~Prophecy~ * Affinity D’Addario * Female * Gif Above
The reason I chose this gif is because not only does it remind me of her appearance, but it also reflects the personality I have in mind for Affinity. She is very down to earth most the time, but frequently she just pauses what she is doing and gets lost in thought. She gets lost in her own little dream world. It is like she is floating in space, alone, but calm.
It also goes with one of her favorite things to do as a kid, play pretend/pretend to be an astronaut with her friend. When her friend had to leave, she would keep playing and the situation would be her partner floated off/got lost in space.
Brutal.
"I still remember Earth. Almost everything about it actually. The warmth of the sun on a summer day. The crisp air during winter. The green grass. The yellow grass. The native animals and the moon. The moon was beautiful. I was there on Earth a long long time ago. Heh. Feels like I left only yesterday.
You see, I was born on earth. Grew up in a native town of the name of Siren. It was a well known town around the world, but it was a small and tight community. Everyone knew everyone. My best friend growing up. Heh. Well she was quite the character. Her name was Victory D’Alessandro. Apparently our ancestors were family and we were related, but really not as that was countless generations ago. It is still ironic that we found our relatives again.
Victory and I- we never treated each other like family, but we were practically sisters. We were very good friends. We told each other everything, including things we were supposed to share. One of the only major fights we had was over the D'Aidone kid. I had a small crush on him, but Victory did too. She knew I liked him but... well we were kids back then. Doesn't matter really. Victory's family went through a rough spot and my parents and I helped them. Victory lived with us while her parents figured out their situation. I don't know what it was all about, but that experience brought us closer.
Victory, of course, moved back to her home when they were financially stable. But she wasn't the only one who would move.
A viscet from a planet called Savannah-E9 came to Siren one day. It was a shock to us all. Life on other planets was still a new concept, so a full on viscet was extraordinary. I, still being a young kid, was curious and wanted to know more about this viscet. I was fascinated by him and his ship. I told my parents I was going out to play. That wasn't I lie- not fully. I was going to go out and play, but I was also going to explore. I snuck off to go close to the ship, but that didn't quench my thirst for exploration. Step by step I got closer to the ship. I played pretend alone, like I did often. Victory and I played pretend a lot. We were firemen, police, robbers, mermaids, dolphins, grown-ups, anything really! My favorite was to play astronaut. I loved it so much that when Victory had to go home I continued playing. The reason for her absence was always that there was a malfunction and she got lost in space to float away to a sad death. I was a brutal child. When young me had a chance to play in a real ship- boy was I estatic.
The adventure soon turned bad for me. As soon as I stepped into the ship I heard voices. Someone was walking towards the ship. I, being a kid who didn't always make rational decisions, decided to hide rather than flee the ship. That was... a stupid decision. I saw the viscet from Savannah-E9 come back, he waved goodbye to three well known viscets in the town and went to the control panel. I was too fascinated by everything in the small ship to realize I had a perfect chance to get out of the ship. I still don't know why I didn't run or even show myself. I kept hidden for hours while he drove the ship. I only peeped out when he put it on autopilot and went to sleep.
He discovered me right before he left his ship after arriving on his home-planet. Boy was he startled! The viscet was confused and puzzeled as to how and when I got on the ship and how he managed to not see me. He immediately started to panic as at the time creatures from other planets weren't allowed on Savannah. He paced back and forth for a while, and eventually came to the conclusion that I would have to stay until his next scheduled mission back on my planet- which wasn't for at least five months. At this point I was on the verge of tears. My parents would have already realized I was gone- Victory too. All my friends and family looking for me.
And nobody knew where I really was.
The viscet awkwardly tried to comfort me, but that didn't stop me from crying. He explained to me that the plan was to tell the others that I was an approved test subject and the studies were about adaptation of my planet's creatures to his planet's environment.
The viscets of Savannah-E9 were intrigued by everything about me. Many had not left the planet or had not ever been to mine. Most had read about us- with all their knowledge and information how could they not?! But seeing is different than reading. They were all curious about this viscet's new project, the study of me. A young viscet adaptating to an environment different than birth. Savannah was a very small planet. Like very small- compared to Earth anyway. They had a sun and their temperatures and seasons were relatively similar to ours. Their atmosphere had more oxygen but was otherwise basically the same. They had water, metals, and really all the basics earth had. It was shocking how similar the planets were."
