To be honest, Firenze is the most handsome Goennec I have ever seen. His colors are just so soft that it melted my heart. He looks like such a sweet little guy with all those nice colors on him. Nothing flashy or showy, I love it.
Firenze's main color is a light cream, with a darker and more noticable sandy color, that goes along his back, arms, and face in little speckles. On the bottoms of his arms and by his nose dusty gray blotches are seen. Firenze has a slytherin colored nose, eyes, hooves, and horns, all which give him a nice bit of color.
Firenze has a ivory colored mane and tail, which is a bit longer and fluffier then most Goennecs. At the tip of his tail, you can easily see sandy colored markings, along with some dust colored spots. Not to mention the dusty colored 'fluff' around his hooves.

Firenze is a very kind and sweet Goennec, considering he is the Prince's son. He loves when his friends and others around him are happy, and likes to solve much problems. Firenze is one of the more smart Goennec's in the herd, and is constantly thinking of the big picture, not just one part of it. When comming up with a plan or idea, he always thinks of how it'll affect those around him.
Firenze doesn't have the biggest sense of humor, and doesn't get jokes as easily as others. He is more serious, and calm when it comes to being in a sticky situation. He isn't one to get angered easily, and isn't the type to worry and fidget over everything. Firenze is very laid back, and likes to think before he acts. This makes him a vrey valuble friend and Goennec to be around.

"Once upon a time, there was a brave and powerful Goennec. He traveled along the mountains and rivers, rescusing those in need. Fighting against the evil, and always giving food to the poor. He was amazing, strong, brave. He was everything others looked for in a Goennec. He was F-"

"Fake and stupid."

Firenze stopped, ears pricking as he turned around. Looking to see who interupted his story, slytherin green eyes landed on a pair of male kids. They laughed, the numerous chuckles rolling off their tounges. As Firenze frowned, a squeaky voice broke through the laughs. "Stop it!"

That voice wasn't hard for Firenze to figure out, since the one who owned the voice was sitting beside him. It was Poppy. Poppy was a small Goennec, a kid. But she wasn't like the others. She was more like Firenze in a way. Poppy didn't laugh or harass the other Goennecs in the Snow Point Herd, she helped them out. That's what Firenze liked about her. Plus, she always loved the stories he told her.

"Firenze's stories are not stupid. Your just jealous because you'll never be the great Goennec in this story." Poppy said, and the other two kids seemed to roll their eyes and strut off, leaving Firenze and Poppy alone.

"Thank you Poppy. But we must remember to ignore them. They aren't worth anything." He said. "Besides, soon you're going to become a soldier, then you can hang around with me more often." The words were ment to cheer his friend up, though she only grown glumly. "You know what they say, Firenze. My dad says he doesn't think I'm strong enough to become a soldier. I'm going to end up being the fluffy cupcake of the herd." She murmured. Firenze, being his sweet self, shook his head. "Not without me being the snuggly muffin of the herd." That made her laugh, and Firenze was glad for that.

~

It was now the afternoon, and it was as boring and dry as ever. The cold season had passed, all snow had melted. It was still breezy and chilly on some days, but yet, no snow. This was a deep problem because the river had run dry.

Firenze was the member of the Snow Point Herd, a small herd that lives up in the mountains. Firenze was a Soldier, and the son of a desceased Prince. His mother was also a Soldier. When Firenze was born, his father had died from a sickness. The Prim of the herd was a strong male named Gord, who had taken over and acted very much like a father to Firenze. They had a wonderful bond, and Firenze was always a first to know about problems that had risen.

"Firenze, as you know, the river has run dry. I do not wish to say this in front of the others just yet, but I doubt it has dried naturally." Gord started as he sat down beside Firenze. "I think something, or someone, is blocking it, I bet someone has built something inside of it, so no water reaches us. Now, I doubt they know we're up here, but I bet they aren't willing to give the water up." He said, and Firenze frowned.

"But, Gord. Who else could be around? I know that at the bottom of the mountains, and at the start of the river, there is a valley. Do other Goennecs live there?" He questioned, and the old leader nodded. "There are stories that tell of a herd that lives down there, and I bet they have stopped the river from flowing. But alas, I cannot go travel there. I would, but as you know, I'm growing to be quite sick these past days. I've already told Thresh that you are to become the Prince when I pass." He said, and Firenze's frown grew bigger.

