[Charchar2]

You have 3 hours to impress me! I really don't care about coding so don't waste your time! C;

[StarHorse]

"Hello there, I'm Ignatius Flynn, although I'm not a huge fan of my name - Ignatius - so call me Nathan.
StarHorse found a ton of questions on the Plumerian Fanclub, made some questions up, and got more from other places, so here goes!"


Hi, it's me this time, StarHorse! I currently own 3 Plumerians - Arca, Cass[andra], and Jamie. As soon as I saw this heartthrob I couldn't resist. He's lovely!
He does live pretty far away from most Plumies, in his wooden 'peasant house.' For some reason, Nathan has the mindset of a Plumerian from the middle ages, the Renaissance period, knights, castles, damsels, dragons. He talks slightly like someone from that time period. He's under the impression that he is a peasant serving his king, but he wants to be a galliant knight riding a white steed, serving his king, and when he wears clothes they are 'peasant garments,' though he speaks of wearing sparkling silver armor encrusted with gemstones some day.
Ask him questions here!



"My name is Ignatius Flynn. I'm not fond of my first name, so please address me as Nathan. I got it from "Ignatius. Some of my comrades call me Nat to poke fun, but I don't mind them all too much."


"My name, Ignatius, comes from the Latin word 'ignis' for fire. "


"I'm surely a male! At first sight, some may believe I am female, but I am indeed a male Plumerian."


"I believe I am straight, but times change! Alas, this statement may not prove correct someday, only God knows."


"Well, considering being a peasant in times like these, in places like this I am most definitely a Christian, through and through! I do not think the other religions are shameful, and killing people simply because they do not believe in the same God as you? How silly and terrible! They have their customs, you have yours!"


"I work as a peasant farmer, yes! I own cows, chickens, two work horses, pigs, sheep, goats, and a few other stray creatures. I am the worker of a large garden. We grow potatoes, carrots, corn, beans, lettuce, turnips, cabbages, pumpkins, squash, and more here! Feel free to take a look around my farm and garden! *bows low*"


"I'd say I'm a rather brave yet simple peasant farmer. I do like maidens, I enjoy a good night out, but I also like to work and help the community!" [there is none lol]


"Well there was the year where I managed to produce a pumpkin that a young Plumerian would be able to fit inside of! That was quite extraordinary, if I do say so myself."


"Hmm, let me think... there are a few..."
Daijebou, owned by CryCryKun - "This chap is quite confusing! He speaks of things like the internet, wifi, Pokemon, pixels, and other sorts of things in this 'digital' realm of his! My, what's a photo? What is this item called face book? Can you hold it? I cannot comprehend all of this information!"

Valentinia, owned by winklecat - "This lovely lady, oh my! She is a beautiful, fluffy queen from a far-off land, her shining crown embedded with purple gemstones! She is truly amazing!


"Well, to be honest and truthful... One time I was riding an amazing stallion I had lent from someone and I got a tad too giddy. He spooked and threw me off because of my cries of happiness, and then he bolted through a patch of briars and poison plants - his legs were swollen and wounded for weeks! I felt so terrible! But in the end, he was alright, and continued a long, happy career. He's now retired, I hear."


"Well now, let's see. I do enjoy farmwork, but that does get tiresome and I grow weary after hours in the hot sun. What I truly can never get bored of is dreaming of my goal - to become a knight! That and horseback riding - 'The buttocks may grow sore, but my heart yearns for more!'"


"*blushes* Well, I cannot say I was bad! It's been a long while since I've danced. Without a maiden to practise with, I am afraid I've forgotten how!"


"Oh, the wedding of two lovers is a merry time! I believe that giving them animals, food, and things to help around the house is the best!"


"What is this Disney Channel you speak of? Is it a newly discovered body of water? Why are there musicals there?"


"YES! My ultimate life goal is to become a knight, a gallant servant of the king, with shining silver armor encrusted with gemstones - rubies, opals, emeralds, diamonds even! I'd love to have a bright white steed to gallop into battle on, an amazing, ancient sword, one that has slayed dozens in it's time, and a palace to myself for being head knight! I'd love if fair maidens came calling for me, waving their handkerchiefs and blowing kisses! Oh, the dreams I have dreamt! The wonders I wish for!"


