ｌｏｒｅｌｅｉ/ｆｅｍａｌｅ/28 ｙｅａｒｓ ｏｌｄ/ｂｒａｖｅ/ｉｎｔｅｌｌｉｇｅｎｔ/ ａｎｄ ａ ｂｉｔ ｓｈｙ

lorelei was always a gentle girl. but that all changed, the day of the "wreck." lorelei was on a ship with her family, and the choppy waves crashed upon the starboard edge of the wooden beast. the lightning crashed, thunder boomed, and the waves and the jagged rocks overtook the ship. she panicked, and blacked out. she awoke to a grey sky. "am i dead?" she thought. she soon saw the little island she was fortunate to float off onto. jagged rocks lined the coastline, dead grass and muddy sand formed into lumpy, ugly little hills that dotted the landscape. however, what caught her eye was the lighthouse.

the tall structure loomed over the island like a warden and the prisoners he is entrusted to watch. when she realized her predicament, she began to sob. "no one can hear me cry, scream, or shout, i'm dead for sure." she wept for hours. after all, that was all she could do, as her family had long perished in the storm. she wailed, and as a last ditch effort, ran to the old lighthouse. she climbed to the top of the brick behemoth, and began to try and turn the light on, but to no avail.

for days, she slept near the light of the lighthouse. she pushed and pushed, hoping that it would light up. one day, she woke to the tepid, salty, air and turned on the old wheel that powered the light. it shone brightly, almost blinding her from its contrast to the bleak landscape around. she lay for hours, exhausted and malnourished, until salvation came.

a little dinghy boat reached the island, apparently seeing that lighthouse and realizing that it wasn't used anymore. she boarded the ship, and rode to a small coastal town. she later lived a full life. but she believes it isn't the fact that her parents perished in the storm and she lives happily. all that counts is she survived. she was strong enough. stronger than she could ever believe.

name :: jasmine faye 'jas or jasmine'

yes, I'm smiling. and you're the reason for it.
yes, I'm crying. and you're the reason for it.
yes, It's over. and you're the reason for it.
what did I do to be let down so badly?

age :: twenty-one years old
height :: 5ft 6
weight :: slim and small - 36kg
hair :: mainly knotty from salt water
likes :: surfing, paddle boarding, hiking,
getting outside - anything fun
dislikes :: the heat, dirt, mushrooms,
people you can't trust, broken hearts..
occupation :: a 'mermaid' at a
nearby aquarium

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

her home :: Jasmine lives in a floating hut house with a dock and a small rowboat - around 100m off the shore. The verandah/dock contains all her surfing gear, and the housing part of her hut has three walls, the fourth side being open with railing along it. It looks out into the ocean beyond. There is also a window on the opposite side. Jasmine's bed is against the back wall and she has a couch that faces the tv mounted on one of the side walls. She also has a kitchen and a bathroom! She is not far away from an aquarium on the mainland, a 10 minute walk away from the shore near her hut. She works as a mermaid in the pools. She doesn't mind it however and finds it a fun and amusing job. She has a tube supplying her air concealed along her face and down to an oxygen tank stored at the tip of her 'tail'

about me :: hiya, I'm {h o r s e}! I am plumie-less and have been for close to a year. I'm still a very amateur artist so art takes me longer than usual. I hope you're judging this on effort! c: I really have clicked with this girl - her simple pattern and blue highlights are really what I love in a plumerian. I'm gonna keep this form short and sweet because I'm not much of a wordsmith unfortunately - less reading for you though!

personality :: Jasmine has always been an introvert. She's never had the guts to stand up for herself and can be fragile and hard to comfort in times of sadness. She's hard to understand and even though she may not let them show, her emotions are very susceptible to change. She's incredibly conservative and often finds herself drifting into random tangents. Jas is known to get stressed and over thinks things. She's a mover and can't sit around and do nothing - it just kills her to be able to . When she is alone she tends to develop a more curious and adventurous character. She is very fit and active despite her introverted personality.

Jasmine finds it hard to co-exist with stressful situations. She becomes overwhelmed when people around her fight and argue and often finds herself taking great measures to get out of uncomfortable situations. She can often be hard to console when upset and gets very anxious. She often finds herself not eating or sleeping when she is stressed and has a lot to think about. She finds it hard to focus on more than 2 things at once and nothing lasts in her brain for longer than 5 days. It's obvious she likes things to be neat and tidy but she often forgets to take care of herself, leaving her hair tangled and wavy from the salty sea water.

