Will you make any use of the Cryst?:
Yes! I am a huge Okami fan and almost tried for this lovely a few years ago now when she was first created, but I did not have the time or skills back then. She was taken down before I ever got my chance at her. Now that she is up again I must try for her! She shall be very loved and the possible mate to my Gekigami, who happens to be loosely Okami based and named after one of the Okami brush gods!

Theme Song: Okami Music - Waka's Theme
There are no words to this song, but I find the tune and melody just suite this lovely cryst so well, as well as it suites the personality I have given her.It's not too slow, or too fast and upbeat. It's quiet, yet sweet.

Fave Okami Scene: (Just For Fun)
Hitoshio Spring

Personality:
- Quiet and Shy
Shi tends to be quiet, almost never speaking unless it's just short to point something out or warn someone. If she does ever speak about anything else, it is only to Gekigami, her closest friend and hope to be mate. She does not like being around others too much and hides from them usually, or stays very close to Geki when she must be around others, especially large groups of any kind, whether they are Crysts or not.

- Calm and Loyal
She tends to be a very calm girl, mostly because she does not go out on fights with Geki. She prefers to relax in the peace of the wild, especially on cliffs overlooking the sea, with a nice breeze ruffling her fur and grass under her paws. Thoguh she does not go with Geki when he is out protecting other crysts, she is very loyal to him and would never turn tail and run if she was seeing him in danger.

- Patient
Shi is fairly patient, being able to wait hours for Geki to return or for her prey to come close. She does not worry much for the first while, but after a week or so, like anyone who's kind is hunted so often, she would start getting worried that a hunter got Geki or he got injured and could not return. Even then she will stay put, her nervousness making her stay where Geki can find her easily once he heals or escapes the hunters if he is being chased. She will only leave her home to look for him if it has been over two months of him being away, for he is normally not gone longer then two weeks.

- Wears Emotional Mask
She is afraid of showing her emotions, afraid of criticism she may get for letting other know how she feels, whether it be about them, someone else, or just her life in general. She wears an emotional mask to hide the feelings from others, harboring all the pain, hurt, fear and even happy emotions deep inside behind a flood gate. Sometimes she thinks the gate will crack, drawing her away from others even further to prevent them from seeing her break down as the flood of emotions break through.

- Musical
You may be thinking, musical? That seems so human like. But I do not mean she is musical in the way humans are with instruments and music players, but in a far different way. She enjoys listening to the sounds of the nature around her. Waterfalls, a breeze through the canopy, the birds singing, putting all these together, and more, to create a song in her mind. She believes this is not a hard talent, just something you need patience and quiet to do.

On My Own:
The sharp sound rang through the air, putting my mother on alert. Her ears were perked as she looked in the direction of the sound, the direction we had just come from, our den. My parents had been acting nervous and strange since my father came home, telling us to run. My mother picked me up by the scruff and bolted from the den as my father instructed, after the two said goodbye. I thought it was just a temporary farewell, like it normally was, but once that sound was heard, streams of tears rolled down my mother's cheeks. I was confused, unsure why she was crying, unsure what it was about that sound that made her cry. She hesitated before picking up her run once again, but this time I heard annoying, loud sounds coming towards up. A pack of dogs, but they were different from the wolves I has seen around our home and drove fear into my heart.

We were being herded towards the ravine, a place I was always told to stay away from whenever my parents took my out of the den to see the territory. I could feel my mother's hesitation once again, but she quickly caught her pace, and even sped up. The cliff came into view, coming closer and closer, my eyes went wide in fear as I realized what she was about to do. She was gonna jump. We hit the edge and her paws left the ground, lifting her head up in the air to keep me from hitting the ground when we landed, but her leap was short and she just managed to cling to the edge. The crystals upon her back, and the weight of her think fur, prevented her from pulling herself up. She quickly threw me up on the edge and whispered her last words to me "Run, run far away and never come back." I saw a single tear drip down her cheek before she released her grip on the cliff's edge.

I let out a cry of horror as I watched her fall, unable to turn away from the dark abyss and the sight before me. The yowling of the dogs continued as they stood on the edge of the cliff, watching her, their eyes filled with fire and the desire to kill. They did not care about what just happened, they only cared about their prey who had escaped them, one falling into an abyss and the other watching in terror from the other side. Tears streamed down my face, my eyes wide in shock. I was shaking in fear and sadness, having just lost everything, even though I did not know it. I assumed my father was alive and would come looking for me, making me want to stay and find him, but I remembered her words, and finally, once I shook off the shock and my mother was out of sight, I ran, I ran as fast as my stubby legs would carry me, leaving the cliff and the dogs far behind me.

Meeting Gekigami:
It was quite a few years before I met Gekigami. I lived on my own, traveling from place to place, too afraid to stay in one place too long. I had learned the truth about my father during that time, learning that the sound I heard was made by the thing the strange two legged creatures called 'hunters' used to kill our kind. My father was dead, and I was forced to accept it, forced to give up my search for him, the only hope I had left, shattered. I became a very quiet girl, afraid the hunters would hear me, afraid that if I spoke, my past would come up and draw the tears to my eyes once again.

