Major WIP :3

[king_bear]

Edited my post. It was WIP, so I put it here again

What is your kennel number? 'Twelve.'

Hello there. What's your name? 'My name will be Elewyn Niromynha.'
Any nicknames we can call you? 'Just Elewyn.'
That's a pretty hard name. Where does it come from? 'It comes from Elowen.'

Derived from Cornish elew "elm tree". This is a recently coined Cornish name.

Elewyn is 33,926th most common name from USA.

How old are you? 'I'm fifteen seasons old.'
Male or female? 'Female. Though, sometimes I appear to be male.'
Species? 'I'm a horsey.'

What rank as character? 'Just a major character. Though, someday I'll climb up in the ranks.'

Do you have a crush on that special someone? 'Not yet.'
A mate? 'I'll definately find one.'
Any children? 'Not yet.'
What's your sexuality? 'I'm bi.'
Do you prefer male or female? 'As everyone, I prefer male, but I do like female either.'

Describe yourself. 'How I would describe myself? Well... Um... I guess a bit like this...
Most of the time I'm alone. Not because I want to be, but because of something else... I'll tell you later. I don't want to be alone, but on the other side I sort of like it a bit. The silentness, the lone sound of my hooves... And no others. It lies pretty difficult.

I like to make friends, though I never stay with them too long. After a while I'm getting to desire being alone again. This makes it difficult for me to keep my friends, because they never understand that I want to be alone. I've got many friends, but most of them don't like me anymore, because I left them. They just don't understand.

Understanding... Yes, that brings us to the next point. Some say I'm wise. Just because I think before I do things. I think logically, and that way I always come to a certain point, what others call 'being wise'. Some horses ask me to explain things, some ask me to help them with things, but overall they just think I'm 'wise'. I myself am not totally sure if I am 'wise', but I'll just let them thinking it if they get happy from it.

Happiness brings us to the next point. I always appear to be a bit... Down. I don't show my happiness. That's one of my worse points. I don't know why I don't, but I just don't.

You shouldn't think I'm totally perfect. Because I'm not. I've got my worse points. Like not showing my happiness. I'm getting angry very easy. I don't know why. I can't handle it if others insult/betray/exclude me. Someway I want to be alone, but I can't deal with others wanting to be alone, or others who don't include me in things. I'll just get angry. When I am angry, I don't really know anymore what I'm doing. I just... Get raging, and I'm going blind. I don't know if I can get rid of this stupid personal problem, but if I can some way, I'll definately try it.'
What do you like? 'What I like... Well, that's not too hard. As you already know, I love being alone. Nature is also one of my favourite things, because of the beauty and the harmony. Animals. I don't care what kind of, I just love the life Earth has given us. I love water, swimming, making fun with others.'
What do you dislike? 'Um... I surely hate selfish animals. Don't care what kind of animals, I just hate them. Because they can only think about themselves. I am afraid of fire. Because it destroys everything that's in it's way. Oh yeah, and I have a phobia for darkness. Well, for being alone in the darkness. I know, it's not logical, but it's just that way.
Tell us something about your history. 'My history... Well, it's pretty personal, but I guess you guys can know.
I was born in the middle of the summer, fifteen seasons ago. It was warm, and actually a bit too warm to be in the sun. Though, the herd I lived in, which was lead by my father, was at that moment on a place in the middle of a desert. There was no shadow. There was no water. We were travelling, because the land we used to live on, was taken over by twolegs. Twolegs with pipes which hurted, my mother told me. So we were travelling. It was hard to travel through heath and sandmountains, but my father kept us walking with stories about what we would find when we got through. A forest, as far as the eye could see. Mountains at the horizon. Grass everywhere. Pools of water everywhere you looked. It was like heaven for me.
For a season long we travelled through the desert. One by one the others of our herd drained and died. Except me, my mother, a foster foal, my dad and two others. My mother was on the edge of draining, and I could see she would not be able to go on for much longer. Then I saw it. At the horizon. A forest, thousands of gallopsteps wide, millions of gallopsteps long, four horses high. I could already see the water. With all the strength we'd got left we ran, ran towards the heaven on Earth. But when we came there, exhausted and sweating like never before, it was gone. A fata morgana. One by one we lost consciousness.
I awaked in a village. A young twoleg had found us in the desert, all unconscious, and had called the twolegs from the village. They'd pulled us with their Arabians to the village, and putted them in a stable. We got water, food and shadow. Though, I could not eat. They'd separated me and the other foal from our parents. My mother had died. My father was weak. The other two full grown horses had died also. It didn't last days before the twoleg, who was female, who found us came to us to tell that my father also had died. I didn't wanted to eat. I'd no one left in this world, only my friend, the foster foal. She was called Wind. We became best friends. After a year or so, when I had grown up, the village I'd lived in was robbered by other twolegs. Those creatures only could make war. We were taken away, putted on something what the twolegs called a ship and we were send over the sea. I love water, but this really made me angry. The ship kept waving around over the water, there was no peace. Finally, after two weeks on the boat, we arrived at our new land. The twolegs called it America. A bit of a weird name. But I didn't care. I was taken away, separated from Wind and brought to a riding school. A riding school where they tried to ride me. Of course they weren't able to do it. I only wanted to get out of there, with their perfect white walls and their 'posed' horses. Quickly I was branded as 'wild and untamable' and I travelled per train towards the south. The wild south. I'd already heared of it from my horsefriends I made at the riding school. Some of them had been there, and all said that it was the perfect place for me to escape. They putted me in another stable, but this time with cowboys. They tried to ride me also, but again, it wouldn't work. One night I managed to escape. I wandered around in the wild, found the Adoption Center. I was weak. Since I'd travelled through a desert when I was young, I'd been very sensitive for no water. They found me, kept me in the center, and here I am.'