"Oh dear me! I do believe that you are referring to musical terms. However, I am not skilled or knowledgeable about music except for a small wooden flute, so I cannot answer the question!"


"Unfortunately, yes. I have done many a thing that I have regretted. Spooking that stallion was one of them. Another time I forgot to set out rabbit traps, it escaped me for nearly a week before I realized why all my plants had been torn to shreds and eaten! Then there was the time I bought a few roosters, thinking 'what could go wrong if I put them all in the same coop?' Well, I'll tell you! They fought each other, it was gruesome, revolting! I could not go in to break it up since they were squabbling too harshly - I could do nothing but watch on from behind the gate as they savagely fought! In the end, I lost one of them, the other gave up, and, in his desperation, managed to flap out of the coop, never to be seen again. That left the last rooster to be king of the chicken coop - but he had taken the throne in such a horrible manner! All because I made the mistake of putting three males in with females!"


"I would probably be the loving father and husband, wealthy knight to support my lovely family!"


"Well, I'm not around sweets all that often, so I may take a bit of candy to fill my needs... I would leave them a dozen eggs in exchange, however, I am not a thief! Then I would figure a way out if not done so already."


"My voice? Well, I've got what some call a 'knight's accent,' indeed! It's not very deep but not very high, sort of in the middle. It's slightly rough from all these years of hard work, though not the grainy type from when someone has smoked tobacco their entire life!"


"Well, I do not believe that any of these are myths! I believe in dragons, though some scoff at the very thought. I believe in elves, pixies, faeries, unicorns, trolls, demons, and more!"


"I have to say my favorite season is autumn, specifically early autumn! The weather and colors of nature are so nice. This is also the time for picking from the garden, getting the fruits of your labor, literally!"


"Brave, gallant, poor, humble, quiet, imaginative, yearning, loving, hardworking."


"I do have my leaf crown! It alternates between brown and green leaves, but may be different depending on season, leaf type, and leaf colour. A young Plumerian made me one some time back and taught me how to make them, and since then I enjoy making new ones every time the current one gets old and begins to rot!"


"As well as my leaf crown, I do have a... well... *blushes* I have a fine sword, handcrafted by an excellent blacksmith, that came into my possession because a trader was traveling around these lands and I bought it. It is fine, I would trade it for no other. I had to trade two cows, three chickens, and a pig for it, being the excellent blade it is, but it was well worth it. I forgot to ask it's real name, which is also a regret of mine, but I have decided to call it 'Dreambounder' since it's the first item I have to begin to become a knight. I keep it safe, secret, and hidden, and every day I take it out and practice when noone is looking."


"Of course I would! What decent knight would not?"


"I would work hard and achieve my goal! I would not trust a wizard, a witch, any magic potions, I would not thieve or be dishonorable! I would be gallant and worthy of knighthood, working my way up to the top!"


"I wake up with the sun! Although I would prefer the life of a knight, a farmer I am for now, and a dedicated one at that! I must tend to the animals and garden, tidy the house and cook! I usually go to bed with the sun, as well, though things differ under different circumstances."



"Thank for for the interview! I must get going now, the chickens need fed and the garden needs weeding - plus my knighthood practice cannot wait! Have a very fine day indeed!"



Good luck to everyone who is trying out for this magnificent Plumerian! And thank you, Char, for designing him/her C:
If any of these images don't work, please please tell me! I have a list of all the questions in text if you want to know what they say!

Personality;;
Brave | Smart | Selfish

Brave

As it says it in his own name, Aki is a very brave type. He is always willing to face his fears or even conquer them! Although he can seem shy and timid i assure you he isn't for scared isn't in his vocabulary! Many see him as a risk taker (which he kinda is one) But thats only because he's brave enough to take those risks!

