I'm not sure how many people know this, but back in the days your parents lived, March 1st is the day you give flowers to your mother. To all of the women with children out there, they probably think it's the sweetest thing ever. wip

Asbel

Male

Asbel had a wonderful, loving friendship with his younger playmate, Sophia. Often missing from their daily chores in town, you could find the two skipping rocks across a hidden creek or climbing throughout the plum trees, scattering pinkish petals with every branch. Sophia had a habit of collecting pretty items and sharing half of them with Asbel no matter how small they were.
It was the day before Asbel was to leave the country to start his life as an apprentice of his family's trade. Sophia tugged on his ear leading him to her special treasure she had found not far from their usual spot. He playfully pushed her off of his ear and stared in awe, Sophie squealed in delight when she saw her treasure was just where she left it. A small pair of strangely colored feather, not that much bigger than a paw. "Aren't they pretty Asbel? Here, you have one." she happily cooed, tying one of the feathers to a silver string, and began wrapping it around his ear. He nodded and shook his head, watching the feather dangle from his ear, "How does it look?". Sophia smiled and began tying the other around her neck,"It looks like your hair Asbel. Maybe the bird it belonged to looked like you." she giggled and pawed at the new item around her neck, "There. This will be our special treasure, showing we'll be friends forever. Right?" Asbel laughed and ruffled Sophia's hair, "Of course! I'll wear it always, even after I leave." Sophia shined with happiness and pawed at his ear, "Well then let's go! I heard there was some shiny rocks by the creek today!" she squealed and ran off with Asbel bounding after her.
When he left the country the next day, Asbel would occasionally shake the feather hanging from his ear. Reminding himself that he'll see Sophia again, they might not be kids next time they meet, but the two still be best friends.

Name:
This Mako's name is Keena.
Gender:
Keena is a female.

Reason For the Feather:
In Keena's family, there's a tradition where, on a child's fifth birthday, they were given a small feather that gave them an admirable trait to live up to when they grew up. When she was younger, Keena had an older brother. She remembered, before she was five, watching him get his feather. His feather was for courage. Keena remember' admiring him so much. She was a but of a coward herself... Having a feather like courage would've been the coolest thing ever.
However, just before her own fifth birthday, Keena's brother was in an accident. He was caught in an abandoned fishing net and drowned. Keena was absolutely devastated. The only thing they'd recovered of him was his courage feather.
Keena wanted to find some way to honor her fallen brother whom she honored very much. So, on her fifth birthday, she requested to have his courage feather. Everyone was confused at first, yes, but... She explained that she simply wanted to remember him, and she got the feather. The strings around her tail or neck would've held her own feather, but she decided to tie her brother's feather around her ear instead. Since then, Keena has taken the trait from the feather upon herself, and has been trying ever since to become courageous. Not for herself, but for her fallen brother.

Her Feather Story:

It had been a bright clear morning on the day Sona wandered away from her mother in the early morning hours. All had been peaceful and quiet as she walked through a field with a few small rolling hills. Not long after she heard faint shuffling close behind her, ignoring it she continued, to content with her own adventure, a large black bird flew overhead. Suddenly the shuffling became pounding and a large bear-like animal bounded towards her, claws outstretched and teeth gleaming. She cried out taking a few rushed stumbling steps backwards,

"Mummy!" She screamed in terror, the joy of her independent escape lost now. She heard a screech as the black bird from before dove down, she squeezed her eyes closed...now a bird too? She though, but the bird didn't attack her, it landed in front of her. The bird... was a Phoenix the tips of his feathers covered in licks of blazing blue flame.

"This child isn't yours," The phoenix cawed, "leave," he demanded as the flames began to flick off in sparks, with a discontented roar the bear lumbered off. The large phoenix turned to her,

"T-Thank you," She muttered softly, her normally spirited attitude gone and her eyes glossy with tears, she looked up as a soft breeze flitted through the air, "Why'd you do that for me?" He was a bird, she had seen her mother hunt many birds, never giving it a thought, why should she have?

He smiled, "It's a lucky thing to live, you have a lot more of that left to do. you are only young, sometimes others need a bit of help" He turned picking up a single purplish ember-colored feather that had fallen in his haste and placing it on Sona, She stared up in awe at the bird. "Remember me and remember this," He soon took off leaving a young and tired Sona speechless, thinking of his words, he made her want to be strong, but not the strong that made others scared, or sent her behind her mother tail between her legs... A strong she didn't yet have the word to describe but she would... merciful.

{ Whats up with the feather? }

Athena is a bird keeper, she keeps a collection of feathers from the past birds she had owned - the ones within her hair are from a Lyrebird, a very interesting bird that mimics noises it hears within it's surroundings.
Sadly, the bird was accidentally shot down after flying off during a party that was taken to her house - despite her protests. She took the feathers of her Lyrebird from her collection and kept it within her hair, not letting anyone touch her hair - especially the feathers - because she wants to still have her friend close by.

Evalynn, or Eve for short, once wondered into the woods. This particular forest was rumored to be haunted, and most people were afraid. This little gal, being the creative, and persistent little devil she is, Decided she was going to go into them, and show everyone once and for all that they were normal. She walked confidently past the brush surrounding the wood, admiring the tall, stark birch trees as she passed by them; her paws making barely as sound in the fallen, orange and green leaves of Autumn. "Told you!" She barked towards her friend (Insert name here, looking for someone. Male preferably), as a sudden wind stirred the leaves around her. A shaft of light illuminated a small circle a mere 3 feet in front of the young mako, causing her eyes to snap forward in surprise. "What...?" She mumbled to herself, moving slowly into the light and looking up into the circle of missing leaves from the center of the otherwise perfect birch tree. For some reason, it's leaves hadn't fallen, despite all the others around it shedding they're leaves for winter. A small, pinkish feather floated slowly down, landing and balancing on the center of her upturned nose. She hesitantly crossed her eyes to look at the pretty specimen, only for it to drift down right onto the top of her paws. Seemingly content, she brought it home and attached it to her left ear with silver twine, and hasn't let it out of her sight since. The fable, as her dream had once predicted, appeared out of nowhere, and was unexpected. She believes it may have come from an unknown species of bird, which causes her to be an avid birdwatcher even now. She hopes to be able to one day find the species of bird that lost the feather, maybe even give it a name, if it doesn't have one already.
