What is their most treasured possession?;
ceto's parents both had a natural affinity for water and marine creatures. as a result, they paired themselves with humans who studied the oceans, where they eventually crossed paths. some years later, they were happily expecting their first child together. one of them stumbled across a very large tiger shark plush not long after they found out they were expecting and despite the other's protests, got it anyway; it was larger than her when she was a newborn. upon her birth, they were both very surprised by how - ironic their choice of a first gift was upon seeing their daughter's unusual appearance. they didn't have any recollection of any sleepy in their family having an unusual tail, or a fin. with one of her parents being quite into mythology, they had picked her name before her birth and decided to go along with it. they both adored their daughter and introduced her to a love of everything oceanic from birth. ceto was inseparable from her cuddly companion, dubbed leviathan or levi for short, refusing to sleep without them - leading to some tiresome hours when the teddy was accidentally misplaced.

as ceto grew older and interacted with other young sleepies around her age, she was sometimes the recipient of ignorant comments, the ones who said it not noticing how hurt she would be by how casually they tossed words around, or plain out teased and bullied by others. whenever she was feeling down, she'd curl with levi and tell the plush stories about the creatures that lived in the ocean; from a once-lonely shark to mermaids who couldn't sing. other times, she would bring levi down to the pool with her while she swam; with her fin and tail, ceto is a very adept swimmer and often says that being in water is one of the only places she truly feels home. sometimes leaving levi on the side of the pool, or putting them on a float to 'swim' alongside her.

levi was never put away as childhood toys often are, though ceto's not that old - to this day, she still cuddles up with the big, striped brown-grey and white plush. they had a large impact on her interests; from a young age she fell in love with sharks and is a proud shark activist. when she's not sleeping she can usually be found researching sharks or watching a (decent) documentary on her favourite creatures.


❝ ❞

History;
ceto's childhood was fairly average. born in kauai, hawaii to a pair of ocean loving sleepies. her parent's first child, she was the apple of their eyes despite her unusual appearance which was sometimes the recipient of rude comments (leading to wonderfully sassy fights on her papa's behalf, much to her daddy's mixture exasperation that it had happened again and amusement as whoever had dared to open their mouth was swiftly cut down to size.) she spent a lot of time in and around water, her papa's human companion being a marine biologist and her daddy's a photographer with a profound love of the ocean and it's many beautiful, and sometimes strange, inhabitants.

when she was a few years old, ceto began to take note of her fathers interactions with their dearest human families and found she longed for her own companion to go off and have adventures with, and sleep curled up beside. not long after her birthday, she bid her parents so long and left her childhood home with her beloved stuffed tiger shark, levi, in search of adventure. just a few days later, she met a young human girl named iolana while out swimming.

the pair were quickly enamoured with each other. for several years, they were nearly inseparable and could often be found swimming together, looking at fish and creating stories about their ocean friends. however, as iolana grew older she lost interest in spending time with the gummy-shark blue sleepy. it only became worse when iolana's parents informed her they were moving to ireland. once they arrived, she lost all interest ceto. ceto became depressed; far away from her family, her human family having no interest or time for her, far from the ocean.

on one warm day in october, the girl brought ceto to the beach for the first time since they'd arrived in their new home. as ceto splashed in the water that was too cold for her liking, iolana dropped the tiger shark plush on the sand and drove away. confused, ceto waited by levi until nightfall when she dragged the teddy towards the long grass above the sand and settled down. it was almost a fortnight before she was found by another sleepy. a vibrant sleepy named jack who stumbled across the now sickly ceto as he rushed towards the ocean. he was quick to alert his human companion and fellow sleepies, cyrus and bennie.

his human was quick to sweep the sleepy and her toy up and rushed to get her help; taking in ceto as she recovered. ceto has since gotten back in contact with her parents and family, and has even visited them with her newfound family.




