[*Blackberry*]

My name is Arrow
A male
I have two younger sisters
My mom is Lilly
My dad is Storm

I'm *Blackberry*
I'm trying for,
Barabus

I walked carefully towards the place of five stones, I always wanted to go there and watch a daeet is being woo, and once they choose. I whinced in pain, as my left paw, stepped onto a sharp rock.
My paw was covered in a bandage, I injured it last week, but insisted to come. Maybe it was a bad idea, who knows if a daeet would even show up?
I climbed up the stairs made of rock, and mady my way into the cave. The cave gave me a feeling that I always felt, when I was at home. I sat down, and sighed,looks like I was right. Not a single soul to be found. I pawed at the ground with my right paw, it was the only thing I could do. For now.
I had pawed at the ground for hours, the feeling in the cave had disappeared, and I was now in a foul mood. I heard footsteps, with my good hearing, I knew it was a human.
It said neverously, " I'm Rima, your name is? I think I was too late to hear your speech, but I want to tell you... " I snapped, annoyed, " I'M NOT A DAEET WHO SEEKS COMPANIONS! " I snarled, one of the best things I can do well. I'm mighty proud.
I watched the human's eyes, it glanced left to right, and I saw tears creeping out of its eyes. It knew I knew that it was going to cry, did they expect me to pamper them?
No way!
Not in this life! Or any other life!
I growled, and pushed myself off the rock, and stomped to the other side, in the dark corner. But my eyes and back hind paws glowed mysteriously. As if it mattered.
I closed my eyes and was about to sleep, when Darrious performed the magic rites.
I snapped right awake, this was it right? Right?
I stood up, my blue eyes glowing more brightly than ever. I had never felt this excited before, okay, this is the second time. The first time was before I got a robotic almost-realistic dog toy, which was custorm painted, and looked like a mini dalmation puppy.
Just the way I wanted.
I saw a few people arriving, just like me, they had hopes, and never gave up, always visiting. Wait. This is my first time.
I watched closely, as the new daeet introduced himself, I could see in it's eyes, kind and wise. I pricked my ears, not wanting to miss his speech.
His name was Barabus, pretty interesting. I wanted to woo him, but... maybe I shoudln't. I don't think a daeet have ever woo another daeet before.
Unless for mating.
I guess.
As if hearing my thoughts, a old man spoke, " I have seen a daeet woo another daeet. Will I be able to see another one? "
I stood up, and stepped away from the shadows, I walked calmly towards Barabus, " Hello Barabus, I'm Arrow. I have no nicknames. " I lifted my left paw as a greeting.
" I heard you wanted someone to take care of you till you're old? " I said, making it sound like a question, but expected no answer. " I'm able too. But in return, I want to hear, about the crowning, the war, your adventures. " I continued, " I easily get sick,, so I can't go out. This is the first time, I auctully travelled on my own. " I flicked my ears, buzzing away the flies.
I recalled back the times I travelled, my younger sisters were able to go out alone, but I was never able to. Maybe because I was a rare type of daeet.
I sighed.
Sometimes I wished I was just a simple male daeet, not a rare or what. I snapped out of my thoughts, and coughed as if to say sorry.
" I won't really be a companion, a friend " I continued, embarrased for daydreaming. I pawed the ground, looking at it, " I can offer alot of things, I have plenty of stuff. Maybe one that you don't even know existed. Like my inventions.. " my voice got quieter when I started with the last sentence.
I stood up, bowed and mumbled, blushing, " sorry for daydreaming earlier. For now, I have nothing to give. I came unprepared, thinking that I won't woo. But I did. Sorry anyway. " I finally lifted my head and looked into his eyes, and bowed once more and walked into the shadows.

Kale_dragon_keeper
Woo:
As soon as the delicate female first was seen approachinig the Stone, there were many obvious snickers and murmers about how she had absolutely no chance and that she should not even be there. The fae felt her heart snap alittle bit at the mean, rude words being spoken about her but tried her best to ignore them, flattening her ears against her skull. Typically, any daeet honored enough to have been born with a sash was widely respected, no one dared to make a negative comment about her/him. Not when it came to Juliet. She was known as the sweet-heart of all daeets, of the hopeless romantic who would do anything for love, as well as anything to help someone in need. So, she is constantly taken advantage of, and when others run all over you like a rug, well, everyone starts treating you like dirt. That is exacty how it is for her.

Deciding to spare herself the drama, and hurt, the small female stayed towards the back of the group of wooers. She stood very nervously, her paws/hooves constantly moving in place, squirming around, obviously very uncomfortable in this place, surrounded by who she was. But that didn't keep her bright green eyes from glancing around every so often, waiting, as patiently as she possibly could, for the arrival of the new daeet seeking a companion. She wasn't quite sure if she would even be able to gather the courage to try to actually woo the creature when the time came, but was determined to at least try. That is, until she began to get multiple snarls and harsh looks, and she lowered her head within several moments, about ready to just walk away, when she spotted him..

