Why I Want Her:
Viscets were never really a species I noticed; I was basically oblivious to them. After I got back from a pretty long hiatus, I happened to come across the nursery thread for viscets and it drew my attention to them for the first time. I had my heart set on trying for this girl as soon as I saw her. She is just simply gorgeous, and I was drawn to her from the start. Everything about her design works together perfectly, and I instantly knew the character she would be. Her eyes make her look so bright and curious, while her mane reminds me of a fiery, sassy explorer.

Name: Nita (NEE tuh)
Gender: female
Personality:
☆ adventurous ⋆ curious ⋆ restless ⋆ outdoorsy ⋆ tomboy ⋆ impulsive ⋆ careless ⋆ fearless ☆

Nita is constantly seeking out new places and experiences. There is hardly a moment's time when she's not on some sort of adventure. In fact, Nita has an insatiable desire to learn and discover everything she possibly can. Her naturally curious nature and strong desire to explore make it practically impossible for her to sit still. She's absolutely restless, in more way than one. Her mind is as restless as her body, and when Nita isn't actually out doing things, she is thinking about all the things that she wants to do.

Most of her adventures take place outside, as there is no place better than the outdoors. In fact, she is very much an outdoorsy sort of person. Nita adores camping, hiking and practically every activity that has to do with being in nature. She can even manage to sit still long enough to go bird watching. Though she can't bring herself to go fishing because she hates to disturb creatures without a reason and doesn't like the idea of hurting the fish. All of her time spent outside has made her immune to getting dirty. Other girls might turn up their nose at mud, but Nita is very much a tomboy.

A lot of her exploring is done on impulse, as she has very little impulse control. If she gets the urge to go take a look in a dark cave, she does it without so much as a second thought. That same lack of self-control is why she gorges on cotton candy and other sweets whenever she gets the chance. Nita has a tendency to be careless. She isn't careless of others' feelings or health, but she can be very careless of her own health. Often times, Nita will charge head first into an adventure, regardless of a risk it may pose to her well-being. Her impulsiveness is partially to blame for the disregard she shows her safety, and her fearless nature is also to blame. While Nita has her fair share of fears, she never balks at an opportunity to face those fears head on.

☆ independent ⋆ solitary ⋆ alert ⋆ adaptable ⋆ resourceful ⋆ capable ⋆ determined ⋆ unpolished ☆

She has a fierce independent streak, preferring to do things for herself instead of letting others help. Nita perceives dependence on someone else as both a liability and a threat. After all, depending on another person would require her to give up her most precious possession: her freedom. The best way to ensure things get done the right way is for her to do them herself, anyways. In fact, she prefers being alone to being with others. It's not necessarily that Nita doesn't like others, but she finds that it's hard to find time for anything other than adventure.

Spending so much time alone in nature, Nita has to be very alert. She's always got to be watchful and prepared to change her plan because nature can throw curve balls without even a moment's notice. Being able to adapt to changing weather and other unexpected events while exploring is a big necessity for her, so she's learned to adjust plans quickly. She also has to be resourceful, using everything and anything in her surroundings in order to accomplish whatever goal she's set out to accomplish. It might mean picking berries to eat on a camping trip or it might mean using branches and mud to make a temporary shelter.

Nita's resourcefulness and adaptability have taught her to do many incredible things. Whatever situation she finds herself in, Nita is very capable of finding something in nature to help her. Few others have the sort of determination and perseverance that she has. Once Nita sets her mind to do something, she is willing to go as far as it takes to finish whatever it is. Most of her time is spent by herself outdoors, so she doesn't have much time to learn social etiquette. Others can find her to be a bit rough around the edges, often referring to her as unpolished and rugged.

☆ intelligent ⋆ zealous ⋆ energetic ⋆ short-sighted ⋆ messy ⋆ difficult ☆

Her mind is bright and always eager to learn more. She attacks learning and reading with the same zealous attitude that she approaches everything else. Nita has boundless enthusiasm and energy directed towards the world, which is clearly shown in her enthusiastic pursuit of adventure. However, she can be quite short-sighted, often setting a goal and focusing solely on that goal. Once she decides to do something, she lives and breaths to meet her goal until she accomplishes it and moves on to another.

Being unrefined as she is, Nita finds no real need to be organized. She lives in a sort of chaotic mess, but she knows where everything important is, so that's all that matters to her. There is absolutely nothing that anyone can say or do to make her less messy. Nita's one-track mind, messiness and over-excitable tendencies can make her difficult at times. She is stubborn and set in her ways, and no one can change her opinions. It can definitely be frustrating for other people to deal with.

