I'm trying out for Kiamara 2

------SHE WHO WISHES TO TAME-

-------YOU MAY CALL ME NORN-
--------------THE NORN-
--A group of female deities of Norse mythology,
who were said to weave the fates of gods and men.

--------------------
I'm Toboe, owner of two kias, Wendy and Owari.
-I'm hoping to be the owner of Kiamara 500.2.

-INSIDE HER SOUL-

-QUIET-
Norn is very introverted, and doesn't often find herself speaking above a normal speaking tone when she speaks at all. When she does choose to talk, Norn speaks with wisdom and compassion but it's usually so quiet that she has to repeat herself several times for everyone to hear her, especially her louder siblings

-LOYAL-
As she doesn't have many she calls friends, or even companions, Norn is exceedingly loyal to those who do have her trust, and once you have her trust it is difficult to break. There are few things Norn won't do for those she loves, especially if they are hurt or in danger. Protecting her family and friends are one of the only ways to break her out of her nervous and easily frightened state.

-TIMID-
Norn has never been used to being a singular entity ever since she split from her siblings. Not having the kinship she had as a merged being, she feels somewhat lost and scared in the world. Many of the worlds experiences cause her fear or anxiety and she is quick to be frightened and difficult to console when she panics.

-DEPENDENT-
As stated before, Norn is uncomfortable with facing the world alone after being merged with her siblings for so long. She feels that she cannot face the dangers and complexities of life alone, and heavily depends on others to lead her along the right path. However, she also feels that since she is so different from the kias born into the world after her, that she feels she cannot rely on them for help with her troubles, and so her siblings usually bear the brunt of this dependency.

-SPIRITUAL-
Norn is dearly grateful to Talonzi and Meili for creating her and her siblings, and giving them the opportunity to spread kindness and light to the world, even if she feels daunted by the task, and as such holds a close emotional connection to the spiritual world. She practices many small rituals throughout her daily life, and when scared or anxious she has been known to meditate. She will also occasionally look to her spiritual connections for advice when she hits a wall.

-DISTANT-
As a split piece of a once merged being, Norn feels like she is incomplete and empty as her own Kia, and tends to distance herself from the rest of the world due to this.

-KNOW MY STORY-
[Norn has just become her own person, and everything is more than a little confusing.
How will she cope being her own entity in a world that she isn't ready for?]

It was bright. Almost blindingly bright. And it hurt, although just for a moment.
Afterwards I felt very light, as if there had been so many burdens relieved from my shoulders.

It hurt more when I was fighting with them. We refused to agree on what to do, and we grew hungry, and thirsty, and tired. But the bickering wouldn't stop, and our shared body wouldn't move. The starvation and thirst were so great I thought we were all going to perish at that point. But then the light hit me, and my whole body felt like it was burning and freezing at the same time, like I was being bombarded by dry ice.

It took us all a while to awaken. I was the last one to open her eyes, and it was so bright my eyes slammed shut after only a moment, but eventually I got used to the concentrated sunlight. Before, the light was divided between all our vision, but now we each had to bear it alone, and I'm not sure about my siblings, but I was sensitive to it. The color of the grass was intense, and the color of my sibling's fur even more so.

Wait.....my siblings? Grass? Where were we? It didn't make sense. It was then that Mother spoke, and we all remembered what had happened to us

"You are now the ones who decide your own futures. Make with it the best that you can, my sweet children"

Decide our own futures...? I didn't understand. There was never a time where I wasn't attached to my siblings by our tails. We were on our own now? It was then I noticed that our separate bodies weren't the only thing that was different. What happened my siblings tails? They were all so short and puffy, I was confused. Were tails meant to be so stubby? I turned around and around a few times, stumbling a bit, as my new legs were unused to walking, but when I fell I could see it clearly then.

My tail was docked too, just as I had feared.

This was all too much. I was frightened, and confused, and cold. I could hear my other siblings huddled together, muttering among themselves what they were to do now.

"She said we were to decide for ourselves where our paths would lead....does that mean we should split up?"
"I don't know, I'm not sure if I'm ready to venture out just yet"
"My tail! Oh gracious where has my gorgeous tail gone?!"
"Calm down, please, we need to settle down and think clearly!"

