[Solanum]

username;;
My name is Solanum, most commonly referred to as Sola.
I currently own one Kiamara, Honani, but am hoping to add to that number <3

- The Basics -
name;;
Kharon
→ Ferryman of the dead over the river Styx, from Greek Charōn
→ Has the meaning of 'death'

gender;;
Male
I seem to connect with male characters more than I do female. No clue why, but that is why he is male c:


- In the Flesh -



eye color;;
The eye colour is a blue-grey. The eyes stand out just enough from the pelt with the hint of blue amongst the grey, however are still dull enough to be ignored where a piercing blue or green would catch the attention of others. This allows him to hide amongst others easier. The colour is pale, but he is not blind as light coloured eyes seem to mean to many people. The pale colour would usually express emotion easier than darker ones, however his remain fairly constant and dull due to his limited range of emotions.

Paw pad and inside mouth color;;
His paw pads and the inside of his mouth are a similar colour. Had he been entirely healthy, the colour would have been more vibrant, however as he does sometimes neglect his health, the colour has been dulled. Not so much that it is unhealthy, but the pinkish colour has taken on a more purplish-grey in the lack of care.

hair style, length;;
Reference Reference until one is drawn.
The hair is shorter than that of most Kiamara. It keeps the same dark colour as it does in the main reference here, although the style differs. Though maintaining an air of messiness about it, his hair is fairly neat. Nothing falls down over his face, as he knows it would distract him, and possibly detract from the appearance he wishes to show the world. His hair is not quite ordinary however. He needed it as an edge, so that others would pay attention to him.

feather placement and color;;
He has two feathers. One attached to the higher part of his left ear, and one wrapped around his tail. The feathers are uneven in sizes, and very dull in comparison to those of other Kia. This is because he had to collect them himself when he came of age, as no one else was going to. His parents were disgraced by him as he caused a lot of trouble when he was young, so he took some feathers for himself from some local birds. These are quite rough and out of shape, much like the bottom here and once belonged to a common pigeon. In an attempt to make himself like other Kiamara, his feathers have been unevenly dipped to stain the end red. What they were dipped in is a mystery.

other accessories;;
As an anthro, Kharon works as a lawyer, therefore one of his accessories is a tie. The tie is a darker brown-grey similar to some of his markings, and hair. It is block colour, as a patterned tie would make him look less professional. This may conflict with the hair, however he believes that his attire demonstrates his professional life, and his hair demonstrates his personal. In truth, there is no real reason for this, but he would happily come up with one if asked.
Though not worn, additional accessories include a small black notebook and a pen combination. It is simple, and does exactly what one would expect. It is simply there for him to make notes in should he need to remember anything.

horns;;
Reference image to be used when I get it drawn
The horns I have chosen for this Kia would be that of a pronghorn. Not one of the three normal ones. I've always been fascinated by the appearance of these antlers, so they came to mind immediately when I found out I could decide on the horns. As shown in the image, they would curve back towards the neck of the Kia, and they would be angled slightly forwards so this curve would balance out the weight. These horns would be the dark colour of the natural horns, as shown in the reference image above.

- More than just flesh deep -

personality;;
From the way Kharon allows himself to be perceived, he may appear just like everyone else. But that is all just an act to get close to you. He will charm, manipulate and lie with great skill, so that you will have no idea who you had just met. This act could last as long as he wanted it to last, so you could go for years without knowing his true nature. You only know what he wants you to know. Kharon possesses no remorse or shame for his thoughts and actions, and looking deeper into his true self, it could be questioned if any of his feelings are real or simply there to lure you into a false sense of security while he plans his next move. He refuses to take any blame for his actions, so allows others to feel the guilt. The consequences do not matter to him. He never feels any sense of responsibility for what he has done. This is because he views everyone else as beneath him, and though one would usually show that as a narcissist or powerful figure in society, he merely hides and feels disdain watching others relishing in their meagre self importance. As a highly intelligent being, he displays clear control over himself, particularly in his precise planning. Though he may save aspects of his intelligence just in case he needs it. For he is not a psychopath, despite displaying several of the known tells, though this does not mean that he hasn't got the potential to do great harm. Although he can also possess the sudden aggression of a psychopath, his much more controlled behaviour suggests that he is in fact a sociopath, although the lines between the two for him are incredibly blurred. He can strike out incredibly quickly with a great deal of aggression if such a response is triggered, however his general plan of attack is much more precise, accounting for different factors and only moving when he feels the time is right. Where a psychopath might leave evidence behind, he is meticulous in his clean up, and will leave no evidence. Even if the act was done in the manner of the psychopath, he fears detection and will snap out of his rage to complete the clean up. Similarly, if he feels his guise has been compromised, he will leave town, regardless of any plans.

