Xholi name:
Tensi, a Welsh name meaning 'Warmth from the sun'. I found that this was perfect for a pupsitter, as someone who cares for pups should give some sort of warmth to the pups. Plus, her gem is in the shape of a sun.

How/why were they named:
It was a scorching hot day, hotter than most Xholis of the Dawn Moto pack could remember, when a scout and gatherer were given their newborn pups by the shaman. One stood out more than the other. The developing gem on one of the pups' side shone and glittered intensely in the sun, causing her parents to flinch and cringe. The gem created an almost blinding light as it reflected the sun's light. As the parents began to plan out what to name their pups during the next few days, it became clear that the one with the sun-shaped gem adored the heat. It would play and relax wherever the sun shone, and would squeal in protest when it was put in the shade.

The parents agreed on the perfect name for this sun-loving pup; Tensi, 'Warmth from the sun.'

Extra:

Her Personality;
Tensi is an odd choice for a savant, but there's no doubt in anyone's mind that she knows what she's doing. She is playful, energetic, and somewhat childish, often found playing games alongside the pups that she's watching or cracking silly jokes. This Xholi is filled with determination and spunk, who loves to prove the ones who think negatively of her wrong. Yet despite these traits, she bares a great motherly instinct over the pups when activated. If they are playing too rough, she will immediately leap in and stop it, fearful of them breaking their gems. If they are sick or injured, she will fret over them as if she were their real mother. It appears like her main job is to tire out the pups so the rest of the sitters can more easily do their jobs of getting the pups to sleep or telling them stories.

Xholi name:
Eldora [Spanish origin, meaning "Gift of the Sun"]
How/why were they named:
"Tell us, Eldora!" The pups chanted as crawled upon their pupsitter. I chuckled and sighed, smiling. "Fine, fine, I'll tell you, but only if you be quiet." She told the little ones as they crawled off her back. They sat down in front of her, looking up to meet her gaze with interested eyes. "It was long, long ago." I began my tale, looking up at the sun above.
***
"Another day of rain?" A Xholi asked her mate. "Another day of rain." He replied, sighing as he sat down beside her. These words had been exchanged between the two everyday for the past few months. It was a miracle the dens hadn't flooded from all the rain. No one had seen the sun in ages, and it's all everyone wished to see, well, in the Dawn Clan, at least. I'm sure the Dusk clan deigned to see the moon just as much. Day after day, the rain poured on. No one knew what to make of it. Every prediction was wrong, and everyone started to think the sun and moon would never shine again. However, one day, a pup was born, that pup being me, of course. Why was that day significant? As my parents thought of a name, I managed to squirm my way out of the den. Just as I crawled out, the rain ceased, and the clouds began to part. The first ray of the sun shone upon me, and me only. The Xholi began to mumble things like, "The sun!", "The sun has shone for this pup!", and even, "The gift of the sun!" While searching for me in a panic, my parents rushed out of the den and saw the sight the whole pack saw; the shining sun high above, and most of it's light directed on me. My mother smiled. "My little one... You brought us the gift of the sun... My dear, dear Eldora." She whispered as she curled up around me.
***
"My father had no objections to the name, so now, it is what I go by today. Eldora, gift of the sun." I finished my story as the pups looked in awe. "You stopped a WHOLE storm all by yourself!? That's awesome!" One of them said, wagging it's tail like it had a tick. "I want to do that!" Another said, yipping happily. I smiled as I ushered them back into the den. "Hush, little ones, you'll have your chance one day." I chuckled as I curled up around them. "Now, I believe it's time for your mid-morning nap. Wouldn't want to anger your mother now, would we?" I asked, and they all nodded in unison before curling up to sleep.

Username: wildfur2202
Xholi name: Cream
How/why were they named: Cream was named after her creamy fur. Cream grew some other markings that were red as she grew and now they call her "Creamy Dawn", not just because of her markings, but because of her love for the Dawn(pack and the thing).


Her brother died recently, and after the death of her mother and father, she is grieving hard.

Officially closed, winners will be posted in the morning!

Our winner this time is Lioncourt for a unique take on the savant pupsitter. Instead of a warm mothering type, we have a sharper, more childish sitter that excels at her position because she is one of the pups.

Congratulations!
