Keetins are small, agile mouse creatures that live within the trees of any forested climate in the world. They can't run very fast or fly, but they are terrific at leaping and climbing, despite their short limbs. These little guys tend to be tamed as companions and will often be seen riding their handler's shoulder, pockets or hiding in their hair. Keetins will never grow any larger than a squirrel, baby Keetins (called Kits) can be as small enough to fit in the palm of your hand. A Keetin's diet consists of their favourite food, Strawberries! However they are also seen eating other fruits and sometimes cakes.
A group of Keetins is called a Keetai (pronounced key-tie). They communicate through a series of small pips and mews.
When happy, a Keetin will release a scent from a gland inside it's ear, making it smell beautifully like strawberries.

This contest closes to new forms at 11:00 PM EST and then closes to form edits tomorrow ( September 4th ) at 12:00 PM EST.

Her Name: Monteria
Her Personality:
Innocent - Trusting - Friendly - Curious - Cuddle bug - Traveler

Monteria is the most innocent little sweetheart you could meet. She tends to find the good side of each situation, and hasn't found herself yet in anything that's really not that good. Her innocence has it's good sides and bad sides - she is able to be happy all the time, but she trusts a bit too easily. She has become lost before after following someone's directions, who were purposefully misleading her, and she not believing it was them. Monteria loves to make friends, and will often start up conversations just to make friends. She would protect her friends with all she has, though being a little rodent has an innate sense of self preservation that would come first. She can be a bit too curious at times though, and can seem a little nosy, but she just wants to know. She wants to know a lot about the universe, and will hunt for answers for silly little things, like why do butterfly wings have different colors and things like that. She's also a cuddle bug, and often looks to her friends for hugs - lots and lots of them. It might seem that she makes friends to get hugs, but that's not true. She makes friends to meet people, and hugs are an added bonus. How does she meet all her friends? Well, Monteria is a traveler, and moves on and on, seeing the world and meeting new people. She doesn't really have a permanent home, instead she's more nomadic, stowing away in human's backpacks or climbing on their shoulders.
How did she happen to obtain that little blue bow and why?:
Monteria's family has always been nomadic, traveling from place to place. She was always excited to move, see where they would go next. When she was eight, her family considered her old enough to chose where they were to go next. So, she chose going to ......... WIP

How many keetins?
None

Her Name:
Isole. This is a female, german name that means
"Rule of Ice" I believe it fits her.

Her Personality:
Isole is actually a really sweet and upbeat Keetin. She is very jubilant and always has a smile on her face no matter how hard times get. This is because she doesn't want anyone to worry about her, so she tries to keep a happy character so others won't come up to her and worry about her. She cares about everyone no matter what their previous actions are unless the actions are brutal and rude towards one of her loved ones. She is also adventurous, and believes if she tries her best she can conquer anything. She uses the story of the blue bow to prove this.

The little blue bow..
The little blue bow is simply a family tradition. It started many years ago when the first member of the family realized that their hobby was sewing and making articles of clothing. This soon became a family tradition, but the keetins don't actually make the bows themselves now. Just a few days before the first keetin of the Isole family died, they made a wish to keep this family tradition going, and this wish was sent to a few fairies in the forest. It was accepted, and has been a tradition ever since. The blue bows are made as soon as a new member of the family is born, but not given to the person receiving it until teen years. But Isole's aunt explained how she got the blue bow and it fascinated Isole. She eagerly wanted hers, and left on a cold winter night to find the forest where those fairies made the bows.
{You can see a much more detailed explanation of this in the story!~}

Contest Suggestion?
1. Maybe a comp where people guess things about you?
2. A Scavenger hunt for a specific symbol or item within other posts?
3. Maybe base a Keetin design off of a specific picture and
give hints to help the person find the image? c:
--Tell me if three suggestions aren't allowed, I'll delete two--


A Story:
"This little blue bow is a symbol of the peace and tranquility among our family, through blood or not." My aunt spoke softly, her soothing voice slowly taking my curiosity down as I started to understand the family tradition more and more. I had always admired this story, but tonight my aunt added more.. My aunt got to her paws and slowly turned her head towards the north. "Over those mountains and beyond, there is a forest with a path of blue crystals.. Fairies are alone in that forest, helping us continue this family tradition." I rose my head up high so I could look into the distance before speaking. "Auntie.. How long until I get my bow?" I stuttered, my face turning a little pink. My aunt let out a quiet giggle, gazing down at me. "Oh it'll be a long while my dear.. Now come on, lets get some sleep.." I nodded and curled up beside my aunt, her tail resting over me as a blanket. I closed my eyes and I instantly fell asleep. I was sent into a dream. I saw the beautiful and bright azure crystals lighting up the forest on the cold winter night. I heard a voice in the back of my mind. When the blue moon arises.. You will leave this land and go to the land of blue crystals.. Shocked, I opened my eyes quickly and turned my head a little bit, but slowly so I wouldn't awaken my aunt, who was deep in her slumber. Panting, I curled up in a small ball, whispering under my breath. "I have to.. its my destiny."

