~Goennec~ Round: Closed

[Teeze]

The new lines are lovely. I do actually prefer the last set of lines but there is nothing wrong with these ones and I'm really glad to see more of them being made. And I do have to say that I love the new legs feathers and the eyes are lovely.

Name:
Sair Gypsum
He goes by Sair.

Rank:
Peasant

Why do you want this goennec?:
I've been a Goennec stalker follower for over a year. They're just the cutest species there ever was, and I've always wanted to get my grubby hands on one to call my own and start my herd. <3

One of the first reasons that popped into my mind was his colors; they're so warm and natural, but just so... unf. He's very light-hearted looking, as if anything and everything was something sweet and warm; like a soft kitten snuggled in your lap. His colors make me want to hug puppies. <3 And his eyes contrast with the rest of his earthiness, bringing out something unique, in which he surely is.

Another reason is, quite frankly, the art I want to make of him. I've recently cleaned out all of my old characters and their art, leaving an empty hole right in my heart, just waiting for some extra special creatures to fill it with art and happiness. He would be the spoiled only child for awhile, most likely going to grow up to be a snotty brat... just kidding. ( he really is just the opposite ) My heart literally speeds up thinking about a new character. I'm so lonely. :p

I'd like to sort of form his personalities through the various arts, writing, drawing, ect. He seems like a very down-to-earth character, and I really look forward to doing all sorts of thing with him!

How would you use this character?:
If it was possible I'd spend all day, cuddled up to him, watching TV, playing outside, and just sitting in silence. But alas, I can't, so I'd spoil him with love of various types. c: He'd get artsy presents probably every other hour, along with a special spot as my avatar probably until the Sun itself burns out and kills us all... That's a little dark, sorry. ^^"

Define your Goennec:
Sair's personality isn't very easy to explain, but here I go...

Basic Personality;
Hope; That old silly saying "Don't get your hopes up!", you know? That's almost the opposite of Sair. His hopes are always up. Whether it be meeting someone new, to just going somewhere new. He always thinks it'll be the best time of his life, which usually leads to some disappointment for the over-excited Goe. Yet he can usually deal with it, but sometimes in not so healthy ways... ( more in depression... )

Cheerful; Feeling down? Need a shoulder or someone to rant to? Sair's here! He's always a great listener, and he won't judge you, no matter what. He usually gives great advice if you need that too.

Shy; Even though he's a great Goe to be around, sometimes befriending him is a long, patient process. He trusts too easily for his own good, and has had many disappointments with some people he's gotten close too.

Charisma; Despite his chronic case of shyness, he is an unusually charismatic guy. Most people ( not everyone ) are attracted to him. ( not all romantically )

Depression; Sadly, Sair's depression causes him to have low self-esteem and next to no true friends. he hides it behind a happy facade, and sometimes he truly is happy, but other times, it leaks trough the cracks and he just needs to be alone. As most people with depression put it, "the world is colorless..." He feels like he does not deserve the attention he gets. And if something gets him down, he usually deals with it by bottling it up and saving it for later, whenever's convenient to have a complete mental breakdown.

Generous; Sair would give away everything and anything to make someone happy. Due to his depression, he never, ever wants anyone else to feel like him.

Humble; This one is pretty simple; he doesn't accept many compliments, or he just doesn't realize anything good about himself

Social Anxiety; Sair get's pretty worked up over having to talk to new people. He sweats, he feels light-headed, all the classic symptoms.

Quick Personality;
Here's his personality summed up much shorter.

Sair is a very shy and level-headed Goe. He's very nice and generous once you get to know him, though his trust is hard-earned. He's a modest Goe, almost never acknowledging compliments. He has a little trouble talking to people, or any persons in general, whether they be his friends or not. He's depressed, which may surprise some people, because he's a totally different Goe when he's around people. Unless he really, truly trusts you, you most likely won't know everything he has to say. He's a ball of contradictions, as some people might say.

Hobbies;
One of his favorite pastimes is being in nature. He likes being alone most of the time, and he thinks while he's at it, he might as well be in something beautiful. His favorite place is the woods in fall, when the leaves are changing and the animals are busy, and the air is chilly and crisp.

He also likes writing poetry, usually to try and get out is feelings he feels like he otherwise can't describe out loud.

A poem by Sair Gypsum

The dark of the light,
It's so small; it's slight.
Once nothing to me,
Is now everything I can't see.

My body's gone,
Withered by no sun,
I cannot stop,
I am the only one.

Shivers, silvers,
Blood speckled the garden.
Full of light,
Hidden by cloaks,
Nothing is more than

a bird, a song.
So simple, but rare.
Cherish in life...
While it's still there.

My time, my heart.
I came here at my end,
And now it's the start.

Giving up, slipping away,
Please leave me here,
Please.
Don't.
Stay.

Goennec Pen #: Pen W3

Name: Adina Birch the stubborn goat

Rank: Soldier; through and through

Why do you want this goennec?:
I look at her, and it's like a thunderbolt just hit me in the face. Like, I know exactly who she is and what she likes
and what I want to do with her. I just clicked. :T <3

How would you use this character?:
Roleplay roleplay, drawing, writing, roleplay.

Size: 2'5"
(I didn't even look at her size and I now see she's the largest female there....wow, this is incredibly fitting .-.)

Define your Goennec:
Intro
Adina isn't the most popular goennec in the herd for several reasons. For one, she's absolutely intolerant of children.
Their a nuisance, and quite frankly if it didn't mean the extinction of her kind she would have them banned. This fearsome female isn't one to be questioned unless your of a higher rank, for while her horns may be smaller for a male, she openly advertises the fact that they are indeed at least 2 times sharper. Having been in many spars and fights with females and males alike Adina is well known for the fact she's only ever lost a battle twice, and to the same male. Locking heads with other goennecs is a favoured past-time of her own, and some say that had it not been for the thick skull she'd been gifted she might not have quite the wit she has.

Warfare
She enjoys a good spar, she even may enjoy a legitimate fight, but, she doesn't support full on warfare between herds.
Of course when it happens she's not going to back down and will be yelling at the other herd that they'd better all go hide in the nearest bear cave and hope it can pity them enough to save them from her wrath, but, she finds that bloodshed and the loss of lives shouldn't always have to happen for decisions to be made. Her father had died in a battle during the breeding season, and her mother had passed on during a time of warfare. Both deaths had been hard blows for Adina, but most particularly her mothers death, which had been completely needless.

Love
Blunt and simple, her and eros aren't to be mixed with. Love is a silly, unrealistic concept to her and if you believe otherwise
you must be a foolish child.

Goennec Pen #: W4
Name:
Olivia.
Nicknames:
Olive, Liv, sometimes her name gets mistaken for Oliver.
Rank:
Soldier
Why do you want this goennec?:
First off, I am in love with the colour pink. When used well, it creates such a beautiful design, something very feminine but not necessarily girly. Her design flows well, and her looks tell me a personality. I can see a lot of gorgeous scenes I could draw her in, and I feel like she is something I would really love to draw. I would love to elaborate more on this, but I am more an artist than a writer. Words and ideas float around in my head, but putting them into words is a bit difficult for me to do.
How would you use this character?:
I would love to draw her, and I know of several artists who could make fantastic drawings of her. I spoil a lot of my characters rotten in my sketchbooks. She also looks fun to roleplay with, her personality already tells me a story.
Define your Goennec:
Personality:;
Sweet and understanding are basically the opposite of Olive. She is a driven warrior, and not someone to mess with. A lot of people say not to let your emotions get in the way of your work, however emotion is what drives Olive to be so strong. Liv is not good with social interactions, she'd rather listen then to talk. If you didn't want to hear the painful truth, you wouldn't ask Liv of her opinion. She is always honest, no matter the situation, unless the safety of others depended on it. The one spot where her toughness breaks is around children, however she does try to hide that. Around children she can be playful, or very protective.