extra;;
For my extra I decided to do 4 100 word pieces from prompts, because I think that allows me to show different aspects of the character. So here we are. May contain mature themes depending on which I choose to use.

Calm

I watched him carefully over the desk, cracking a smile as he shouted. My calm presence never breaking, not even for a moment. How could I be so calm when I had received the same news as he had? Guilty. Death row. Wasn't I there to defend him? To stop things like this from happening? I merely continue my smiling, leaning across the desk so close that our noses could have touched if I had wanted them to. He had asked why I smiled... So I gave him an answer, though not one he would like. Your death... I ensured it.

Wish I had an angel

Wish I had an angel, a net for my soul. I've done bad things, and you suspect yet you believe there is more to me than this. Perhaps I could be saved, if you were there to catch me? But deep down you know it's useless. Your intentions are pure, mine are not. My mind is damaged beyond repair. You can't fix me. I fear for my future, but I'll never repent my sins as you would want me to. I feel no guilt, no sadness, no responsibility. I am a monster. Don't endanger yourself trying to fix my damaged mind.

Secrets

Her eyes met mine for a mere moment, but that was all it took. She tried to run, but I quickly kicked out her legs from underneath her. I grasped the handle of the blade on the counter, admiring my reflection in the metal, before I made my move towards her terrified form on the ground. I stopped, waited, watched. The fear in her eyes was truly a delicious thing. Allowing my instincts to take over, the blade pierced the soft flesh of the gut, ripping through the tissue to reveal what lay beneath. She knew my secret, she had to die.

Abandon

You never did understand me, did you? You never understood why I was the way I was. Distant, cold, dark... Lost. But instead of helping me, you left. You left me to fend for myself. I waited, reaching for you, but you didn't come back for me. I was wounded by your footsteps, but I was stronger than you had predicted. I picked myself out of the mud and carried on. I didn't need you to carry me, I was determined to make it on my own. And make it I did. Bet you wish you hadn't left me alone.

Not including titles, word count = 404.
You said that was okay as long as not 20 words over, this should be fine c:

username;; sugarkitty.

-----------------------------------------

name;; sonia
russian variation on sophia, a greek name meaning wisdom.
gender;; female

-----------------------------------------

eye color;; [reference]
Sonia's eyes are a light gray color. Although it may not be the most eye-catching or bright, she isn't a kiamara that likes others' attention, and highly prefers to be left in the background. Because of this, I didn't want to give her neon eyes, or something that would stand out from the rest of her design. I wanted to keep her kind of soft and gentle, an I think the gray I picked fits nicely with her design.

hair style, length;; [reference]
Sonia has long, curly black hair that she always makes sure is very silky and smooth. It is very soft and light, and doesn't require a ridiculous amount of work. She takes very good care of her hair and always makes sure it is in prime condition. Although she isn't particularly concerned about her appearance, she makes sure to take care of her hair and mane. She has one little curl near her eye that is always there, and no matter how hard she tries to get it out of her face, it remains there. She finds it rather annoying, but there's not really anything she can do about it.
In addition, her tail is curled softly at the tip, as it makes her feel more elegant.

