Workshop Two - Writing Prompt
Childhood~
When Nyx was a small little Kalon her eyes full of wonder and curiosity, she used to always go off adventuring. She'd trek through the frozen woodland around her home and read her books beneath the snow ridden trees. She often got hit by clumps of falling snow and the few books she had were often wrinkled from the pages getting wet. However they never lost their magic, though she read those wrinkly old books each a hundred times at least. She learned a lot from those books and all they ever did was make her want to learn even more.

Teen years~
Though she wasn't much of your average teen she had always been a bit ahead of her time. While most kids were off playing and socializing Nyx spent most of her days with her face glued to her telescope. She'd look at the stars all night and often be passed out the next day on the floor right in front of her telescope. It was around this time that she meet her owl crescent, one night when she had been gazing at the stars and she heard a soft thunk as something hit the snow outside. Later on she discovered that that thunk was the sound of an injured Crescent falling out of a tree. Though he wasn't too keen on her at first when he realized she was just trying to help he eased up a bit and the two quickly became inseparable, after his wing had healed that is~

Adulthood~
Now fully grown the star loving little outcast had quickly found a place in the world doing exactly what she had always loved. She had turned her little hobby into a full blown job. Once she had established her observatory and started taking in guests on the very first day she caught a glimpse of a crow peaking in one of the windows. He was skittish at first and kept pretty far away it seemed that he liked to watch through the windows. She began leaving a window open just in case one day he decided to come in and warm himself and so he did. Eventually he came around and crept in one day while she was doing a Q&A and he sat on one of the back shelves the entire time. He got to where he'd come in everyday until soon he had decided to make this his new home, and that's pretty much how she got her second bird Eclipse. Now the three of them all live together in her observatory teaching other wide eyed kids all about any and everything they could possibly want to know.

Workshop Three - Day One Exercise

Has your kalon ever met their grandparents? If so, what do they think of them? Nyx has never met her grandparents sadly enough!
What is your kalon's relationship with their parents? She very much so loved her parents when they were still around and she learned a great deal from them, however being scientists they left on an expedition when she was in her teens. They never told her where they were going and they never came back. That's part of the reason why she has always been afraid to leave her home town.
Do they have any siblings? Are they blood related or adopted? No siblings adopted or otherwise and as far as Nyx knows her parents are her biological parents.
Does your kalon have children? Do they/did they ever want to have kits? She does not have any children right now, though she likes to think she'd be open to having them in the future. However she's pretty awkward so meeting someone and falling in love might be a far stretch. At least in her eyes.
Which family member is your kalon closest to? Why? She was closest to her father when her parents were around, and to this day she believes they never would have just left her all alone for good so she figures something had to have happened to them.
Is there a family member your kalon wishes they could know better? Who is it? Though she was closest to her father she also wishes she could have known more about him. She has always wished that he could have been around to teach her more and that they had never left on their expedition in the first place.

Workshop Three - Day Two Exercise

Who is your kalon's enemy/least favorite person? How did they come to feel this way about them? When Nyx was a little girl she had a bully. He used to tease her about everything he could under the sun. He'd knock her books out of paws, pull her hair, make up dumb names to call her, etc. Consideing how small of s town she lives in he was always around, they went to school together, they always had to walk home in a small group together and it wasn't uncommon for her to just bump into him while out shopping. If she had to pick a least favorite person it would definitely have to be this boy, she tries her hardest to get along with everyone but he made it next to impossible for her. It's not hard to see why someone would dislike someone that bullies them for pretty much their entire life.

Workshop Three - Day Three Exercise

Kalon Name: Nyx
Link to Kalon: [x]
Besides their best friend, who else is your kalon friends with? Technically speaking she has three friends period her pets and my other Kalon Melody! (aka Mel) Though I haven't spoken about their relationship before Nyx and Mel are incredibly good friends. Despite the fact that Mel and Nyx don't live anywhere near each other they manage to keep their friendship going through letters and the occasional visit.
What qualities does your kalon look for in a friend? Nyx definitely looks for generosity and positivity when picking her friends.
What qualities does your kalon dislike in a friend? She's not very big on those that have a crude/unpleasant outlook on things.
Would they risk their life to save a friend? A stranger? She would risk her like to save a random animal honestly. Her philosophy has always been to put others above herself. So the short answer is yes she would risk her life to save anyone that may be in danger.
Is it easy or hard to earn their trust? Why? I'd say it's relatively hard. She's pretty picky and persistent when determining whether or not she'd allow herself to get close to you. However once you have earned her trust you pretty much have it for life and there is nothing she wouldn't do for you.