How high do you stand? 'I stand 18,2 hh.'
How much do you weigh? 'You wouldn't ask a girl! Well, 725 kilograms.'

Do you have a pack/herd? 'None yet.'
A rank in your herd? 'None yet.'
Where do you live at the moment? 'In the adoption center But soon enough I'll find a herd to live in happily.'
Any others you share your home with? 'All the other adoption animals. And soon my new friends.'

Who's your father? 'Unknown.'
Who's your mother? 'Unknown.'
Any sisters/brothers? 'My sister Brinwisse.'

Do you have any other pictures of yourself?
'Not yet, but will come soon.'

What do you plan to use this adoption for? As a character. Since I'm collecting them (and doing something with every single one of them) I'm looking around for adoption agencies and adopting characters.

Kennel Number:
Six | #Six.
Name:
Rayne.
Gender:
Female | ♀
Species:
Anthropomorphic Husky.
What do you plan to use this adoption for:
I plan to have Rayne in my character site, located here.
Personality:
You know that saying, 'Looks can be deceiving'? Well, this defines Rayne in a nutshell. Even though her pelt, with it's soft, pastel colors that look like she would be more of a shy, quiet dog, Rayne is the complete opposite, except when it comes to daydreaming. She loves to mess around, and isn't afraid to get dirty. She will jump at a challenge, and will almost automatically accept it, even if it means getting rough.
Likes:
:3 Caleb
:3 Daydreaming
:3 School breaks
:3 Flowers
Favorites:
:D Rainbows
Dislikes:
:( School
Hates:
>:( Bullies
Favorite phrases:
"Bring it on!"
"Girl power!"
Strengths:
Rayne is a strong hearted girl, willing to fight and get dirty for the ones she loves. Because of that, she is definitely not a princess who would be screaming in a tall tower for help. Oh, no, Rayne wouldn't even dream of asking for help unless she found herself in serious trouble, and she feels like she needs the assistance, which is not that often.
Weaknesses:
Because of her brave and rather careless nature, she tends not to think before she enters a dare or something that could potentially be bad for her and sometimes someone else too, specifically Caleb. Even though if they get in a situation like this and Caleb, with his careful nature, tries to reason with her to get them out of it, she is a hard head and won't really listen unless she feels it is rather serious.
Background:

Note:

All of the characters in this story are anthro unless otherwise stated.

I sat in Math class, bored. I looked over at the clock, trying not to scream. I had just got here, and yet it was already irritating me, this class! Ugh... what parents will make you go through just to learn... I was just beginning to daydream when I was snapped out of my thoughts by a voice. Of course! It was the teacher! Blinking, I slowly nodded. "Um... twenty-four?" The whole class laughed at me, knowing that I wasn't paying attention and that I was most likely daydreaming, like I always do. So what? Well... I guess I shouldn't in class. Oh well. I was probably gonna die of boredom anyway. The teacher frowned at me, "No, Rayne, that is not the correct answer. The answer is two." I shrugged, sighing. After that, school just seemed to drone on more and more. It was awful, until I was about to leave school. Then it turned into horrible.