I couldn't bring myself to join them. My brain was running on overdrive and my legs shook. I needed to get away from here.
And so....I ran.



I ran far away from my siblings, away from the open plains and into the dark, musty smelling woods. My senses were being bombarded from every angle and everything seemed to be blending together, but I just couldn't stop running, my legs wouldn't listen. It didn't take long before I slammed into a tree.

I whimpered in distress and rubbed my nose. If there was anything I was sure of, it was that I was hopelessly lost now. There was no way I would be able to get back to the others myself. I wailed in despair, hoping that one of them would hear me and come to my rescue but to no avail

From here, I was alone.

But just as I had lost all hope, a little white butterfly fluttered past, catching my attention. What was such a beautiful little creature doing in such a dank, terrible forest? I knew it had to be a sign. Following the butterfly was what saved me. It led me out of the woods as if it knew I was lost, and when I was outside I caught just the slightest scent of my family. With a newfound hope in my heart...



I ran.

-THE OTHER PARTS OF ME-

SIBLING 1 - Wary but accepting
She and her first sibling have a relationship that is strained but just slightly. Norn finds herself worried about how they will react when she speaks to them, and will stumble over her thoughts and her words when in their presence. She feels a bit like they are the leader of the five, and feels pressured to try and live up to their expectations of her. She may turn to them if she needs advice, but she is more likely to ask a sibling she feels more comfortable and relaxed around if they are available.

SIBLING 3 - A kindred spirit
Norn feels a tight bond with her 3rd sibling. They were the one sibling she was really trusting of after the initial split. She was afraid and lost in a world far too big for her britches and they made her feel like she could manage on her own without smothering her at the same time. Overall, her third sibling is the one Norn is the closest to, and the one she would most likely turn to if she were unsure about a situation

SIBLING 4 - Broken trust
Right from the beginning, Norn's 4th sibling was a kia that Norn felt she couldn't face alone, and her fears have proven themselves warranted. She and her 4th sibling have very differing opinions and thoughts, different so much so that Norn, as an introverted shy kia herself, feels that her concerns and emotions are ignored whenever she speaks to them. As such, she rarely associates with her 4th sibling aside from absolute necessity.

SIBLING 5 - A protective bond
Norn and her 5th sibling get along famously. Despite being frightened of the unknown and the daunting purpose she was born to fulfill, she cares deeply for them and wishes to protect them from that which would wish to harm them. She'll often offer to help them with a task, or give them advice when times are tough. She also prefers to travel with them when it is possible.

•What makes me who I am

Tuesday's personality is like a roller coaster, it has many ups and down but is a mystery until the end. You never know what's coming. Like many other people, Tuesday is shy. Not painfully shy but shy enough to say that she's in a thin shell that's protecting her from danger until it's exhausted itself. There's a group of people that she isn't afraid to be around, her siblings. It took a while for her to develop a relationship with them so that she isn't in a shell and it's ever developing until she's not scared, and when she comes out of her shell she changes. Spunky, confident, artistic, words used to describe her. Tuesday is passionate about art, she's learned to speak through it from days of work. Endless work. That was first and since it's been so long, she's found a way to be confident with painting within her shell, not having to come out. Art isn't just painting, no, it's more. She has a way of moving that is like second nature to her, yes dancing, she is self taught and maybe that's why she likes to close her eyes. Dreams of another place then moves to the thought of it without having to worry about the world, is that oasis that she dreams of out there somewhere? Awaiting her arrival? Quite possibly but for now it's locked away, yet to be discovered. And so her story of personality continues, let's venture inside the shell shall we? Don't forget art has already been covered so we won't be visiting that part of her again. Tuesday, a day, a name. She has a unique name to fit her, sadly some can't accept that and never will be able to. What's being implied her is that she is made fun of and caused to recede, to look away from peoples eyes. The girl lacks a sense of humour because of this and can't define jokes from insults, insults designed to cause her maximum damage, we call this being dull and serious. She isn't immature but not mature either, not in the middle, possibly below or above that? No, she's something completely different that is yet to be named and welcomed into this world. Modern, she is modern, ahead of her time if you will. There isn't a lot to her so this is where it ends.