"Do not talk like that Gord. You will not be dying anytime soon. I know your older, and sick. But you will not pass away, not yet. Now, I'll take you up on your ivisable offer, since I know you want me to make that trip. I will think about it, and tonight I will discuss my thoughts with you." Firenze said.

~

Firenze slowly exited the cave in which the Soldiers slept, light green eyes spotting the form of Gord. Sitting beside the Prim, he looked up at the stars. "I have thought about your many words, Gord. I will do and find what is blocking the river. I will discuss things with the legendary herd. It'll give me an interesting thing to do in life, and give me something to be proud of. Something I've done." He said, and Gord looked over at him.

"Firenze, you hve much to be proud of. I asked you to go on this journey, not for you to be proud of yourself. You take too much for granted. And that is why you will not be going on this trip alone. Take Poppy with you. And dont try and convice me otherwise. Now goodnight." He said, leaving Firenze in silent shock.

~

The morning had come, and Firenze was still frustraited from his conversation last night. There was no way he could take Poppy with him, it was too dangerous. Sure, he knew Poppy would be sad without him, but that didn't mean she could tag along on his trip. What was Gord thinking?

"Hia Firenze! How are you?"

The sudden noise made Firenze jump, and his thoughts quickly vanished from his mind as he stared down at the small form of Poppy. "Hello, Poppy. I am doing good. And I have something to tell you." He said softly, and she sat down. "Listen, you know about the dry water, yes? Well, Gord wants me to go on a trip to find the thing that is blocking the water, and break it. But the thing is, he wants me to take you."

Firenze watched as Poppy gasped, for she seemed to be surprised by his words. "Are you serious, Firenze? We get to go on a trip together? Oh, this is wonderful! When are we leaving? Where are we going? This'll be amazing." She said, giving a little jump of joy. A smile flickered on Firenze's face, but only for a moment. Then it left.

"Poppy, you know this trip will be dangerous and hard. Do not get completely excited. We need to be calm, and plan things out. We are leaving tomarrow morning. Early in the morning. Tonight I have to talk with Gord some more, and discuss things with him. Do not tell anyone else of this, understood?"

Poppy nodded, and then scampered off, leaving Firenze lost in his thoughts. He wondered how this journey would carry out, and what would happen along the way. But one thing Firenze was sure of, he would have to protect Poppy. If anything happened to her, he'd never forgive himself.

~

The day was pulled away from Firenze quickly, and soon, the moon was high. It glowed an ivory color, and the stars twinkled in delight. Firenze though, did not feel delight. He was excited to go on the trip, but yet, he didn't know how safe it would be. Ears pricked, Firenze heard someone nearby. Turning around, he smiled at the sight of Gord, who was slowly approching the Soldier.

"I know you are a bit upset, and shocked. But trust me, this was meant to happen. I have made my way down the river before, and there are some dens you will find along the way. If you make good progress, you will reach the dens by sunset. Then you can wake up in the morning and travel on. If you are fast, it'll only be two days. If not, it'll be about three." Gord said, and Firenze nodded.

Firenze though of all the things Gord said, picturing the dens and traveling along the river. He wondered how fast Poppy could move, and if she'd dilly dally all day. Though soon his thoughts were broken as Gord let out a ragged and dry cough, leaving Firenze curious. "Gord, are you sick?" He questioned, and the Prim nodded. "Yes, but it is nothing to worry for. I will be healthy in time. Now, go to bed, tomarrow you must wake up bright and early."

Firenze nodded, standing up. "Alright. Thank you for you time and wise words, Gord. Have Plume awake me in morning." Firenze said softly, going into the Solider's cave for the night.

~

"Achoo!"

Soft green eyes opened, nose crinkling after the sneeze. Raising his head, Firenze looked down at the thing that had tickled his nose. It was Plume. Plume was a beautiful blue bird that lived among the Snow Point Herd. She served as a scout, a helpful animal to have around.

"It is time for you to go on your trip." Plume said fluttering around, and then landing on Firenze's shoulder as he left the cave. Looking up at the sky, his eyes grew wide in awe. The sky was such a beautiful color, a lavender purple, mixed with a salmon pink. Only a few stars twinkled along the colors, yet they twinkled brighter then any star Firenze had ever seen. "My oh my, the sky is beautiful. Perfect for a trip." Firenze said softly, then stopped. "Plume, do you think Gord would mind if you traveled with us? Your skills are amazing, and it'd be nice to have another helper." He said, and Plume made a "Hmmm..." sound.

