There are a few forms up for it, and I am in the middle of writing one.

I am looking to donate...
By submitting this form, I, butterflies_, agree that I am giving up my character to a new home, and will not ask for the character back if it has a form up for it.

I am looking to adopt...

Kennel number: P134
Name: Tulia
Gender: Female
Breed: Wolf
Family: Khalon (brother)

Personality:
Tulia is a naturally quite wolf. She doesn't really see the point in talking to her hard-headed brother, and the rest of the pack who don't take her seriously. When she does speak, she's usually very soft-spoken and isn't heard unless the wolf she's talking to was actually speaking to her in the first place. Her quiet nature is often mistaken for being uninterested or not opinionated about an issue.

She has a lot of problems within her pack mainly due to her brother, Khalon's, position as the alpha while she sits on one of the lowest rungs of the hierarchical ladder. Her brother values physical and mental strength that her quiet nature does not enable her to show off. The rest of the pack follows Khalon's lead, wanting to gain favor with him, and they often look down on her as a disgrace to their pack's strength. It doesn't help that she values hunting over fighting and can't hold her own in a battle.

Khalon privately tries to reassure her that he cares for her and that she doesn't need to take their pack's taunts, but his behavior towards her in the presence of the rest of their pack convinces her otherwise. She wants to call him out on his flaky behavior towards her, but she usually finds herself unable to speak up to his critical, harsh words reinforcing their packmates' condescending view of her. Instead, she just holds in the resentment and frustration for him and the others.

Despite all the verbal abuse she tends to get from her packmates, Tulia is naturally trusting of those who haven't wronged her. She always holds the hope that not all wolves are like those that harass her. There are times that she considers forgiving her packmates for their actions towards her when they apologize to her, but it always comes back to bite her later. It no surprise that over the years, there are fewer and fewer in her pack that she's willing to forgive, and she's started to hold onto grudges that she used to never dream of holding. Her most serious aggressors have lost the chance for her forgiveness, but her love hate relationship with Khalon makes him a weakness to her growing contempt.

Tulia is also very obedient even if she disagrees with what she's being told. Part of this was forced into her through her continuous demotion from relatively high status when the old alphas were around to omega status now that her brother is in control. The other influence of her obedience is her tendency to avoid conflicts. Seeing as she's not good at fighting and living in a pack full of wolves who value strength, obedience was the best strategy she could come up with to keep the others from starting all-out fights with her.

Quote: I have no love for my brother. His actions speak louder than any love he's ever spoken to me.


Kennel number: P139
Name: Khalon
Gender: Male
Breed: Wolf
Family: Tulia (sister)

Personality:
Khalon is rather brutish in nature with strength being his number one priority. Weakness irritates him because showing weakness means showing that the pack is weak. Valuing strength so heavily puts him at odds with his more peaceful sister, and he can't help but make an example of her in front of the pack to be sure they don't become lax in their combat skills. He can tell his actions hurt Tulia, but being soft with her would go against his critical attitude towards his pack. On another level, he wants to make his sister tougher so that she doesn't need to be made the example. He can't accept that she won't change.

Speaking of being critical, Khalon is very critical of all the wolves in his pack. He wants nothing less than perfection from them and can be rather harsh when someone messes up. His own physical abilities keep the rest of his pack from questioning his criticism and leadership, and many of his packmates accept his criticism as advice on how to make themselves stronger. He wants his pack to be the most powerful pack in the area, and anyone who gets in the way of that goal can expect to get an earful from him, especially if his temper gets the better of him.

Khalon is a firm believer in "the end justifies the means". He would easily sacrifice one of his pack members if the entire pack benefits. This is one reason he's so quick to disregard Tulia's feelings when he uses her as an example for the other pack members. His ideals come from watching his parents when they were the leaders of the pack. Compassion didn't seem to get them anywhere, and the pack was constantly harassed by the other packs around their borders. Khalon knew he needed to take control to make the pack strong enough to fight the opposing packs, which meant usurping his parents from rule. His end justifies the means mentality allowed him to both take over and exile his parents from the pack.

Despite his harsh exterior, there is a part of Khalon that feels remorse for his actions. He locks it away as a weakness he doesn't want to deal with and moves forward. He also tends to physically lash out at anyone who makes him think of his guilt and denies the guilt exists. He feels it's in his pack's best interest to move forward and make them the strongest they can be rather than thinking of his feelings.

Why do you want these animals?
I've been wanting to go for these two since they were donated. They looked like they could go together as brother and sister, but I had no ideas at the time and refrained from posting a form. Unfortunately, I just couldn't leave them alone and reluctantly posted a form without knowing what to do with them.

It was only today that I figured out what I wanted to do with them. The problem had been that I wanted to make them really close, siblings. Thankfully, Tulia set me straight. As I was looking at her picture, I realized that they were not loving siblings. She wanted to tell me that they were not close at all. The "quotes" I posted came to me as I was becoming more aware of Tulia's voice. She wanted to me know how much she dislike Khalon, while Khalon snapped out in defense.

I have yet to tease the entire story out of these two, but I already feel like I understand them.

What will you do for them?
They will get a spot on my character site as I work with them and figure out their story. I will definitely color them in free linearts when able, and I'll hopefully have the time to draw them later.