My name is Tuesday, hello.
I don't really remember when it
all began or how we came to be
but I've heard stories from Talonzi,
Meili and of course my siblings. So
I'm here to tell you what my beginning
in this world of misfortune was like,
please before we begin I'd like to point
out a few things. I am not a downer, I
quite enjoy life it's just a shame that
I'm so shy and talking of shy I hope you realize how incredibly difficult this is for me. Obviously this happened many years ago so please do forgive me if I forget something or another.

It was black, pitch black, then I saw a welcoming face… my slightly older sibling (ten seconds to be exact.) They helped me up and obviously since then we've had a special bond, let's call them number two. Yes, two, so polite and friendly probably the friendliest out of us all. Not before long I was up on my feet scanning the scenery around me then from the corner of my eye I see a green figure approaching me, we'll call them number four. Without drawing attention to myself I shifted my head an inch to look at four, tall, elegant, fair faced. We started talking then heard some giggling coming from behind us and of course we both looked behind us to find two more figures staring back at us, eye to eye. Now let's call them one and three, I think that's everyone but let's not jinx it, no that was everyone. Silence. I began laughing and I'm not sure why it just seemed funny that five siblings new to this world had nothing to talk about, everyone started laughing after that and in a few minutes we found ourselves sitting all together in a group chatting. I'm not going to go into detail about what we talked about but it had something to do with our plans and what not. My start was pretty swell until a few years later when more kiamaras came into the world and as I started to socialize it became clear to be that not everyone can be as welcoming as one, three, four and especially not two. Whilst some come close no one is close enough to be exactly how we are with people, and whilst I am shy I can still welcome people. I used to be better but I realised that not everyone wants to be friends, some want to cause chaos. Is that why we are here, alive, to keep peace? Without us in the world would terror rain on civilisation? We might never know. Anyway, as hard as I seemed I somehow found a way to cope and whilst finding a way to do so I made friendship with not many but enough kiamaras. Some of my best friends consist of ‪Naomi, Pippin and Doodle, like all best friends they've helped me through some really difficult times and I'm yet to introduce them to my siblings. You see I'm still getting used to having some close friends, as I'm still really shy. There isn't really much more to say, until we meet again goodbye.

One, always making me laugh they were. Three also made me laugh but not as much as one would, one felt like my twin I guess but not exactly. In a way that they understand me perfectly and can make a joke out of anything somehow making it fit perfectly to my personality so it makes me burst out laughing every time.

Two has always seemed like the leader to me, my parent I guess you could call it. They've always been the first one to help when I've been in trouble or haven't felt the best, my guardian angel in a way. I don't know where I'd be without them, probably in a hole with a mountain of problems on my hands.

Three is very similar to one, they also make me laugh lots. Not as funny though, sometimes they don't know when to stop and end up making me feel awkward. They seem like the youngest to me, a little sibling. Three and one seem to understand each other but three doesn't understand anyone else in quite the same way.

Four, how will I go about explaining my relationship with them. An annoying older sibling, yes, annoying. We don't dislike each other but we prefer to speak to others rather than each other, don't get me wrong we enjoy speaking to one another but it's just a bit nifty to find a subject we can both relate to.

A little crush
Extra

It started a few years ago when I first met her, she seemed somewhat unique to me although she also reminded me of a few other girls. She was new to the area so I decided to introduce myself before I lost the chance to, it was then that I discovered that she was named Naomi. I found that Mimi had tons of friends, no mate and a bisexual like me. We carried on talking after that and never really stopped, however, it wasn't then that I started liking her. It was actually a year or two before I realised that I liked her and at the beginning I didn't really know what the feeling was but after a short amount of time I figured out what it was, I know she is one of my best friends but I still haven't told her and she hasn't told me about anyone she has got her eye on so I'm hoping Mimi is still single although I'm sure she'd tell me if she was going out with someone. I guess what I'm worried about is telling her that I'd like to go on a date but her not being interested, I mean if that happened we'd probably still be really good friends but it might be a bit awkward for the first few weeks. I know Naomi wants to start a family because it's what she talks about half of the time but not in an obsessive way, anyway the reason why I like her is because she's always helping me back up when I stumble. Hopefully I'll get the courage to ask her out one day.