My life became very black and white, I felt I no longer had a reason to live, no longer had a reason to run away from the hunters. Yet I was still found running, my legs gaining a mind of their own, the automatic movement of running continuing even though my mind no longer commanded me to run. I ran in the day and took shelter in the night, avoiding hunters, running mindlessly just to stay alive, but I was not truly living.

Meeting Gekigami got me out of that rut though. The howling of the dogs, rang through the air as they got closer and closer. My past came back to me in a flood, reminding me of the chase and the death. Now the dogs were after me, chasing me through the trees. I did not know the area well, giving me a disadvantage. I ran until I reached a dead end, a large wall of stone before me with no way to climb up. I spun around to back track, to find I was always surrounded. A look of excitement and pleasure filled their eyes as they growled, showing white teeth. They barked and lunged forward, causing me to react in defense, raising my claws to swat one away. This just made the others angrier and a look of fire appeared next to the excitement in their eyes.

Fear filled my soul as they came closer and closer, barking and yowling, snapping at me once and a while, forcing me against the stone wall behind me. One leaped forward and I closed my eyes, waiting to feel it's teeth and claws. A yelp of pain, startled me though and I opened my eyes to see a large growling form before me. A large male with black fur, covered in delicate red and white marking and decorated in sheets of some sort showing strange markings of some sort. His crystals were dark purple with a red highlighting and they shimmered in the light. He flung the dog back, scraping it's side with his claws. A couple more dogs later and they were fleeing in anger, some yelping in pain. Geki saved my life that day, and I became his companion ever since.

Thank you for this chance, and I hope you enjoy reading!

Will you make any use of the Cryst?:
As always this answer is yes! I adore all three of my current Crysts [and even the one in making which brings me to four] and I will always be writing and thinking of him. I have recently been ordering art of them all as well [still need to show off in the fanclub] and I love all my babes dearly. He will be more developed and RPs will be searched for.

Personality:
playful || kitish || humerous || light-hearted || gentle || kind || spirited || joyful || helpful || adventerous
Dalante is a spirit of joy and playfulness. He is a fun and adventerous Cryst that loves to go on all sort of ventures and travels from place to place, never really staying in one place. He enjoys being outdoor and can never seem to sit still, always moving and having fun. He is certainly a big ball of sunshine that likes to see the bright side of life, almost ignoring anything not pleasent to a fault. He tries to be helpful and approchable to everyone, willing to let anyone vent or rant however or whenever they wish. He is a big family person and adores all cubs and small Crysts in general and is a big chilverous ball of sunshine and is very flirty and likes to make friends with everyone. Dalante is also a very accepting and non-judgemental Cryst as he does not like being judged himself, especially on account of him being homosexual [panromantic].

History:
Like an any other Cryst Dalante was born and raised in a small group by two loving parents. Like he is now he was as a child. A large ball of rolling and tussling and playful fun he was the center of his small group's love since he was such a fun and joyful soul to watch and he loved to include everyone. What he received from those older than himself he gave back to the few that were younger. He tried his best to keep everyone happy and was quite successful. Being the only son of the "leader" of the loose group he was quite valued and his good nature only made everyone love him all the more. As a child Dalante soaked up the attention and it only made him more happy and out going. He adored seeing everyone and talking to everyone in the group and was a huge hit with the young ladies.

As he grew nothing really changed, Dalante stayed a happy and fun loving young adult, although he matured, loosing some of his more outrageous tendencies and mellows out slightly. He spent a lot of time following his parents, his mother especially as he identified greatly with her kind and gentle ways versus his father's stern ruling nature. He became a bit of a mother's boy and formed a great love of nature and mysteries while in her care. Everyday they would go out for hunts and walks together, talking about various things from his mother teaching him about herbs to the newest and best gossip in the group. They became very very close and it was because of this that he was a little blind sided when his father stepped down from his leadership and handed the group over to Dalante's protection.

While he would have loved to stay and help the group Dalante had never been the leading type and so ran away. He spent a few weeks on the run, feeling guilty for sneaking away in the dark of night, but also feeling free as he no longer had the title of leader's son or the responsibility of having to lead.

Dalante came to love this feeling of moving around and so while he would find small groups every now and then he never stayed with them long, always sneaking away in the middle of the night a few weeks after showing up and heading off to some new destination that he never planned, letting his paws take him where ever destiny planned.

(I hope this isn't spamming, and I apologize if it is, as I didn't know beforehand.)

I did not win the Cryst I tried out for last time. Could I please get a PM from one of the mods/judges here explaining exactly what I should change or add to my form to improve it? I followed all of Skritnaja's suggestions in last round, so I'm a little confused as to why I didn't win...
Not complaining or anything - I just legitimately want to improve and better my form.

Why Do You Want This Cryst? What Will You Use it For?
Yes, I will! I will use him in stories and with my other Crysts, which I will list below.
Chione, Caerwyn, Arjun, and Chanlyeya; Pardes and Mikah; Semantic Morphology; Lilach; Maggie; Ethylene; and Prudence
I will also try my best to get art of him, as he's simply gorgeous.
Seeing that this sweetheart already has a mate (she can be seen below), I would love to go through with the breeding if his mate's owner agrees.

