❝ . . . Ah, so you have found my intelligence journal, of sorts. I suppose you are here to learn more about my relationship with my family members. Well, as you may infer from what you learned earlier, we do not get along very well most of the time, except for a select few. These 'entries' are a bit more in depth, and some tend to tell the daily routine I have with some of my siblings. They deserve to be pranked, hurt, torn apart, and so do my parents. They are the ones who caused all of this trouble for us, they are the ones who have made my life miserable and contained. As for complaints about my life, you will tend to find those in my journal, which I have decided to let you read a small portion of . . . ❞

They are hated by most everyone in the family, they are rarely at home, and it's their fault that their children are trying to be murdered

My parents are vile creatures, ones that show no love, no care, no interest in my life, or any of my other siblings. The only sibling they might even remotely care about is Eviana-Marie, and they turned her into a robotic puppet. My parents mean nothing to me, every time they are in the main Mansion, or anywhere near my house, I avoid them. I do not want to have anything to do with them. I do not even care to address them as 'mother' and 'father'.
I do not understand why Vector was bent on murdering Alexander Morado. What had he done that was so wrong, that could possibly bring on death at such a young age? Now, because of Vector, my siblings and I have assassins after us 24/7. Minerva; I do not care as much if she is killed, perhaps they would take Kotar along with her. But to have assassins possibly after Stencil, or any of my nephews and niece is simply unfair.
Delphine, what an annoying woman. I hardly see any of her, and I wish not to. I do not like any aspect of her; including her looks. She clings to Vector all the time, and I am pretty sure she has not had a proper schooling, considering that her vocabulary is that of a toddler. The only thing that I can begin to appreciate from her is that she pays my house bills for me, and grants me an allowance of about $500 per week.
Another one of us is bound to be assassinated eventually, just look at how Deveroux died. I cannot really say that we were as close as Stencil and I are, but he was not a bad older brother. I feel pity for him some days, dying at 14, all because of Vector. That man should have died instead of him. Vector has pretty much seen everything the world has to offer, all he cares about now is money, but I guess that cannot be helped.

Was a ladies man and a heartbreaker, over competitive and very sporty, extremely disloyal (could not be trusted), was close to Divine. Murdered by assassins sent by the Morado family

From what I know of Deveroux, he was not much of an older brother. I rarely saw him, and he usually was with Divine or surrounded by a gaggle of girls. He was traitorous, disloyal to the rest of us. I am convinced that he cared for no one in this family, except maybe Divine.
His death was a hard hit for Divine, she was out of it for a long time. All she tells me of him is that he was wonderful, kind, happy, funny, loyal, etc. Divine betrays no hint of his true personality, and I believe that was either because he pretended to act like that around her, or the shock of his death hurt Divine so much that thats all she can remember him as. She portrays him as a sort of saint.
I honestly do not care that he died. It is tragic, yes, but I was never close to him. It was a death caused by hatred and revenge, which I can understand.

If she had not asked me to play me "silly little mind games" on her, and if she had not ended up as a puppet for Vector and Delphine, then I would end up pranking Eviana as much as I do to Minerva. I understand where she comes from, and it was not her fault that she became a puppet. Maybe if she were not so pessimistic and cold, Eviana would be more alive, happier than she is now.
Now all she ever wants to do is care for myself and my other siblings. Oh, and she is always practicing her sword fighting skills. I tried to learn once but it was no use, I found I was more skilled with a bow and arrow. Eviana always does things by herself, but she does them for us. I cannot believe how she can live through this situation, and sometimes I do not think she realizes that this may go on for the rest of her life.
I can pretty much get whatever I want out of her, and she will do what I ask without hesitation. Given this fact, it is pretty hard to twist around her emotions, as I love to do with others, and there is nothing that I can really get from her, since she gives everything willingly and has a fantastic memory. Occasionally, I will play small pranks on her, but for the most part, I stay out of her path. I do not remember her much in my childhood, I do not believe we were ever close, or ever will be.