History/Background:

WIP

[albinny trancy]

I'm looking to adopt, love, and cherish...
Picture:
Username: Th13f
Name: Thamani Ya Almasi; means "Precious Diamond" in Swahili.
Age: 19 in human years.
Species: Siberian tiger.
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 91 lbs., 8 oz.
Gender: Female.
Personality: A very sweet girl who isn't afraid to fight when needed. Very kind and gentle; the way a princess should act.
Why do you want her? She's an absolute beauty that I would love to own! She'd be in art contests and would be cherished forever.
And don't even get me started on that design. Oh, that glorious design!!! It's perfect for her, and I'd love to call her my own!
History: Thamani was the oldest of three in her litter of girls. Meaning, she was heir to the throne since day one. Though she's never really been interested in this, she shows signs of excitement for the day she becomes the Chief's wife. A new chief, of course. Although, strangely, she is now nowhere to be found...
Likes: Her friends, people, adventure, her parents
Dislikes: Strangers, thieves, etc.
Social Status: Chief's daughter.
Strengths: Singing, can sweet talk her way out of almost anything, defense, very strategic.
Weaknesses: A pacifist at heart, Thamani hates violence with a burning passion. She can't fight to save her life, and is a little too caring.
Fears: Spiders. They freak the heck outta her.
Short story: (As told in my fursona, Kally's eyes)

Miss Thamani is probably the strangest tiger I ever met. Heck, she's the only tiger I ever met, and still, she seems a bit...off...to me.
I remember the time she met Kris. That fox was harassing her constantly, always poking fun at her. But Thamani didn't seem to notice. She'd just keep on watching with those cerulean eyes of hers.
Another time I remember clearly is when she first met Claire. Boy, did she hate that girl...But ever since then, they've grown real close, you hear? There's no seperatin' those two anymore. Like birds of a feather, they are.
Not much I can really tell you. Our story's still continuing, with me, Kris, Thamani, Prime, and all the rest of them. Who knows? One day, we could probably find our perfect home...
Anything else? Theme song: In loving memory by Alter Bridge.

Username;; bird.
Why do you want it;; Why wouldn't you want her?! She looks like such an amazing little gal, and apparently, she's been here since almost the start! There's no better reason.
Kennel;; 135.

Gyypse. There is no meaning to the name, there is no reason she was called this.


Nickanmes are not common for this lioness, although some close friends call her Gyyp.


Gyypse is four human years old.


Female.


Lion.


3rd July.

Gyypse. Calm, stubborn, rude, misunderstood. Nothing more can explain her personality. She has a heart, but she only uses it to live. There is nobody in her life that she can truly love, other than her mother and beluga whale. She is a cold-hearted lion most of the time, remarking rude comments, or cutting off a conversation with a hiss. Everyone around Gyypse will feels a chill running down their spine; not just because she lives in the Artic. She is simply cold, physically and mentally. This young lion isn't afriad to say whats on her mind, although it is easier for her to keep it all in. She is very good at hiding her emotions, after doing it for so long it became a habit. Gyypse is quite smart; she taught herself everything she knows, because her mother wasn't there to help her.

She is a patient lion. She never wants to rush through things, though very rarely, she will if she needs to. Her coat is very thick, and she can be sometimes too. Most think that Gyypse is always in a bad mood, grumpy, stubborn, snappy, rude, and it is true, but not all the time. Somewhere under that thick coat and cold body, there is a little spark of fire inside her. But it doesn't grow.

Gyypse is not the kind of lioness to judge others quickly on what they act like or look like. She is very cautious, and gaining her trust is one of the hardest things to do, because put one foot wrong and you'll slip away from her grasp forever.


Snow, wind, hail, rain, frost, winter, swimming, snow-capped mountains.

Heat, summer, humid weather, draughts.

Swimming, running on ice, keeping warm in cold nights, hunting for seals and fish.

The fact that she is the only lion that can withstand cold temperatures.

Gyypse fears one day all of the snow and ice will melt.

A metre from the ground to the tips of her ears.


Not much more than 26 kg.


Gyyp has a slim, longish body, but her thick coat makes her an average size.


n/a.


The moon and star on her forehead.


Every now and then you can see her with a star necklace wrapped around her tail.

Single.


Mateless.


Crushless.


Cubless, though she hopes one day to have them.


Her mother was a rare white lion, she never knew or saw her father.


none alive.


Gyypse only has a small beluga whale as her friend; and she can only see him when she is on the ice.


--


The tale of Gyypse, is one not known by anyone else but Gyypse herself. A tale not told for one, good reason: How it begins.

Gyypse lived with her mother and siblings, in a small cave. They had been outcast from their pride, because Shadow, the previous Leader, had been killed and a new Leader had taken his place. He had sent poor Icicle on her way, because she was the only white lion. All alone, with three cubs to look after, Icicle couldn't do it. She couldn't feed herself, let alone her children. For many days, the four of them went hungry, and it wasn't long before the runt of the litter died.
Icicle was starting to lose it. Her hollow ribs would fight to get in air, she couldn't move out of the cave because she was too weak, and a drought had come. Malibu, Icicles other cub besides Gyypse, was so hungry that he left, when his eyes had finally open, and he tried to find soke food. Instead, he became food, being snatched up by a hyena.
Gyypse was the only one left, struggling to live as her mother died. On the day that Iciclepassed away, she held Gyypse up close to her, and whispered in her ear. ''I believe in you, Gyypse. You are strong.'' Her eyes drooped, and, after one, shallow breath, Icicle went limp. Gyypse stayed with her mother in the cave, protecting her while vultures circled. The frail cub, blind in herright eye, gathered a bunch of flowers, and covered her body in them. "I will be strong, Momma,'' Gyypse whispered as she left the cave. "I''l be strong for you.''