The next night, my aunt went to sleep early, which was perfect timing. I sat outside on a large rock, staring up at the sky as I analyzed the moon. Suddenly, the moon was slowly engulfed by a bright shade of blue. I gasped as the moon changed colors, and when the transformation finish, a bright blue light shined over the land of keetins. I smiled and got to my paws, glancing right and left multiple times before I turned and sprinted out of the area, my fur ruffling as a sudden cool breeze swept over me. A chill ran down my spine. This was odd, it was a fall night.. But little did I know, the blue moon symbolized an sudden winter night. A snowflake landed on my nose and I crossed my eyes to look at it. I then rose my head and within a few seconds, a blizzard started and the ground was layered with snow. I tread through the snow, slowly sinking into the snow as the snow piled up. I shivered, a tear running down my cheek from how cold it was. "S-so... cold.. I got.. to make it though.." I reached the mountains and rose my head up, my pupils dilating as I saw how tall the mountains were. "I have.. to climb.. t-these?" I clenched my teeth and looked down at the ground, taking a deep breath. "I'll.. get there!" I exclaimed before I charged ahead, using all my strength to run up the side of the mountain. I turned and looked at a cave, my eyes widening. I gasped and smiled to myself. "W-wait.." A blue aura was floating around a tree in the distant, and I laughed in joy, tears still running down my face. As I took a few more steps, my muscles grew weak. I collapsed, panting as snow almost buried me. I got to my feet and took the last few steps. I reached the top of them mountain and saw the forest, a blue path on the other side of the mountain leading down to it. I dove forward and slid down the hill on my belly. When I got to the bottom of the mountain, I took a few steps but collapsed, my vision slowly blurring.

When I woke up, many voices were heard and there wasn't anymore snow present, it was warm. I opened my eyes, trembling as I rose my head up. One of the fairies flew in front of my eye and spoke. "Guys! She's here! She's awake too!" I sat up and rubbed my face with my cold paws. "Eh? Why are you so surprised..?" Gasps were heard and soon fairies went left and right, but not towards me - towards two others they then let the two people through - they were my parents. I turned towards them, my pupils slowly shrinking. "Woah... M-mom.. d-dad.. don't get mad at me but.." They didn't welcome me with screaming in disgust, they welcomed me with a nice warm hug. "You.. you made it.. The fairies warned us of it when you were born but.. we didn't believe them.. you truly are the one." My mother turned towards the fairies. "Give her the blue bow, and put extra fairy dust on it." The fairies nodded and flew away to a large blue crystal with a hole drilled through it. A black thread was taken from a dress and ran through the blue crystal multiple times. When the blue ribbon was finished being made, the fairies flew back and tied it to my ear in a unique bow not every seen through out the family. I smiled proudly and stood up with my head rose high.

ＮＡＭＥ
Saraid

ＮＡＭＥ ＭＥＡＮＩＮＧ
"clear, bright" from celtic names of Ireland

ＰＥＲＳＯＮＡＬＩＴＹ
Saraid wants to be like all the other creatures of her type. It made little difficult, but in the end she did it. Nobody paid attention to the fact that she was blind. Although she couldn't distinguish colors, painting didn't give her much of a problem. She did everything she could to be able to share with the world what she sees. She was surrounded by darkness and heard voices on each side, itself surprised that she could stand it. By her childhood even a little afraid, but all managed to catch her imagination. She was a friendly keetin, which she laughed, joked, dating and went to parties. Like the others.

ＬＩＴＴＬＥ ＢＯＷ
While still a tiny oeuvre, she didn't like it, that she was all black and white. She loved the colors, delighted by the diversity of the world and saddened her that she isn't colorful. She wasn't in itself anything that stood out and reflected. One day, before she went blind, decided on this, what her favorite color is.. And although she didn't want to offend other colors, she chose blue. For more liked each other, got from his parents a tiny bow. Since that time she was a little more colorful. She also received several other bows, but by far the most frequently wore. On the next day he went blind. It was not clear why. She was devastated, but I was glad to see each other another, not faded.

ＳＴＯＲＹ
"My life"
At first Saraid she was very insecure and shy. She was staring at parents who very much cared about her. You can unfortunately say that it were limited. Finding friends became almost impossible when she couldn't with others virtually meet. Even more so when she lost her eyesight. She let her parents did what they wanted, didn't take any decisions itself considering that parents want her well. After a while she realized that it wouldn't should work. She had no one to whom she could spill the beans out of their parents. Nobody wanted to be friends with her, fearing parents. At the end of one word and they already might have screwed. When she was older to understand what she did wrong, she couldn't convince herself that it was the parents' fault. The others because of her blindness didn't want even to be carried out. But after a while it began to rebel. She didn't want to be limited by lack of vision and even by them. She began by escaping out of the house. Adapting to a world without any help she found a lot of difficulties, but .. but paid off! When she moved out, it was much easier. The new place, no one knew and could start from the beginning. She found several people who helped her with her disadvantage, without any limitation. She finally managed to function normally, but couldn't see anything. She met with others, cooked, took care of the house, painted. She could do what she wanted. Because it was her life, colorful but without colors.