Smart

YES! Aki is normally an A student with a high vocabulary! No Plumies really knows where it came from but DANG! He is very smart, in any subject or learning task he will breeze right through! If he does get a B its mostly likely because he was to lazy to do his morning class work or late HW!

Selfish

Dang! This little boy is anything but sharing although he does kinda care sometimes ! He mostly keeps what is his and doesn't let anyone else have it, not at all! He can be sort of annoying at this point ,but i assure you, HE WILL NEVER SHARE !

History

A Crown of a Emperor

Aki poses a beautiful leaf crown that is very similar to Caesars' , the emperor of Rome. Although Akis' name is German and Japanese his origins differ. His mother was from Germany while his father was from Japan, but he was born in Rome. Since Aki is very smart he decided to study the origins of Rome. Caesar was one of the first figues he started to study about. As he read nose deep into books he decided he really liked Rome's history, so he decided to handcraft a leaf crown that represents that or Caesars crown. Aki referred to himself as the emperor of studying for a while until he realized it was kinda dumb! But he still keep the crown for loosing that memory was to hard to bare ,so he keep the handcrafted crown along with the memories it brings to him.

Family Fun or despair?

Kennedy is a sweet, childish boy who loves to be with others,
friends and strangers alike. He loves to make people happy, and tends to
value the wishes of others over his own. He's quite naive and oblivious to
things, and tends to speak his mind, leading to many awkward situations
involving literally taken sarcastic remarks and the explanation of more
adult topics. It's hard not to love an adorable ball of fluff who enjoys making
flower crowns and making others happy.

other ;;
I have to say, I absolutely love this design, and the character I have in my head is already so vivid. I've already fallen in love with Kennedy, and I only barely scraped the surface with what I wrote (I had about ten minutes left to write after I finished the art xD).
I'm sure you'll make the right choice and give this babe the right home <3 If I did win him, I'd make sure to spoil him and roleplay him all the time; it'd also be a great chance to develop my own character skills as well as his image. Thank you so much for giving me this chance <3

[Brûlée]

Username: Brûlée, owner of one plume, Alicia. I'd love to make this one my second!

~

Full name: Bryant Charles Clark.

Gender: Male

Age: 25, but seems older. Is about as cliche of a dad as you can be without children.

Profession: Nurse. Despite the fact it's typically perceived as a female line of work, he honestly doesn't care. He has an immense love for medicine and nursing, and being able to help people warms his heart. Immense love barely describes it, his devotion to his work is incredible. His nose is often in a medical journal, trying to get the latest news. It's almost not like work to him, it's just doing what he loves. This may give the illusion of perfection and no stress, which isn't true. Although Bryant is extremely skilled and passionate, the long hours aren't easy. But in the end, deciding to be a nurse is one of the few things he has no regrets about.

~

Basic personality:

Caring • Corny • Talkative • Excitable • Foodie • Regretful • Strong-willed

A bit more in-depth:

Caring.
Always one to ask what's wrong, and to try and help out. It's a part of his job, although he goes beyond the call of duty. Without a doubt a good samaritan, even if his sense of humor may not match. Which leads me to the next trait...

Corny.
Despite being single and childless, his comedy embodies the idea of a 'dad joke.' Medical ones are his speciality, but he isn't limited to just that. He became this way after his third year of college.

Talkative.
He's always ready to trike up a conversation, especially about something he likes. The things Bryant are passionate about, he's really passionate about. And he'll babble on about them forever.

Excitable.
Even the slightest thing can make him happy. Leaves are changing colors? This is most certainly worth a vacation from work to go look at them. New Oreo flavor out? Then obviously he needs to set aside time in his day to review them. A young patient does something cute? His entire day is made. The little joys help him get through the long night shifts, and make his life have a purpose.

Foodie.
A lover of fine food, from a steak dinner to potato chips. Bryant loves to review food, although never to anybody in particular. Oreos are a favorite of his, since he's a big fan of the range of flavors. More then food however, he holds service to a very high standard. The drinks must come before the appetizer, it drives him mad if it's done otherwise.

