[[Name You'd Choose for It <3;;]]Elsu
[[Breed <3;;]]Paint Horse || Lakota Indian || 'Smoke' || Experimental
[[Reason You Want It <3;;]]When I saw Elsu I thought he was simply amazing. He's so simple, but so brilliant at the same time. I immediately wanted to give him a home, the best home possible for me to provide. And, lucky for me, I had not only the perfect idea for his story, but also the perfect character for him to interact with. I'm simply in love with this amazing character and I feel a very strong connection with him. Other than what has already been stated, I cannot say much more, but I hope that you can see that I truly love and care for Elsu.
[[History;; Background;; Other <3;;]]I had no choice in this matter.. It was my duty. We were running out of warriors.. they were just disappearing so quickly.. What else was I to do? It was my duty.. [Full story; See 'Our Stories.']
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.Yup, definitely. :]]
||What will you do for it?||Elsu. Oh dear, dearrrr, Elsu.. He would -definitely- be loved.. more than I can possibly express, especially just using words. I've come up with an online novel that I'm going to write and he will be one of the main characters, so he will be written of quite frequently. As much as I love him, I'm not going to lie; I'm not very great at equine or human, especially male, digital art, so I probably won't draw him as frequently as he deserves. However, once I improve my equine and human anatomy to the point that I can draw them to satisfaction, then I will draw him very often. I'm not sure how long this will take, though. If possible, I may order art of him from other artists, but I'm unsure of this.
||Art||Coming soon! <3
||Other||-My normal form has been shortened slightly as I'm having trouble finding the time to fill all of it out [and also to spare some of the sanity the judges still have left], but I've also had to change and add sections to my form because of the story. Forgive me for this, please.
-Some of these names are simply Native American, not necessarily Lakota names. Please forgive this as I was having trouble finding Lakota names.
-Also, yes, some of the names are going to be translated into their English meaning [meaning that some characters will be called 'Red Creek' or 'Little Bird' instead of using the Lakota or Native American words for such things], others are not.
-Some of these things may not be very historically accurate, but please don't count this against me. I'm trying to make it as historically accurate as possible, but I'm having trouble finding a good source of information on the Lakota, so I will be using my knowledge of other Native American tribes. Plus I do need some creative license for this one!
-I'm typing this on Jake's phone because my computer crashed, so please forgive any typos and grammar mistakes.

"Yes, July 23 really is the day that I was born."[[Voice <3;;]]Powerful and dominate. He's the one in charge and his voice makes this very clear. Although, Elsu does have moments were his voice reflects the him behind the curtain. During these moments, his voice is still very powerful, but there's also a very fun and lightheartedness to it.
That has more to do with the way his voice can reflect his personality, though, so here's what it sounds like. His voice is rather deep for his age and very smooth.

[[.Appearances.]][[Original Form <3;;]]--Overall <3;;He can change into this form at will. Elsu's original form is a paint horse. It's the form he was born with.
--Fur/Pelt <3;;See the image above his form. || I'm too lazy to describe something when there's no need.
--Eyes <3;;Very dark blue || Almost black
--Accessories/Other <3;;White feather necklace || Feather and beaded bracelet || Sometimes war paint or other things
[[Human Form <3;;]]--Overall <3;;He can change into this form at will. The way he looks in his human form is not very well liked among the other male members of his tribe, but most of the females in his tribe find it charming; Elsu's human form looks like that of a white man. His skin, his hair, his features.. they all look like they belong to a white man.
--Skin <3;;His skin is tan, but not too tan, and it's not leathery like most Native Americans' skin. It's more of a slight tan, one that's noticeable, but not too noticeable.
--Hair <3;;Dark brown || Blonde Bangs
--Eyes <3;;Dark brown
--Accessories/Other <3;;White feather necklace || Other feather necklaces || Feather and beaded bracelet || Beaded necklaces and bracelets || Sometimes war paint or other things
[['Smoke' Form <3;;]]--Overall <3;;This form can only be summoned by the Shaman. In this form, he appears to be made of smoke, and, in a way, he is. However, he is still concrete and could still, say, bite someone and it would feel like a bite. This smoke form looks like a war demon of the ancient legends and myths.
--Eyes <3;;Piercing yellow
--Accessories/Other <3;;White feather necklace || Feather and beaded bracelet || Tribal-like tattoos || Chains around neck
[[Experimental Form <3;;]]--Overall <3;;Elsu changes into this form under specific circumstances and he rarely has a choice in the matter, but he can sometimes control it. This form may also be summoned by the Shaman. As suggested by the name, this form has undergone several changes and it's still uncertain whether or not it will change even more. Elsu believes that this is the final appearance of this form and any changes will be very slight; he says that he can 'feel' it. Currently, this form is a very large, very feathery and very majestic dragon. It looks like an ancient hero of the ancient legends and myths. At least, it looks like the form this ancient hero is rumored to appear on Earth, occasionally of course, using.