Jasmine chooses to be alone a lot of the time because she finds people very hard to trust. Everyone she has put her faith in has broken it in two. She's not very social by choice and by her awkwardness around people. She much prefers to be alone in the world. She loves to explore and feels that doing it with a friend ruins her experience. Being alone makes her happier than friends ever could. It's sad that she has had her heart broken in this way by people who put her down continuously. No matter how hard they try, no one can ever fix her broken trust again.

history :: Jasmine suffers from post-traumatic stress disorder from events in her childhood. Her vision of her history is quite blurry. She was born in Australia which is where she spent most of her life. She participated in many watersports and loved to swim despite the negative energy spread throughout her childhood. Needing to escape, she moved to Hawaii at 19 and found the perfect job, working as a 'mermaid' at the zoo.

accessories :: Jasmine wears a simple key on a silver chain around her neck. Nobody knows what it's for though.. she hasn't told anyone and doesn't plan to. It's her secret.

why I want her :: I really love Jasmine because I have clicked with her like no other. She couldn't be more perfect! I love plumies but am still plumie-less after a while. I would be delighted to receive a plumie before I go back to school in Feburary and exams [yay.] because I would not have the time to try for other plumies to the best of my ability. Let alone find one that I like as much!

comic :: the chase - sketch so far

video :: I have made a video for Jasmine here xxx It is featuring Jasmine's daily life alone with the universe. Please make sure your sound is on! It is a WIP, I plan to add lots if I get her! I want it to be like a photo album of her life.

gallery :: All art is by myself - please note I am still developing my art skills and may not be as advanced as others <3

The Girl Far From Home:
Emelia originated from a small town in France which had nothing more than a few shops and the school house. While living there she became fascinated with one thing, the world. Anytime she could Emi would go by the school's library and explore through isles of books about the different lands surrounding her home. It became her one dream to travel the globe and learn about the cultures and landscapes besides the soft fields of her home. She began to collect maps and hang them around her room, marking all the places she wished to see in the future. Though Emelia understood that her family did not have the most money so she would have to earn her way around the world. She got a job at a local bakery and helped make pastries for the villagers. Whenever she was lucky, a traveler would stroll into the shop and she could hear about their fantastic adventures in the outside world. Every night after working, Emi would dream about the wild plains of Africa and the mountain peaks of the Andes or the lighthouses protecting the cliffs by the crashing ocean currents. She could see the entire world in her head, but she knew that the real thing was waiting just outside the town square's hall.

On the Way to Adventure:
Years passed by and Emelia was only closer to her dreams by the amount of money in her bank. She had finally earned enough money to travel, but not as extensively as she had dreamed. The farthest she could go was Paris on her budget, but she would have to not spend any money there in order to make it back home. The dream of traveling still invaded her mind every so often, but soon reality hit her and she no longer woke up excited to work. However, one day a stranger walked into the bakery. Usually new tourist would excite Emelia and she would chat for hours with them until she had her fill of their stories and went back to dreaming of her own. Today when the woman walked in she politely served her and did nothing more. The lady would glance at Emi every so often, observing her as she cleaned the counter. After finishing her crepe the lady stood up and went over to Emelia. "What is a young girl doing working at a bakery when she could be out scouting for boys and buying new dresses?" the lady inquired. Emi, surprised by the woman's comment replied, "Well, I plan to travel the world one day in the future, but in order to do so I knew I needed to earn money, so instead of wasting my time I went straight to work." The lady smiled at her reply, complimented her on her determination, and then left the shop. Confused, Emelia started back to wiping the counter, only to find that the lady had left a long strand of clear blue pearls on the table. She ran out to catch up with her, however the lady had disappeared. Emi held on to the pearls and eventually she began the habit of arranged them in her hair to give her a more elegant appearance. She continued to work at the bakery until a mysterious letter appeared in the mail.

Where the Journey Will Start...
Emelia woke up early in the morning to prepare for work, however a bizarre letter was placed on her nightstand. It was addressed directly to her and was written in an extremely elegant cursive that she almost could not read. Opening the letter, she was relieved to see in written in print and began to read:

Dear Emelia,
This might come as quite a surprise to you, however I have come to realize the great amount of potential in you. I have had my servants observe you over the past months in order to see whether or not you were the perfect candidate for my special offer. I left the pearls with you hoping that you would keep them around and make it easier for my servants to watch all the good you had done each day. It it thus apparent that you have qualified for a special opportunity that I will only offer once, so you better think well before declining it. I will offer you all the supplies and money necessary to explore the vast regions of the earth and all it's cultures. You can go wherever you want whenever you want and I will spare no expense upon you. This may seem strange for an old lady to do, however I have never been one to leave the comfort of my home, but I love stories of adventure and travels. Lately, however, all the stories have begun to bore me. This is where you come in. I want you to write down all of the events of your adventures in a journal that you will periodically send to me so that I can keep up with you. If you wish to accept these terms meet me in Paris in three days time.
Sincerely,
The Benefactor

Emelia immediately jumped up and raced out of her room. She talked it over with her parents and the date was set. She packed all of her maps, treasures, and especially her pearls to prepare for the long journey ahead. Emelia has no idea how far her journey will take her, but she knows that everything she will see and learn will never be forgotten.

