"Sing for the stars,
All of them shining out from your heart.
There's no denying right from the start, I'd be the one to hold you."

Use: When I first saw this sweetheart in the kennels, I knew I had to try for her. I absolutely LOVE space and all things related to stars and constellations, so her design really spoke to me. It seems simple at first glance, but upon further inspection quickly shows that this girl is not all that she appears. Her design is complex even though it only contains variations on a few choice colors, and her simple beauty is breath-taking. Her gentleness and grace are apparent even from just her single ref. As for what I would do with her if I won her, I would give her a spot on my character website. I would color and make art of her, and then I would also possibly order art of her if I ever have enough cash/C$ to order some. Lastly, I would write stories about her and my other characters. She's absolutely beautiful!

Alignment Test wrote:A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished.
Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion.
Lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.
Personality:Koto is the goddess of stars/celestial bodies/space. From the sun to the stars to their paths across space, she can control most anything relating to this beautiful aspect of our gorgeous universe. She does have followers who adore her and whom she blesses with visions and beautiful dreams, but she also has individuals who are against her. These she does not dislike nor feel malice towards, but rather wishes all the best towards. If their belief in her would only bring them down, she wishes them the best at following whatever it is their own hearts follow. She has never and will never require people to follow her, as she understands she is just one of many of a pantheon of heavenly hosts which individuals may voluntarily choose to follow.
She would never dream of betraying a loved one or follower, but especially in situations to advance only herself to greatness. She has been blest to receive a vast variety of gifts in this life and many others, so she frowns upon those who take advantage of others just to pursue their own goals. She has never condoned those who step on others to get ahead in life, and would never take such a path herself.
Fine being alone or surrounded by crowds, Koto is an ambivert, meaning she is a mix between the normal extroverted personality type and introverted personality type. She can gain energy from being by herself and praying and meditating, or she can gain energy from talking with others and spending time with those she cares most about.
A thoughtful individual who always thinks before she speaks and never rushes into situations without weighing out the consequences first, she has a level head on her shoulders. After centuries of living, she has learned that patience is a virtue that not enough individuals practice. She hopes that by her example, others can learn that patience is key to living a fulfilling life full of happiness, instead of one ripe with the strife of being rushed about by impatient individuals and demanding situations. What will be will be, and she won't bother to be obstinate when the flow of fate guides her onward.
Not one to stress easily, Koto doesn't focus on past mistakes or regrets. She learned early on in her cycle of regeneration that what happens in a past life stays in a past life. It does affect the current cycle she is in, and will continue to affect her as she ages ever so slowly, but she still understands that what happened in the past cannot be changed, even with her powers of manipulation of the heavenly bodies and realm. She cares not for first impressions nor does she become angered over mistakes she has made in the past in other personal relationships. She cannot turn back time, so what is the use in worrying about what she said a few hours or eons ago?
Fairly thick-skinned, it takes a lot to offend this girl. She is calm by nature, and not one to be prone to bursts of moodiness or angry rage-filled screaming matches. She's not one to brag or boast, but if she were, it would be about how she has learned to withstand a myriad of negative comments and mean-spirited gestures from others. She does not get irritated easily, and simply prefers a cool, calm, and collected persona over an easily-irritated and angry one. That being said, if you do happen to really tick her off, she will not hesitate to get her revenge upon you. First time she will show forgiveness, and if you apologize and promise to never do it again, she will obviously spare you. But if you continue to do the same thing over and over and over, well, her patience does have its limits, even if they do far exceed those of the average individual.
Koto is more of a big-picture individual. While she can focus on smaller details if need be, on the whole she tends to look at that large-scale instead of the smaller one. She is also rather emotional by nature, even if she doesn't show her emotions nor wear her heart on her sleeve. If any of her friends or family members come to her and need advice, she is always there to lend a listening ear or offer a shoulder to cry on. She always is willing to give emotional support in any time of need, and is more likely to offer this type of support than to suggest ways to deal with the problem. In her experience, Koto has realized that most individuals just need a time and place to vent. They don't always want suggestions on how to fix their issues, and if they do, they will usually ask directly for such help, in which case Koto will gladly offer up some well-thought-out advice.