Regretful.
He has trouble letting the past be the past, and mourns constantly over missed opportunities. By far his biggest regret is not pursuing romance earlier. While he was engrossed in learning his trade, all of his friends were getting married. He always had wanted a girlfriend, but put it off, saying there was time for it later. There's a japanese saying called "christmas cake", referring to woman over 25 who aren't married. It's origin is that christmas cakes are 'unsold after the 25th.' Although it's not common anymore, and he's not even a woman, he still fears it will happen to him.

Strong-willed.
It's very hard to change his opinions, even if they have major faults in them. If he's decided he'll be making a table tonight, then that table will be made. Even if it's clear that he shouldn't eat that tenth Oreo, Bryant will have his tenth Oreo. He completely realizes his fault, but still struggles to change it. Whenever somebody brings up something he should change, he starts to get defensive.

~

What's up with the crown?
Every season Bryant will go out and gather some leaves, and craft them into a crown. It's something he's done ever since college, where the campus was surrounded by trees. To him, it's a nifty accessory, and a great chance for puns. But it symbolizes something deeper for him, the need to change. Every time he makes a new crown he tries to change and old opinion, trying to turn over a new leaf if you will. Even when others mock him for the feminine look to it, it's still a very important item for him. Although when he's in at work he doesn't wear it, for medical reasons.

Other accessories.
He also has a cream satchel he carries with him. Some contents include:

A journal of puns/dad jokes. Leather, and about the size of two of his paws. More on that later.

A small first aid kit. With basics such as bandaids and gauze.

Crossword puzzles. To keep him entertained while he's waiting.

Cellphone. For obvious reasons.

~

Hobbies:
When he's not consumed with with nursing, Bryant has a array of hobbies he enjoys.

Woodworking.
Another cliche dad trait of his. His father excelled at the craft, and handed down some of his skills to Bryant. Although he hasn't mastered the art, he is pretty good. However, this has a slight conflict with the next hobby...

Leaf peeping.
Leaf peeping is an informal term for people who travel to watch the autumn leaves. Though he despises the name, he is captivated by the activity. His favorite shades are the orange ones, with a bit of bias of course. Though sometimes he feels wrong for doing it, as he loves watching them so much, yet cuts them down to make furniture.

Word searches.
Bryant is an addict for word searches, picking them up whenever he can. After getting home from work, he enjoys unwinding on his porch with a good word search. Not to be confused with crossword puzzles, which he loathes.

~

Dad jokes.
Bryant keeps a journal of dad jokes and puns with him at all times, and will look at them whenever he is blue. A few excerpts, typed out on a computer for your ease of reading.

Blood of the working man.
A pun bomb! "Coffee really eases me from the daily grind. However, todays coffee tasted like mud! It was ground a few minutes ago. However, somebody stole it from me, they mugged me! That caused a latte problems. He spilled it all over his neck, boy, he got hot under the collar! I felt like I was bean lucky there, justice was served!"

I'm Bryant!
When somebody says "I'm blank{hungry, sleepy, etc.} Response: "Hi Blank, I'm Bryant!"

Sticky Situation.
What's the different between a piano, a tuna, and a pot of glue? [what?] You can tuna piano, but you can't piano a tuna. [what about the glue?] I knew you'd get stuck there.

Ants in my pants.
When talking about ants, use an old pun bomb of: " What do you call an ant who's a villain? An ANTihero! If he is really arrogANT, he deserves it. Even if he was let from his job. After all, with the tough economy, many bosses have had to fire ants. "

Apples to oranges.
Another good ol' pun bomb! "The doctors I work with have been getting run out of work! Kids and their apple phones are just keeping them away! And do you know what you call the old ones? Granny smiths! I think I realized the core of the problem: all of these apple puns!"

~

Home sweet home.

His house is in a suburb, located a stones throw from the hospital. A great size for one person, but not so good for having guests. Exterior is a nice grey stone, with a lovely front yard. A patio with rocking chairs makes for great curb appeal. Two bedrooms, 1 and a half bathrooms.