"Gord said you might ask this, and said it was up to me. I'd be happy to accept your offer, Firenze. Eat some grass for a moment, and I'll wake up Poppy. Gord is sick, sadly, and needs his rest. You've heard him, yes? Well, he can't awaken and say good bye right now. And no worries. He's already spoken with your mom, and Poppy's parents." She said, fluttering off. Bending down, Firenze started to eat.

"Hi Firenze? I can't eat, I'm too excited to eat. Plume said she's joining us. Isn't that great? I can't wait!" Firenze pricked his ears and raised his head, looking down to see Poppy. "Yes, I am excited. Now quiet down, we mustn't wake the others. They will not like that." Firenze said calmly, and Poppy nodded, face flushing with embaressment. "Yes, sorry Firenze."

~

Once they had finished up eaten and snacking, they were ready to go. Firenze looked back at the camp of the herd, dipping his head as if saying good bye. Eyes went to Poppy, and Plume, and then the sky. "Wish us luck, guardians of the sky." He murmured, heading into the forest. "We are ready to save the herd."

~Ƴσʋ Δяɛ Ɯαитɛ∂~

This, I believe, is my seventh time trying for a Goennec. A lot of times, right? Well, a lot of those times were when I was new, and had little to know skill at all. The last two rounds I tried hard, so I'm going to try even harder this round, because Firenze is extremely handsome. I love how soft and light his colors are, and how natural he his. I'm in awe with his long tail and fluffy main, and how nicely everything fits.
If I get Firenze, I promise that I'll shower him in love and art. He will get his own character thread, since I will be making one for all the Goennecs I get. There will never be a moment where the thought of bringing him back crosses my mind, because I will always adore him. Also, I'll be holding an art competition soon, so I know he'll get bunches of art there. c:

Lady Masq, you have no idea how loudly I just groused at you for not having a pen number. xD I just woke up, and haven't had time to memorize which is which with these guys.

So, everyone else, remember the pen number, lest you face the... humorous... wrath of a sleepy B. :P

Goennec Pen #:
8

Name:
Andromeda

Why do you want this goennec?:
She is amazing. Period. I just love her simplistic, yet intriguing design. When I saw her, I was a bit unsure whether or not I wanted to apply for her. Then when I thought about it...I knew she was the one I wanted to apply for. Her design reminds me of space and its mysteries (hence why I named her after the Andromeda Galaxy). Space is beautiful and intriguing, and I like to think of Andromeda just like that - beautiful and intriguing.
I think she may have just stolen my heart~ ♥

How would you use this character?:
I would give her a good spot in my character thread. I would also order art for her and just love her. She would be subject to random doodlings, and I might try my hand at writing a story for her. I may also try RPing, although that's a bit unlikely because of real life stuff. Words cannot describe how much I love her, and I can't even start to describe how amazing she is! She is stunning and I just adore her. She. Is. Just. Breathtaking.

Define your Goennec:

General Info
Gender: Female
Height: 2'4"
Age: 12
Tier: Soldier

Personality

Andromeda is a bubbly, eccentric goennec. She will bulldoze through life, living every second like it's a rollercoaster. She also loves to have fun, but in a more bizzare way. She'll put bugs in her mouth (they don't get squashed, don't worry), roll in the mud (very un-ladylike!), catapult herself off tall trees (injuring herself at times), and laugh at the most random times (which gets her into trouble in specific cases).

She doesn't care about what others think of her. If they think she's ugly, let them think that! If they laugh at her weirdness, let them laugh! If there is one thing life taught her, this is it.

However, she does value her alone times. She loves to think about the galaxy and life. She also has a past she doesn't want to talk about usually. She wants to wait to tell her past to that one special goennec she hopes to encounter later in life. She considers it highly unlikely, but...she can dream, can't she?

Andromeda also has a little secret side to her. On the outside, she's a crazy, lovable, and strong geonnec. But on the inside, she's fragile and sensitive. She tries to hold back her feelings, but at times, they will surface. Not in front of other, goennecs, of course!

Likes

The stars ~ She always loved finding constellations and shapes in the night sky. Even if she had a tedious, tiring day, she will manage to stay up to observe the stars. It's almost like an obsession. You will always find her at midnight just staring into space...just watching...
..watching..
...watching...