Personality;
ceto can be a bit shy upon first meeting her; small, reserved smiles and slightly awkward conversation as she tries to find her feet, though if jack's around trying to give someone the 'if you hurt her' speech she can open up a little quicker as she apologises for the tiny little ball of fury's attitude over his head. she's easy to get along with her open minded attitude, though she can often speak without thinking first.

if there's one thing she's truly passionate about, it's water. while her heart belongs to the oceans, she also takes great interest in rivers and lakes. ceto can frequently saying that she only truly feels at home is when she's in the water. when it comes to nature documentaries, she especially loves ones about the depths of the oceans and the interesting creatures that live there.

Ohana means family.
Family means nobody gets left
behind or forgotten.

relationships with my fellow sleepies
it seems that i've lucked out so far in that the members of my little sleepy family all get along,
they can often be found all cosied up together.

relationship with - cyrus
ceto does not get to see as much of cyrus as she would ideally like to, with cyrus preferring
to spend most of his waking hours indoors. why, she isn't sure since he's always so happy out
in the fresh air. she has made it her personal mission in life to get him outdoors more often.
after cyrus realised ceto's affinity for sharks and the ocean, he brought her as many oceanic
books as he could find in the shop. cyrus also shares her love of the rain and the pair can
sometimes be found sleeping cuddled on a pillow together in a window while it rains.

relationship with - bennie
bennie is one of ceto's best buds. as ceto recovered, it was bennie who spent the most time
with her. staying up with her and fussing over her like she was a tiny sleepy again; truly living
up to her nickname as 'nanny.' they can often be found bouncing story ideas off each other
while having a cup of tea. bennie is a tad overprotective of ceto, due to her past. she is also
the one ends up dragging ceto inside when it starts to rain because she got distracted by the
bees returning to their hive and caring for her during her inevitable colds or flues.

relationship with - jack
it was jack who stumbled across ceto in the first place and as a result, the two are very close.
the pair both enjoy being outside and both have fairly high energy levels. despite jack being
tiny, barely coming up to her chest, he is very protective of her and usually makes a threat to
any potential new friends in case they hurt her feelings. the pair enjoy playing video games
together when they can't go outside, and can be usually be found curled up with each other
when their energy levels drop.

sexuality ;; pansexual

theme song ;; once i was seven years old

favourite movies ;; 'lilo and stitch' and 'finding nemo'
lilo and stitch holds a special place in ceto's heart. as it's set in hawaii, it reminds ceto of home. one of her favourite scenes is the opening where lilo is feeding pudge, the weather controlling fish as she spent a lot of time when she was younger swimming with fish. she also enjoys the theme of the family and found families. she enjoys finding nemo for the graphics, as well as the continuing theme of family, it probably is also because of the fact that it's set underwater and features many sea creatures.

dislikes ;; the dark, the cold, being alone.
ceto's three biggest dislikes add up to her fear of being abandoned again. while she enjoys going outside a night to see the stars or nocturnal animals out and about; she rarely, if ever, goes outside alone in fear of her family leaving her while she's away. ceto never had much of a problem being alone when she was younger, so long as she knew what time her family would be back at and she could sleep or watch something, but it is her greatest fear now. even as a young sleepy, ceto disliked the cold; generally stealing every blanket she could in the house to curl up in.

Ponyo's most prized possession was a small vial that contained the last few droplets of water from the 'Fountain of Youth'. His parents were the guardians of the legendary area, keeping enemies and unworthy beings away from it. The Fountain itself was a shrouded mystery, hidden deep in a sacred Japanese village home to a small Sleepy Dragon clan. Many of these Dragons possess rare fish traits, naturally making them excellent swimmers- Ponyo himself wasn't quite the skilled swimmer, he was slow in the water, and could barely catch any fish because of it. But the poor Dragon knows that within time and practice, he will become better.

The Fountain works... a bit wonky, for lack of a better word. It basically knows whenever the Earth is deteriorating, when it is becoming hotter or colder, whenever a war starts. The water in the Fountain slowly dries up whenever a disaster happens. As it has existed for millions of years, the water supply is almost empty at this point, and the Guardians knew all about it. Unfortunately, their souls are tied to the Fountain, Ponyo's included, meaning if there was no more water, they would die. It came as part of the contract of guarding such a place. The Guardians knew they were getting old and accepted the fate of death, but little Ponyo did not deserve to go in such a way.

