Life is a deck of cards, ominous and unsuspecting but easily manipulated
therefore I ask you,
═════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════Username;; Lyrastarbirbs
Hey! My username is as above, lyrastarbirbs! It probably sounds really weird but it's basically a huge combination of all my previous usernames. (Lyra Heartstrings, Starbucks. and Birb.) I joined plumerians in early march and I've loved the community ever since. I've seen and liked a lot of plumerians but this one has been a dream to me and I hope to earn them as well as wishing anyone competing a good luck. anyway, since you aren't here to learn about me and you are to learn about the character I have created for this plumerian, I'll move on to that.
Name;; Vanessa
Although many don't come to know it, Vanessa is this plumerians name. It was not, however from birth. As born, Vanessa was in place with another name and identity. It was a meaningful name but not at all a desired or fitting name. To her it seemed to be a name that that would taunt and jab at her every time it was said. Apon leaving the pit of hell her old life was and entering her new, equally bad situation, she changed her name to better fit her new lifestyle and thoughts. Though it's meaning does not give any meaning and neither does it's background, it's her name and she's much more content with it than she was her last.
Gender;; Cisgendered female
Vanessa has never come to question the identity of her gender, but she does consider the fact of where she lives and how it has many more disadvantages than anything else. Vanessa usually tends to get unwanted attention from male and sometimes female plumerians. She has, several times been harassed and even once been ganged up on and followed. Although she has been caught up in bad and scary situations, she has not once been caught by anyone.
sexuality;; Demiromantic Homosexual
Vanessa has an extremely hard time making emotional connections with other plumerians alike to her, probably coming from the fact that she has trouble experiencing them on her own. She dosen't really have any freinds as well, and being gay, that just makes it all the more harder for her to be in a romantic relationship. She has been in relationships before, but never has she actually felt anything in them.

>>your eyes?
The flashing lights that seemed as if they were coming to Harass you, and the methodical chirps and dings of the machines all around the the casino would not be complete as an atmosphere without the shady plumerians lurking around the hallways and such. Vanessa, being among one of those plumerians had been suprised to be talking to another of her kind this late at night. At this time plumerians had started to become weary of people like her. She had caught him off guard and it was clear that he was extremely uncomftorbale in this such situation, but she had been pulling a good act of not knowing what she was doing. As the plumerian she did not know the appearance of through her thick hair that covered her face spoke in their nervous, rambly manner, she took time picking the weaknesses and strengths of his character through his voice. After listening to what he had to say for a tedious five minutes, she decided she had heard enough and that she would ask the plumerian the question she had been waiting to ask. "Do you want to play a game of cards? The winner gets everything in the other persons wallet." She said as she grinned and slid her hand into her pocket, pulling out a worn deck of cards.
Although it wasn't visible to her, the plumerian had for once a look of concern in her favor. For a while, she didn't hear anything as they seemed to be contemplating the question. Covering her eyes to them seemed as if it would create a extremely large disadvantage on their part, when in reality it plays a completely different way from her. She puts on the act of not knowing what she's doing to get people to play her little game of cards. Being sightless, Vanessa has come to learn every tiny chip and scratch in her deck to the card. She has mastered every game you can play with a simple deck of cards through the many years she has been doing this. "Sure." The plumerian who was sitting aside from her finally spoke. The smirk that seemed to be permanent on her face widened back to a grin as she laid out the cards in front of her.
As their game progressed, the male plumerian had realized the mistake he had made. Nothing, not even the slightest hint of thought or emotion could be seen in her as she played each card after another, landing him in deeper trouble each time. Her everlasting smirk was all that could be seen as her eyes, the very pathways to her thought and emotion were covered. In the end, her opponent had made a terrible mistake and she had caught him, winning the game and walking away through the silent city streets with more money than she had, won by her usual regimen of trickery and deceit.

>>
Vanessa was never supposed to be born in this world, she was nothing more than a mistake from a careless mother. From the beginning, she made that clear to her child, treating her poorly compared to her sibling and even going as far to tell her that she wasn't supposed to come from the father that she did. She had even at times been budgeted on her meals out when her sister was not. In all, she wasn't cared for or parented properly and that ended up leading to her bad sense of charecter and corrupt ideals now. Although she wasn't cared for by her mother, she was treated to things such has expensive bows and necklaces as to keep the image of her mothers rich family as it was. Because of this severe neglect and frustration Vanessa was forced to endure through her childhood years, she was a very problematic child, especially towards her mother. Because of this, she was often screamed and yelled at, and later in her life put in therapy. All the ways she had been wronged in life added to her aching depression like piling bricks and it would come out in angry outbursts. Although she had been troubled, it wasn't untuil she was 14 the dark twist on her life took place. Many times she would take the elevator down from the penthouse her family lived in out of her sadness and anger towards them. She would try what she could do to calm down and walk the city streets alone, often times crying. There is where she encountered gangs, shady people and stalkers. Eventually, through her susceptible nature and the fact that she had not have been taught any moral values, she became one of then. When her family figured out, she decided she would just slip out of town with their money she would get with the skills she now had. She journeyed a long way since then and she now lives in Las Vegas, scamming plumerians out of their money every night at casinos.space