Life ~ Andromeda lives life like it only lasts a second. She is very...energetic, to put it in nice terms. She appreciates life and is very grateful that she is alive. You can always, always, always count on her to have fun. She likes to say that life isn't complete until you've enjoyed it. Which she believes in very fervently.

Laughter ~ She loves the sound of laughter.
No really, she loves it. She says that's why you can see a faint smiley face on her coat.
(Seriously, I think I see a smiley face on her coat. Near her little bobtail?)

Creepy crawlies ~ Unlike many females, Andromeda simply adores these little bugs. She loves to chase them, poke them, put them in her mouth... She adores these things. Even some of the male geonnecs don't like them, but she enjoys the company of these critters.
Especially cockroaches. Hissing ones, to be specific.

Alone time ~ Even eccentric goennecs like Andromeda need their alone time. She loves to question nature and life, although she denies it. She also reflects upon her past, although she doesn't like sharing her past with just anyone. She's still waiting for that perfect geonnec...
Oops, I'm sorry, did I just say that?

Dislikes

Butterflies ~ Andromeda has had the unfortunate, traumatic experience of harming these beauties. Not that she doesn't appreciate them, she just doesn't want to harm one again.

Depressed individuals ~ She utterly despises depressed goennecs. She wants to help them, but they shun her and her offerings of help, which makes her morph into a furry ball of rage. She considers them "the dead fish in the garden," whatever that may mean...

Flashbacks ~ Andromeda has always suffered from flashbacks of her childhood. She wants to escap her past and not think about it, but the flashbacks keep coming at the most inconvienient times. She's learned to hate them and expect them often.

Being shunned ~ Andromeda ABHORS being shunned. She just despises the practice. She feels as if she's not appreciated. This is one of the very few things that makes her either angry, or down-right annoyed. But never sad.
I think.

Being afraid ~ She is afraid of being afraid. Paradox, much?

History
(I do not currently own any geonnecs. So any geonnecs in the story are just "fake" ones that help with the story.)
_____

My history... I don't really like sharing. But if you're willing to listen, I'll tell you. Every, little detail.

Me and my friends loved to play in the meadows up in the mountains. Under the watchful eyes of our parents, we chased each other, rolled in the mud, and...just played in the welcoming rays of sunlight. We frolicked near lakes and ponds. We'd always find ways to entertain ourselves. There was never a day that went by without some kind of entertainment.

One day, as me and my friends were doing our usual routine of frolicking and playing, our Prime raised his nose up into the air. As soon as he did that, his face expression changed instantaneously. His eyes got wider and his legs started shaking. He sharply turned to us.

"What's wrong?" me and my friends asked our Prime.

He stopped for a split second, shook his head, and walked near my mother to whisper something into my Mother's ear. Her face went blank, but she nodded. She trotted to my Father and they both came to me. I didn't know what was bothering them, but I sensed it. I looked at them.

"What's wrong?" I asked. But a few seconds later I knew. I smelled...smoke. It must be a fire.

Sure enough it was. As I looked at the rolling hills that were always so familiar to me, I saw wisps of red and orange rapidly coming towards...us?

They suddenly flung me onto their backs and they started running. Running, running, running... When we arrived at a small pond, they stopped. They looked at me mournfully and started to speak.

"Andromeda, get in the pond," my Mother instructed, looking at me sternly in the eye. "We will go back to save your friends and the others from the fire. Don't follow us. If we die, promise us...you'll be strong." There were tears in their eyes they dared not drop. I started bawling.

"No," I gasped through sobs, "you can't leave me." I nudged my father and mother on the shoulder and sat down in the shallow end of the pond. Tears streamed down my face as I watched my parents walk away from me forever. Then they stopped and turned around.

"We love you."

And that was the last thing I heard before the fire incinerated everything in its path.

~ ~ ~

A few minutes after the fire settled down, a generous herd nearby took me in. No one else survived, and if they did, they left to recover somewhere. I was immediately put into the Kid Tier. The others scorned me, even though they didn't know me at all. I was an outcast, never able to play with the others. They excluded me out of every single game. They would also talk behind my back. It was always, "Oh, look at her. She's so weird," or, "She's a recluse; don't talk to her." This broke my heart. Almost literally. I was used to being showered with love, and I had the satisfaction of knowing that my parents loved me, even til death. This was a different atmosphere. I endured it for years, listening to them tease me. I always cried whenever they teased me. They then called me a "crybaby," which made me cry even more. I couldn't stand it anymore.

