Personality|xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Caelum is extremely adventurous; that's the first thing you notice about him. He has a natural interest in not just insects, but animals, bird, plants and just nature in general. He likes exploring, camping and traveling. While we're on the subject of animals, Caelum has a pet, although he hasn't for long. It's a fawn, and a black one to boot. Her name is Ixtel.
Caelum also happens to be rather loyal. He isn't exactly easy to make friends with, but once you do he'll be with you to the end. He is, once you get to know him a little, quite funny. If Caelum is a little bossy, don't blame him. He tries to do what he thinks is right, and is very Likes|

intuitive. Caelum can be impulsive, but he's fairly good at mastering it. Except when it involves taking his friends camping. Once he's got his mind made up, Caelum is quite stubborn and impossible to sway. And when he has a plan, he spends hours on it, daydreaming and detailing. On that note, Caelum is often spaced out, daydreaming abut various things. He sometimes turns his daydreams and actual dreams into stories, sometimes keeps them to himself. Caelum does indeed write, non-fiction and fiction, as well as drawing - but that's mostly nature. Caelum is a lot of personality crammed into one body, and he's like a wheel of personality: he keeps showing different parts depending on his mood and such.
Hobby| If Caelum is asked to pick just one hobby, it would be drawing. He's actually quite artistic, and he mostly draws plants.
How he's treated| Caelum is, in a way, quite respectable. Some tease him for his odd wings -
And get a jewel in the face.
Bug type| Caelum is, of course, a ladybug jewel.
Bug symbolism|Ladybugs are supposed to represent luck and, in asian myth, if you catch one, it will fly to your true love and whisper your name to them when released, so one might say it also represents romance. In Irish culture, ladybugs are seen as symbols of protection. It was considered a good omen by farmers, as it keeps aphids under control. Lastly, the ladybug has also been associated with past lives, religion, and letting go of worry to enjoy life. Rather a lot for Caelum to live up to.Ladybug stories & legends|
Switzerland •
In switzerland, the ladybug takes the place of the stork as a baby-carrier.
Wishing •
Some say if you hold a ladybug and then make a wish, the direction it flies will indicate the source of the answer.
Lightning •
In some myths, it is said the ladybug came to earth on a bolt of lightning.History|Caelum was born into a rather indoors family, so he could never fulfill his urge to get muddy. He had one sibling, a sister, who was of course a much better child from their parents' point of view. One day, when he was about eleven, Caelum, having led a fairly uneventful, book-filled life, was sitting in the living room doing a puzzle, with the house to himself. Then it hit him: he did have the house to himself. His parents were out for the day. It was raining outside, and naturally, Caelum's mother had forbade him to go out in the rain. Caelum went out, made a total mess of himself, washed it off in the rain and did it again. He was interrupted by a loud rumble of thunder, which left his ears buzzing. No, wait, maybe there was just something buzzing ... and then he saw the lightning. It had red specks. Creeped out and not knowing how much longer he had with no parents, Caelum went back inside and had a shower.
All this happened in late spring, and summer was much more eventful. First of all, there was a plague of ladybugs, who had decided they liked him, so that Caelum always had at least a dozen somewhere on his head and back. There was an equal 'plague' of thunderstorms, and Caelum saw the same red specks every time. Third, and lastly, he had strange dreams. Most of them involved flying higher than is possible, being huge, or being tiny. Followed by side effects of thrashing and moaning. In short, it was not a pleasant summer.
Then, at the end of those two months, early fall came. The ladybugs, storms and dreams slowed and stopped, and Caelum was strangely sorry to see them go. But of course, is birthday is really in late summer ... only his parents forgot. Caelum still had a good birthday, though: He and all his friends stayed under one of their front decks. There were presents, and cake. And a world-class hideout. But his anger at his family was not something Caelum soon forgot. He tried to appreciate life until christmas, when, once again, it appeared he didn't exist. His only present was from his oddly-spanish (the rest of his family was french-canadian) aunt. Caelum couldn't take it anymore. He left, like apparently his father had before he was born.
Caelum ended up sheltering with his aunt. He nearly had a heart attack when she told him: his father lived upstairs. Caelum ended up best friends with his father, and life was pretty good with the only other outdoorsy members of his family - who didn't even mind his name change. Caelum LaSalle, in fact, still lives there. He never quite figured out the ladybug mystery, but there's still time ...Art|

Sleeping Caelum •
The name says it all.
Caelum is sleeping.
Failed the design, and almost messed up the wings.
I kinda like it though.

Watching the sunset •
It's caelum, with cosmo and pinon,
watching the sun go down from a tree branch.
I made a mess of all their designs.
A poem •
Creatively far away most of the time
At least he has good ideas
Even so, we suspect he's nuts
Ladybug, or lordbug,
Under those black spots, there's a crazy personality
Maybe you better run from
CAELUM