After failing to attain the Cryst in Pen #1 for three consecutive rounds, I decided to just move on to a different Cryst. I realized that the reason I wasn't pouring my entire heart into him was, while I thought he was a gorgeous boy, I didn't love him as much as I loved this sweetie here. From the first time I saw him in the pens I wanted to adopt him, but I decided to try my hand for the one in Pen #1 first, thinking that he wouldn't be tied down with a mate. That's when I realized that I didn't care that this guy had mate - in fact, that made him all the more alluring to me! These are the reasons why, after three consecutive tries, I could not attain the Cryst in Pen #1, I decided to try for this beauty right here.

As for why I was drawn to him in the first place, well, let me tell you about this awesome dude. With that beautiful red-brown base and the slightly darker brown overtop it, this boy seems ordinary at first glance. Then, when I looked closer at the white markings, I found them to be intricate and delicate-looking...but not fragile in the least. This boy still looks strong and powerful, but also looks very sweet and calm at the same time. Anyways, back to his actual design. The white markings remind me a bit of Henna, which is a type of temporary tattooing that is slowly becoming more popular in the USA. This boy's absolutely GORGEOUS crystals were what sealed the deal, though. Even though I loved his design all ready, after taking a look at those beautiful crystals that just so happened to match his eyes, I fell in love with this guy. The gorgeous bright amber really contrasts against the slightly paler orange and the dark yellow in the crystals - they look so beautiful and brightly-colored; I just love them! As previously mentioned, his eyes are a pale orange and really do compliment his overall design beautifully.

Personality:
Steadfast - Traditional - Reserved - Confident - Content - Logical - Calm - Patient - Serious - Great Decision Maker - Strong in his Beliefs - Dances to His Own Beat - Still Waters Run Deep - Not Really Social, but Not Anti-Social - Prefers to be Alone

Coeur is steadfast, and doesn't budge when it comes to the things that matter to him. Be that his morals, personal beliefs, or his love for others, he won't be moved, no matter what others try to say about him. He is very strong in his beliefs, and doesn't take any flack about them from anyone. He loves others deeply, with sincerity that isn't seen very often in his world. If someone tries to contradict what he knows is right, he'll stand his ground and will never give up - even if it means losing someone's trust in an argument. He has lost "friends" before to arguments such as certain ones where he knew he was right and the other Cryst was wrong, but he stood his ground and ended up winning the battle...but he lost his "friends," whom he later realized were never his friends to begin with. Because of this, Coeur tends to be a loner. He doesn't really get along well with others, as he is easily annoyed by most Crysts he meets. He's certainly not the most social Cryst, and you probably won't find him around a large group of Crysts, at the center of attention. It's just not his style.

Coeur is reserved, but confident - he walks with his head held high. He is not only confident, but also content, feeling glad with what he has, and rarely yearning for more material possessions. He is an excellent decision maker, and he tends to always pick the better of two options, no matter what they may be.

Coeur definitely doesn't take others' opinions of him as valid...at least, he doesn't most of the time. He doesn't care if someone disagrees with him or badgers him to stop doing something he knows is right - he'll just continue to do what he needs to do, and tends to not listen to the haters. This ties back to his opinion that other Crysts aren't worth dealing with, as most aren't open to listening to what he has to say. Coeur may be quiet by nature, but he'll speak up if he needs to. He's very intelligent and loves to converse with other Crysts, though most of the time they're not very willing to talk to him due to his "weird" beliefs. He mainly focuses on the logical side of things and tends to focus on details...though he can also be emotional. This balance of logic and emotion helps him get closer to his mate, the one Cryst whom he can actually tolerate and love.

Coeur is very calm, and rarely loses his temper. He is very patient, as he doesn't get frustrated with others easily. He tries his hardest to be understanding and kind to those who are less intelligent than he, as he knows that no one likes to be made fun of. However, he will still get annoyed with most Crysts who ask him annoying questions or badger him once he's all ready given them an answer. He hates Crysts that hound him relentlessly, and will often snap at them if they continue to annoy him after he's made his position clearly known.

He tends to lean more towards the serious side of the spectrum between joking and serious - he isn't a prankster and doesn't crack jokes, though he will laugh at them if he finds them funny...unfortunately, these times are few and far between. He rarely laughs, and doesn't generally smile a lot. However, he has often been seen with his mate smiling and laughing - she seems to be the only one who can actually illicit this attitude from him. His eyes often show what he's feeling more than his outward expression will, as his eyes are very expressive. Anyone who focuses on them will clearly see what he's thinking about, or at least be able to tell what his emotional state is at that moment. Because of this, his eyes are his least favorite part of his body. He feels that they betray what he is really thinking when, should he not have had such expressive eyes, his true emotions and thoughts wouldn't be seen at all.

Coeur seems to balance his mate out very well. She is aggressive, frank, straightforward, bold, strong-willed, and snarky - pretty much everything Coeur is not. However, these attributes only make Coeur love his mate even more, as because she is so different from him, they really complement each other well. They are the perfect pair of opposites, both harmoniously working together to make their relationship work well.