Then, I turned to the stars and space for refuge. It soon became an obsession. I would find constellations in the sky, and I would watch comets streak across the sky. I would stay up for nights to look at the stars and to ponder about the mysteries of life and the galaxy. I couldn't sleep; I was so entranced.

That's when the flashbacks hit me. I don't know how or why, but it just started. It hit me in the face. Sometimes, it would be tid-bits of my childhood; other times, whole episodes would flash by before I opened my eyes with sweat streaming down my face. Sometimes, they just smacked me in the face abruptly. Other times, they were very gradual. But however the nature of the flashbacks, it was painful to watch. Even the happy ones of my previous life with my old herd stabbed my heart repeatedly with longing...to be back...

One day, as I was trying to find Leo in the sky, a flashback smacked me in the face. I squeezed my eyes shut, worried about what I might see. Then...it slowly came to view.

It was that day of the fire. Me, in the water...and my parents looking at me... They walk towards me and tell me... "Andromeda, get in the pond. We will go back to save your friends and the others from the fire. Don't follow us. If we die, promise us...you'll be strong." And now I'm bawling, trying not to let the tears fall, but they do. Then they say...

"We love you."


Then the flashback was over. I shook my head and stood up. I walked around the sleeping bodies of my new herdmates. I tiptoe over to where the kids were sleeping. I slowly sat down and smiled. I smiled. For the first time in many years, I smiled. Because I remembered what my parents said, and it gave me hope and a new strength.

~ ~ ~

The next few days, I changed. I was bolder, I was crazier, I was happier. I even started to cultivate a love for cockroaches. The other wondered why I changed so, but I did, and no one stopped me. The kids that had scorned me so...still scorned me a bit. But I didn't let it touch me. Later, they started to accept the fact I wouldn't be bothered by it. Some drifted apart, some became friends. But that doesn't matter.



I am loved. That is the only reason I need to live. Because no one can take that love from me.

It is irreplacable.

Yup, only limit on number of forms is weekly. :) You could put in one every week if you wanted so long as it's only one each week.

btw, guys, make sure to clear all dust out of your nose and mouth before attempting to eat/drink after being around/on horses all morning. xnx My soda tastes like mud.

Awesome, thank you both!
Man, that sounds really unpleasant.

Goennec Pen #: 5

Name: Virgil

Why do you want this goennec?:
How could I not want this goennec? I am unfortunately weak willed, especially when it comes to cat markings, and Virgil (or rather, the goennec in pen #5) is too beautiful for his own good. He's on fire, burning buildings, causing global warming, all that stuff!

Really though, I must have missed it when you were coloring him in during the livestream, I was kind of inconsistently watching. I love his bright colors! It's not often I see something so cheerfully bright in such a natural way. I feel happy just looking at him, it's really freaky. He really is something though, even in the same basic lineart as all the others, I just feel like he'd be a real character if he could talk.

I can't even manage to draw a reasonable looking doodle of him, he just comes out looking so cocky I can't take him seriously. But that's okay, I don't feel like he was ever meant to be overly serious, at least not from my view point.

How would you use this character?:
I would probably use him in the RP, I'm sorry if I've been pestering people about that. XD
I might have gotten a little overly eager, I don't know why making furry little goat-fennecs walk around and bug each other is so much fun, it just is. They're a lot of fun to draw too! I had art block for quite a while and I feel like staring to doodle these guys again is really helping me out of a rut. Virgil (the goennec in pen #5) is particularly entertaining, so I think it's safe to say I'd be doodling him a lot.
His pattern looks like it would be really difficult to replicate, but I was surprised to discover that it's actually a lot of fun. Especially the end result, I'm pretty sure no matter who drew him he'd be satisfying to look at.

Define your Goennec:

Gender~ Male
Orientation~ Heterosexual
Height~ 2'3
Age~ 10
Tier~ Soldier

Personality

Cowardly~ Virgil pretends he's all that, and he'll even challenge anyone he thinks he can beat in a fight, but when it comes to actual battles and predators he would rather shove someone out in front to get eaten first while he makes his escape.
Flirtatious~ He likes the ladies. Virgil doesn't really know how to take a hint, so he often does a good job of scaring off most potential harem does. That doesn't stop him from trying though, he's very much a ladies man and if you're a doe you're probably worthy of some Virgil time, like it or not.
Virgil has also been known to flirt with non-does. Such as trees, rocks, cacti, and himself. Especially if he sees his reflection in a pool of water.
Ignorant~ Never on purpose. Virgil doesn't know that he's ignorant, he's that way by nature. Whether it's in dealing with females or even rams, he just kind of does his own thing and if you don't like him for it he probably won't notice. In fact, Virgil seems to have the impression that everyone is secretly very fond of him.
Charming~ Some times... Maybe.
Proud~ Virgil likes to keep his pelt very clean, as any goennec should, so that he can strut around like the fur coat he is. He thinks he's pretty darn spiffy, enough to flirt with his reflection anyway. However, he does know how to be modest, and doesn't necessarily think of everyone else as being 'lower'. He's smarter than that, but of course, he won't let on to it.
Classy~ This might be a one sided opinion. Virgil believes that he is classy, so he tries to act very 'adult'. Considering the fact that he's 10 years old he's technically very much an adult, just not mentally.
Poetic~ Virgil is a poet. Maybe not a very good one, but he loves trying to talk in poetry. In fact, when he puts his mind to it he can actually create the illusion of speaking with considerable intelligence. He doesn't really know what he's saying half the time, but Virgil knows how to use words to his advantage. Or he can use them to tick others off, whatever floats his boat.

Likes

Ladies~ I shouldn't even need to explain this. Virgil even enjoys the company of mated does, such as Milky Way. Lucky for him, she finds his antics charming and they get along quite well. Subira too is one of the does he would consider his friend, even though she has no interest in him. He mainly goes after Stargazer and Mai. They don't enjoy his company quite as much. Especially not Mai. She thinks he's kind of creepy.
Celebrations~ Virgil doesn't need an invitation to have fun. Virgil will have fun whenever he wants to, wherever he wants to.
Manliness~ Virgil thinks himself to be quite manly, and considers that to be a good thing. He is especially proud of his nice little goatee, and feels somewhat sorry for anyone who has not been blessed with such a glorious attribute. He often brings up the matter when he's talking to Threonine, because he knows the Prince finds it annoying (he's not always completely ignorant).
Company~ Well, he is a herd animal. Virgil just doesn't like to feel unwanted or abandoned, but he can handle himself fine when there's nobody around to talk to.
Accessories~ Virgil doesn't have any permanent accessories (he thinks he's perfect as is), but he's been known to steal birds nests, punch a hole in the middle, and wear them as crowns.
Heat~ Virgil was born in the desert, and he will always love the desert. Hot weather is good weather. He also blends in well with the desert atmosphere, and that gives him an extra sense of security. There aren't many big predators out there, so he always felt at home and could live easy.
Cacti~ They're prickly, but they always listen to his poetry.
Language~ Virgil is fascinated by what can be accomplished by goennec symbolism. He's afraid of humans, but if Virgil ever was forced to live among them he would be doubly interested in their far more complicated speaking structure.
Kids~ Virgil finds kids entertaining. He doesn't enjoy the fact that they require so much attention and are so dependent on their adult caregivers, but none the less he's quite fond of most.
Elders~ Virgil gets a lot of his poetic ideas from the elders. Guru, for example, isn't even particularly old, but as he is retired he often has time to help Virgil come up with things to do.
Running~ Particularly on sand. Virgil is very energetic, and when he lived in the desert one of his favorite things to do was run along the top of sand dunes and slide down the bottom. Especially when he was a kid, now he might be too proud to do such a thing in front of other adults.
Berries~ It's pretty accurate to say that berries are Virgil's favorite thing to eat. That may not seem very important, but he likes them so much that he will often wear them as well.
The Surreal~ Anything Virgil identifies as being 'surreal' or dreamlike. This includes sunsets, fog, lights in the sky, oddly colored clouds, and old human structures.

Dislikes

Bugs~ It's not uncommon to dislike bugs, but Virgil is particularly afraid of them. Not when they're doing their own thing, but it scares the living daylights out of him to think of bugs crawling around in his fur.
Burs~ Since Virgil lived on the edge of the desert he often encountered prairie grass and the burs that came with it. They would get stuck in the fur around his legs, and pierce his tongue when he tried to pull them out. He quickly learned to hate them, and if he could he'd get someone else to pull them out instead.
Night~ That's when predators are at their worst, and it's not usually very warm at night.
Thick Forests~ Virgil feels uncomfortable in enclosed spaces. He would like to see the sky, and being stuck in among a bunch of towering trees makes him feel twitchy. He's too proud to complain about it, but one can always tell he's uncomfortable in the forest because of his little nervous laugh and the way he'll shift around on his feet.
Losing~ He feels humiliated when he loses a fight. Virgil is quick to get over things like that, but his immediate reaction is usually to speak unkind words.
Noise~ If there is ever suddenly a lot of noise and movement Virgil has a hard time reacting properly. He would prefer a quiet day interrupted by his own voice over a confusingly rushed one.
Rejection~ Considering the fact that he never gives up on does, it doesn't really put him out too much when he is rejected. But secretly, it always bothers him how small to non-existent his harems generally are each Siv.