Workshop Three - Day Four Exercise

Kalon Name: Nyx
Link to Kalon: [x]
Describe their pet/companion:
Eclipse: Eclipse is a fairly loud and obnoxious crow when he chooses to be. For the most part though he's just a big goof that likes to slack off and make large messes for Nyx to clean up. He's not picky when it comes to food and he often makes a big mess while eating. Bedding wise Eclipse's nest is never orderly and unlike Crescent he doesn't just mess it up a little, he completely destroys it. However like Crescent he is also a hoarder, though his hoarding has no limits. It doesn't have to be round, it can be shiny or old or even completely gross, he just finds something he likes for any reason and will toss it into his dirty nest for safe keeping.

Crescent: Crescent is a pearly white snow owl that tends to be incredibly laid back even though he is a little particular about the way he like things. For instance he likes his food served and separated in a specific way and if even one thing is out of place he will refuse to eat until it's fixed. He's also very picky about his bedding, Nyx has to arrange his "nest" at least twice a day and he has to mess it up to be just the way he likes it. He's very keen about hoarding round things, his nest is often filled with bouncy balls, gum balls, any sports ball, and quarters even though they're flat~ Nyx thinks it's because he finds it enjoyable to roll the things around.
How did they meet their pet/companion?: (I explained this in my writing prompt for workshop two but I'll go over it again here and maybe try to include a little more.)
One night while star gazing in her teen years, little Nyx heard a thunk in the snow outside. Upon further inspection she discovered the snowy owl buried deep in the snow after what looked like he had fallen out of a tree. He flapped and screeched as she tried to pick him up but she knew she couldn't just leave him there so she went and got a little food and a warm blanket before returning. After offering him the food and placing the blanket over him Crescent had realized that the small Kalon was trying to help him so he didn't put up much of a struggle after that. A while later once he had warmed up to her she carried him into her home and made him a small bed out of an old box that had just been lying around unused for who knows how long. Weeks had passes and Crescent had recovered and though Nyx had offered to let him go for some reason he didn't seem to want to leave. Somehow he had grown attached to the girl and he hasn't left her side for very long since that day.

Years later when Nyx had finally become an adult and was finally seeing all her dreams becoming a reality she had opened her very own observatory. From day one there had been a curious young crow hanging out in the windows of her observatory, Nyx herself had always had the policy of never turning anything away that wanted to learn or to be included so she chose to leave her windows open in hopes that one day the little guy might join her for an actual session. At first he'd just fly in for brief periods of time and steal an item or two from guests, usually it was just food but occasionally he'd be a bit more mischievous and steal things of higher value. Eventually Eclipse grew accustom to visiting the observatory every day until he just kinda moved in one evening. When Nyx was closing up she noticed him just sitting there on one of the displays looking at her with his head turned to the side. She offered him the exit and said that if he didn't hurry he was going to get locked in until morning. However he didn't budge, though she's pretty sure he couldn't understand her she decided to say oh well and made him a bed for the night. Eventually he became a member of her tiny family and she has cared for him ever since. The only thing that has really changed since she got him is now she has somewhat taught him that stealing is bad. He still does it occasionally however~

Workshop Three - Writing Prompt

Kalon Name: Nyx
Link to Kalon: [x]
Prompt: Featuring Melody! (aka Mel)
When Mel was a teenager she was very into traveling and exploring all kinds of places and things. One of these travels lead her to a small cold little town in the middle of no where. She had originally just stopped in to pick up some food and a thicker jacket for her travels when she heard about a local observatory where everyone seemed to exclaim that looking at the stars form there for some reason looked so crystal clear that you believed you could almost touch them. Of course she became interested in such a place and had to see it for herself so the next day she hiked up to the secluded observatory and though she knocked the door was left unlocked. Calling out inside the building she soon found that she was greeted by two birds. Though the appearance of them together kinda threw her off and gave her a very creepy vibe she waited at the front entrance until she heard someone shout from the back "I'll be there in just a moment!" and true to her word Nyx appeared but a moment later then with a smile and a handshake she introduced herself and her birds. After Mel asked what there is to do at this observatory Nyx spent the next few hours showing her around and answering any questions she might have. Mel really admired Nyx's wisdom and Nyx really admired the kind innocence that surrounded Mel. After spending that day just the two of them exploring her observatory and learning all kinds of things and how vast the world was it made Mel even more eager to explore it. Mel told Nyx all about the places she had gone before and the places she wants to go next. They hit things off pretty quickly and ever since that day they have always managed to keep in touch. When Mel has some free time she often stops by and the two of them catch up while gazing at the stars.