☆ happy ⋆ optimistic ⋆ talkative ⋆ friendly ⋆ caring ⋆ loyal ⋆ forgiving ☆

Nita is practically always a happy, bouncing girl and she's always laughing. She has a romantic sort of optimism and it's relentless and unfading no matter what she experiences. While she spends most of her time alone, and even prefers it, she isn't unfriendly. In fact, she is very open and sweet. Her happy, friendly nature make her extremely talkative. Nita talks non-stop, and she even talks to herself when she's alone in nature.

She cares about every living thing and creature, so she tries hard not to hurt anyone. Nita doesn't have many friends due to her particular lifestyle, but the few friends that she does have mean the world to her. She is blindly faithful in and loyal to her friends, always showing support and love no matter the circumstances. It takes a lot to break her loyalties, but not very much to earn them back. Nita is a forgiving individual and will accept any heartfelt apology and move on without letting the past effect her feelings towards someone.

☆ fiery ⋆ emotional ⋆ sympathetic / empathetic ⋆ trusting ⋆ naive ⋆ sentimental ☆

While she is a sweet, good-natured girl, Nita isn't without fire. She is very cheeky and won't hesitate to snap at someone that hasn't been completely kind with her or those she cares about. Most of her sass is harmless, but occasionally she will say something a bit more mean than she intended (often to someone being rude). Nita is definitely driven mostly by her emotions and she makes absolutely no attempts to hide any feelings she has. In reality, she should learn to control her emotions better than she does.

She is easily able to put herself in others' shoes, whether she has been in their situation or not. Listening to other people and trying to help them is something that she very much enjoys, and being both sympathetic and empathetic makes giving advice easier for her than for some. Nita tends to trust people readily, and believes that everyone is inherently good and honest. Even when given a reason not to trust someone, she may still trust them. In fact, Nita can be much too naive for her own good. Because she believes so strongly that there is good in everyone, she tends to have a skewed sense of reality and the world. Nita is also sentimental. She loves to collect things, and will rarely be willing to part with anything she has possessed. She's a bit of a hoarder, really.
Quirks:

>> collects buttons <<
>> obsessed with maps, collects and makes them <<
>> presses flowers <<
>> doesn't like roses, loves daises <<
>> adores trees, likes sleeping in them <<
>> bird watcher, loves birds <<
>> loves fairs, especially the ferris wheel <<
>> hates rainy weather <<
>> exclusively reads adventure books <<
>> enjoys baking <<
>> sleeps with a pillow of sewn leaves <<

The Bear:
Nita found Kota on one of her adventures. She found the large bear, mostly buried, next to a tree. The roots of the tree had grown through his neck, all but taking the poor thing's head off. Nita took a liking to the stuffed bear for some reason, despite the fact that it was so dirty and torn. She took it home, sewed up the neck and gave it some new eyes (luckily she has a vast collection of buttons). She even attempted to get it clean, and managed to get it at least somewhat clean. After cleaning it, she discovered that it was probably all solid white at some point, but it was now a sort of dingy brown all over. Nita was determined, though, so she dyed the bear with tea and beats (making it the colors it is now). It still had a rather horrendous scar across it's neck from her bad sewing skills, so she went out and bought a giant pink ribbon to tie around his neck. She named the bear Kota because she had heard somewhere that it meant happiness and good fortune in Japanese. Whether it was true or not, Nita liked the way it sounded anyways. Kota is a reminder to her that hope is never lost; he was rotting away in the ground before Nita found him, and now he is as healthy as a teddy bear can be.

[Strudel]

As much as I wanted this beeb, I was going to let it go but... there doesn't seem to be as much interest as I thought so I'm going for it anyway P:

Username: Strudel
Name: Basilisk "Basil"
Gender: Male
Personality:
Basil is a very quiet and intelligent soul, often seen in peaceful contemplation. He is a curious fellow, and when he does speak it is usually only to ask/answer a question or say something rather profound. He can be a bit calculating, so he tends to watch his surroundings before making a move. On the other side of the coin, however, when he is fixated on something he can also be rather impulsive. It's as if he has two sides to his personality sometimes, when he is more himself and when he is rash and acts out. Usually the latter ends up one of two ways; he gets what he wants or he gets in heaps of trouble. He almost always regrets his split-second choice either way. He's been known to occasionally offend someone with blunt, thoughtless words and he has been known to take a thing or two that wasn't his. Again, he tends to regret these actions even when they yield positive results. He doesn't make friends easily, and he attributes this to him tending to be quiet most of the time, and blunt when he isn't. Not having friends used to upset him quiet a lot, but now that he has Boris (his stuffed bear) by his side it doesn't hurt him nearly as much or as often. "Obtaining" Boris is one of the few things he doesn't regret doing when being rash.