Life Story
In his own words.

There once was a poor little kid,
Who lacked confidence in himself and the world around him,
Even though he lived in a beautiful place,
He needed to know that there was something more to life,
So he looked up to the sky and said,
"I will find the meaning of life",
Which is a completely ridiculous notion,
Someone as lowly as himself could never find it,
What a dim little kid,
And of course he never did,
That's why his story is so boring,
Mine is far more interesting,
It is so much more interesting that I don't believe you deserve to hear it,
But know that I will live happily ever after,
End of story.

Express your love for her:
RAZZLE. She is everything that is spectacular, wonderful, and sparkly; she is the most beautiful creature I've ever laid eyes on. . . . and she has run away with my heart. I cannot express my love for Razz enough. Her colors are something I'm not usually attracted to because of their flashy, showy, 'glitz & glam' nature, but that is the reason why I love her! She is pure <3 in every way imaginable, with her contrasting, bright color scheme, her lovely pattern, and who can forget those milky, chocolate brown eyes? KAM, I WORSHIP YOUR GENIUS.

How would you take care of this gorgeous little beauty?:
She would be treated as the goddess that she is, with only the finest art, the most spectacular character page, fantastic stories, and role-playing to her heart's content. Razzy will be loved and spoiled more than any Goey (or character) in the world, and I will make absolutely sure of it.

" How could you do this to me? "

Goennec Pen #:
8

Name:
Plum

Gender:
Female

Height:
2'4"

Why do you want this goennec?:
She stood out to me, out of all the others. They are all beautiful this round and surprisingly not many others are going for her, I'm hoping I can give her a wonderful home and if I don't get her may the person who does treat her right.

How would you use this character?:
I'll try to use her in the RP, I'm not that into RP's and offsite ones confuse me, but I'll try my best. I'll also have another friend for Jay & Lady. They aren't 'lonely' but more company is always great!

Define your Goennec:

I didn't want her to be shy, kind etc. But I don't want her to be mean or cruel either. Hopefully I've explained enough to show that ^^;

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Personality

Social
Plum is a social gal, very social at the most. She must be with another goennec at all times, but she'll avoid ones she doesn't like. She's always in the 'gossip' and loves talking. She's a blabber mouth.

Bold
Plum isn't afraid of much, and being social she's not afraid to stick up for herself or her opinion. It bothers her when others are mean to each other, even ones she doesn't like she'll still defend others rights. The only opinion she respects as well as her own, usually is the leaders.

Flirt
Plum is a flirt, she always flirts with other goennecs. To her all males are pretty, but she prefers the tough, strong ones with big horns. Fluffy ones like her, are even better in her mind. Though, once she has a mate she's loyal to him, and rarely flirts.

Kind
Plum may be a flirt, bold and may seem mean but she's really not. Once you get to know her, she's kind, and loves friends like her. She avoids those who think they are above all. She's a great friend, and never tells a secret, she may have faults as she likes attention, but not bad attention.

Story
Stark - Leader/Plum's 'crush' (once I find a goennec male I like for Plum, I'll go for him and this will be 'Stark')
Feather - Deceased Elder
Plum - Main Character
Hunch - Stark's Friend
Turnor - Saw who killed Feather or saw it happening
Cactus - Plum's friend


~❀~

Plum looked out of her den, the others still lay sleep breathing softly in the den. Crawling out, the morning dew shone and the mist still hung. The sunlight slowly crawled up over the horizon, today would be beautiful yet hot. Luckily Plum's herd has a wise leader, and he was walking up to her as she walked out. Yawning, and slightly stretched with an ache in her legs she trotted over to him. "Hey Stark, today looks so peaceful out doesn't it?" She said, he nodded in agreement and smiled. "Want to walk? No one is up yet, I'd hate to have you stand here by yourself. I know how much you LOVE being alone" He said with a playful grin. Plum smiled and nodded "Oh yes, I adore it. Now where shall we walk?" She replied. Stark thought for a bit and replied "Follow me" walked up the hill, Plum and him walked through the forest. It was buzzing with bees and birdsong filled the air, new flowers were growing as well as baby trees.

