Pet's ID Tag: #103
Name You'd Choose for It: Shimmerling (no change)
Gender:Female
Reason You Want It: She's...beautiful...and honestly, could you resist such a cute little kitty? Her wings are gorgeous!
History/Background/Other:
Shimmerling's wings beat.Her usually white fur, usually glittery in the sunlight, wasn't white in the slightest today. Her eyes, rainbow like her wings, changed color according to her mood, and they were a dull grey. The sky was a deep shade of grey underneath the clouds. She would fly above the 'puffy wet cottonballs' as she called them, but there wasn't an opening for quite a distance, and there was a storm on the way. Shimmerling knew that if she tried to fly any higher, she'd most likely get electrocuted.
After a long while of wingbeats, heartbeats, and many thoughts later, Shimmer spotted a gap not too far ahead of her, and prepared to go through it. She did, and instantly the sky was cerulean blue. She was almost to her hometown, Shimyrblu. Shimyrblu was a beautiful cloud city, the streets paved of a hardened form of condensed cloud. Its buildings were made of moon-pearl, a rock-like material that only grows on clouds and feeds off of moonlight and air.
Poor, messy Shim was a sight for the eyes, and when she arived in Shimyrblu, her mother Arabesque and her sister Rainmist insisted on bathing her, not the easiest task with her wings. She was one of the rare flying cats, and was only one because of the genes her parents had passed on to her. Or, to be specific, her father Firestormer. Yes, the legendary Firestormer, although his names have changed before. Now, however, we are telling the story of Shimmerling, his daughter.
Shimmerling has powers beyond her own imagination. Most of which, she has no idea of. Her rainbow wings she had been born with, but she was the cat of prophecy, the legendary daughter of 'a dancer and a flier'. She would later play a key role in the saving of Shimyrblu. She was given her color-shifting eyes from the sky Faery, whose name is a secret, and then powers she'd had from her moment of birth. Too many, but not too many.
Now, her story, not just her features and the city of Shimyrblu, as well as her family.

"Shimmerling, I'm sorry but I can't right now, I need to help your mother with the house." were his exact words. I smiled and nodded, pretending to understand, but inside I was upset. My mother's parents, whom I don't feel like mentioning, were coming over later that week.
Rainy told me earlier that Papa was fighting with Mom because he needed to go somewhere. Papa says I have two half-brothers and a half-sister. I wonder if I can meet them one day. I've got to ask Papa this, and Mom too. "Rainy, I'm going flying. I'll be back soon, if Mom asks I'm at Moon-pearl Caverns. Okay?" I ask my sister. She nods in reply.
As I leave our hut, my wings beat eagerly. I'm jumping off Skycloud, the cloud I live on, when my wings skip two beats and I fall. "PAPA!" I scream, and he pads over to the edge of Skycloud. When he looks across, I scream "PAPA!"
I'm falling.
Falling through open sky.
And Papa is nowhere in sight. Rainy can't fly, neither can Mom, but PAPA doesn't care!
But huh?
I'm saved?
Because the girl caught me. She saved me!
-----
Now Shimmer has two homes. Most days she lives with Alphie and her characters, but once a year, she spends two weeks with her mother, father, and Rainy. Her life is now complete.
I understand that by adopting this creature I take full responsibility for it.
Absolutely.
EDIT: Finally done on Saturday! Yesh!
