A Kiamara is a wolf-like creature. They have long, fluffy manes on the top of their heads, running down between their shoulders. They all have spots on their bodies- a trait in which will never be bred out of their DNA. They also have feathers- every Kiamara is given feathers when they reach the age of 2 years old. Their diet consists of fruit as well as meat- they prey on similar creatures that wolves would. Kiamara can be very shy before they get to know you. Can you win a Kiamara's heart?

While researching the background and meaning of names I thought might fit this Kia, I stumbled upon the name Eleanor. As soon as I read this sentence: The name Eleanor is derived from the Provençal name Ænor, which comes from the words lenire, meaning "to heal," and adoucir, "to soften". (from the Wikipedia page for Helen) I was instantly inspired.
For as long as I can remember I've loved the name Eleanor. After I first heard the Beatles song "Eleanor Rigby" I adored it even more. Over the years I've managed to build up a large group of over twenty characters all with Beatles-related named, but Eleanor has always remained untouched. I felt that its such a special name and such a meaningful song that it deserves an even more special character.
I always knew the basics of my Eleanor would be similar to the song, but she needed some life of her own too. Eleanor is easily forgotten, just like Ms. Rigby. Her lack of speech makes it very easy for her to blend into the background and just be overlooked. Even those who have met her sometimes have absolutely no memory of her. Because of this, poor Eleanor has never had many friends. After she stopped speaking her friends quickly disappeared and were never really replaced. This makes her very lonely and causes her to almost live in her dreams, just like Ms. Rigby.
The meaning behind her name comes into play later on in her life. Like everyone, Eleanor hasn't had a perfect life, and neither has a Kia she meets named Kuluri. Over time she and Luri become friends, eventually falling in love. Although she never says a word, Eleanor helps her heal from traumas and pain in her past. She helps her to be able to trust again, to soften her harsh views of the world. In return, Kuluri helps Eleanor come out of her shell a bit and slowly learn to let go and love once more.
Something about her was just. . .magical. It was like some sort of current pushed me towards her and I had no say in the matter. When we first met I knew nothing about her, she looked a little different but everyone does. I was intrigued by her markings and couldn't help but wonder what type of Kia she was. I approached her carefully, suddenly finding myself very nervous. I said hello, how are you, I’m myself who are you. But she didn't respond. Except that she did, I just didn't see it. I was hurt that she didn't say anything and usually I would have just left. But something. . .something kept me there. I needed, for some reason, to stay with her. I had to know her even if it took me forever.
In reality it only took me a couple of weeks. I quickly began calling her Friday, as it was the day we met and I had to call her something. But I didn’t speak much, at least not for the first week or two. At first I had so much trouble trying to figure her out, I wished desperately that she’d just open up and say something. But over time I began to realize that words aren’t everything. There are a million ways to communicate without a word. And sometimes. . .sometimes it’s better that way.
Over the next few months we became extremely close. I learned what every small movement of her face and body meant, what was imbedded deep within every little blush and twitch and eyelash flutter. I was completely and totally in. . .in love with her. I loved her. I’d never heard her voice, I didn’t even know her actual name, but none of that mattered. She was Friday, the day we met, and I loved her.
I knew she loved me too, her eyes said everything in the way she looked at me, but I could tell something was bothering her. She couldn't directly say it but I knew it was her name. It obviously bugged her sometimes even though she never made a big deal about it. We went on a trip back to her hometown and immediately her name was revealed. Although so many just forgot about her due to her quietness back home, here she was greeted on the street over and over again. Not every greeting was happy or kind, but she was still being seen.
Eleanor. I loved Eleanor.