~❀~

As they finished the walk, they came upon a path that lead them back to the herd quicker. Stark smiled and went on that path, but Plum's never been on it. Rarely did they go on this path as it was useless to them for a shortcut into the woods. Looking around in the path, it was fairly worn but slowly getting covered and lost. It was plain and bare, Plum thought "No wonder no one goes on this old trail anymore" Lost in thought she bumped into Stark when he stopped. Toppling over each other, Plum landed on something furry and big. Opening her eyes she realized it was another Goennec, screaming she bumped into Stark again but got up quickly and hid behind him. "S-stark w-whats t-that? W-who did t-this?" She said stuttering. "I don't know who killed her, but I'm going to find it." He replied and ran to the herd, hopefully most of them were waking up. Following him, she didn't bother investigating but she knew someone from the herd had to do it. Stark moved the herd into a safe clearing of a forest and a cougar or bear definitely didn't do this.

~❀~

As Stark announced the death of Feather, an elder female every Goennec gasped in surprise. Feather was always a kind, gentle Goennec. All the kids looked sad, Feather always told them stories about the herd when she was younger. Everyone knew the real leader, had died of unknown sickness and his son only thought evil. Stark was the only strong male at the time and ended up taking the herd, even without royal blood everyone respects him. Plum trotted up, and stood with the other members of the herd. Stark finished his speech and walked down to where Plum was. "You okay?" He said with worry. Plum narrowed her eyes "We should investigate this, I think someone from our herd did this." She said. "Your right, but who would of done this? Everyone loved Feather" Stark replied his eyes grew cloudy with worry.

~❀~

"Yeah I'm fine" Plum replied. "I'm going to go talk to Cactus and Hunch. You can investigate, I'll swing by later Plum said walking off to the other two Goennecs. "Hey Plum" Cactus said, smiling. "I can't believe someone would do that to Feather. They must be such a monster" Hunch said narrowing his eyes. "Psh. No one liked that old lady except for the kids and you know it Hunch" Cactus said quickly, bothering by what Hunch said. "I liked her" Plum said, looking at Cactus with curiosity. "Well, whatever you say" Cactus said and walked away, her fur prickling with anger. "Whats with her?" Plum said, flicking her ear. "Who knows, ever since Stark talking about the meeting she's been... edgy" Hunch said his voice trailing off. Looking around, he ran over to Cactus and looked as if he was whispering to her. Plum narrowed her eyes and hurriedly ran to Stark. "Stark, Cactus and Hunch are acting... weird like they know something" She said with a pant. Stark narrowed his eyes "Well, apparently Turnor saw Feather going into the forest with another Goennec, he couldn't tell who it was though since Cactus, Hunch, Trevor and you weren't in the den." He said. "So it has to be one of them... I guess I'm a suspect now eh? Well check the for any clumps of fur, maybe she managed to rip out some." Stark nodded, and look but he saw nothing. "Well if any were ripped out we would be able to see it, lets call a meeting with everyone Turnor saw."

~❀~

Stark climbed up the tiny hill, but now it was mid-day, early night. "Hunch, Plum, Turnor, Trevor and Cactus. Come to the little tree forest clearing right NOW" He yelled, and ran towards the clearing. Following him, Plum trotted and the rest walked. Turnor was limping, he said a snake bit him which is why he was limping but now, Plum wasn't too sure as everyone else. But he ignored it, how could a potential witness kill Feather while being in the den. When everyone was in the clearing, Stark looked serious not the Stark, Plum knew. He didn't have the soft friendly eyes, they were hard and angered. "Now, according to Turnor you all were out of the den when he saw Feather going into the forest with another Goennec. That Goennec is believed to be the killer." Stark said narrowing his eyes. "Now one at a time come to me, I'm looking at any injuries and tufts of fur missing from you". Plum went first, nothing was missing from her and she was fine. She helped Stark investigate everyone else. Turnor, had a "snake-bite" but it didn't look like one at all. Trevor had a patch of fur missing with a cut, but he said it was from a fight earlier, which it was indeed. Cactus had a few clumps of fur missing and Hunch was fine.