The interior doesn't have one decorating style, and somehow flows together in a weird way. Living room has a flat-screen tv and a sofa, with a nice home-made coffee table. Scattered on the table are medical journals and word searches. The kitchen is a major negative, with outdated appliances and unattractive tile. Combined with the small space, it's no wonder he eats out so often. However, the master bedroom makes up for it, with gorgeous mocha walls and a plush carpet. The double matress isn't perfect in size, but the memory foam redeems the size. The master bathroom is nice, but being the only location for a shower in the household is less then ideal.

In the backyard we have a great potential, but poor execution. The abundance of trees is charming, but crowding as well. A woodwork shack was crammed in there, ruining the space.

Overall, a fairly good home. However, if the owner plans on expanding his family, he'll need to seek an upgrade.

~

Stories:

Turning over a new leaf.
[Setting: College dorms. ]

Bryant looked out the window, gazing at the autumn leaves. The warm colors, with the occasional green mixed in. These trees had plenty of reds in them, the least common color. But today the leaves weren't his concern.

He felt like he was living a sin, defying himself. He was majoring in nursing, a woman's major. Or, it wasn't technically one, since he as clearly a male. But throughout his life, every nurse who cared for him was a girl. And all of the doctors were males. It was as simple as that, no questions asked. But doctor and nurse aren't just gendered names for the same thing, they're two different jobs. And he wanted to be a nurse. That should have been satisfying for him, but it wasn't. He was stubborn with his opinions, and it would be the death of him. Then suddenly, from out of nowhere, an idea came. An idea strange, but fulfilling. He ran outside, towards the trees.

He quickly grabbed leaves, all different colors. And then he carefully made them into a crown of leaves, and proudly wore it upon his head. "It is okay for a guy to be a nurse. It is okay for a guy to be a nurse." Bryant repeated, until it was stuck in his head. For he would turn over a new leaf. A crown such as the one upon his head is typically a feminine thing, just like nursing. "But it's completely okay to wear one. Just as it is for a guy to be a nurse." He thought, oddly proud of his metaphors. Looking up at the trees again, he felt oddly like a red leaf. Though they were scarce in his home town, they were abundant here. Surely male nurses aren't to uncommon. They just weren't where he was from. And that's completely fine.


Out of the woods.
[Setting: His house.]

It was a fine afternoon, with a chilly autumn breeze. Bryant sat in his rocking chair, working on a word-search. As a icy wind blew on his shoulder, he chuckled. "Hey, don't give me the cold shoulder!" His laughter increased, thinking himself quite the comedian. His giggling stopped when he heard pawsteps.

"Mr. Clark! We need you're help, we're in a lot of trouble." Said a teenager, who he seemed to vaguely remember. There was another teenager beside him, but he was new to him.

"Why hello there in a lot of trouble! It seems you already know my name, how can I help you?" He burst out into laughter again, as the two boys exchanged looks. Letting out a sigh, the other one responded.

"We're doing wood-work for an elective, and we've heard you're good at it. Could you please help us? We need to present our work soon, and..."

"Hmm, that wood be great!" Bryant said, leaving a long pause after 'wood.' "Follow me!" They did, as the orange plumerian laughed at his jokes. The space was very crowded, with three bodies in there.

"Is this safe? With all of the sharp blades and all......" The first boy questioned.

"You're barking up the wrong tree if that's your concern! Knock on wood, I've done this for years and haven't gotten hurt a single time!" By now he was in stitches, doubled over with laughter.

"Is this guys respond to everything puns...?" The second whispered, looking at the strange spectacle.

Tidbits:

Handwriting. Although he isn't a doctor, he has a case of doctors handwriting [which is a term for bad handwriting]. It takes a lot of effort to read it, and most often isn't worth the effort. Even he has trouble decoding it. A main reason of why he hates crossword puzzles, since they require you to right out words

Supertaster. Supertasters are people whom "experiences the sense of taste with far greater intensity than average." according to wikipedia. He is one of them, which may be why he loves food so much!

Oreos. As I've referred to a few times during this form, one of his favorite foods are Oreos! He doesn't love them quite as much as a few other plumerians, *cough*milk*cough*, but is still an avid fan. His favorite flavor is the ever popular birthday cake Oreos.