Juliet froze in her tracks, not a single muscle on her body moving, her eyes locked on his form as he approached, not even hearing the gasp from those around her. He was most certainly unique, but the way he carried himself, with such pride and yet not disdain, not arrogance, that in itself caught her attention. He was most certainly handsome, in her eyes, his deep purple pelt, and she could of sworn she spotted a hint of mint green popping from underneath his chest. And it wasn't until that moment that she noticed his robotics. Unlike most of those around her, she had seen him for him before spotting his machinery. His leg, half of his face, it glistened lightly, the silver intricately inladed with vibrant magical green colors/markings.

She waited for awhile, although her nerves seemed to vanish all of a sudden upon seeing him, and she waited creature upon creature walk up to the large male, each taking their own turn, each trying their own hand at wooing him. Finally, there seemed to be a pause, no one really walking up, and finally, the little female took the chance to go and tryherself. Slowly, she weaved through the crowd, completely ignoring everyone around her and just making her way to the front, stopping about a foot or two infront of the nearly-glowing male. She bowed her head slightly in respect, her ears perking up towards him, eyes very slowly raising to meet his own, a tiny glimmer of a smile appearing on her face before she began to speak, her voice very soft but melodic, simply gorgeous, lovely to listen to.

"Hello Barabus. May I say, it is trully an honor to meet someone as loyal to his species as yourself. My name is Juliet, named after the famous human in the star-crossed lover tragedy. Great name to live up to right?" There were multiple snickers heard from behind the female daeet, but she simply continued to speak, doing her best to pretend that only she and the warrior were there. "I cannot say that I have been through war, so I cannot imagine the pain you must have gone through, the horrors you must have seen. But I would love to be that shoulder for you, that person that you are willing to just tell your story to, no matter how painful, to just get your feelings out. To be that person that would be there for you no matter what." She took a moment to breath, for her eyes were begining to glisten, and she had barely spoken yet. Several deep breaths later, she was calm enough to speak and continue.

"I may not have been through the same horrors as yourself, But I have been through my own form of torture. I've been, to put it kindly, picked on my entire life, bullied really. Verbally, mentally, physically. Not even my parents were every really on my side, they just told me to suck it up, that the abuse from others would make me stronger. Maybe someday we could compare stories, we could comfort each other in ways that we've never been given comfort before, since you I'm sure were around other males who didn't want to show any form of weakness in front of each other. I was always considered to be too kind, too loving, too compassionate, and that those things made me naive to the reality of life. But I still don't see why they are such bad things. I think I could take care of you, I think we could take care of each other. I do not seek to become your love interest, as I'm sure that is not really what your seeking at the moment, nor could you determine your future mate through one conversation, one speech. I merely seek you companionship, your friendship, and I believe we could form a bond like family, the family that we never had a chance to have or maybe just appreciate. No matter what your decision is, I hope that you have a peaceful, wonderful future." And with that, the little lithe fae gave one more small smile, bowing her head as she backed away, quickly dissolving into the crowd.

Name of the daeet you are wooing:
Barabus

Your username:
SpartanAmethyst

Woo:
Every night was cold to her.

Waking from her nap a ways away from the five stones, Minarasi's white eyes slowly fluttered open, the night breeze gently ruffling her fur.

She longed for companionship, but luck wasn't on her side.

Hearing a solemn voice come from the Five Stones, Minarasi's head raised groggily, her slender ears perking forward with interest.

But the stars still shone softly overhead, seeming to make a path towards her destiny as they pulsated with the energy of the cosmos.

Leaping down from her place among the massive branches of an old tree, she looked up to the spirits that resided in the twinkling lights above. "Where are you leading me?" She whispered to them, but expected no answer. After a moment's hesitation, though she knew that she could always trust the spirits, Minarasi placed one paw in front of the other and began to move forward. At first it was a calm walk, but as the voice became clearer and her interest piqued, her gait moved to a trot, then a run, then a short sprint as she came tearing into the area, slowing to a stop just before she slammed into another suitor.

Standing on her hind legs to get a better view, she saw the male who was speaking. Despite the mechanical parts- to be honest, those only added to his allure in Minarasi's eyes- his fur was a beautiful dark purple, spotted to look like a dragon's scales or something similar. His belly and underjaw was dominated by a beautiful grey-green hue, making the silver of his metal shine and the green markings the metal bore that much more vibrant. Her white eyes widened, suddenly struck by him. Something about this male called to her; maybe it was than unnatural energy that shone in his eyes, or the wisdom he carried on his voice. She wasn't completely sure, but she knew she'd have to get the courage up to talk to him.

Taking a few steps back to listen to the rest of his speech, Minarasi watched him with a careful gaze, scrutinizing his every word and movement, even though she knew it was futile.

"What if he breaks your heart too?"

"What if his words are only for show?"

"He's probably just like the others."

"Probably just like your first."

Shaking her head vigorously to shut the voices in her head up, Minarasi mistakenly let out a vicious growl, causing the three Daeets nearest to her to give her a strange look. She lowered her head and ears apologetically, murmuring a quick "sorry" before backing off even more, taking to the shadows even though she knew her bright pelt easily gave her away. As the older male laid down, Minarasi felt a pang of sorrow for him. She didn't have to be told how much he'd been through; she could see it in every movement he made, hear it in every word his deep voice formed.