name: Irena (e-ray-na) means peace
gender: female
age: 17
personality: caring, stubborn, scatter brained, creative, cunning, hopeful, dreamer, peaceful, trustworthy, energetic
favorite quote: stars cant shine without darkness
favorite food: blackberries


Irena is very open and trustworthy to all and makes many new friends this way but she might not be being completely open about everything. theres only one creature in the whole world that she opens up to completely, his name is Fenton. he is a little sparrow who is her life long companion. the two met when Fenton was being attacked by a fox. Irena knew that it hadn't been a fair struggle cause the little bird had already been injured by a hawk this morning barely escaping with his life. Irena intervened and scared the fox away. she later found out Fentons name and that his wing was broken and would take awhile to heal, so she brought him home with her and took care of him. he stayed with her until his wing healed but then by the time he could fly the two had grown quite close and he ended up staying with her forever, keeping her company. the two are always seen together they prefer to never be apart unless they have to. the two are both very energetic and love climbing trees.

Irena loves to hike and see new things. she and Fenton often explore the woods and hiking trails around their home, a beutiful cottage, overgrown with plants, surrounded by a thick forest. Irena loves climbing trees becuase she likes to see everything. she will climb all the way to the top of a really tall tree just for the view and sometimes she will sit for hours sketching the view she sees with Fenton at her side. Irena loves writing and reading. she loves to write stories about the animals she meets in the woods or about her and Fentons forest exploration. she also daydreams a lot and will often zone out during conversations if no one is talking to her. she is a big scatter brain and has a desk in her house that she does most of her drawings and writings, it is always a mess and she sometimes forgets where she puts stuff. she is very forgetfull and Fenton constantly reminds her to do things. she loves listening to music becuase it sets her mind in a state of calm peacefullness.

Irena doesnt like war she prefers to keep peace with every living thing. she is also a vegetarian because she prefers not to eat animals. her parents remain a mistery to all but Fenton. her father was a soldier and he died in the war. she didnt know him much but she still misses him. her mother on the other hand took care of her for a long time only to get sick and die leaving her to fend for her self. she often grieves for them with Fenton comforting her. also the blue beads on her head are from her mother. her father had given them to her mother before he died but when her mother became ill she gave them to Irena. now she never takes them off, not even when she sleeps.

Welcome, I'm Elko. I guess we could talk for a little while. Oh, and before you ask, I'm male not female. I prefer they/them prounouns but anything along the lines of he/his is okay! As you may of guessed, I get teased alot for my long hair, but I've gotten used to it, it doesnt bother me anymore.

I like to write things and read things, and soon hope to publish a book that will be known globally. I know it's quite a far-fetched dream, but you can do anything if you believe! The book is about Athens, in the past, as I hope to visit there one day. I currently reside in spain, since its very hot I keep my hair up. Hm, now that I've started to ramble on about where I live and things, I guess I'll keep going. I don't like using technology as it doesnt seem right. I write all by paw and dig in my allotment by paw, too. There are some butterfly fields quite near to my allotment and I go there to lie down and rest, eating my packed lunch. Did I mention I was vegitarian? I guess I'll carry on to my personality.

According to other plumies, I'm very gentle and caring even when you get me angry. Well, they say I don't exactly GET angry... Hm. I will admit this, I am a huge fluttershy and tend to be a doormat most of the time. I really do suck at standing up for my friends, but atleast they understand. I hope. I have no idea who my parents are, and dont exactly want to know, as they may be dead which would make me sad. I'm quite secretive, too. I don't like people knowing my secrets. I lie alot to keep the water calm, as I don't like conflict. I have nothing else to say, so goodbye!

[cryptgal]

Her name is Adalynn.
Personality:

This plumie loves everything romantic. From novels, tv shows, to movies, romance is her addiction. She is also very curious and a bit nosey, but her lovable bubbly personality makes up for it. She frequently dreams about what her romantic life will be like in the future. She often yearns to have someone to love for her own. She would describe it as "My heart has too much love to give. It overflows with this love. But it isn't the type of love as in the way you would love your family or friends, or even pets." She is also infatuated with the ocean,this is why she wears the blue pearl on her head, but what she specifically likes about the ocean is the mermaid legends linked to it..Even though Adalynn is very friendly, she can distance her self very easily, and it seems very cold and heartless, but there is a probably a very good reason to why she distanced herself from the individual. Unfortunately for her, she can get depressed easily, and she'll mope about whatever happened for a while but she will eventually feel better.

Favourites:
Some of her favourite things to eat are donuts she really likes them, and she also really likes popcorn. Her favourite types of jokes to hear and make are puns. Another thing she likes to do is play with her hair, for example, making tiny braids in it. She also loves to sleep in a lot. She can sleep almost up to 18 hours. Adalynn also is a lover for other peoples culture, and is fascinated by others personal backgrounds. She likes to learn lots of things about her friends, which is the nosey part of her personality really standing out.


Pet:
Her pet is a male Splendid Fairywren. link