A few nights after Vanessa had gotten settled in her new home and bought her small apartement in the city, stowing away all of the money she had taken inside, she found the animal that would bring her the only love she's ever felt. This cat was probably the only happiness or emotional connection she has had, and they have brung to her her only set of moral values. She came to own the cat as she walked down the city streets at night, as she had all too long ago at her old living space. She had been carrying home leftovers from the casino (along with her nights pay) as she heard a meow come from behind her. She looked back to see two glowing eyes making their way towards her. The cat was clearly coming for her food, and there wasnt much left at all; in fact, she got the food to go in an excuse to leave a bad situation. She frowned as she saw it's skinny body and as she remembered not eating in restaurants with the rest of her family. With the small amount of emotion she had left in her, she set the box down with the lid open for the small animal. The two had met up in the alley she took home on several occasions and they had come to have a bond over the time. It was such a new and rewarding feeling to vanessa when the cat came to trust her enough to be stroked. Over time, the animal started to follow her home and they now spend their time in her apartment as her pet. Although, since they are still a stray and wild cat, they dont act quite much like mine or yours. They are often out of the apartment and can be for days on end before returning.space

I'm a non-owner, and this is my first time trying out for a Plumerian (:
Name:
Kamilla
Gender:
Female
Why do they cover their eyes?
- Kamilla's POV -
I'm afraid. I'm afraid of what I can see. What's on the outside.
Everywhere I looked with my eyes, I saw suffering. A world where no one has any faith.
Not anymore.
I couldn't bare it. To watch, hopeless. I couldn't do anything. I couldn't try.
They ask me why I cover up my eyes.
I can never have a conversation without that question.
And I tell them that the world seems like a better place when you can't see.
You can hear. But with no sight, it doesn't feel real.
You can smell. But with no sight, how can you know what you are smelling?
When I cover up my eyes, I'm in my own little world.
I don't have to watch living beings suffer. Just because of one selfish act.
I can imagine that the world is a better place.
With no sight, I can create. I can imagine.
I can create my own fantasy. I can imagine my own destiny.
With no sight, I can be free.
Kamilla covers up her eyes because she is afraid of what the world has become. Bad things are everything. Happening every second. Poverty. Animal Cruelty. The worst thing for Kamilla is that she can't do anything about it. Kamilla has a tragic backstory, and by covering up her eyes Kamilla doesn't have to see the things which she wishes to stay hidden.

Username: howlingtothestars
Name: Ananta (means everlasting in Bengalian)
Gender: female
Why do they cover their eyes? Ananta has Temporal dysplasia (TD for short) which means that she cannot tell how much time has passed. If she were to see a new object, it would become instantly familiar as though she had known it her whole life. Because of this, Ananta has decided to cover her eyes to keep people from believing her to be a murderer or criminal. If she were to see a crime scene or hear of a deceased friend or relative, she would never be able to feel emotion towards it, in fact, it would seem to most that she doesn't care.

Gender:
Female
Why do they cover their eyes?
"It...... Hurt....... No...... It didn't just hurt..... It burned, though not in the same way fire does.... It was a different type of burning..." Elegante mumbled, shivering slightly as she recalled the memory that she simply couldn't let go. "This pain..... This... This... Burning.... Was the type of burning chemicals do when they hit flesh.... I made such a stupid mistake.... If I hadn't been so foolish, I would still have my eyes..." She sighed, speaking to a mirror she could not see. Elegante put a paw against the place where her right eye would be, but instead of feeling an eye, all she felt was scarred, closed eye lids. "I still remember the feeling. Chemicals slowly breaking down my eyes..... They didn't finish the job, though." Elegante shivered from imaginary pain. "I had to have them removed..... I couldn't live with the broken eyes the chemicals gave me. I just couldn't." The Plumerian continued to speak to the mirror. "I had them removed, but I don't dare show the hideous scars that still remain. I use my hair to cover up those vile marks, and I promise, no one will ever see them. Not even I..." Her words drifted off as she began to walk away from the mirror. The mirror was such a comfort when she needed to speak, even if it couldn't answer her words. The mirror would always listen.