feather placement and color;; [reference]
Sonia, being the Kiamara that she is, doesn't want to stand out too much from everyone else, and thus wears feathers in the same location as most other kias. She has a sort of fascination with wildlife, namely, birds, simply because she admires their elegance in flight and the wide range of variance they have within the numerous species. She spends much of her time bird-watching and has collected a number of feathers from some bird species. On her front left paw, she wears two dove feathers because she finds them beautiful birds. She also loves how they are associated with peace, something she hopes the world will find someday. On her tail, she wears a red-tailed hawk and eagle feather, as she admires the strength and power of birds of prey. She considers herself rather weak and useless, and so she uses the bird of prey feathers to give her strength and confidence when she doesn't have any.

other accessories;; [reference]
Sonia wears a black bow in her hair, and a silk scarf with a bell around her neck. Both of these she received from her mother, who left at a very young age. Her father was rather neglectful, and he and Sonia did not have a very close relationship. She was raised separately, with a different family, and doesn't have very much contact with her father even now. Although Sonia doesn't remember her mother, she believes that her mother would still care about her, and thus wears both of them to comfort her.

horns;; I decided not to give Sonia any horns, as I felt it didn't really fit with the ideas I had for her. I did play around with some designs, though, but in the end, I didn't feel as if any of them really fit her. I didn't want to push it too hard, so I decided that if I wasn't finding anything I really liked, it wasn't meant to be.

-----------------------------------------

personality;;
Sonia is a quiet, sensitive Kiamara who is slightly insecure and a little bit nervous around others. She is very gentle and kind, and enjoys helping others in any way that she possibly can. She doesn't like to stand out, and thus makes sure that her appearance and behavior won't draw attention to her. She speaks very quietly and hesitantly, as she's always afraid of insulting someone or saying something wrong. Sonia doesn't like to start conversation herself and prefers to be approached first rather than initiating conversation. In fact, she'd rather not talk at all, but she's always afraid of being rude, and will continue conversation if they wish her to. One of the reasons Sonia is so hesitant about talking and interacting with people is that she has a slight stutter. When she was younger, people used to tease her quite often for it, and it made her extremely hesitant and shy being teased for such a long time. She is also extremely sensitive, and does not take insults or teases well.
Sonia is generally fairly happy and content with her life, although sometimes it's not easy to tell, as she doesn't often show emotion and doesn't share her feelings with others. Despite her quiet and insecure exterior, Sonia is actually very playful and fun, and she really enjoys playing with others (especially younger kiamaras) and just enjoying herself in general. She doesn't often show this side of herself, however, as she's extremely nervous in public. Some of her favorite activities include taking walks or hikes, taking photographs of nature, and birdwatching. Sonia is a very outdoorsy Kiamara, and she enjoys the serenity of nature, as it helps her reflect and get away from the business of the city and the people in it.
Sonia is very soft and gentle towards everyone, even those people who have been mean to her in the past. She forgives very easily, and doesn't hold grudges, but this often makes her more exposed to and affected by people who tease or make fun of her, since she doesn't retaliate or do anything about it at all. Although she doesn't have very many friends, the ones that she does have, she is very loyal to and makes sure that they are happy and does whatever she can for them.

extra;;
For my extra, I've decided to account some of the reasons I was drawn to this girl and why I would love to own her. This isn't something that I'm doing because I want to make you feel bad if you don't give her to me, it's something for myself too. I think writing down why I love her and what exactly makes her so appealing to me would be good and even though I already love her very much, it would help me get a better sense of connection with her.
First of all, this is just a beautiful Kiamara in general. I tend to be drawn to more natural designs, such as this one, and it's no surprise so many people are going for her, she's just beautiful. As soon as I saw her, I fell head over heels in love with her. I was hesitant to apply, however, because there were so many people applying and I never really tend to win stuff like that. The more I looked at her though, the more I knew that I needed to try. Even if I lost I knew I needed to at least try, to at least know that I had done something for her. As long as I could do something, I felt that was better than nothing. I got a bunch of ideas right away, and even if they weren't as detailed or extravagant as some of the others, I didn't see Sonia as a very 'busy' Kiamara, I saw her as something more subdued and natural and not with 100 accessories or hot pink eyes or anything.
Something that I also wanted to put on Sonia was my own stutter. I've stuttered for as long as I can remember, and I've always wanted to have a character with the same quirk. As soon as I saw Sonia I knew that I wanted to give her a stutter. As I developed her character more, everything fell into place and I was really happy with what came out of it. I've connected more with Sonia than I have to any other character for a while now. The contest was a super fun idea and I wanted to give it a shot whether I won or lost. Everyone's forms are very very good, and I wish everyone good luck!

