Oh, sorry! I didn't know it meant no lineart. Crud, it took me an 3 hours to do those pictures!

Well, that's too bad, because I can't draw on Oekaki!

Kennel:
Fifteen

Name:
Finlandia
(Finn-land-ee-uh)
Goes by Dae.

Breed:
Maned Wolf/Greater Bird of Paradise

Age:
Two; still young.

Why do you want this animal?&What will you do for this animal?:
I'm in love. Something about Dae just made me click with her, connect with her, understand her. I've always loved hybrids, as they give you an opportunity to merge two seperate worlds into one. Dae is absolutely stunning; and I can promise that she would be cherished should she end up with me. If I was able to win her; Dae would become a frequent subject of my study hall doodles; and a much loved "head-mate." She would be given her own website in my character site network, which is 90% finished, where she would be lavshed with art and short stories. This girl is simply too gorgeous to not be drawn many, many times. I plan on going for Riddick, the father of the family that Vita donated next round; and I've gotten what I see as a wonderful story idea for the two of them. <3

Personality:
Finlandia is a lovably eccentric girl; one who will obsess over the little things yet is unable to see the larger picture. She is extremely naive and innocent, which can make her appear to lack intelligence. This is not the truth at all. Dae is intelligent and intellectual, but simply unable to express these thoughts to others. She values simple things like love and the truth; and has an intense hate for those that try to hide things from her. Dae does not understand why she is hunted by the tribesmen; and one of her only wishes is to be free from their oppression. Her two others consist of discovering her origins; and experiencing the emotion of love. Dae is very much a romantic; always interested in gossip and such among her feathered friends, yet has never been truly feel it for herself.

Dislikes&Likes:
Above all else, Dae loves the sunrise. She enjoys howling along to the birds' morning songs in her sweet, high voice; and treasures the warmth and light that come with day. Her hind feet make running awkard; so Dae finds escape and peace in the act of flying; though she prefers to weave between the thick trees than make herself visible above them. Dae likes solitude and time to think; and though she doesn't always show it, loves Paekondrae like an elder sister.

Dae strongly dislikes night and the darkness that comes with it. She prefers to see the dangers of the jungle plain and clear rather than shrouded in the dank blackness. She also detests rain; which is somewhat inconvenient for her considering that her home is the tropical forests of New Guina. Dae hates secrets and hidden things; rather liking to know exactly what she is up against.

History/Backround
Finlandia's story begins around the ending of her first year of age. Her memories start around that first landmark, and no sooner. Prior to that, there was no Finlandia.
She could have been borne to a test tube. She could have been the mortal form of a goddess. She could have been a strange mistake in nature's genetic coding.
She could have been anything, created by anything.
What matters is that even though she lost a year of memories, of life, she became someone.
For when the strange hybrid awoke to the chatter of the colorful birds that she would come to call family, she woke with an extreme case of amnesia.
She knew how to speak, how to think, how to operate her body; but beyond that, she was a very lost and confused creature. The birds, seeing that she was at least partially one of them, took pity on her. One large red female, Paekondrae, took the role of "mother" to the young creature, feeding her, reassuring her, loving her.
And naming her.
One of the happiest moments of the creature's life was being named.
She was no longer "the hybrid." She was Finlandia; Dae.

Small in stature, winged, and feathered; Dae was accepted by the birds of New Guina; loved and treasured. She fit in with their way of life over time; eating seeds and such just like any other bird; and communicating with them in her half language. One of the things that Dae brought with her from her first year of life was her way of speaking. It was a strange mix of both bird and wolf; understandable to both species, yet extremely accented and confusing at times. She ate with them, flew with them, lived with them. Her naive and simple-minded nature kept her happy in her strange environment; though she began to long to know what had happened during her first year within time.

For a creature who was half wolf; New Guina was a very strange place. No wolves inhabited the island; only birds, serpents, insects, and other beings that were quite different from her. She adapted, though. Prevailed through the intense climate, the dangers that the jungle hid. To Dae; the forests were home. The birds were family. In her sheltered little world, that was all that existed and mattered.
Or, at least, that was all that mattered at first.
Because Dae soon discovered man.

New Guinea is a place unlike much of the rest of the world; one where tribes still exist; practicing what they want and living by their own rules.
It was one of these tribes that brought Dae's perfect life to a halt.
One morning while flying high above the high tree-tops; bathing in the glow of the rising sun, Dae had been seen.
And for the superstitious, ignorant, feral people of the tribe; she became known as a demon.
What other name could be applied to the creature?
The birds caught on quickly. They knew the meaning of a group of dark men carrying long, sharp sticks.
They knew the deadly outcomes.
Dae did not; but would soon learn.
And so, because of her unknown past, Dae became prey.
She could no longer soar freely, happily.
She had to hide amongst the branches, always alert, always watching.
Praying that someday, an answer to her pain and fear would come.

Little did she know that that answer would not be in the form of a mighty deadly hurricane to wipe out the tribe, or a message from their "gods;" but rather a tall, grey wolf-dog; one who struggled just as much with life and choices as she did.
And one who, like her, knew no love; yet unlike her, wanted to experience nothing of that sort.

- - - -

It is here that Dae's past would merge with Riddick's; and into their rocky, yet wonderful future together. <3

Broken Scanner = No Art :c

Yeah, no offense, but I think you should put completely drawn by you or no lineart or something.

[eiralune]

Yeah, no offense, but I think you should put completely drawn by you or no lineart or something.

Uh, that'd be kinda hard. If all adoption centers were like that there wouldn't be many adoptions.

I drew my first ever picture on Oekaki of Opium! It is drawn with a laptop pad. Used his kennel pic as a reference!

Oh, that's already a rule here, but I didn't understand. I wasn't saying they should make it a rule. It already is. Look on page 18. adamask said it was.

^_^" Sorry, I've been hanging around lots of lineart soi the rules just stick to me....

[Desmond]

The no lineart rule is doing just fine at TAN, the Goennec thread, and a few other, smaller, adoption events. I see no problem in restricting it to solely art made by the adopter, because it's optional. It's there to further prove that you've developed the personality, because I'm quite sure it's preferable that the drawing shows the character (personality) you've given the creature- which cannot be done in lineart-, rather than just having a second side-shot of the creature as art fodder.