Mulan. As stated above, his favorite movie is mulan. The reason for this is because it's about a girl who defies gender roles. It was a great source of inspiration for him during his first year of college, and he still treasures it.

Winter. Another thing I said it the favorites/least favorites list is that his least favorite season is Winter. While he doesn't hate any of the seasons, if he had to choose it would indeed by winter. His main reason is that more people get sick during that time, not because of the chilly weather.

Bad to the bone. When he was a teenager, he briefly went through a punk-rock phase. However, he was taking medical electives at the time, and this period happened to be when they were learning about the skeleton. The result? He refers to that time as when he was bad to the bone.


A bit of an explanation:

Why no art?
With the short time period for this one, I decided I'd rather spend my time writing about him then drawing him.

And if I were so lucky as to win him, I do have plans for him! Not only would I answer many questions on the FC, with horrible AMAZING puns mixed in, I'd also try and do more with his plot point of romance. Unlike my first plumerian [Alicia], whom I decided to work in the new love letter system for her romance [which was more love at first site in general], Bryant will have to go through a lot before I let him find love. Despite the fact I love Alicia's relationship, and that he'd most certainly want a love at first site thing, I find it would be more believable to have him struggle to find love. Eventually, though, I hope for him to have kids, so his dad side will get used! And they will be subjected to many horrible puns.

Thank you for reading this! Best of luck to everybody! <3

tree of life - written by Cheescake
[ note - she wrote this for me as a poem ]
----------
I am but a leaf on the tree of life,
who sits in the midst of them all,
But a wilted leaf, a tattered one,
who's shriveling, weak, and small.
While others may be firm,
growing proudly with the tree,
that's not the road I take,
My connections are tiny,
and never long-lasting,
fluttering down with a single shake.
Too fragile and terrible, never enough,
but here is the positive part:
I don't care for love - it's as easy as that,
for its greed is too much for my heart.
It rips you and tears you, it always compares
you to others much better than you,
A hopeless illusion to cause such confusion
on what you have and who you should choose.
Full of wonder and hope? No, I'd rather
not. My opinion's without a doubt: When
loves takes its vengeance upon the people,
well, I choose the lonely route.

why I want her ;
eek, this plumie is absolutely adorable. <3
autumn is my favourite season, and I always am incredibly excited when it comes around.
other than that, I immediately fell in love with her design - it was so intricate and complex;
it'll be such a fun challenge to draw and whatnot. qvq <3 I love how bold and clear her design
is, as well as that super adorable flower crown of hers. I'm not going to make this too long,
but I hope you enjoy my form! she's a beauty. <3

why I tried out & what I'll do with her -
At first, I was actually uncertain. She seemed like she'd be really hard to get as so many people seemed so interested in her, yet I felt like if I put enough effort into her, I could stand a chance. I'm honestly glad I tried out for her in the end.

However, as to why I actually tried out for her.. is a much larger story. Often, all plumerians are gorgeous, and I would try out for every single one if I could. Though, as much as it's tempting, I'm fairly picky with characters. I develop them as I make the form, so it usually requires a long competition for me to fully love a character. However, this was different. I developed her in such a short time and I'm incredibly proud of what I have done with her. I love how simple, yet complex, the design is, and even with her feathers and leaf crown, Eleia is simply a gorgeous character.

I would make her a character page on charahub, or even a website. I would order art of her constantly, write about her constantly. I would roleplay with her - romantic or not - and I would introduce her to as many plumerians as I can, despite how introverted she is. As I'm an active member of many communities, I participate in multiple roleplays and log onto the fanclubs daily, so I'm known to be active. I'm very used to taking care of characters, and I promise I won't let her sit around. I don't know if you've seen me around, but I do post on the fanclub very actively and participate in as many streams as I can.

I guess I can say I tried for Eleia because she seemed to have all these ideas surrounding her - that I just had to use for her - and she's absolutely gorgeous as a character.