*Caring
*Charming
*Conscientious
*Easily excited
*Flirtatious
*Happy
*Hyper
*Loyal

.In Depth.--YupYup <3;;WIP || He's very complex, so this is still a WIP
Caring. Most of the Lakota and their animals are very caring; Elsu is no exception to this. He cares about everyone, even the white men, unless given a reason to dislike them. Even when something, or someone, gives him a reason to dislike him, Elsu dislikes the individual and not the entire species or thing.
Charming. Even though he does not try in any way to charm others, he always does. Elsu always seems to be able to attract and delight people. He doesn't like it much, though, because it means he's often put in the spot light.
Conscientious. Like a lot of the other Lakotas, he is very devoted to his duty. He often puts his duty to his tribe before other things. And, Elsu often performs his duty as carefully as possible. This strong sense of dedication to his duty comes from his desire to keep everyone, especially close friends and loved ones, safe and sound at home.
Easily excited. This trait isn't one often had by most in his tribe, especially the males, but it's one he's always carried. Even as a colt he was easily excited; Little Cloud would come near him with an apple in hand and he'd act as though it was the best thing in the world. However, this trait has becomes even more noticeable when Elsu's in his human form.
Flirtatious. Unlike most of the other traits, this one didn't really come around until the Shaman provided him with a human form. Although he doesn't mean anything by it, he's very flirtatious. He likes joking and messing around with girls in a very playful way. Elsu thinks it's a fun way to pass time and he enjoys it; there's nothing more to it than that.
Happy. Elsu just sees all the good things in life. He lives each day the best he can and it makes him happy. Honestly, he only aims to have fun and fulfill his duty to his tribe. Some think that he's crazy for it, others think he's a genius for it. Either way, Elsu is perfectly content living this way.
Hyper. He's always been hyper, but when the Shaman provided him with a human form he became much more hyper. He often gets very hyper when excited and since he gets excited easily, he's hyper quite frequently.
Loyal. In case you haven't figured it out, he's a very loyal being. He's loyal to his duty as a warrior and his duty to his tribe, but he's also very loyal to individuals. You must earn his loyalty, but once earned it will remain there for as long as he lives.
Moralist. Unlike a lot of the humans, especially the white men, Elsu follows a very strict code of morals. However, these morals do not cover everything. And not only does he follow a code of morals, but he urges others to do so as well. He doesn't demand it, but he wishes that others would.
Optimistic. Because he sees the good in life, Elsu is a very optimistic person. He believes that there is hope in all situations and that the Gods will relieve all suffering, whether it be through death or victory. However, he does not always share his optimism with others, especially in situations they call hopeless. Elsu is always the one trying to lift everyone's spirits.
Protective. Like many others in his tribe, he is very protective. He goes to great lengths to make sure his tribe, as well as friends and loved ones, are safe. Elsu defends them well and he does so with great pride. He would rather give his own life than allow anything happen to them.
Understanding. This trait is one few others around here have, especially for the white men. However, Elsu possesses this trait. He does not dislike the white men even though they are taking land and lives. Have the warriors of his tribe not also taken land and lives? Of course they have; it is their duty to! Just as it is the white men's duty to take land and lives. Elsu, unlike so many others, sees both sides to a story and he does not call one right and one wrong; he merely tries to see and understand the situations of both sides.

[[Breed <3;;]]Kiger Mustang x Paint Horse mix || Lakota Indian || 'Smoke' || Experimental
[[Reason You Want It <3;;]]I saw her and I immediately went into my 'SQUEEE!' mode. The design is adorable and I instantly thought of Mali as a horse owned by a Native American. I can easily see myself writing and [hopefully] drawing this brilliantly designed horse because I feel a connection to her [kinds stupid sounding and cliched, but true].
I really don't know what else I can say about why I want Chimalis. She's brilliant and I'd love to be able to call her my own. Please don't think that I don't love her or that I love her any less than someone else because of my lack of a lengthy explanation for this section.
[[History;; Background;; Other <3;;]]Why did I do this? Because he needed me.. whether he wanted to admit it or not.. [Full story; See 'Our Stories.']
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.Yup, definitely. :]]
||What will you do for it?||Like Elsu, Chimalis will be extremely loved if I win her. Again, I might not draw her very often in her original form because I cannot draw equines very well. However, I might get art of her if I can afford it. Anddd, since she will be another main character in the online novel I'm working on, Mali will be written about very often.

*Caring
*Cautious
*Fiery
*Hotheaded
*Impetuous
*Loyal
*Observant
*Opinionated
*Sarcastic
.In Depth.--YupYup <3;;Caring. Chimalis was raised in a very caring environment and therefore, like most Lakota and their animals, she is very caring. However, unlike Elsu, she does not care for everyone. The white men, to her, are disgusting and rude and she does not care much for them.
Cautious. She's very careful about doing something away from the village. The white men forced her to take up this habit to keep her rider from being endangered. However, after she got the ability to change forms, this trait became even more important to her.
Fiery. Her intense eyes reflect this part of her. Mali feels things very intensely and she often does not care to hide these feelings. Normally, she feels anger most intensely.
Hotheaded. Even though she's caring, Chimalis is quite hotheaded. She is easily annoyed and angered, especially by those that she dislikes. When angered or annoyed she often becomes very fiery.
Impetuous. Chimalis, even though she's cautious, often acts on pure impulse. She rarely considers the consequences to her actions, especially when she's angered.
Loyal. Although it's difficult to earn her loyalty and trust, there are a few individuals that have. She's also very loyal to her rider, Dyami, and to her tribe as well.
Observant. This trait kind of goes along with being cautious; she pays attention to the little things that others seem to miss. It was always there, but her sense of observation has increased a great deal by being given the ability to change forms.
Opinionated. Mali is always ready to express her opinion, but she's not so ready to change them. If her opinion is one she holds strongly, then she will hold to it very stubbornly. Very few others can change her opinions.
Sarcastic. She's not very patient and she's hotheaded. When she's annoyed or angered she often lashes out at the one that annoyed, or angered, her using sarcasm. And, other times, Chimalis uses sarcasm for comedic purposes.