The last few drops of water in the Fountain were grouped up in a small puddle, and the Guardians had to act fast to preserve it in case of another major disaster. They gathered the droplets in a small shatterproof vial, closed it with a cork, and strung it on a long piece of plant fiber.

"Ponyo," his mother started, tears in her eyes. "Take care of this vial. In it holds your life." She looped the necklace around Ponyo's neck- as long as he was near the small container of water, he would live. "We love you." The two Dragons then ushered their child outside, closing off the entrance to the Fountain, to pass away peacefully inside, once the water in it has fully dried up- which it wasn't far from doing.

The first thing Ponyo did was cry. He cried his little eyes out, cursing the stupid Fountain, wondering why his parents chose to protect it.. he cursed it all, now they were gone. The little Dragon was aware of the fact that he has to be careful of the small vial, as it is the one little thing that is keeping him alive. He stood up slowly, deciding immediately to give the clan elder a visit.
---
"Ah, Ponyo," the elderly Dragon arose from slumber as he sensed Ponyo's presence, he could tell straightaway that something was wrong with the younger Dragon. "Is something the matter?"

"Th-the fountain dried up," Ponyo sniffled. "They're d-dead, Haruto-sama." At this, the elder's eyes widened, and he immediately arose to comfort the child. "Oh, Ponyo... I'm so sorry," He whispered. "Just remember to be strong, young one. Things will get better soon."

The smaller Dragon wiped his eyes and tried to let out a smile. "Thank you," He murmured. Right then and there did Ponyo decided not to live in the past, but the present. He will stay strong, for the sake of his parents.

-Ponyo was a softhearted dragon, albeit a bit naive, he always sprung into action without thinking- which was a trait he needed to work on, as getting into trouble could damage his life source, the vial. The shark-like dragon was also working on becoming less clumsy, sometimes his tail could get in the way, knocking over objects and accidentally bumping it into others. It wasn't that much of a bad thing, he could literally swing it around as if it was a weapon.

He was also a bit childish, as expected since he was quite young. Ponyo is prone to temper tantrums, throwing tantrums at the littlest things, such as a fly that was bothering him, to a fish that bit him while he tried to catch it. Afterwards Ponyo would feel bad about starting the tantrum, and try his best to improve his mood.

The dragon was a troublemaker, plain and simple. Whenever he wasn't sleeping he would be up to mischief, plotting pranks on the entire clan. He would try to lie his way out of trouble too, but every clan member knew that he was the only dragon who would even try to pull a prank. Some of them won't lie, it kept them on their toes, and a little fun here and there is needed.

All-in-all Ponyo was a young little troublemaking dragon who still had much to learn through all of his adventures, and he is very determined to become the clan leader when he is older. The dragon knows he has to work hard to obtain that title, it was a title of honor and strength, but once Ponyo has his mind set on something, he won't back down.

-Ponyo didn't really have an occupation, but he liked to help out other animals that were in need. Whenever he wasn't asleep or plotting a prank, he would be walking through the forest, looking to see if any animal needed help. One of Ponyo's favorite jobs was to help them redecorate their dens, he had a bit of an artistic outlook on decoration, and they seemed happy with his decorating- and so was he. Ponyo's own little den was decorated to the brim with gifts from clan mates and random objects he found on his adventures.

One of the dragon's most memorable events happened very recently. There was a small fawn trapped on a little island in the middle of a small lake- and an adolescent leopard was swimming towards it at a quick pace. Without thinking, Ponyo swam his quickest towards the leopard, letting out what he thought were intimidating growls. It slowed the big cat down a bit, but it wasn't scared of him at all. Once they reached the island, Ponyo quickly slapped the cat with his oversized tail, to which the leopard let out a snort and swam off. The fawn was very happy- it's mother came right after the leopard left, and they both left together after giving Ponyo their gratitude. It was probably Ponyo's most dangerous adventure yet, but it was definitely a turning point in his life, making him a bit more stronger and braver than before.
