What is a Mippi?

Mippi is a small hyperactive mammal closely related to pikas. The name 'Mippi' originates from the high pitched 'meep' sound they use to communicate with each other. Their body are short, covered in long dense fur to keep them warm in their cold tundra-like habitat. The horns on their head are covered in velvety fur and generally not harmful as they only use these to protect themselves in the nature. Mippis are naturally very social, living in a group of at least 2 individuals [though a group of 20+ are not a rare sight!], and help each other build a series of underground burrow to sleep in, raise their young, and hoard food for winter; such as grass hay, grains and seeds. Because of their fun and loving personality and small size, they are very popular amongst people who do not have much space for larger pet. Would you like to adopt one today?

Mippi Name: Shade

Extra #1- Name Reasoning: I adore Chroma's name, and after suspecting that it had something to do with colors (of course, I know of the word chromatic relating to color) I looked it up. Sure enough, chroma is the Greek word for color. I had to give this fellow a relating name. Shade seemed perfect. Shade can be a place of darkness, which immediately made me think of his coat color. He reminds me of a shady spot underneath a tree- with the "branches" the long dark markings down his back. Shade to me is a cool and relaxing place, which I immediately found to be quite like the personality I had set for him- cool and more laid back than most other Mippis. And, of course, a shade is a variation of color.

Why do you want him?: I've only just stumbled across this species, and immediately I was in love with them. I loved the idea that they were social and friendly and just all-around adorable. Everything from their shortness to their fluffiness is just so perfectly cute. Their silky horns and big feet made me crave one of my own. I knew, after seeing them, that I had to have a Mippi. This guy was the only one that I ever considered adopting. His dark coloring and beautiful patterning set him apart from the rest. Don't get me wrong- the others are lovely- but I felt that this little guy would be the most cherished and loved if I were to win him. He's strikingly beautiful in a subtle way, and his green eyes perfectly accent his smokey grey coat. His cream accents and dark blades down his spine are unique to him, and everything from the ring in his eyes to the gradient of fur along his backside enhance his beautiful coat. His personality is already so far developed in my mind that I find myself thinking of how he would react in certain situations. He's not just pixels on a screen, he's a character that means something to me- and I rarely find that with adopts made by other users. I'm just in love with his design, and can so imagine building him as a character and role playing with his sister and sketching him late at night and just really loving him. I really can't explain in words the attachment and connection I feel to him. Shade's my perfect Mippi and if I were to win him, I'd be so incredibly happy.

Extra #2- Personality: Shade, true to his name, is cool and collected. He's not too concerned with the everyday dramas that are bound to arise between many hyperactive Mippis. In fact, he's not too concerned about anything, seemingly having no worries whatsoever. Accepting that whatever will happen will happen, and knowing that there's little in his power to do, he doesn't bother with worrying himself. Sure, on the inside he has small concerns that naturally occur in any Mippi's mind, but he simply pushes them away to the best of his abilities. He also takes the world at his own pace and makes the best of it. Sure, he stays true to many Mippi characteristics- he's a very social and friendly little fellow, greatly enjoying the companionship of his sister and of others. He's a happy Mippi, just like most of the rest, seemingly having a smile plastered on his face. However he's not very talkative. He prefers to step back and watch the world pass by, jumping over obstacles when they are presented to him and getting on with things without much chatter. It's not that he's shy, just quiet. And while he's a hard worker, his lack of pride in his work- whether it be digging out a burrow or gathering seeds- means that his efforts are often overlooked. When it is noticed, however, it is highly valued. Shade may be a very ordinary Mippi, tending to fade into the background, but he's content that way. Because to his sister, and to the ones he loves, he's nothing but ordinary.

Extra #3- Short Stories:

Shade's Scarf-Pouch

It's a freezing- no, freezing doesn't come close to implying how cold it is- winter's day. A full-blown blizzard pummels a pure white dusty snow onto my contrastingly dark back. The wind whistles its sickly melody in my ear and forces me backwards. I barely maintain a hold on the loosely packed snow, which is kicked up by the wind and sent into my eyes, stinging and blinding me. I am well adapted to this climate with my thick fur and snowshoe-like paws, but I am not prepared for such a storm. I should be back in the burrow where it is warm and I am surrounded by my sister and my friends, where we laugh. Laugh because the wind can't torment us in the burrows. Laugh because the snow can't whip at our backs. We are safe there, and together. Instead I am here, alone and cold with only snowbanks to be seen on the horizon. But times are dire. This storm has swept across our land for days, driving us into a permanent shelter from the storm and burning through our entire hoard of food. I think of my sister, Chroma, starving after days of eating nothing- though of course not trying to show it. She would never show it. It gives me strength to push on. I must find food. For her, and for the rest of them. But where could there be food in this stretch of white?

A glimmer of hope peeks through the glossy white many feet away. Even as I squint against the harsh storm, I can barely make it out. At the same time it is quite noticeable- the only streak of color in this barren place. Gold, to be precise. A dull, greenish greyish gold, almost the color of wheat. My heart lurches and I take an enthusiastic bound forwards. For every two steps I take forward, I am pushed back one. The distance between myself and what I believe to be food is agonizing, but finally I stagger towards it. I stare at it. It's certainly not wheat, and I sigh in annoyance at my own misunderstanding. Suddenly angry that I haven't been able to find food, I swipe at the gold, tearing a hole in the scratchy fabric and exposing hundreds of small round seeds. I yip with joy and lap one up, ensuring that it is indeed edible. Finding it quite tasty, I take a few more before tearing and tying, scratching and ripping so that the small bag of seeds settles snugly around my neck, with a pouch at my chest where the seeds have gathered. We will not go hungry this winter!

First...

That light amidst the dark...