Thank you, Charchar2, for this wonderful opportunity, and good luck everyone! Your forms were absolutely great.

personality [ kind - disloyal - fragile - detached - pessimistic - appreciative of beauty - self-hating - elective mute - independent ]

Eleia, despite her looks, is a very fragile plumerian whose heart is touched by many things. She is fragile, however, crumbling underfoot if you put too much pressure on her. Despite this large, unfortunate trait, she tends to actually dwell on it, and not try to make it for the better by attempting to be more confident with herself. Because of this fragile attribute, Eleia quickly changes her opinions about many things and prefers not to say them at all, in due fear of accidentally harming someone because of her opinionated nature. She dislikes herself very much, criticizing herself quite often due to this. Unlike many people, Eleia does not actually use her pessimistic nature to attempt and strive her best at things. In fact, she does nearly the opposite, succumbing to virtually anything that comes in her way.

However, these are only a small portion of what sums up herself. These are only described to be negative traits, according to others. Who really is Eleia, despite that anxious and detached appearance?

A worrier? No. In fact, let's call her nearly what you can consider the opposite of that - disloyal and detached. Despite being a kind, gentle plumerian, Eleia is a very detached one too. She rarely makes strong bonded friendships in fear of letting others down, once again being very insecure of herself and actions. Everyone is sure Eleia would make such a kind, caring plumerian to have a friend as - but no, they're quite wrong. Despite being quite nice overall, Eleia cannot simply make friends as well as she'd seem. This, however, does not make her antisocial or incredibly awkward. She is indeed an introvert out of the 3 other main philosophies, but she is not shy at all. Often when being around others for long periods of time, she needs to back away and 'recharge' for a few hours by herself. The difference for Eleia is the fact that she is not lonely -- she is merely alone. Is she in search of friends? Most likely not.

This also ties in with another attribute of Eleia's. It's not exactly positive, not negative either - perhaps said to be neutral - and that is independent. Unlike many sharing this trait, this is not a result of her confidence as she lacks it. It's in fact a result of what Eleia herself calls hatred. Hatred for others? Hatred for herself? No one really is sure why, but Eleia knows. The reason as to why she's so independent lies in what she hates most - which is love. Love is selfish, love is greedy, she claims - stealing those away into a boundless, hopeless illusion of what is yours and what isn't, and suddenly taken away as if it were never to be. She thinks it's an absolute horrid way of spending your time, and thinks it's much better to be a happy individual than to be in an unhappy relationship.

Eleia may not seem like it, however she is also very appreciative. Of what, you may ask? It's simply two words - inner beauty. This is something that Eleia appreciates most, and it's not just a simple 'real beauty is on the inside'-type thing. It's in fact what deeply lies in your heart - your intentions, your life purpose. How are you to be described by others? How do you perceive life itself? Deep-rooted questions with so many answers: that is what Eleia considers to be true beauty. For example, this also can be mentioned with her decision to be an elective mute due to anxiety. She does not talk in most social occasions, despite having the ability to do so (as in, she is not an actual mute as it is her decision not to speak).

To sum up Eleia, she is simply fragile. A leaf who can bear the fall of falling off a branch, however not endure the pressure of having being stepped on by another. Someone who can endure much more than just being blown in the wind, still not being able to fully endure pressure. This is Eleia.

goals in life
- to become a professional bark painter
what's a bark painter, you ask?
basically, it's just how it sounds! people paint strips of bark with various intricate designs using very bold, permanent paint,
and it usually ends up like this. she doesn't do it to actual trees, as you can see, only strips of bark which have either fallen off or found.
- to continue to get better at tea dyeing
tea dyeing is a relatively simple DIY which gives the illusion of a garment having an old, antique look. basically, you take a very large pot - one which you'd use for something like steaming - and boil water. then you add dark tea, and steep it for however long you want it. the darker you want it, the longer you'd have to leave it in for! basically, eleia loves the look of it, and despite not being able to wear human clothes, she loves to do this with gloves.

thank you so much! <3

characteristics -- -

patience - actually, quite a lot it. this is one of eleia's strongest
points - she's quite patient, and actually fears of annoying anyone
by accident by pressuring them to get things done.

