Basic information
Username:
Hi there! I'm OrangeSocks, a teen girl who lives in the USA. I am a huge roleplayer and love writing stories. I enjoy drawing, reading and doing stuff that has to do with MLP.
Kennel number: 29
Why do you want this character?
This character is what I've been trying to make. A canine/feline like creature that has wings and a simple design. However, when I try to do this, the creature always ends up looking too cat like or dog like. This is what I have been trying to do, now I have found one and I can give it a life :3
Where will you use it, and what will you use it for?
Art, roleplaying, dreaming (yes, all my character appear in my dreams) I mostly roleplay with humans, but I want to try using an animals. This character seems to have human like qualities so I can ease into animal roleplaying with her. As for art, I plan to create Theo and get pictures/make pictures of them together.
Planned Changes to it's design: I would like to shorten the ears and change to eye color, and also add ink splotches to the wings and paws. As for a major change, I would also like to remove her front legs so that Nile will have to use mostly her wings and wing painting sounds like a wonderful art for her :3 If this is not okay, I'll be fine with keeping her four legged :3.
Character information
Name: Nile
Gender: Fluid She/They
(Nile's mother never got around to buying a color camera and was not a good photographer. Here is one one of her photos of Nile)
(All by me)
|Personality:| Nile is a drawer. She uses her paws to draw by dipping it them ink and sometimes uses her wings. She has used them so much that her fur and feathers are permanently stained. Nile can spend hours on just a corner of her canvas, placing line after line on top of each other. She is a slight perfectionist and sometimes throws her canvases away if one line is incorrect. However, when she gets things just right, Nile gets so much joy from her art she can barely contain it. Nile will often fly to a forest to listen to the birds to calm herself from her excitement. When she is unable to, Nile will let herself eat a lot of sugar. Theo doesn't like showing his art to her, because this may happen. Nile is trying her best to calm down when she sees a piece he has made.
Then:When not painting, Nile has a hard time being around others. She suffers from social anxiety and may blurt out random things when asked a question. She isn't shy, but she never knows what to do around others. At night, Nile always comes up with things she could have said and wishes she had.
Now: Nile is a quick thinker and is kinder to others then herself. She gives a lot to Theo, and never expects anything in return. When shopping for food, Nile rushes through the store, trying not to talk to many others, however, she has been practicing with the cashier and they have become friends. Around him, Nile is slightly bubbly, Theo doesn't approve. When they go shopping together, Theo listens to all that they say and argues with Nile about it when they get home. Nile does her best to defend her friend, but she has not been in a fight since she was a child. They rarely end on a happy note and will not talk to each other until the next day.
|Family:| Nile was born to a mother that was barely an adult. Her father left them before Nile was born. Nile's mother, Siref, did her best to support herself and the child, but the anxiety was to much. Siref fell into a pit of despair and barely acknowledged her child. Nile spent most of her time alone. However, when Nile was around 8 years old, Siref met another Lynx. They were very kind and caring to Siref. Nile didn't respond well to them. She was used to being alone, taking care of herself, she didn't like the idea of someone being there for her. Or maybe she was scared of change. When her mother married them, a large Lynx name Ciel, Nile ignored them, her mother and mostly everything else.
When Nile turned 13 and was in the middle of being harassed by her friends, Ciel came up to her. They knew Nile didn't like them, but they couldn't bare to see her in such a sad state. That day, Nile's mother had gone off to try to find a job, Ciel took Nile to an art gallery. They knew Nile had always loved art, and hoped they could help her somehow. Nile tried not to show interest, but she couldn't help it. Flying around the gallery, looking at everything, Nile relaxed. When they thought it was a good time, Ciel spoke to her. They told her about their childhood and being harassed for not choosing to be male or female, not fitting in, wanting to be a winged Lynx and so much more. They told Nile so much, I can't say what because it is very personal to her, but this impacted Nile to start to trust Ciel.
When Siref died from sickness and it was only Nile and Ciel. She blamed Ciel for her mother's death. They had encouraged Siref to get a job, and Siref died from over working and cold. She had stayed at work for hours during the frost season, wanting to support the family. All the trust Nile had for Ciel was lost.
As Nile moved out, Ciel promised them self that no matter how much Nile hated them, they would take care of her.
|Story/History:| Nile always knew she would be a her or them, but many others didn't understand why she went with either one. While others where playing with each other, Nile was staring at grass. Oddball often came to mind when others thought of her. But, Nile was not being odd, she was watching they way the grass moved in the wind and teaching herself how to draw. When Nile entered her preteens, she opened up a bit and made a few friends. They had fun and went places together. This lasted a few years, but they began to not know when playful teasing went to far. Nile often felt harassed by them and tried her best to assert herself. This didn't work, and her social anxiety increased. When her mother died, Nile separated herself from others and delved into painting. The colors were her friends, the shadows and highlights her family. She didn't need anyone else, she didn't need Ciel. Nile lived like this for almost seven years, but then the fact that she was always alone began to eat at her. Nile wanted a community, a group that was like her, shared her interests. Lynx that she could trust. Nile almost went to find Ciel. But, she couldn't bring herself to do it.
Nile tried joining some groups, but found that it was too hard to connect with a already made web of trust. She almost gave up and returned to her secluded life but, she met a very young winged Lynx. Abandoned for it's looks, this Lynx was lost to the world. It's face, torso, wings, tail, all looked like melting candle wax, it's eyes barely worked. Not knowing what to do Nile brought it home. She never liked to judge others by how they looked, but this was hard for her. For the fist few days she was almost unable to look at it. Nile never found out where it was from, and from the way it was terrified of adults, she could tell it had a hard life before it was abandoned. Nile coaxed it to warm up to her by using her paints. She tool the tip of it's knurled tail and guided it through the cold inks. She helped it learn to pull it's tail across the canvas. It began to understand it was safe.
After a few months the little Lynx finally spoke for the first time. Nile didn't know if it had be holding back, or just trying to learn how to speak, but she was thrilled either way. The little Lynx's voice was shaky from un-use, but coherent. It told Nile it had lost it's eye sight completely. It asked if she would teach it to paint what was in it's mind. Nile was blow back by this. She hadn't needed to talk very much to it and her anxiety had not been around for a while. Could she actually teach with words? Nile knew she had no choice. In fact it wasn't her choice at all, it was her duty.
Nile has been learning how to use her words the express herself. The young Lynx has taken on the name Theo and chosen male. His eye sight has not returned or gotten better, but he is okay with that. Side by side they paint, Nile with her intricate inkings, Theo with his swirls of bright and dark colors.
One day, Theo found a letter from Ciel. He couldn't read it, but gave it to Nile. Ciel was living alone, and was sick. They had the same type of sickness Nile's mother had. They had been working to help Nile, to support her adopted child. Nile had never realized or thought about how she payed for her home or health care. All she made went to supplies and food. What had she done? All the blame that had gone toward Ciel has left her, Nile had only thought of Theo. When she finished reading the letter (Theo had insisted she read it out loud and tell him all about Ciel) Theo stared at her with his unseeing eyes. "We have to help Ciel. Please." Nile knew he was right. That day, Nile and Theo flew to where Ciel lived. Theo wasn't a very strong flier and had to rest between Nile's wings every few hours. They found Ciel's small home. Somehow the managed to bring them to Nile's home. Ciel, Nile and Theo spent a very happy year together until Ciel died. Nile and Theo buried them next to their home. She began to sell her art, and Theo painted a gravestone for Ciel. They are living now, still painting, still alone, but at peace.
(I used this for a character contest and didn't win, but I love the story I made)