omg these new lines <3
I fell in love with this guy, I have to try out for him D:

Goennec Pen #:
W4
Name:
Candice
~~In Greek and Latin this name means Sparkling, Shining, an aspect of how beautiful this Goennec is. And in England, it used to be an ancient hereditary title used by Ethiopian queens, sort of as a symbol of how regal they were, as a form of knowing of their title just by hearing their name.~~
AKA;
Candy
~~In Latin, this nickname is very feminine in meaning, for if you break it down it means Bright, Dazzling, Glowing White. Her entire being seems to let off a white aura, a symbol of upw pure she is.~~
Age:
Nine Years
~~WIP~~
Height:
2'2"
Coloration:
Naturally Colored
Anything Abnormal?:
No Abnormalities
Rank:
Soldier
~~Although she does not really enjoy fighting, she can engage in battle when need be, and is not scared of it. She just prefers not to be a part of it if she can but is not afraid of blood or broken bones or death, oh no. She just would much rather be having fun, playing around and acting silly with her friends, that sort of thing.~~

Why do you want this goennec?:
Honestly, from the first second that I layed my eyes upon her I fell in love. Her colors are very simple yet work perfectly on making her such a beauty. From a pale pink on most of her body to the dark, turnip-ish pink of her mane, she is just stunning. I typically am not the kind of person who is the biggest fan of the color pink, but for this girl, I must say that I feel she would be an exception. It makes her appear very feminine, yet at the same time she does not seem at all weak, like a girly warrior, almost. The way her colors are used to simplistically together is done in such a gorgeous way, and it infact drew me to her in ways that I never thought I would get from such a feminine looking Goennec.
Also, as soon as I spotted her I could just read her like an open book. There was something about her that just told me exactly who she was, and where she has been. Her personality, her past, it was just so clear to me, just by looking at her for a second. Her eyes, though some would just see them as blending into the rest of her pelt due to the colorations, I can see the sweet and energetic female that she is within them. I can see the pain that she has gone through but also the strength that she has, for she is able to never let what is out of her control change who she is and how she acts.

How would you use this character?:
I am not one hundred percent sure whether or not I would use Candice in the roleplay. I think she would be a very fun and most certainly a unique character to roleplay with, but at the same time, she is just so sweet and a bit childish that it may be difficult to roleplay her. Yet it is those same characteristics, as well as a few others, that make me wonder whether or not I should at least try, for her hyper-active nature may annoy others in a way that would be a bit entertaining, to say the least, to see play out. So i am a bit fifty-fifty on whether or not she will be used in roleplays, but keep an eye out, just in case!
I would most certainly order as much artwork of her that I could possibly afford, for she is simply just such a lovely character yet simple enough in pattern that it can be copied in art by others. I do know of several members who are good and often do Goennec art, so I would most certainly get some drawings by them, as well as perhaps some own drawings of my own. I tend to doodle a lot on my papers, and since I will be starting up school this upcoming Monday, I would have the perfect, most beautiful little creature to focus my sketches on.
Lastly, I would most certainly build up both her personality as well as her backstory, adding all of the little details that were difficult to add due to the time restraints put upon me for the judging. She would get far more likes, dislikes, strengths, weaknesses, etc etc, for overall I would be sure to put as much as I possibly could into who she was, why she was that way, what she is like, so on and so forth. Just seeing a character is one thing, but learning about them makes one fall so much more deeply in love.