Pretty chill, ran away when I was 8 to Hawaii, met Chione in Hawaii and had kids two years later

Wave is almost my favorite but not quite. He is an interesting Dragon, for what it is worth. He is so laid back, and "chill" about everything. I can understand why he hates this family so much, and why he ran away when I was 8. He must have had a fun time in Hawaii, plus he met the love of his life there.
This proves that sticking anywhere near any Xianthus's keeps your options limited, and keeps your life dull, miserable, awful. The only reason why I am slightly kind to him is because he tells funny jokes that really brighten up my day, and of course, make me laugh. I have no objections to pranking him thought. He did go to Hawaii without bringing me, we could have escaped my family together. But no, he just left without thinking of anyone. I cannot blame him though. I just wish he had thought of me.
And of course he has two sons and a daughter now. He does not have much time for me, and when I do go to visit him he usually asks me to watch the kids.
Ah, well, families are tough, and it must be hard to take care of them.

[size=85] I do not really like Chione, but I do not hate her. I tend to leave her alone, and I really do not care about her at all.
I do not have much to say on her really, since I figure gathering any information on her is completely useless. She has no secrets to hide, and she has no connections with anyone important. She would not understand the relationship between the Morado and Xianthus families, and she rarely has to deal with the same sufferings I go through each day.

Suspicious of everyone, general dislike towards everyone, nagger, sympathetic, generally cruel towards everyone

"I hate her" cannot even begin to describe how much I hate Minerva.
She acts like a child, not to mention she is the size of one, and her tsundere attitude just annoys me. Every time I have ever tried to say hello to her, or be slightly kind towards her, she just scowls at me, hits me, and may either suddenly become really angry, or bright and cheerful. She makes no sense to me, and I do have to say I put most of my efforts into gathering intelligence on her.
I do not trust her, not in the slightest. She does not trust me either, suspicion is in her nature. She may pretend to be loyal to our family, and she may pretend to care about us, but who knows what she is doing behind the scenes. So far, I have not found anything of that sorts going on, but I am sure one day I will.
One of the more annoying and idiotic things she does is coloring my black and white paintings or charcoals. I can see how she would see it as 'revenge' or 'payback' for my awful pranks (which she has no proof that I have done), but really, to color in my paintings? In shades of pink? The last time she did this, I replaced her bed with a water bed, put spiders of all kinds in the bedding, and poked a hole in it later in the night. I also tried to steal Kotar from her once, to see if I could do it, and to crush Minerva. She does not deserve love or care from another Dragon, she is a hateful, horrible being.
Maybe if Minerva was not so purposely rude to others, and she was not such a goody two shoes, I might enjoy her company better.

Nerdy, a bit of a pushover, easily hurt, nerdy, studious

The only reason I dislike Kotar is because he is Minerva's husband.
There is not anything specific I hate about him, but I find him annoying also. He is so quiet, studious, and to be frank, he is simply a nerd. Had I been with Minerva when she and Kotar were in school, I would have bullied him also, just because he is weak, and cannot stand up for himself.
I wish more drama would start up between Kotar and another girl. I tried to do it myself, but I found that as seemingly possible it was, I could not force myself to be all 'lovey-dovey' around him, and my plan failed. Minerva was not happy with it, and Kotar did not say anything about it. I do not think he even noticed what I had been trying to do. For such a 'smart' Dragon, I would have thought he would catch on easily and quickly.

Must be the center of attention, insecure, needs to feel loved, flirty, pulls people towards her

Divine, oh poor, lovely Divine. She is an attention needer, a wanter, whatever. She constantly needs someone near her to tell her that she looks pretty, or that her fashion sense if fabulous, or help her decide whether she should wear the blue hat or green boots.
The one thing that confuses me about her is the fact that she is now friends with Paradise Morado. Occasionally, I will follow her and Ara to Paradise's hiding spot and just listen to their conversation. I do not understand how my sister could possibly stand to be near one of the Morado's, they are the ones that killed Deveroux. I do not bring up this topic whenever I visit her mansion, since I believe that she does not know that I know of her situation yet. I will find a better way to gather information about this though, Divine is easily manipulated.
All I have to do is give her some sort of attention, and show just a tad bit of love. It is so easy to do, though it requires a lot of effort on my part. Divine is constantly seeking attention from others and myself, it does get tiring, and annoying easily. Perhaps she will confide in me the situation with Paradise some day, seeing as I am the only one who has bothered to get close to her. Divine could potentially be a good and ever flowing source of information on the Morado family.
For now, I will keep up my charade, and continue to follow Divine.