"Do you know that feeling? Like you're wandering somewhere all alone, somewhere in the darkness. Lost. Confused. Lonely...and afraid? Then suddenly you see a light, a small flickering light like a candle exposed to the wind. You're too afraid to touch it, in fear of extinguishing it. You're afraid to hold it, afraid that it would cry. Afraid to love it, for fear that it wouldn't last. The candle I hold is you, Chroma"

Mother died when I was born. Father said it was my fault. The first few months of my life was filled with constant fear and constant pain. Father was scary, and father hated me. Then father fell in love. 'Mother' was different, not unkind, but distant. I felt that although we were in the same den, feeding on the same meal, sleeping in the same room, that I was never there. I was alone, living in an empty shell, looking at empty people. Being objectified, a waste of space...somewhat like a pet.

Then 'mother' got pregnant. A single child. Father fussed over her, what she should eat, how she should move.

Were you like this when I was born?

But one day she called me over, telling me to listen.
Can you hear the beat of the heart? Kaiden? Listen to her. This is you sister, Kaiden

Thump. Thump.

What is this? Something was beating. Something is alive, and it's calling me to listen. I remained by her side the entire night, listening. This is my sister, and she's waiting for me. Father was mad, he thought that I was irritating 'mother', so he sent me away. Yet I was already attracted to that beating heart. She was calling me. That month turned into a lifetime of constant waiting, constant hiding, constant fear, constant pain.

The end is where we begin...

"Have you felt it before? The desire to be with someone you know you couldn't be with. Have you tried to pursue it? And fall into despair. Will you chase for it? If that light can only get further away...and away..."

Kaiden, come closer, this is your sister
What was that?
I have a sister.

She's so small, she's too small. She's so beautiful. If I touch her now, will she break? If I call her name, will she cry? If I look at her, will she fall? She's too small, too fragile, I'm afraid.

If I am your brother, will you be my sister?

Chroma. They said we looked alike. I don't know how. We don't even have the same eyes. Someone said it's our bond. Chroma was young, and she was innocent.
Kaiden
She's calling my name.
Kaiden
There you go again. What are you? With your dark blue eyes looking into by green ones, what are you thinking? Do you think I'm you're friend? Am I a waste of space? Is mother and father drawing attention away from you because of me?
I lovee you big broter
Love? Don't make me fall for you Chroma. Don't make me tear down this barrier and let you in, Chroma. Don't make me love you...my sister.

I love you too, my little Chroma

I'm afraid. I'm afraid that by being with you I will spoil you. I'm scared that by being with you I will control you. I don't want to make you sad. I don't want to be a wall that keeps on stopping you. So I'll stay away and let you walk on your own, but when you call my name, I will be by your side.

Boundaries of the Heart

"Why is it that when I'm with you, I feel so calm. Why is it that when you smile I feel such joy? Why is it that when you cry my heart is shattered? Why is it that when you laugh I lose myself?"

I've watched you grow, and perhaps it was my fault. You took me as an example, and followed my lead. You're quiet, you plan a lot, it's so hard for you to fall in love. Was it all my fault? Sometimes I think that if I was normal like the others, you wouldn't be this way. But if so, then what is this throbbing in my heart that feels so happy that you look at me. Why am I so glad that you see me as who I am? Why do I feel that no matter how hard I put on this mask you see through to my face.
That's what little sisters do

...then what do brothers do?

▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄
Personality

Distant - You stay away, because you're afraid of what you'd bring. Don't you know that there's nothing wrong with you? Maybe you do, but you're afraid of being her brother, because you're not sure how to love...

Gentle - She feels it, through the way you look the way you act. She knows you're kind. Maybe you're too kind, too considerate and you're afraid she would grow weak, weak like you are.

Withdrawn - You don't like company. Perhaps it was because you grew up alone. You don't like how everyone judges everyone just because everyone is different.

Still - You're emotional, that's clear. But you hide it so well that no one knows what you're thinking, even her. In a way you can be hard to approach and they are afraid of upsetting you. At the same time, they also know that you're...

Patient - It takes a lot to upset you. Sometimes they think you have suppressed emotions, and perhaps that's true but you can handle it.

Detached - Even with those you consider friends, you don't seem to feel for them. To Chroma, you leave her on her own; to love who she wants, to go where she wants, to come to you when she wants, and to leave you when she wants.

Concise - You're straightforward. You tell her everything, her flaws, her strengths. Perhaps most are annoyed. But you also see yourself, so maybe that's why...you're you.
▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄▄

Finally...Call my name...
"When I keep a secret, there is a cost, and when I kept my love a secret that cost was your love. If I spoke the truth, there is also a cost. When I said I would always love you no matter who you are, maybe the cost was the other person you might have been. The perfect person I strive to become. But then again, what's a brother supposed to do with a perfect sister?"

In the end where are we now? Did anything really matter? It's as if you are everything I want you to be, even if I had no expectations for you. I didn't want to shape who you are, it might be against your will. And in the end I doesn't matter.

Who do you see when you look my way? An idol? A friend? An angel? If you are my candle, am I your flame? Perhaps I'm a boundary you want to overcome, a wind you keep on chasing. That's fine with me. As long as you're happy, I will always be happy. As long as I'm alive, I will always love you. Perhaps you hate me, maybe you think I'm a stain on the family like father thinks...

But that's alright.

"I will always be here for you. No matter what happens.
Because that's what big brothers do. And I will love you always..."

Why I want him:

Reasoning is not my forte. Perhaps it's his design that's attractive, or it may just be those type of connections you can't break. Creating Kaiden, it's one of those times where you just have to grit your teeth and go all out at once. Then if you've lost motivation, it means you don't want him. Well, the more I write, the more I feel him. And here you have it, my Kaiden.
