@Sosna. ~ Congrats on the art of your Plumies! Those are some awesome pieces of art!
@Sly.Blue ~ Oh wow! That art of your Plumie looks amazing! I love the outfit he's in. :3
Who is your first plumerian? Are you happy you got them? Guilty?My first Plumerian is
Akinyi Taylor Zaman. She's my first and only still. XD I'm really happy that I got her, she was a RU to the plumie I was trying out for. ♥
How did you find the species?I've actually known about the species for a really long time, since CharChar2 first posted about them in the Character Adoption Addicts Anonymous thread where I am a member and mod. XD So...yeah. I've known about them for quite some time. XD
If you could own any two plumerians [one from main adopts, one from nursery] that weren't your own, who'd they be? How does your plumerian think of their father? What do they hate and love about him? What influence - literal or imagined - did the father have?Um...gosh...file this away under things that I literally never thought of. XD I don't know. I imagine that she loves him, whoever he may be. Honestly, me and the 2 users who own Akinyi's older sisters never talked about family life or anything like that. XD
Their mother? How do they think of her? What do they hate? Love? What influence - literal or imagined - did the mother have?Um...gosh...file this away under things that I literally never thought of too. XD I kinda imagine that her mom influenced Akinyi's love of music, especially country music, like my own mom did. XD
Brothers, sisters? Who do they like? Why? What do they despise about their siblings?Akinyi has two older sisters, September and Lumi (that's her nickname), and she loves both of her sisters, though she hasn't spoken to them in a really long time and doesn't even know if they're married and have children yet. She could be an aunt and not even know it. XD Or even a great aunt. XD
The only thing that she would despise is the lack of communication between them. She loves and misses her sisters and would really love to see them again.
What type of discipline was your plumerian subjected to at home? Strict? Lenient?Lenient I think? I dunno...Akinyi was allowed to go bother her neighbors if she wanted to. XD

Did they feel rejection or affection as a child?Affection.
What was the economic status of their family?I have no idea. Maybe middle class at best?
Is your plumerian street-smart, book-smart, intelligent, intellectual, slow-witted?Book smart and intelligent.
How do they see themselves: as smart, as intelligent, uneducated?Smart.
How does their education and intelligence – or lack thereof - reflect in their speech pattern, vocabulary, and pronunciations?She likes to use big words on ocassion, thought she tends to use them less because they seem to overwhelm people.
Did they like school? Teachers? Schoolmates?She likes school well-enough, she likes most of her teachers and schoolmates.
Were they involved at school? Sports? Clubs? Debate? Were they unconnected?She was a part of the FFA (Future Farmers of America), Theater, and...that's about it.
Did they graduate? High-School? College? Do they have a PHD? A GED?She has graduated high school and is in college right now, working towards and A/A degree.
What does your plumerian do for a living? How do they see their profession? What do they like about it? Dislike?Um...sings and plays guitar sometimes? Um...I dunno...she's probably going to end up being a music teacher or something. XD
Did they travel? Where? Why? When?Yes! She's traveled to go see concerts, especially those of her favorite artists like Taylor Swift.
What did they find abroad, and what did they remember?Um...the concerts and she got mementos. XD
What were your plumerian's deepest disillusions? In life? What are they now?Being a country music star, fame wasn't everything that she thought it would be. XD Um...now? School. Going back to school is hard than she thought it was going to be. XD
What were the most deeply impressive political or social, national or international, events that they experienced?Um...9/11. Um...pretty much the same stuff I've been through. Same natural disasters and political things. XD

Who are their friends? Lovers? 'Type' or 'ideal' partner?Friends? Um...she has some friends. Can't remember all their names. XD Lovers? Like...none. None of her RPs have gotten far enough for any guy to be considered a "lover" like...none of her RPs have even gotten to like...the first date. XD
Ideal partner? Someone with the same interests as her, a best friend, but also someone who is affectionate and loving and understanding.
What do they want from a partner? Everything I just kinda said. XD

What are their hobbies and interests?Hobbies: Playing guitar, Doctor Who, listening to music, singing, reading,
Interests: Doctor Who, country music,
What does your plumerian's home look like? Personal taste? Clothing? Hair? Appearance?Home? Her home? Probably than her bedroom when she was a child. XD Clothing? Um...varies. Sometimes wears dresses, but also quite partial to jeans and a flannel plaid long-sleeved shirt sometimes. XD Her hair is the same as in her ref. XD Um...appearance...pretty? XD
How do they relate to their appearance? How do they wear their clothing? Style? Quality?She wears her clothing...um...normally? I dunno. She doesn't wear grungy clothing or anything. Just...sorta and flattering to her body type. ^^;