Why?

Boys.

I overheard a small group of them talking casually in one of the halls. Curious, I slowly walked by them, listening. "That dreamer is so pathetic," I heard one scoff. One of his other buddies laughed and nodded. "Totally. She's a really dumb Husky, to be daydreaming like that in class. It could get her in big trouble. I'm surprised it hasn't already." H-hey! I thought angrily, frowning. How dare he call me dumb! Furious, I made myself not to stomp over and yell my head off. Needless to say, it was hard. Instead, I decided the best-and smartest-thing to do was to stop, fiddling with my locker (luckily we were close by to it, so I could hear them) and listen some more. A third one spoke up, a bit timidly, "Well... it isn't nice to talk behind others' backs. Let's just leave her as she is and hope that she won't get in trouble." I blinked, realizing the third one to speak was my friend, Caleb. I smiled softly, my fury gone. He was always willing to stand up for me, even if he WAS shy. The two other guys snorted and chuckled, the small laughter soon turning rather loud. "What is going ON in here?!" The principle, having had to go to the supply closet, snarled at the two- now unlucky - guys. "Uhhmm nothing, sir!" One muttered, eyes wide. Gulping, the canine tried to keep his composure. The principle stared at him with narrowed eyes until after what seemed like minutes, but was really only a few seconds. Finally, he left, black shoes clicking against the polished school floor.

This is also a work in progress.

What Do You Plan To Use This Adoption For:

I plan to use her in... well everything. Probably a lot of roleplays, I’ve been on CS for a while but I am just now starting to get into the whole character/Oekaki thing so at the moment I have...one, maybe two, characters and I would love to start expanding my little family and what’s a family without a Wereyena? Haha sorry had to add that, I’ve just never heard of a Wereyena before and think that the idea of it is simply amazing. So besides using her as a roleplay character I would also most likely make/find her a mate because a life without love is not a life at all (or at least that’s what my mom says when she comes over and sees me on the computer when I could be out “getting those boys” as she puts it...)
[Note-To-Myself: Find a Banzai and Ed, also get more milk so I can finish my cookies XD]

Okay, now we are getting into the serious stuff so I will stop messing around and switch to third person.

►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄►◄

Personality:

Emotional Disposition --
Generally speaking Shenzi is calm and silently contemptuous with the world. She does not understand why she is the one who is being ignored within the family and doesn’t like how her whole pack has out casted her. Even so it takes a lot to get under her skin or at least a lot to get her to snap.

Pessimistic --
It isn’t much of a surprise that Shenzi has become so cynical over the years, seeing how her family treats her and by now she has decided to give up and just expect the worst. “If you don’t get your hopes up, you’ll never be disappointed.”

Spontaneous --
If Shenzi is anything hyperactive would be it. She cannot sit still for longer than five minutes and is constantly getting herself into trouble. Even though most of her grand schemes involve pranking someone else they have definitely helped her improve her mental speed, meaning that if you were in the middle of battle and something went wrong she would be the one you would want on your side.

Stubborn & Defiant --
Shenzi is not the type who likes following the crowd which sometimes means she is placed in the loner category but secretly she loves talking to other people. Even if someone finds solid evidence that she is wrong she will automatically become defensive and arrogant whenever her beliefs or views are questioned which is sometimes translated into arrogance.

Determined --
No matter what the situation, Shenzi will never give up on a goal or dream and when/if she ever does it would completely send her into a confused and emotional state in which she would cross-examine everything that she has held as the truth. Currently if you asked Shenzi what her main goal in life was she would say that it was to have fun and act out against her parents but in reality she wishes earnestly to gain approval and recognition from those around her and strives towards that goal by gaining attention in any way she can.

Distrustful --
Shenzi, although very daring and reckless at times, isn’t one of those pitiful, moping types who run off and tell the world all the things wrong in her life. She much prefers suffering in silence and hates it when people get too snoopy. She keeps the world an arm’s length away and that doesn’t seem to be changing anytime soon. If it weren’t for Ahanu she would be a complete loner.