His voice...

His voice sounded strangely familiar to her, she realized. No, she had never met this male before, at least not in this life. Maybe in a past one? She was unable to remember any of her past lives, if she'd had any. Tilting one ear back and the other one forward to focus on him, she watched as other suitors approached him, offering him their protection, their homes, while she contemplated her options and her own words. Suddenly there came a pang of guilt; she'd missed his name. In her musings, she'd forgotten to listen for his name.

Barabus....

Looking up to the stars, she gazed at them in wonder. "Barabus?" She asked, eyes darting back and forth between the stars. At that exact moment she watched a shooting star flash across the night sky, and Minarasi smiled. "Barabus," she repeated, loving the way his name rolled off her tongue. Turning her full attention back to him, she gave a gentle sigh. What would she say to him?

"Tell him you're pretty."

She was two colors with a Pisces symbol. No great beauty.

"Tell him about your past!"

This time she scoffed. He wouldn't be impressed.

"Tell him you talk to the stars...?"

This time, Minarasi gave a small laugh. "He'd think I'm crazy," she murmured to herself. No Daeet believed her when she said that she talked to the stars. They all gave her strange looks and promptly moved away from her. Some of her own siblings didn't believe her, either. And they were blood kin!

As she watched the last suitor move away from him, the female Daeet took a deep breath and stood from where she had laid down to wait. Holding her head high and trying to exhibit an air of confidence, she moved closer to where Barabus laid. With each step though, a little more of her confidence dwindled. One step away from the group and Minarasi was now seriously reconsidering this choice. Just as she was about to retreat back into the shadows, she suddenly felt eyes on her, and she looked up to see Barabus staring at her with an inquisitive gaze. Too late to turn back now.

Swallowing her nerves, Minarasi closed the space between them, their eyes locking for a brief moment before she looked away. Why did she always have to be nervous around a male? She was so scared of the rejection that she often made herself look weak. She wasn't as confident as her sisters were. Finally pulling herself together with a deep breath, she looked up to Barabus again, meeting his eyes with a steady gaze.

"Hello Barabus," she said, relieved that her voice didn't crack. "My name is Minarasi, one of the Astrological Litter of the Northern Sect," she greeted him, bowing her head respectfully. "I.... I heard your speech, and I can deny that what you said intrigued me," she said, taking a moment to pause and collect herself.

"I can't promise you adventure, or a lavish home, or all the finer things in life. I can't promise that life will be completely worry free, nor an interesting story about myself," she murmured nervously as she sat in front of him, searching his eyes for some sort of emotion.

"But I can promise you this," she eventually continued. "I can promise you without a hint of uncertainty that I will always be by your side. That I will look after you even when it means giving up something for myself, and I will do my utmost best to get you any and everything you desire, whether it be a drink of water or a golden charm. I can promise I'll always be nearby to listen to your aches and pains, each and every one of your stories and memories, and be there when you need any kind of support, be it physical or mental," she said honestly, her gaze never leaving his.

"To be honest, the moment I first say you giving your speech I knew I wanted to meet you and get to know you. I would love to have that chance, to listen to your memories: the good, the bad, and the ugly," she said. "I'd be more than happy to be the one to care for you as you grow old, and give you the rest you've earned from your long years on the battlefield. I'd actually be honored to be the one to take on such a responsibility. And if you should decide that you want.... more than just a caretaker, that you wanted a romantic partner as well, then I know I'd be more than willing, because I've already fallen in love with you," she whispered.

There was a long silence before she spoke again. "If you decide that you'd like to take me up on my offer, whether it be tomorrow or next year, my offer will still be waiting for you. But if it is tomorrow, then I'll be up in the shade of the trees, waiting on your decision." She murmured. Standing and pressing her nose softly to his forehead, a sign of respect and blessing, she gave a soft smile. "Travels safely Barabus, be it with me or another, wherever the stars may take you," she whispered a goodbye, whether temporary or permanent, and backed away from him, bowing once more as she made her was back up the small hill and safely into the shade of the trees. As the sun began to peak over the horizon, her white eyes rested on Barabus' still form, his fur highlighted by the first golden rays of sunlight and she smiled, trying to keep her mind off of the butterflies in her stomach.

Just a quick explanation:
Everything in a template like this:

Italics, no quotations.

Are the "stars" either talking or performing some sort of action. I designed Mina's personality to where she has a very strong connection to the stars, and can hear them "talk" to her. I was hoping that this would count as her form of "magic". The stars help guide her path and lead her to the next milestone in her life, no matter what that milestone may be.

Anything in a template like this, though:

"Italics, with quotations."

These are the voice inside her head; no, she's not crazy. This is her fear, her anger, all of her negative and positive emotions that appear in her mind when she's stressed, in deep thought, or trying to come to a difficult decision. A lot of time it will appear in the form of a short conversation.
