{ username } • lady masquerade.
So yup, I'm Lady Masquerade. I'm sure you've seen me around often, Blue, considering I'm on the JBD chat and you made me gift art. I think I would be a bit offended if you didn't recognize my name. xD But I've been on CS since 2009, so I know my way around. I'm smart and I'm online a lot, so if I was to have this beautiful girl, I would take lovely care of her.
{ name } • reina.
The name Reina came to me as soon as I saw her. It seemed to fit her well. Reina means "queen" which only makes her more perfect in my opinion. It'll go well with her story and the personality I have in mind for her. The name itself is also very delicate and beautiful. When I look at her, I couldn't imagine her name being anything else. Reina just clicks.
{ gender } • female.
Even if we had the choice to pick the gender, I would have to go with female. She just looks so beautiful and regal, also delicate. Seeing her as a male? It just wouldn't work. It also wouldn't be good for my story and everything I have planned. She is lovely as a female, and I wouldn't change her gender at all.
{ personality } • peaceful. smart. reserved. dreamer.
On the outside, Reina is a target. She looks shy and insecure, holding her head to the ground in shame, it seems. Shame because she isn't as good as others, because she wasn't born as perfect as hoped for. Others often talk behind her back and make fun of her because she can't see. They purposely push pebbles and rocks in front of her, hoping that she'll trip over them. To them she is a hopeless cause, one who can't be trusted and one who will probably die of earlier then the others.
Of course, they are all wrong.
Reina is aware of everything they do, and what they think of her. She may look like she doesn't understand, but she does. She just doesn't care. She holds her head to the ground because she is tracking something interesting, or because she hears something and is challenging herself to find out what it is. She knows she isn't perfect, but Reina doesn't mind this. She is a peaceful Kiamara with a kind heart that no one has been able to reach yet. Because one of her senses is closed, her others are open and acute. She can hear those who push the pebbles out in front of her, and she can smell them, too. She knows how to ignore and walk over the blockers, and knows that karma will get back at them later. It shows that Reina is much smarter then others take her for, which is good. Let them think less of her, that way they'll be surprised when her true strength comes out.
Reina also doesn't talk much. She isn't exactly shy, she's just more reserved. Giving out your name is like giving up your greatest strength. When others don't know things about you, they can't use anything against you. Reina knows this, for she is a dreamer and puts a lot of effort into her thoughts, since she hears the voice in her head more then her actual voice.
{ story } • the start off wasn't easy.
Reina was the first born, surprisingly. Her parents weren't owned, they lived out in the wild. Reina's mother, Boria, was lucky to have given birth to two healthy pups. Both had gorgeous designs and their parents couldn't be more proud, considering they were the leaders of the small pack they had. The first born was named Reina, which meant queen. She seemed a bit smaller then her brother, but considering she was the first to come into the world, she seemed like a good pick for the future leader. Reina's brother wasn't thought of much.
It didn't take long for the tables to turn.
When the pups opened their eyes, Boria was shocked. Her lovely Reina had eyes like glass, a clear crystal blue. Her brother had dark blue eyes. From the start, their mother could tell something was wrong with Reina, who didn't seem to know where she was going whenever she walked around. She always looked distance, and became confused when her sibling pounced on her or when Boria would speak. She would prick her ears and move her head around, as if trying to figure out where the noise came from. Sometimes she look in Boria's direction, but the upset mother always knew that Reina wasn't actually able to see her. As much as it hurt her, she came to one sad conclusion.
Reina was blind.
Any other mother would take their blind pup and leave it out where it would quickly die off. Or drop it in a lake to drown. But Boria wasn't any other mother. She was the alpha female of this pack, and her kind heart just wouldn't let her do such a thing. She would have to deal with the facts and understand that her daughter would grow up in a difficult world, one that she could no longer be the queen for. Her brother would have to take on the rank instead, and since Reina was a daughter of the alphas, she would be able to stay as a member in the pack. It seemed like the end of her blind daughter's happy life.
Of course, her reign had only just begun.
Years had gone by since that horrible day, and Reina had grown much older. She had learned a few skills that would help her, the rest she taught herself. Her brother only came by when her parents were around. Other then that, he was like something that had died and was no longer around. Reina didn't seem to mind this though. She liked being on her own, away from her brother's side and her parents eyes and her pack mates rude comments. If she could even all them pack mates.
Besides, Reina had her own friends to stay with. She didn't need the Kiamaras in her pack.
During both sunrise and sunset, Reina liked to wander off into the forest. Her mother, Boria, knew that her daughter went off, but didn't tell anyone. If someone asked, which was rare, she would say that her daughter is going to fetch her something, and will be back soon. She made sure no one followed Reina, since she understood that her daughter probably wanted her space. Time to think and be herself.
Boria was right.
Reina would use her open senses and work her way around the forest. She could hear well and smell well, and her sense of touch was a lot better then others. So she always knew where she was going. This was a good thing, since Reina always had one place in mind where she liked to go to. She had certain scent markers and feeling markers to help guide her to her destination, and it never took long for her to reach the secluded part of the forest. The ground always seemed softer there, and there was a few trees and some patches of flowers that made for a nice place to rest. There was a creek filled of fish, and some pebbles along it. Everything here made her happier.
Then of course, there was her friend.
Around a year back Reina had found a baby bird. She could tell what it was by scenting and listening to the creature. She also felt it's feathers and sharp beak. Since she was gentle and kind hearted, Reina took care of the small bird the best she could, letting it fly off when it was ready. She never expected the bird to come back, but it always did. Sometimes she wouldn't be there when it would come, but she could tell it had arrived because of the scent and the feathers that it seemed to leave behind. She used these feathers for her own attire, and liked to wear them around. She loved this place, and planned on visiting it whenever she could.
She may never be the queen of the outside world, but here, in the inside world, she would always be queen.