Promiscuous --
Because of the fact that Shenzi is so distrustful she has become very licentious and never holds relationships for very long. She would say that it is just because the right one for her hasn’t come along or that she can’t stand any of the males around here but in all honesty it is because she is so afraid to let anyone get that close to her.

Insomniac --
Ever since she was young Shenzi has always had difficulty falling asleep and would wake up several times a night for unexplainable reasons. This was never a real issue for her though because she had always loved the solitude that came with the rising of the moon.

Background:

Many years ago war raged through the wasteland of the Gaia Grassland. Hyenas fought with tooth and nail for mates, prey, water, and most of all territory. Infection and fear raced across the land and the rivers ran crimson with the blood of the fallen. In time the God’s grew weary of the quarrels of their people and sent to them four advocates: Aera, fashioned from the winds of the East, Nero crafted from the waters of the West, Verna moulded from the shadows of the South, and Kaiz wrought from the fires of the North.

These four devoted their lives to restoring harmony to the lands but the stubbornness of the mortals destroyed their plans and made them question their beliefs. When even their advocates started threatening each other, the God’s gave up their hope for peaceful coexistence among the hyenas and divided the lands; sending all those calm and steady to the East with Aera, any hyena quick and quiet to the east with Nero, everyone clever and secure to the south with Verna, and all those brave and strong to the north with Kaiz. As borders were finalized harmony settled over the land and the God’s, satisfied, returned to their slumber; entrusting the future of the pack’s to Aera, Nero, Verna, Kaiz and their descendants.

Blaize was one of these descendants, inheriting the name Born of the Flames from his father (just as the offspring of the Verna alphas would be Born of the Shadows and the children of Aera were given the name Born of the Water). Blaize and his sister Aizea grew up well learning to fight, hunt and hold their pack together even when hardships settled in. Just before his father’s death, and ultimately just before Aizea would have been given the title of alpha, she mysteriously disappeared...leaving nothing in her wake except for a raven’s feather (the mark of the Verna). Assuming that their rivals from the South had kidnapped or even worse killed the heir to the Kaiz Pack Blaize, now alpha, headed a battle party into the heart of Verna territory and killed as many hyenas as he could manage before they were driven back home.

Blaize was the only one living who knew the whole truth. Aizea, his perfect and beautiful sister, had fallen in love with Muir, the kind and exotic Verna alpha. They kept their relationship a secret until the day that Aizea found out she was pregnant. Hoping that this newfound love would create an alliance between the Verna and Kaiz she confided in her elderly father and brother asking for advice. Her father, who strongly agreed with this attempt at a peaceful alliance between the two packs, passed the title of alpha onto his daughter. Blaize overcome with jealousy and fury went to his childhood friend, Garnet, for reassurance.

That night a plan was born, a plan to purge the packs of traitorous hyenas such as Aizea and give Blaize an opportunity to regain Kaiz as his own. The said plan was simple: kidnap Aizea and have her killed, frame Verna for her death, and attack Verna as revenge while they were still too disorientated to fight back.

There was only one predicament....One predicament, a misjudgment, and two mistakes. The predicament was that Aizea gave birth the night their whole evil scheme was supposed to be set into motion.
Thrown off by the sudden change, Garnet and Blaize scrambled to make up for it, deciding to kill the newborn pups as well. Overpowering Aizea, who was still weak and fatigued, was easy for the two and once they had knocked Aizea unconscious there was no stopping them. They easily split the tasks at hand; Blaize dragging the limp body of Aizea out of the camp and towards the Verna border (leaving a blood trail for added effect) and Garnet dashing off to throw the pups into the dark depths of the nearby river.

After they had completed their tasks, they raced back to “discover” the terrible news and to declare an attack on the Verna Pack. They burst into the Verna camp a day later, completely catching their rivals off guard but not disturbing them enough to give them an advantage. Muir soon caught on and reorganized his pack, managing to chase the Kaiz party out. After that day Muir devoted his life to avenging his mate (and puppies) murders.

A while back I told you that two mistakes had been made that night. The first was that Blaize, no matter how hard he tried, was unable to complete his task and left the bleeding remains of his sister still breathing near the border between Kaiz, Verna, and Aera and the second was that of Shenzi.

