I could talk to Elkrin. Apparently, I can also talk to Leons."
"Ugh, I hate Leons.They almost killed my Crystal." I gestured over to Crys, who was shying away from the girl. "Hmm... I have an idea. Something's been bothering Crystal, and i haven't been able to figure out what yet. Could you maybe talk to her?"
"Yeah, sure." She walked over to Crys, who immediately backed away from her. "By the way, my name is Luz."
"Oh, my name's Cole." Luz walked cautiously over to Crys who wasn't so afraid of her anymore.
"Alright Crystal, what's bothering ya?" Crys made a soft bleating noise. I dind't know what she was saying, but clearly Luz did. "Alright, I'll call you Crys. It's Ok, you can trust me." Crys leaned in, and whispered something into Luz's ear. "Ok, I'll tell him." She stood up, and turned toward me.
"Well, she told me that she's tired. She doesn't like to travel, and she just wants to stay in one place for a longer time. She also just feels... a little alone. Ryoko is the first Elkrin she's seen in 2 years." Crys walked over to the stag, and nuzzled his shoulder. He wound his tail around her neck, and nuzzled her shoulder back.
"Well, I have been looking for a home for a while."
"Well, untill you find a home, you are welcome to travel with me. I always have room in my company." Right as she finished talking, three little runes flew in and fluttered around my head. "Oh yeah, these are my Runes, Daydream, Celeste, and Mizu."
"Ah, I hate Runes!"
"Well, if you're going to travel with me, you'll have to deal with them." My normal self would have jumped on Crys' back, and rode away. But for some reason, I wasn't my normal self. I nodded my head absent-mindedly. "Ok, good. Well, I was planning to leave tonight, and head toward a more civilized area. Maybe the Celtlands?"
"That sounds great. But first, I think we have to grab our Elkrin." I walked over to Crys, nad pulled her away from Ryoko by her riding tack. "If you would like, when we get to the Celtlands, I can make Ryoko a nice riding tack."
"That sounds wonderful." Her eyes seemed to sparkle in the sunset. I hopped on Crys' saddle, and she hopped onto Ryoko's back. I stared off into the horizon, and the only thing that broke my gaze was the force of Crys breaking into a full gallop. I looked over at Luz, who was laughing and hollering. "Isn't this fun?!?"
"Umm... yeah." I said, my voice quavering with nervousness. I was nervous that I might fall off of Crys' back, but I was also nervous of something else. I was nervous of the unknown ahead. I was traveling with someone that I had just met a few hours ago, and the only thing that was guiding me was my Elkrin's words. I didn't know what had been started, but something obviously had, and I was riding in to darkness, litereally and figuaritivly.

1081 words, I hope that's OK.


Here is a picture of Crystal's tack


I actually made part of Crystal's tack into a necklace. It is the little beaded portion that threads through her neck tack. My first necklace, I hope it's Ok!

Well, I'd have liked to have done more, but I pulled a hamstring at Track today so I think I'll just rest. Good luck to everyone, though!! c:
