What Will You Use This Character For? I will use this lovely girl as a character here on CS, and perhaps also as a character in stories that I write. Her design reminds me a bit of oranges, which are my favorite citrus fruit.
She WILL get a spot in my characters thread if I win her.
Why Do You Want This Character? I like her design very much; I love how she has a light base with speckles of orange on the body and stripes of orange going down her tail. I love how she has orange-tipped paws, and I absolutely ADORE how her crystals match her design perfectly. Her crystals also look a little bit dull, which makes me think that she's older than the other two Crystinalians I tried out for last time. The dark fur at the backs of her legs is very interesting to look at, and it compliments her lighter design nicely.
About PardesName: Pardes
Name Meaning: Orange Grove
Name Origin: Israel (Hebrew)
How I Personally Pronounce Her Name: Par-DAYS
Sounds like "let's par-tay!"Gender: Female
Species and/or specific breed: Crystinalian
Information on this breed/species can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1244225Favorite Songs: Diamond Sky,
Beautiful Ending,
Hallelujah (Light Has Come) and
PerfectZodiac Sign: Aquarius
Birth Date: January 25
Personality:BluntWhen asking questions, Pardes has gotten into the habit of asking everything in a very frank way - which may be seen as offensive to some types of Crysts. Actually, Pardes is harsh in nearly all speech - with age she's mellowed a bit, but in her younger days she was a spitfire.
P!nk wrote:Sometimes I wish I was poetic and subtle. I write very bold and blunt and tell it like it is.
FragileWhile Pardes may have a bark bigger than her bite, she truly is a fragile Crystinalian. Her feelings aren't hurt as easily as one would expect, but she's still more fragile than the average Cryst. She VERY easily gets depressed, and can sometimes be seen moping about, doing nothing productive, when she's feeling down.
Tennessee Williams wrote:I have found it easier to identify with the characters who verge upon hysteria, who were frightened of life, who were desperate to reach out to another person. But these seemingly fragile people are the strong people really.
Confident and ProtectiveWhile Chione is not her biological daughter, Pardes is just as protective of her as she would have been of her biological daughter. She loves her as much as she loves her husband, and is grateful for the opportunity to raise and take care of a Crystinalian who wouldn't have had a family otherwise.
Franklin D. Roosevelt wrote:Confidence... thrives on honesty, on honor, on the sacredness of obligations, on faithful protection and on unselfish performance. Without them it cannot live.
CaringPardes wants nothing more than to see her child grow in love from her and her mate. It saddens her to see Chione so alone and without any friends. She does all she can for Chione for this reason - sometimes sacrificing others opinions of her in favor of her daughter's happiness.
Leo Buscaglia wrote:Too often we underestimate the power of a touch, a smile, a kind word, a listening ear, an honest compliment, or the smallest act of caring, all of which have the potential to turn a life around.
Supportive and SeekingVery rarely does Pardes disagree with her husband - she is very supportive of those she loves. If she does happen to disagree, she tries to disagree in a civilized manner. While naturally chatty, she understands that sometimes her husband needs his space. When this happens, she'll back off and not ask so many questions - but you can be sure she'll find out the answers some way.
Richard O'Brien wrote:I have so many lovely people around me who are supportive, gentle, kind and considerate. I'm so grateful for every day that I'm on the planet and that continues to be so.
Abnormalities: She has a white base. She cannot reproduce naturally, as she was born sterile.
Individual organisms; sterility indicates an absolute and permanent inability to produce offspring, unlike infertility, which may be temporary or indicate only a reduced level of fertility.

What Will You Use This Character For? I will use this beautiful boy as a character here on CS, and perhaps also as a character in stories that I write. His design reminds me a bit of snow blowing in the wind. His design also reminds me of a log cabin, or a mountain, with snow piled atop it.
He WILL get a spot in my characters thread if I win him.
Why Do You Want This Character? I like his design very much; I really love how the white speckles compliment his brown coat, and how his crystals have two different colors incorporated into their design. I love his pale brown eyes - they're beautiful, just like him. I also love the dark brown fur running down the backs of his legs.
About MikahName: Mikah
Name Meaning: Who is Like God?
Name Origin: Israel (Hebrew)
Gender: Male
Species and/or specific breed: Crystinalian
Information on this breed/species can be found here: viewtopic.php?f=58&t=1244225Abnormality: His crystals are a dull brown.
Favorite Songs: Biskit Twins Rhapsody,
Loyalty (SoundOfTheAviators remix),
Diamond Sky and
Love Conquers All (cover by MelodicPony)Zodiac Sign: Libra
Birth Date: September 27
Personality:SupportiveMikah is very supportive of his wife. He often turns down offers to hang out with the males of the pack so he can spend time with his wife - he did this quite often when Pardes went through a period of depression.
Abraham Lincoln wrote: The probability that we may fail in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just.
LovingHe loves taking care of his wife, and often waits on her. At times he resents doing this, as he thinks he's spoiling her - but she often comes along with him on hunting trips to make up for her previous laziness. As she gets older, she helps him less and less, but he doesn't mind taking care of her - he understands old age affects every Crystinalian, and that every cat deals with it differently.
Mother Teresa wrote:Love begins by taking care of the closest ones - the ones at home.
UnderstandingMikah strives to understand every cat he comes in contact with. While this may not be possible for some cats, he tries his hardest every time he meets someone new. He's very friendly, unlike his wife, who tries to stay away from other cats due to her bad past with them. Most cats who come in contact with Mikah don't talk to him, solely because he's affiliated with his wife, who has a bad reputation among the the other Crystinalians in his pack.

Moving with the wind,
We are free falling now.
No choice but to trust this
As we go into the void!
We are standing,
Staring into empty space...
Asking all our questions;
Answers we can’t chase!
Is this all there is?
Is this all there is?
I feel the wave of the change
Reflect on everything we know...
How do you stand
Out from the infinite?
The rate of growth
Is hard to keep up with!
Under a diamond sky,
Everyone wants to shine!
Under a diamond sky,
Everyone wants to shine!
We are all connected
To each other now,
Reaching new dimensions
As we go into the void!
Moments away from our one true destiny,
Time won’t slow down at all,
Like a bird set free!
It will fly to the heights
Of its whole life!
Do not hesitate in flight,
Just reach the sky!
I feel the wave of the change
Reflect on everything we know...
How do you stand
Out from the infinite?
The rate of growth
Is hard to keep up with!
Under a diamond sky,
Everything starts to shine!