Shenzi was found, whimpering, on the bank of the river; one of the two pups that survived that night. The other was found by a patrol of Verna hyenas further downriver and named Banzai. Aizea managed to crawl away and was found almost two weeks later by the Aera. Because she had no recollection of her name or family she was taken in and given the name Kele.
Blaize and Garnet “out of pure love” took in the poor, orphaned Shenzi and treated her “as if she were their own”...or at least that is what they said. In truth they hated Shenzi because they knew that if she were to somehow figure out exactly who she was, she could easily become alpha of not just Kaiz but also Verna.

To keep the young hyena as far away from power as they could they abused her, both physically and mentally, and made her into nothing less than a slave for themselves and their only child, Averett.

[Just a small note so the story below makes sense: Shenzi does not know about her mother or father, the older members of the Kaiz Pack do know but keep it a secret because Blaize convinced them it was for Shenzi’s safety. Banzai does not know about his parents either and neither does anyone else; everyone just assumed that he was some random orphan from outside the territory because he was found so far away from Kaiz territory.]

A Look Into The Life Of Shenzi:

The sharp wind cut across the wasteland causing the brittle grass to quiver and rattle as it barreled past. Shenzi crouched lower to the ground as she waited; every muscle poised to either fight or flee if something went wrong. Abruptly the silence was pierced through with the crackle of a branch sending the young gazelle and his mother bounding back to the safety of their herd. Letting out a snarl she wiped around without a moment’s hesitation; launching her body into the air and landing in front of the hyena that had interrupted her hunt.



“Hey! What are you doing here?” Shenzi relaxed, letting the hair on the back of her neck fall as she recognized Ahanu. “I was hunting before some numbskull chased away the prey,” she snapped at him, giving her friend a playful nudge as she padded past. Walking off, she followed the two gazelles and sat on the outskirts of their herd trying to determine if any were worth the risk. Ahanu followed closely behind and then sat at her side, “What are you doing so close to the border? Weren’t you banned from going past the Mopane tree?” Shenzi glanced over her shoulder studying the shadowy outline of the tree that stood on the skyline. “When have you seen me take orders from Blaize?” she shot back returning her gaze to the herd. “Well then, if you plan to disobey you might as well do it the correct way.” As he spoke the playful young male jumped to his feet, shoving Shenzi over in the process, and dashed off across the open ground…running straight towards the gazelles. Grinning she took off after her friend, yipping and yowling as she went, causing the herd to stampede away in fear. They didn’t stop running until the two were both out of breath and even then they trotted on for a while to give there heartbeats a chance to slow. “You were right,” Shenzi gasped out, “Life would stink if I didn’t have you to cheer me up.” “You know it,” he answered with a smirk.



A flash of black, a yelp, and a snarl later and Ahanu was pinned to the ground. Jumping forward Shenzi tried to help her friend up but was intervened by another hyena. With a raspy growl humming in her throat she snapped her jaws once towards the hyena that stood in front of her. “What do you want…” pausing for a second she watched as the wind pulled gently at a cluster of feathers clipped to the hyenas ear, “Verna! She spat out the last word as an insult, glaring up at the male while she kept a careful eye on her friend. “I could ask you the same thing…Kaiz,” the male’s voice rumbled up from his chest as he glowered down at her. “What are you-“ Shenzi was cut off by Ahanu wheezing out an interruption, “It…was…a mistake. We…didn’t….mean to cross the…border.” His apology was cut off by the female hyena who sat on top of him pressing her claws into his neck. “We didn’t ask you, runt!” Sick of the game that these two were trying to play she leaped forward, slipping around the first hyena with ease, and head butting the second one in the shoulder. Ahanu had just enough time to scramble to his feet before the two Verna’s had recovered. Snarling the female of the duo lunged forward almost managing to fasten her teeth into Shenzi’s foreleg but right before her jaw smashed close giggles erupted from the grass around the small group. Hoarse laughter bubbled up as hyenas flooded the small dusty clearing sending her fur prickling with unease.