[kibbleeCat]

name;;

I'd like to introduce you to miss Jenna Haydin. She would be very happy if you called her Haydin.

gender;;
Haydin is definitely female. I can't see her as anything else.



eye color;;
Haydin's eye color is a beautiful blue color, as you are seeing above. The hex code for this color is #004DFF.

hair style and length;;
Haydin has gorgeous long hair, that is naturally wavy. Her hair always looks like she's just been at the beach.

feather placement and color;;

Haydin has two brilliant feathers around her left horn, one with the design if a peacock's feather, and longer than the usual a feather, and an elegant light blue color. Around the end of her tail she has three, two longer than usual and a light blue color, and one with a peacock feather design.

other accessories;;
Haydin has an orange flower charm that she wears around her left front leg. It was a birthday gift from Isabella 4 years ago.

horns;;
Haydin has exquisite horns that look almost identical to this, just a tad bit shorter.



personality;;

Haydin was at first a very shy Kiamara, but however she has blossomed and now, she is one of the sweetest. Haydin is a very kind little lady, despite her very young age. Her number one pet peeve is when people lie, she is very honest, and would never do anything to hurt someone purposely. As her history tells, Haydin is very athletic. Many other Kiamaras tease her because she is a 'goodie-goodie', but it has never bothered her. Not even once. In private, Haydin loves dressing up like a princess, and acting all girly. To sum it all up, Haydin's mixed-up personality is honest, trustworthy, athletic, girly, sweet, and a 'goodie-goodie'.

history;;
All the chaos started when she was born. Her family lived on a small tropical island in the Carribean, and she was born on the beach. All of a sudden, a gigantic wave came and swept her up, stranding Haydin in the middle of the sea. She cried and cried, hoping someone would rescue her. After almost 4 months, she ended up on an island about 250 miles away. She saw a family of Kiamaras, however she was gray and black while all of them were colorful and bright. She walked over, sat in a bush near the family, and watched their ways. After an hour or so, she stepped out, and walked closer. One of the children saw her, and walked over to her.

"I'm Isabella. Who are you?" Hayden just hung her head down, and blushed. Isabella ran to her family, came back to Haydin, and told her, "We decided to call you Jenna Haydin." They couldn't tell whether she was a girl or boy, so they chose names that suited both. Isabella nudged Haydin toward her family, and introduced her to them. The other family members made faces at her because of her dull colors. Haydin ran away to a new bush.
Isabella's family would never accept Isabella of course, and she brought Haydin food from the family's meals every day. Eventually, the family accepted Haydin and welcomed her into the pack. She grew on the family greatly, and they followed her everywhere.
It was another year before Haydin got her feathers, and when she did, she was so happy she ran all around the island for an hour straight. After that day, Haydin ran around with a big smile on her face all the time. She became an incredible runner, and Kiamaras from all around the world came and challenged her, however she was never beaten. Haydin became very famous and well-known, only at age three. At age five, she and her family traveled to the country, so Haydin could run more. Now, at age six, Haydin is known as the fastest Kiamara in history. (349 words)

Dingo.

oath;;

I, dingo., solemnly swear that if I do get the honor of owning Jenna Haydin, I will give her all the love I can. I will never ever neglect or forget her, and if I cannot take care of her anymore, I will return her to you, apple, so you can put her up for re-adoption.