temperance - she cannot deal with a lot of pressure, however
she does not actually physically get mad at anyone if they pressure
her too much.

prudence - eleia has pretty good judgment, although she is
often biased with things so she does not do good justice.

benevolence - eleia is very detached and disloyal, which also
makes her very selfish to herself and herself only. so this trait in
her is very minimal, and it's a rare occurrence she is ever charitable.

emotional and mental stability - very, very low. as mentioned
before, eleia has no stability to pressure whatsoever and will crumble
if put under too much.

egoism - similar to the above answer, it's very low. eleia does
not have any confidence in herself whatsoever, believing she will fail
at many things if not everything. in life, she definitely needs a friend
that will stay there to support her - if you can manage to become her
friend at all.

wisdom - compared to many others, she has quite a bit of it
however it's hidden by her insecurities. eleia herself doesn't believe
she doesn't have any wisdom at all - but this is untrue, and she does
actually have quite a bit of it.

- - -questionnaire - - -
note - as she normally does not speak [elective mute], imagine as this is written down on a piece of paper.

1. What is the thing that has frightened you most? Do you think there is anything out there that's scarier than that? What do you think that would be?
The thing that has most frightened me most..? Well, I suppose it'd be probably almost drowning. I-I've hated water ever since. I don't suppose there's anything scarier than it besides death.

2. Has anyone or anything you've ever cared about died? How did you feel about it? What happened?
Yes, quite. My aunt and I were very close - she was often the one who had been closest to me, even including my parents. I suppose it was of natural causes.

3. What was the worst injury you've ever received? How did it happen?
I was attempting to climb a tree, and fell a few feet. I fractured a few ribs and sprained my leg, however I've recovered.

4. How ticklish are you? Where are you ticklish?
I'm actually quite ticklish. . but please don't try it. I suppose everywhere?

5. What is your current long term goal?
To become who I want to be. I don't care about a dream job or whatnot, or future plans. . I just want to live knowing I lived it well.

6. What is your current short term goal?
To get better at tea dyeing. I'm not that good at it currently, but I enjoy it very much.

7. Do you have any bad habits? If so, what are they, and do you plan to get rid of them?
Yes, I do. I tend to flick my tail when I'm nervous an absurd amount, and I tend to shake whenever I'm embarrassed.

8. If you were a mundane person, what would you do with your life? What occupation would you want, and how would you spend all your time?
I don't know. Perhaps be a musician? I would spend all my time in the cottage my aunt owned, of course.

9. What time period do you wish you had lived in? Why? (Looking at this as an attempt to change history doesn't count.) What appeals to you about this era?
Probably the Victorian Era. I love everything about it, especially the furniture and attire.

10. How private of a person are you? Why?
Quite private. I'm a closed book if anything.

11. If you were to gain an obscenely large sum of money (via an inhertiance, a lawsuit, a lottery, or anything else) what would you do with it?
I don't know. Probably keep it in savings or buy a cottage off in the woods similar to my aunt and uncle.

12. What would you wish for if you found a genie?
To get rid of all my insecurities.

13. What do you do when you are bored?
Nothing. I rather enjoy the boredom than being way too busy.

14. What is the most frightening potential handicap or disfigurement you can conceive of? What makes it so frightening?
Probably not being able to walk. Then I wouldn't be able to go anywhere without a wheelchair, and it'd be a pain doing all sorts of things.

15. If you were stranded on an island with only being able to bring 3 things, what would they be?
Hmm, probably my set of paint brushes and paint, as well as my guinea pig Rylie.

how does she react to others? -- as mentioned subtly before, Eleia is an introvert, but in no way is she a loner. despite not preferring to talk, she loves to use emotions rather than words. actions speak louder than words, correct? this same principle applies for Eleia. she uses simple emotions like smiling, frowning, neutral expressions, etc, and she makes an effort to make them seemingly very emphasized so then nobody misinterprets her. she's constantly worried someone will, but she's quite firm on not speaking despite it being quite hard in the case of which someone asks her a question when she's off guard.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