I'm trying out for Kiamara #1

Ｎａｍｅ ::

Viola Sebastian
She goes by two names: reason explained below.


The meanings of the names themselves does not matter in the slightest, but due to the presence of the two personas, I decided to reference Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" as I studied it a few years ago. In the play, Viola and Sebastian are twins who take each others' places throughout, so I felt it would fit.

Ｇｅｎｄｅｒ ::

Biologically female but bigender.
She has both a male and female persona and frequently switches between them.

Ｐｅｒｓｏｎａｌｉｔｙ ::
ｃｈａｒｉｓｍａｔｉｃ | ｐｅｒｆｏｒｍｅｒ | ｃｏｎｎｅｃｔｅｄ

Some would call Vi a wild spirit, others an attention-seeker. She does what she wants, when she wants, and will challenge anyone to say otherwise. She is a performer at heart. She adores the spotlight, having all the attention on her, and will do almost anything to gain it, as long as it corresponds to her moral code. Her code fluctuates depending on how you make your first impression with her, so its always wise to watch what you say and do to make sure it doesn't offend her. She can be your connection to even higher places, or a cold, calculating businesswoman out to ruin you, and you don't want that. If you're not with her, you are against her, and if you think that you can take her on then she already has you in her trap. There is nothing she enjoys more than making others underestimate her, then throwing all their beliefs out as she destroys them. No matter what the situation is, she will play to her strengths and change her strategy to whatever is needed. This flexibility allows her to cover more ground, and gain more control. She will make any attempt to “put on a show” and prove that she's top dog, this has gotten her into trouble before but she has her ways of getting out of it. She is very “in it to win it” and will attack the threat head on, though not through actual conflict if she can help it. It isn't that she is afraid of it, much the opposite in that she has seen too much of it, so prefers to fight as rivals in the world of business. Appearances are very important to her, so she likes to keep her personal life to herself. It's better for her reputation if she keeps the obsessive, habitual, jealous Kia away from everyone else, so she bottles it up when others are around, hoping they don't notice the envious glances at their tails. Her façade of fearlessness, short temper and cold decisiveness makes her a real opponent, and she knows it. With an attitude like hers, and the charisma to match it, she could have the world in her paws, but she isn't as ambitious as some of her siblings. She owns a highly visited club, earns enough to live comfortably and is perfectly fine with that.

Ｒｅｌａｔｉｏｎｓ ｗｉｔｈ ｓｉｂｌｉｎｇｓ ::

Although Vi loves her siblings, there is only so much that she could put up with from them. Family is always better in smaller doses, particularly when you have four siblings your age with no authority figure to try and control them. At first they remained close, bonded by their shared memory loss and fear for the unknown, but they soon realised that the world was far too interesting to spend all their time in one place. Not bound to anything, they each went their separate ways to establish something for themselves. Vi was the least certain of the five of them in this plan, as she wished she would have someone there to watch over her like her brothers had done for her before, so Sebastian was formed. “He” gave her the confidence she needed to succeed, while at the same time reminding her of her siblings in her own way. Unlike her siblings, Vi was never very ambitious, something they always seemed to mention when they spoke, as family does. They always say she should aim higher, do the best for herself, but she doesn't listen. They're important to her, but they have no say in her life decisions.

Despite going their separate ways, none of them really ever were too far away, no matter how it felt for Vi sometimes. They all would make an effort to come back and see her, when they could, just as she made an effort to do the same when she was able. Even when both were busy, she would always try and establish some form of communication, even an email or a phone call is better than nothing. Just because you don't live near someone doesn't mean that you have to completely lose contact, however difficult it may be sometimes.

Unlike with others that she knows, she is quite open with her siblings. They are aware of Sebastian, and although they were initially quite unsure of the concept, to the point where her brothers laughed at the childishness they perceived it to be, after seeing the positive changes that it brought about in their sister they found it easier to accept. Or at least pretend to for Vi's sake, even if they didn't understand completely themselves, because although family will fight sometimes, at the end of the day we only want what is best for the ones we love.