a note to apple;;
I know the my history for this baby girl is crazy, and that I went all out, but that's just me xD. Anyway, I will be on vacation when judging happens so if you are disappointed that there's one little part of my form is unfinished, that's why. I know judging is going to be a bit overwheliming for you, but just take your time, nobody's rushing you.

username;;

loveTHATwolf; also commonly called LTwolfy, LTW, wolf, and wolfy. But anything related to the username works for me, I'm not picky.

name;;

Sia, I named her this because there is a song by a singer known as "sia". And I feel the song fits her personality quite well. Plus I think it has a really nice ring to it. Simple and sweet.

gender;;

female. Maybe I have an obsession with making female characters, but I really do see this one as a female. I tried having some male possibility when I started doing some art, but I wasn't feeling it. From the dark brown captivating mane, short or long. To the soft and warm browns swirling and bubbling together in a calm manner, I think it's beautiful. Not handsome.

eye color;;

A golden color that darkens through brown to black towards the center. A pretty natural color compared to many kia's eyes, but just as beautiful.

hair style, length;;

she has a very long mane, the part at the front always shifted over to the left side. She has her mane cover both eyes, as she becomes insanely paranoid when others are staring at her. The mane that would go down her neck is held in a very large ponytail. She has pink streaks that turn to hot pink towards the ends, there is white in small streaks from the base of the dyed hair. The parts of the mane that aren't tied back are cut very short and covered by the ponytail.

horns;;

Sia's horns start behind her ears and curl in a way that they point out almost parallel with her muzzle. They are a variety of grays. The lightest color starts on the bottom at the tip and runs along the underside them dots to the end of the base in three broken lines.

feather placement and color;;

All have varying shades of pink and a dark grey. She has five, two connected to a bangle on each shoulder area, and one connected to the band that holds in her ponytail. Her feathers are very large and flashy much to her disliking, but they were given to her by her mother, who is big into fashion.

other accessories;;

She wears black leather strips that wrap around her forelegs multiple times. A simple item chosen by herself.

this image was made by the amazing Ruki ki <33 love you!

Personality;;

Sia seems to be one to flaunt and flash with her bright highlights, "big" and long hair, and large fluffy feathers. She looks like the one who will stop the world in it's tracks with just her stride, but this is not who she is. This kia is insecure, awkward, insanely shy, and reserved. She doesn't often interact with others, and when she does it isn't uncommon for her to not say a word. Sia is afraid, afraid of being judged, afraid of what the world thinks. The beauty in her is something she doesn't see. Safety is something she doesn't feel. Everything is dangerous, just a casual conversation is something she just can't do. Her hair sweeps over her eyes so that she doesn't have to see the looks on others faces. She is special, everyone is. But that may be one of her issues. She can't hide from the world. There is no going under the radar. She is very reserved, if you get Sia to talk it is most likely a brief conversation. Her walls are no easily broken. Though if you get past you will find a wonderful inside just waiting to be discovered. A passionate and faithful female with a mind that is full of amazing never ending ideas. It takes time and dedication to find who she is. A heart of gold to break her icy coating that she hides behind. But the warm comforting fire tucked inside is worth the wait. if you are willing to find her, she will amaze you with what she has yet to show.

Bye the awesome Nympheera, thank you so much <3

Since there was nothing else to put here, as I don't have much time. Since the end date is today, I decided the least I could do is tell you the song she is based on. It is "breath me" by Sia.

Thinking of the perfect one...


is female all the way! And straight.


's eyes are very unique, each eye has three colors! Her right eye is a 1783aa with a 17aa80 haze and a 0a3824 pupil; her left eye is a db64e0 with a 8364e0 haze and a 361752 pupil. I could decide wich I liked better, so I went with both as I love two-tones eyes and they aren't very common.


's mane has a little curl to it...


's mane is normal and her tail is little long.

Thinking...

Thinking...Maybe a blue or pink....

WIP

None, I think she looks perfect without them!! I would also draw her a little more if she had no horns because it's one less thing to add xD