One by one the hyenas came; some Verna and some Kaiz, all just as irate as the last and all looking for blood. Finally two males stepped forward, the first was Blaize who held a steady look of disgust on his face and the other was the one that everyone called Muir, Born of the Shadows, and alpha of the Verna Pack. A tense silence settled over the crowd as everyone waited for their alphas to make the first move. “Why are Kaiz on our land?” The raspy snarl came from Muir; each word making an old scar on his cheek ripple. “You attacked us first,” without meaning to Shenzi had spoken up, interrupting Blaize and ignoring the cold stares she got for acting so rude, “We were no threat to you!” Muir retorted easily, his voice calm and commanding, “Whether you are a threat or not is of no importance. What is imperative is that the Kaiz owe Verna four lives and until they repay that debt we will not compromise. In this age there is no use for apologies and no wish for reconciliation; we will regain those lives,” the large hyena threw a menacing look towards the rival pack and then turned his meaningful gaze back to his own pack, “but not in this way. These pups have not wronged us and I will not allow innocent lives to be repaid with the blood of more innocents. It is the guilty that must pay and the guilty who shall.” Spitting out the last sentence Muir let his glare linger for a moment longer on Blaize before backing away; disappearing into the shadows of night.



Slowly the rest of the Verna followed their leader, some retreating in silence and others muttering insults. Lifting her head higher and straightening her shoulders, Shenzi watched them leave; not hesitating to meet their looks. Smugly Shenzi started to turn, starting to follow the departing members of her own pack when something caught her eye….or rather someone. It was a male, about her age, and maybe a couple centimeters taller than she. He was watching her with clever grey eyes but what first caught her attention was his appearance. Her eyes danced over his pelt which was mostly made up of a dark burgundy color with a few dark grey markings on his flanks that created a simple yet elegant design and then her eyes fell to his feet….his front left paw! It was yellow! Reexamining his body she searched for any other flash of bright color but there was nothing and before she could wonder about anything else Ahanu appeared at her side. “We better go,” he whispered softly to her, “I don’t think it would be wise to stick around.” Smiling and nodding at her friend, Shenzi glanced back up but by the time she did the young hyena had already disappeared; becoming just another shadowy memory that flickered in and out of view under the moon of her mind...

Just A Quick Explanation of the Story:

Okay so because a lot of you can't read my mind (at least I hope you can't )and get where I'm coming from I will let you all into the great, but kind of dissorganized, expanse of my thought processing device inside my brain. When I first thought of Shenzi's background I struggled to come up with something that would pull her past and her relationships together along with showing off her personality so in the end I ended up writing a short little story where Shenzi snuck away from her evil uncle and was just trying to get some free time. Ahanu is kind of my default guy, I don't really need him but he is an amazing character and I think his personality works well with Shenzi's so I might make him an official character of mine. One last thing, and I'm sorry if you did get this/I do not mean to insult you by doing this, but at the end the mysterious wolf is Shenzi's brother and the reason she was so surprised to see him with a yellow paw is because each pack has their own sepcial characteristics that help tell them apart (so like there are dominant markings that get passed through the whole pack).
- Kaiz have bright orange, yellow, and/or red markings normally found in sharp and symmetrical arangements.
- Verna have soft, dark markings.
- Nero hyenas have soft blue (ranging from sky blue to a dark purple-blue) markings usually patterned in swirls or waves.
- And finally most Aera have light purple, white, or silver markings.

Other:

Thank you very much to 3B for putting Shenzi/Illia up for adoption she is just gorgeous. I would also like to thank the creator of Adoption Area, it is a wonderful place and I know that it must be hard some days to keep it all going. It would be amazing if I did win Shenzi/Illia. Is ‘win’ the appropriate word? I guess it doesn’t matter because it would sure feel like winning if by some miracle I did get her. I would also like to make a quick apology about the length of this form, I added quite a few extra things to it and I'm not really sure how you will take it. When I started writing the wheels just kept turning so it was hard for me to stop! Thank you again and I hope that everyone has a great day and good luck.

Just so everyone knows I DO NOT own any of the pictures in this post nor do I take credit for the song that is linked above. All credit goes to the appropriate owners.

Last but not least, Ed would like to say goodbye...

Good to see Illia getting some attention. And I'm amused at the spelling error on my name~~

Gah! Oops Apparently my sleep deprived memory isn't that great. I'll fix it in a second along with correcting some of the inconsistenciesthat I found when rereading this. Yikes I should have proofread it a second time before submiting.