Ｓｈｏｒｔ ｓｔｏｒｙ ::

Put back on this world at a young age, Vi, like most her age, wasn't sure quite what she wanted to be when she grew up. It switched regularly, influenced by everything around her. Just like the time she had heard about the fire fighters saving a young Kia's life from a terrible fire, then had decided that she had wanted to help people like that. Following that she had set her mind to becoming an athlete, then a teacher, but nothing really stuck for too long. As she grew up, working hard in her studies, she developed and matured, and so did her plans about the future. She had always wanted to help other Kias, ones that had been lost like she had felt at that young age, so she set her mind to creating a place that they could go to have fun. Starting her own business was a difficult process. Many told her that she couldn't do it, and in the end she wasn't sure if it was her determination or pure stubbornness to not prove them right which won.

Though she naturally seemed to have a head for business, she knew not to become cocky, as there was a lot resting on this. So she spent some time making connections, putting her charm to the test to learn the tricks of the trade from others who knew it better. Sometimes even without their express permission – what could she say, she was a quick study and couldn't help it if they kept all their secrets on their sleeves. She was getting pretty good at reading others in order to get what she wanted, and the manipulation followed shortly after that. Before too long, she had everything she could possibly need and more to start her business up and get it going. Including the connections made to get herself out of any trouble and pass through every obstacle on the way – something very important in her business, particularly when it comes to rivals within the industry.

The process was just as difficult as she had been told, but she persevered, and eventually her rubble turned to riches. She built herself something she could really be proud of, and ever since then it has been her sanctuary, and the sanctuary of those like her.

-----

The music beating right through her as a second pulse, the sound baring her soul, Vi quickly found herself swaying to the rhythm as she stood up on the balcony, observing those below. The beat was infectious, moving through her in soft elegant movements. It wasn't always like this, sometimes the calm would fade to something quite erratic, unrestricted, but tonight she was feeling quite pensive – thoughtful. The club was handling itself well, everything running smoothly, she wasn't needed up top as an owner but downstairs as a bartender. Everything was twice as efficient when two of them were working down at the bar, for obvious reasons, and it meant she could allow herself to fully relax.

And so it began, the “transformation” as some of her colleagues called it. Viola to Sebastian. Of course they were the same Kia, through and through, with only a few changes, but this was how she was comfortable downstairs, and how others found it most relaxing. For whatever reason, they trusted Sebastian's calm, charming, exterior to the confident young woman she usually was. Not to mention that she found it much more comforting when drunk young male Kiamara weren't hitting on her. The occasional girl she could handle, but some of the guys, when they had too much to drink they were really out of it and that could get dangerous. So why run the risk?

The entire process took very little time. She was so used to it now that it was second-nature to her, she probably could do it in her sleep. An insecure female Kia stepped into that changing room, a confident young man stepping out, and there the night truly began for her – relaxed and content with how events had unfolded. She was happy, her customers were happy, and hopefully where ever they were, her siblings would be proud.

Ａｄｄｉｔｉｏｎａｌ ｅｘｔｒａ ::
Ｈｅｒ ｏｐｉｎｉｏｎ ｏｎ ｈｅｒ ｔａｉｌ

No matter what she personally believed about herself, there were always those who would deny her claims of normality and call her special. Of course this was utterly ridiculous, because as much as her siblings might have believed it, they weren't anything special - not really. They were just like everyone else in all respects, but one. In fact they were probably even less special due to the lack of the tail that all other Kiamara possessed. As much as she hid it away externally, her abnormality really bothered Vi.

A tail was something that most complained about. It just got in the way. Some of them even thought her lucky for the absence of her tail, but she did not share their thoughts. Why would lacking this appendage make her special? It only made her different. Of course different could be good, but she envied the regular Kias, and though very few actually said anything about her bobtail, she was ashamed of it. There was no teasing, in fact other Kias seemed to like it. But Vi wasn't content with their voiced opinions, she would make up her own mind on what she was happy with.

She even grew out her hair for the purpose of distracting away from her missing tail, something also done by some of her siblings however probably for other reasons. Her hair was long enough to hide behind, but striking enough to make an impression beyond shyness. For she had enough confidence to get away with it without revealing her secret envy. She just wishes that she could get up the courage to talk to someone about it, but her siblings seemed to be coping perfectly fine, so she bottles it all up and hides it away. Only Sebastian is aware of it.
