Name: Verdant [vur-dnt], meaning "green with vegetation; fertile; inexperienced; unsophisticated."
Hobby: Making complex patterns in the sand, either with her body or with things like rocks and twigs. It's one of the only art forms she is able to practice, what with living in a desert. When she has enough flat-sided rocks, she can even make lines of dominoes, of a sort. Windy days are hell for her, as you can imagine.
Gender: female
Why do you want to adopt her: I would like to feature her in my story, which is mainly about CS pets but also has some custom pets and species thrown in. It's basically about an apocalyptic world where monstrous beings quite literally suck the life energy out of all living things; the humans have fled to encampments in the far north, leaving behind their old lives, including most animals (pets, livestock, zoo animals, circus animals, wild things, etc.). So my story is that of the animals left behind; it would be really awesome to have another species to put in with my bunnies, cats, dogs, horses, birds, wolves, foxes, dragons, etc, etc. I portray a lot of different characters from a lot of different species, and it's always nice to exercise my writing muscles and really work at getting the personality, mannerisms, nature, etc. of a new, exciting species down to a "T." I only ever try out for an adoptable when I really feel connected to them; I wouldn't want to get a pet and then never use it, right? So all of the adoptables I try out for I fully plan on using in my story, and I would love to have this pretty girl as a character, too!
I discovered Sand Surfers not too long ago, and I immediately decided I wanted to write about them. I dreamed about their life in the desert, and thought up all the little bits of culture for them. One quite notable piece is that all of their names (or of the sand surfers I own and write about, anyway, which at the moment is zero) will be adjectives, describing some piece of their personality or character. And thus, Verdant would be energetic full of life, and perhaps just a little bit naive (in the sense of not knowing about the "outside world," or any place outside her desert climate). It just seems to fit in with their isolated culture, I think. Many, many civilizations have done and are still doing the same thing, such as tribes in Africa, Native Americans both modern and ancient, and old Asian peoples.
I was hacked. Not going to remake all my groups and such unless I feel like it. That's a lotta work. Don't bother with trades, everything's a mess.
Need:
Will offer
reasonable overpay.
.Note to self:
Reduce idiot level.
