Name;Aiday and Nobody
Gender;Male
Personality; (245 words total)He has split personalities:
Aiday (Ah-a-day);
Sweet // Artistic // Sometimes gets depression // Introvert // SnugglyIf one was ever to meet Aiday, they would describe him as sweet, really there wasn’t another word for it. He truly lived up to the name Aiday, which means moon child, a soft glow that allows others to shine around it while still lighting the way. Upon first meeting him, it would be near impossible to tell that he had lived through so much pain, as if the pain had got up and walked away. However, there are times that Aiday falls into states of depression, normally very little besides his art can pull him out of these. Art is Aiday’s passion, curiously enough whenever he paints himself he adds a shadow around him. His friends often worry and think that the shadow is some sort of cage, but the shadow in his art makes him feel as if the painted version of himself is protected.
Nobody;
Violent // Angry // Fighter // Stealthy // Paranoid // Life goal is guarding Aiday From what can be told of Nobody, he's violent, paranoid, angry at the world and very protective of his other half, however, there is much that cannot be told. Nobody rarely comes out, leaving Aiday the dominant personality. Those few times when Nobody does reveal himself, it's only to protect Aiday. Who knows, maybe he does have a soft spot? Or maybe he's just an angry ball of sadness and fear.
Back Story; (Exactly 700 words)Fire. Yellow, red and blue colors danced erratically around, engulfing the forest and burning the paws of the young plumie as he scrambled to get away from the fire. He managed four more steps with smoke filled lungs before his feet gave up. His mother, who was right behind him, nudged him back onto his feet, murmuring encouragement and making promises of rest. Slowly, far too slowly, he got back onto his feet and continued stumbling forward. With his mother's help he managed to keep ahead of the fire.
That was, until they encountered a second wall of flames.
A spark from the fire had caught on the wind and started burning the stretch of forest between them and the river, with the fire running closer behind them they were trapped with no way out. Aiday shrunk down, looking up at the flames with horror, his eyes clogged with smoke. Every instinct he had was telling him to get out of there, but there was no way out. Suddenly, he was jarred forward by a nose on his hindquarters.
Aiday's mother was pushing him towards the flame, saying something that took him a few moments to register and a few more to comprehend. There was a gap in the flames not too far from them, under a rotting log with just enough space for him to fit through. He moved quickly, squeezing himself under the log while listening to his mother's voice.
"Keep going once you're out, I won't be able to follow through there but I'll find another way around and meet you at the river."
Everything would be fine, they would be safe, adrenaline raced through his body at the thought of safety and gave him the extra energy to get out the other side.
Aiday turned around to bid his mother farewell till they met again at the river, just in time to see the branch fall. The smile that had made it's way onto his face vanished as he heard his mother's final scream as the fire engulfed her.
He couldn't move, even as the flames swirled around him, his eyes were wide with pain and his body had gone stiff. Mother was gone, and it was his fault, he abandoned her. His feet weren’t moving because he deserved to die for hurting her. Grief, anger and pain engulfed him and his young mind couldn't handle it. Everything just seemed to fade into a single thought.
'Mother is gone and nobody could ever bring her back.'
The thought raced through him a few more times before he giggled. One, then two escaped him until he was laughing through his burning throat.
All he could remember was those silly jokes he and his mother used to make about Odysseus.
Nobody could ever bring her back
And somewhere in all the pain he couldn’t handle, in accepting his fate, in his laughter, something bloomed to take the pain away. Aiday couldn’t handle what was happening, so someone else had too.
That was all the young one could remember before waking up muzzle deep in the river.
But that was not all that happened. No, for that was the night that Nobody was born. Out of the pain, the fear and the anger. When Nobody saw the walls of flame, mere seconds after his creation, he knew that he had to get Aiday out of there. On paws that were not his own he raced, forcing Aiday’s body to extremes that the young one could never have reached on his own.
It was the day it all began, but not the end by any measure. There would be times in the future, both near and far, when Aiday would be in pain or in danger and not know what to do. When those times would come Nobody would put the other’s mind to rest before taking over and handle what the other could not.
Nobody was not nice, nor happy by any means. He was made of pain and thus that’s all he ever should be, but sometimes when Aiday was safe and dreaming; he could be found giving the other a tiny smile.

The Path Of Nobody; (150 words including explanation.)Do you see that road?
Beyond the old tree?
The one that's barely there?
That's the path that Nobody takes
Every night and day
The path that Nobody guards.
From the living's sight
Where Nobody hunts and Nobody fights
Where Nobody cries and Nobody hides
And Nobody scares the others away
From the one, he holds so dear
So little child
You shouldn't go
Down the path of Nobody
You scoff and roll your eyes
As you head for the path
"If nobody's there then what shall I fear?"
You mock
So when I hear you scream
I won't go to rescue you
After all, why would I?
Nobody's there.Explanation:
Aiday's den is down the trail where his mother died. Some plumies started rumors that his mother's ghost haunts the trail. This leads to plumies getting dared to go down it. Nobody doesn’t like this.