A philosopher and visionary who always tries to figure out the deeper meaning behind things, she often will dissect the phrasing of how certain individuals talk, or what certain song lyrics mean or the true message behind certain films. She has very sharp insight, and always seems to make the best choices in life. She loves to have a deeper understanding of the universe around her, and strives to find the true meaning of life behind every glimpse of art she has a chance to obtain. She loves to explore every facet that life offers to her, and can often be found discussing things with her more intelligent followers, friends, and family.
For Koto, her word is her bond. She always means what she says. She often weighs her words carefully due to this reason, and is well-respected for her ability to speak well, both in the private and public sectors. If Koto promises to do something, it will always get done, no matter what problems may arise in getting said task done nor how long it will take to accomplish. Her reputation means everything to her, so Koto would never dare back down from something she promised to do. She considers reliability to be a virtue she wishes to always have, and hopes that by being such a way that she inspires others to follow through on their promises, as well.
A mix between
INFP and
ENFP traits and 100% Assertiveness as a separate trait in and of itself, Koto has an excellent sense of self and rarely feels insecure. Observant and idealistic, she is open-minded and flexible in response to those around her, always believing in the good of those in the world instead of the negative side of things. She always seeks value and harmony, and is passionate and creative by nature - definitely more a visionary than a realist. Dedicated and hard-working, Koto always gets done what she promises will get done. She has her curious streaks, though once her curiosity is quenched she can rest easy. She knows how to relax and is great at kicking back after a long day of work. Though she isn't always known for her chattiness, when she does talk it is with weighted words; because of this, she is often thought of as an excellent public speaker and a great communicator overall. She is friendly to everyone, and can make a wide circle of individuals whom she cares deeply for with ease. She has been told she is too idealistic and too altruistic at times, never wanting to think of the negative side of individuals except in the rare cases where she's debating about certain topics. She hates looking at data and will rarely be so focused as to be detail-oriented, and while this is good in some respects, it is not good in all of them, as with her excellent observations one would think that she would be more focused on the details instead of the bigger picture in life. Koto can be difficult to get to know, as well, thanks to her more calm demeanor and her well-practiced face that doesn't show much emotion. Overall, Koto is trying to live her best life every day, and continues to endeavor to learn as much as she can doing all that she can in the limited time she has left during her time on this planet.
Theme Songs:Sing for the Stars - Dylan Gardner
Starlight (Acoustic Version) - Starset
History:- Reborn in the Year of Our Lord 1634, Koto quickly learned that she was stuck in her current form after making a mistake in a past life. Try as she might, she couldn't remember what that mistake had been, but she figured that after a few sleepless nights of not getting any real rest that she'd let it go and not worry about it.
- After experimenting for a few decades, Koto found that she still had access to the heavenly realms and the heavenly bodies she used to be able to control, and could easily move the stars at her command or the planets in the solar system to align as she pleased. What she could do with this power was unknown to her, as she was stuck in this fleshly form and unable to ascend to the astral plane as she used to be able to do with ease.
- Through the years she found companionship with others that were like-minded to her, and ended up being adopted several times through the eons by several different families. Each one held a special place in her heart, and every time one of them passed onward Koto would place a new star in the sky in the exact shade and color that that individual's aura had been. Blue for Betsy, red for Astra, maroon for Stephan, white for Darla, magenta for Dorothy, green for Draco, garnet for Gemma, fire for Freddie, brown for Luther, yellow for Bruce, gold for Lex, mauve for Martha, chartreuse for Gilda, etc.
- Her eyes being different colors would often give her great grief from others in the beginning years about her being 'cursed' or a 'witch,' but she was able to skirt the horrors of the times by the grace and helpfulness of close friends and family. Surviving these times, now in modern-day times, she is thought of as beautiful for her different-colored eyes and is often approached by individuals she doesn't know who compliment her appearance, specifically her beautiful eyes - both hazel, but both so different in color and shade that they always looked as if they were completely different. Her left was
a more blue-grey hazel color and her right was
a more brown-gold hazel color, though both changed depending upon her mood and the lighting she was in.

"I don't know what to say,
But I'm going to want you 'till the stars evaporate.
We're only here for just a moment in the light;
One day it shines for us the next we're in the night.
So say the word and I'll be running back to find you!
A thousand armies won't stop me I'll break through!
I'll soar the endless skies for only one sight:
Of your starlight."
~ Starset
I love them dearly. Thanks a ton.