Ah, my seafaring sister. She is quite the interesting soul, and has quite the wandering spirit.
I wonder if life at sea is as fun and she says it is. I rarely see her around the main mansion, and I envy her as I envied Wave when he left for Hawaii. I dare not to ask her if I can accompany her. I do not know how to sail, and she is trying to get away from her family. Plus, I would bring upon a larger number of assassins on journey.
I did find out about her relationship with the stars, unbeknownst to her. Her dancing really is graceful, and beautiful, but she would kill me if I told her what I found out. I do not wish to die young, and especially not at the hand of my sister. Once, she let me on her ship, and took me on a quick tour of it, along with a short ride out at sea. I was not paying attention to my Jewel power, and I accidentally turned her ship into a pink and white, mermaid ridden, beautiful and pretty ship. She was not happy, and I have not been on the ship since.
Somehow, she managed to turn it back, but I do not know how. I am just glad that she was not too angry with me.

My favorite sibling, and my brother. He is only a bit younger than myself, but he is so childish. I love that about him, and his short term memory always makes me laugh. He reminds me of Lennie from "Of Mice and Men".
I do not have anything to say about him really, except that I love him. I do my best to protect him from the harsh, outside world, and my family. Calysto was watching him before I came along, but when she left for the sea, I took on her duty, and found that Stencil was the only sibling I could tolerate.
I will continue to care for him until one of us dies. Hopefully, that will never happen.

Pierre is simply annoying. He is the embodiment of all viciousness, troublemaking, and rudeness in a child. I am afraid that his parents are not doing a very good job in filtering what he says. Of course, they never do hear exactly what he says to others. One moment he is sweet and innocent, the next he is a demon.
I do not know if I like him or hate him yet. He is still a child, and has much to learn and much to develop into. Perhaps later on in his life he will be better behaved, though I doubt his rudeness will never disappear. He does like to keep a smile on his face all the time though, which contributes to his multiple personality displays.
I believe I may grow to like him at some point, Pierre does remind me of myself at some points. Sometimes, he will help me prank my siblings, but he usually tells them I did it not to long after.

Fizu, I do not like as much. She criticizes everything she sees, no matter what it is, or if you are a Dragon. She always has something to say too, and she snaps at everyone all the time, including her parents.
Sometimes, Fizu will have something intelligent or interesting to say. She is not stupid, and I have to admit that she is smart for her age. But most of the time, she just talks about botany, which I find dull. In her opinion, nature is flawless, beautiful, serene, and perfect in every aspect. She can go on and on and on about this, and if you happen to leave, she will keep talking and takes no notice that you left.
I do not think that I will ever like her, but I do predict that she will become a botanist later in life.

I feel pity for Chihiro. To be deaf and mute is an awful curse to be put upon a child. She will never know the sounds of laughter, waves crashing on the ocean, anger, violence, misery. She will never be able to speak well either, given the fact that she cannot hear. Chihiro will adapt though, and it will be possible to teach her sign language.
I never know what to do around her, and usually we just roll or throw a ball back and forth to each other. Sometimes I will bake her tarts, or let her paint in my studio. I am always sure to keep her away from all bodies of water, a fear that Minerva shares as well. Chihiro is very nice, and very kindhearted. I do not think that she will ever learn the true meaning of mean. She certainly will not learn it from me, I refuse to take the blame if that kind of situation arises.
For now, I will watch her just as carefully as I watch Stencil, but someone else will have to play with her. Perhaps Divine will do that.