Nor was a flower child in the most literal definition: as a child she absolutely adored flowers. Each day she’d spend as much time as she possibly could in the mud and dirt with her petaled friends. No matter the weather or holiday she would always make time to see them. She laughed, spoke, and sang to her flowers. She watered them and brushed the snow off of their leaves. Her whole world revolved around them.
When she was finally old enough to start going to school, she became friends with the on-campus flowers as well. No matter where she was, nearby lived a flower who loved her. It was a comforting thought for a little girl who struggled to make friends of her own species (or any species really, except for flowers). Being young and bold, Nor did nothing to hide her immense love for the flowers. A few classmates teased her, but it was never any more than a normal child faced. Honestly the teasing didn't even bother her. Eventually, a group of Big Kid bullies learned about this strange behavior. They came up with a cruel idea, intending to make her cry (but nothing more).
One day during recess as Nor spoke gently to her flowers, telling them all about her morning, the group of Big Kids approached her. Being herself she grinned happily at them, absolutely thrilled that anyone was coming to see her. As she was beginning to say hello the biggest of them all slowly lifted a paw and smashed it down against the flowers. She made an incredibly pained sort of yelping sound, as if he’d stepped on her tail, and immediately began to sob.
Tears streamed down her face as the Big Kids walked away laughing, pleased that their plan had turned out so well. Nor felt dizzy and cold. Her friends had just been stomped to death! They would never again smile at the sun or dance in the breeze. She had to tell someone! This would never be allowed, never be okay. Never!
She told everyone who would listen. Teachers, playground aids, the principal, classmates, her parents, and even her big brother. But their responses were all the same.
"Those kids were rude, but they were only flowers."
"Who would care about such a thing?"
"Plants don’t live forever honey, don’t be upset."
"Why would you cry over this? They didn’t harm you."
"You’re making a big deal over nothing."
"They weren’t even your flowers. Get over it."
"No rules were broken. They won’t be in trouble."
Nor couldn’t believe it. Grown-Ups are supposed to protect kids, not allow flower murderers to roam free! She felt like everything she’d ever been told was a lie. She’d never before experienced being let down because of a Grown-Up like this, and like many children she was deeply affected by it. She decided then and there to never say another word for the rest of her life. She began to act out elaborate scenes for her flowers but refused any sort of communication with anyone or anything else.
Her parents worried quite a bit about her but nothing they tried got her to speak. After a few weeks she agreed to communicate by writing in one special notebook. As the years passed and she got older, she used her notebook less and less. The day she graduated was the last day she ever wrote so much as a single word.
Although she had more or less "gotten over" the Flower Incident, she’d realized that the harsh lesson she’d learned was very much a fact. From being a quiet observer for so many years, she’d also learned another harsh lesson: most Kias she met could talk for days and never truly say anything at all. Communication became a very precious thing to Eleanor, reserved only for those who took the time to truly see her.

Username:TheGAMER
Kiamara name:Bugiardo (Liar) or Verità (Truth)
Kiamara Gender:Female
Story behind the name:The Kia walked on to the bustling Playground, her cloak rapped round her head and body, obscuring her markings. She walked at the edge of the others groups, not daring to go to the others. Her mouth was firmly closed, and her breath came out and in slowly. The others snickered and snarled while pulling faces at her, she did'nt react or hiss back, she just looked down at her paws and continued forward, pushing horrible thoughts and emotions to the side of her mind. Sh-Should we d-do something? Her alter-ego whispered, snorting in her mind. I am all too aware of them, verità, She replied And I don't want to hurt anyone. Verità didn't back down, not this time. So! Th-they are p-playing you, like an untuned V-violin, my dear! Let me h-help you... She said pushing her back into the corners of her mind. Please no! Don't do this! She screamed at Verità, her mind twisting in agony as she was forced into the small space where most of their time was spent talking. Verità walked over to the group of Kia's and snarled. She looked at the smug Kias, "We find it very Idiotic to be wearing a cloak in this weather," The blue kia said mockingly, not noticing her walking up to them. She gritted her teeth, and growled,pushing against The kiamara's mind, Well you blue hair looks absolutely Horrible today! She screamed in his mind, watching in pleasure as he recoiled. He snarled and, without warning, launched forward and ripped her cloak.
All the boys gasped, staring at her strange markings.
She stammered in their minds Th-their just Markings!. They all sneered and began to sing "Liar, Liar pants on Fire!." No! I'm the truth-teller! She hissed, tears welling up as Bugiardo took control, I'm sorry, sister... lets go home. She walked them to the bus as the boys chanted in french "Bugiardo, Bugiardo pantaloni in fiamme!"
Why does this Kiamara never open its mouth?:As she is Bi-polar, her alter-ego has a personality of it's own and when they try to speak, they can't distinguish each other's words, so they jumble and their thoughts mix and create a 'Fake' Personality, and neither of them want to deal with that.