[237]

Story:

Basil loves lights and sounds. It gives him something to focus on while he's making decisions or thinking on something. So, of course when he could hear people screaming in delight and see flashing lights in the distance he had to check it out. The first thing he saw, was a large moving ring with lights across it, dancing as the machinery moved. He didn't know what it was, but he sat mesmerized for quite some time before moving closer.

He could smell food, and people. Lots of people 'But what could it hurt?' he thought 'Humans aren't really that dangerous.'
He had dealt with humans before, a time or two, one had cared for him for a while when he was really small, before they had released him once more. That human had been a good man, and was trying to release him so that he could fend for himself. The man hadn't known that he would never grow any bigger, that he was too small to be on his own really in this unforgiving world. Thankfully, he was smart enough, even if he wasn't big enough. He didn't remember his parents, not that he cared to, obviously they had never done anything for him anyhow. They either abandoned him or they were dead, he chose not to dwell on it. Except... it was a little hard as he watched the families mill past, or wait in line for... something in front of those machine.

No one seemed to notice him.
He slipped through the crowd, most of the humans were too preoccupied to even see him. A few felt him as he brushed by, but they didn't really look at him. They must have thought his was a cat. Once child noticed him, and threw a bit of food to him, but he ignored it and continued on, knowing human children were the hardest to get away from. He didn't stop for very long in once place until he saw a most-intriguing thing. There were humans, two of them, younger ones. They were in front of a wooden bar, and the male was throwing green balls at bottles. Basil tilted his head, confused, as he watched them. He heard the male complain about something, and then hand over some paper to the man behind the bar. The man handed the young male more of the green balls as the female clung to this young male's arm. Honestly Basil wasn't concerned about the humans as much as the green balls. He wanted to catch one, but he didn't dare chase one into there and catch that much attention.

The male and the female both seemed to celebrate after a moment, and the man behind the counted picked up a large creature from behind the bottles.

A bear. A large, pink bear.
Basil's eyes lit up as he watched the young woman cling to the giant teddy. Something about the teddy called to him, and he followed them for the next hour. Neither seemed to notice.

It wasn't until they were outside of the large crowds that the female dropped the bear onto the grass just outside of the fair. In that split second, Basil made a decision. He mad-dashed toward the bear, grabbing it's enormous foot with his teeth and dragging it backward. As large as it was, it wasn't heavy thankfully. Still, it was an awkward kind of weight, so before he even had it ten feet back his impulsiveness was fading and the fear kicked in. It was too late now though, he continued to drag the bear as the two teens watched in shock. Neither of them made a move to take the bear from him, they just simply watched the small viscet drag off the giant teddy bear by the foot, their eyes wide in astonishment.

It wasn't until Basil was out of sight that either of them said anything "What in the... heck just happened?" the male looked to the girl clinging beside him.

"Was that a viscet? Like a baby one?" the male asked, and the female nodded for a moment before busting out laughing.
"I think it can keep it! It was too cute. I wish I had gotten a picture!"

While the humans went home and shared this story with others, Basil brought the bear back to his den, cleaning it the best he could before setting it down on his bed of leaves.

"I think I'll name you Boris." he said after a few quiet moments "You look like a Boris."

Basil frowned after a moment "But where will I sleep?" he questioned before growing quiet again. He tapped the ground with his paw before a look crossed his face. He had an idea. He gently pushed the bear's large paw off of it's belly before settling in to sleep on it's legs. It was comfortable. He smiled 'Yes, I think this will work just fine.' he thought before looking up at the bear's smiling face.
"Goodnight, Boris."

About Basil's real name;
When Basil was first found by Seth, the human that took him in for the time, he was frozen in place. Just standing by the street. He was just a little pup, couldn't have been more than a couple of months old. However, when Seth approached him, the young viscling glared to him with an icy stare. Seth had chuckled at the young viscling, saying "Your gaze is about as inviting as a basilisk's." before approaching him cautiously and picking it up. After that, he took to calling the viscling Basilisk, he had no other name for his young charge. It wasn't until Seth released him into the wild that Basilisk decided to start going by Basil.