~Getting To Know Her~
Quote She Lives By -
"In my soul, I am still that small child who did not care about anything else but the beautiful colors of a rainbow."
In a Nutshell -
Candice can easily be described as child in a grown-up's body. She is very hyper and playful and would rather be joking around with the children than doing any sort of actual work.
Digging Deeper -
Hyper - It is highly unlikely that you will meet any other Goennec, no scratch that, any other creature that is as enthusiastic about life as this little female, aside from very young children, as in the age that still survive off of their mother. It is extremely rare to see Candice standing still for very long, hardly able to do so for more than a single minute, and if she has to remain in place, she will most definitely be fidgeting at least some part of her body, most often her ears or her front paws. Aside from that, just about anything can get her excited, whether it be the chance to explore and find a new type of plant or bird, to there being a new Goennec joining her herd. It doesn't take much at all to energize her, just seeing a little butterfly fluttering around can excite her enough to start running around, chasing it, and leaping constantly as she tries to catch it.
Childish - Candy is most certainly just a big kid. She has that huge heart that wants to make everyone around her happy, no matter what the cost, even if that means she has to give up everything that she has, including all of her time for a year. She simply cannot stand it when someone gets angry at her, and typically does one of two things. She will either go around and sulk until she annoys everyone so much with her complete change of attitude that the person who was mad at her apalogizes to HER, or she will follow them everywhere and do anything she can to get them not to 'hate her' anymore. And yes, when someone is angry at her, she imediately jumps to the conclusion that they hate her now and she has to make them love her again.
Playful - This little pink female would like nothing more than to play with the fawns of her herd day in and day out, and often does just that, but finds herself lonely again when they grow up and out of their childhood and into adulthood, something she just cannot seem to do herself. Candice avoids fighting if she can help it, often hiding in the woods when the herd is practicing attacking and self-defense, and just making up some excuse as to why they couldn't find her later on when she returns. She would much rather splashing around in a river, or picking flowers in her teeth and giving them out to her herd-mates, little things like that.

Likes -
Flowers - Candy simply adores flowers, for the fact that they are small and fragile, a bit like her, and yet also come in a wide variety of beautiful colors. She loves exploring and finding new flowers in different shades, colors, shapes, etc that she has not seen before, and even has her own little 'collection' of sorts of dried up flowers that she has found and decided she wants to keep, which range from red roses to white daisies, and everything in between.
Birds - Much like with flowers, she loves the fact that you can find a wide variety of birds, from the simple mockingbird to the complex peacock. Yet at the same time, what she loves even more about them is the fact that they have wings to fly and be free, that they can go anywhere, do anything, and not have to worry about a thing.
Stories - Whether they are tall tales about a giant and a boy who climbed the beanstock, thusly running into him, or true tales of the history of the world, any sort of story has always intrigued Candice. No matter what she is doing, if she hears someone begin to tell a story, she drops everything and bolts over to listen like one of the kids, her ears perked and her eyes locked on the speaker. Stories are something that help widen her imagination, and tend to cause her to daydream as if she were in each and every single one that she has heard.
Spring - This time of year is most definately Candy's favorite of all four, for multiple reasons. She loves how there are so many colors everywhere, whether its in the blossoms in the trees or the flowers on the ground. She adores seeing all of the new baby animals that are born, for every youngster is simply adorable in her oppinion. She also loves the fact that Spring represents a time of rejuvination, of new life, of leaving the hard times and that there are good times to come, that everything will be okay.

Dislikes -
Siv - The Siv is the number one thing that she dislikes for two reasons. One, because it is a time of much fighting, even within a herd, and that is one thing she cannot stand being a part of or hardly even watching happen in front of her, which you must do if the fight is over you. Secondly its because its basically breeding season, and she is just a child herself, in her eyes, so why would a child get pregnant and give birth to a child of its own when it's not even fully grown itself?
Mud/Dirt - It's not really even the fact that mud gets sticky or dirt is hard to get out of one's fur that bothers Candy when it comes to those things, in fact, it's mainly because of something that would make her appear very vain. She hates getting dirty, for her pelt is very dainty and light and any amount of dirt/mud on her just annoys her to no end, she will not rest until it's gone, off of her body, and she's fully pink again.
Thunder - It does not matter whether its pouring rain or not, and it's not even as though its the lightning that goes along with thunder that she's afraid of, no, in fact, she thinks lightning is simply beautiful and loves watching it strike down to the earth. But the sound of loud, rolling thunder just frightens her beyond belief, and oftentimes during a Thunderstorm Candice will be found hiding somewhere, all hunched over, cowering to the ground in absolute fear as she waits for it to just be over.
