"Stalking," Jua said, his voice low, "is a key element of hunting.
You must get as close as you can to your pray before you reveal
yourself." He shifted his body and tilted his head just high enough
to see above the tall, golden savanna grass. Antelope were grazing
nearby, clueless of the king and his son's presence. "You mustn't go
about making noise," He said. "They might not be as superior as us
lions, but they have keen ears. They can hear even the slightest of
sounds." Rangi hadn't been paying as much attention as he'd like to
have been, but the last few sentences caught his ear. He hated when
Jua bragged about lions being the most superior species. It made him
feel odd, as if he should be guilty. But all he could do was nod. He did
not dare express his opinion, or even talk. Jua nodded back. Quickly,
he turned back to the antelope. "You have to keep your eyes on your
prey at all times. At any point they could notice you or catch a whiff
of your scent." Rangi nodded again, chancing a look at the antelope.
"You must keep yourself low to the ground, and must only raise your
head enough to see them." Jua positioned himself so he was no longer
lying, but so that he was crouching. "With every step you must take
caution. Watch me, and watch how I get close." Rangi only nodded
in response. He watched his father for a moment, until a glint of
color caught his eye. A light pink butterfly was hovering near his
side. He gasped in delight. But as soon as he did he knew it was a
mistake. But it was too late. The antelope didn't have to look up
to know he was there. They had taken off, and right as Jua was
about to, as he'd say, "reveal himself". This happened often, as
Rangi was easily distracted. But that didn't stop him from feeling
horrible each time it happened. Jua whipped his head around, his
dark eyes glaring deep into Rangi's. Rangi cowered back, shaking.
Jua drew near. He hovered above him. He lifted his paw, and he
swooped it under his eye. Rangi didn't have to ask to know what
it meant. He turned and ran, fighting back tears, to get the paint.
Rangi awoke with a tiny, quiet yawn. He blinked, taking in morning's
sunlight. It also took him a moment to realize where he was, and once
he did, he let out a tiny sigh. It was like this every morning - he'd have
a wonderful dream, only to wake up to find he had just awaken in the
same cave he'd slept in all of his life next to all of the other lions he'd
lived with all of his life. And then he'd sigh. He wished his dream were
real. But they weren't, and he was sure they'd never be. But there was
one thing that he looked forward to every morning - some time alone
with his thoughts. So he crept out of the cave, which was something
he'd perfected doing, as he had done it so many times already. He
even enjoyed it a little, making it a dance. But his smile - and the
rest of his body - froze every time a lion stirred. Usually, if the lion
were to wake up, he'd break into a run so he wouldn't get caught.
But if the lion was Jua, he'd stay frozen and hang his head. He'd
even try to escape his mother - but not Jua. He'd never dare mess
with the king. Luckily, this morning, no one even stirred at all, so
Rangi got out without a hitch. Once the cave was out of sight, he
relaxed and found one of his favorite spots - a little and strangely
comfortable rock that lied the shade of his favorite tree - a tree
that was older than he could ever image. But his favorite part
about the tree was how it still provided even though it had lived
so many years of providing. It provided shelter and food for birds,
squirrels, and insects, it provided shade to Rangi. He figured all of
the birds, squirrels, and insects that visited the tree could learn a lot
from it. "And Jua could learn a lot, too," he mumbled under his breath.
Then he gasped. Had he really said that - and out loud? He had never said
such a thing. He stood to his paws. He felt guilty for saying what he had,
but he also felt something else. Bravery. Which was something he defiantly
wasn't. He looked up at his favorite tree. Had the tree done it? Had the tree
once again provided him with something? He smiled, and lied back down on
the rock. "I guess I could learn a lot from trees, too." He chucked a little.

I still have to do this page (134) but that will have to wait for tomorrow. Busy days...
Thanks for the cute revamp, Lilltbear

"A Chaotic Good character favors change for a greater good, disdains bureaucratic organizations that get in the way of social improvement, and places a high value on personal freedom, not only for oneself, but for others as well.. Chaotic Good characters always intend to do the right thing, but their methods are generally disorganized and often out of sync with the rest of society. They may create conflict in a team if they feel they are being pushed around, and often view extensive organization and planning as pointless, preferring to improvise.

If something is not addressed, assume that you can do it.
For instance, if a kennel says DO NOT CHANGE SPECIES, you cannot change the species. If the kennel says nothing about changing the species, you have the option of doing so, if you choose to take this route.
Also, if you're not sure, you can always message the user who donated it for information.
Since I was the one who created Rodney, I can tell you that I don't mind if you keep his name or change it - if it was something else that I'd rather not be changed, like his gender, then I would have said so in the donation form.
Hopefully this helps!
