Name: Padma
Name Meaning: lotus flower
Gender: Female
Personality:
Padma is bright and cheerful, but she is also kind and soft-spoken. She's always there to lend a helping claw if it's needed, but she can be shy around new people and WtDs. She's an introvert until she really gets to know you, then she's an open book. Just don't betray her, because her trust in everyone will shatter if someone hurts her in any way. If she tells you her history (a closely guarded secret that few know), you had better believe she will know if you tell someone. She may be kind and fragile, but she's extremely careful who she tells about her past. She can also have a tiny temper. It's really hard to make her mad, but she can be ruthless when angry.
History(329 words):
Before Padma was even born, her mother decided she didn't want her. Once she had given birth, Padma's mother used her strong tail to toss her unnamed daughter into the nearby pond. She soon left, unwilling to watch her daughter drown despite her unwarranted hate. She was eaten by guilt as she walked away, but she had already made a decision and would not turn back.
Padma struggled to reach the surface, her legs flailing desperately for help. With a last ounce of untraceable strength, she pulled herself onto the shore. She curled up, shivering because of her wet fluff. She slept there, her fluff drying itself after a long while. When she woke up, the first thing she ever saw was a lotus flower blooming before her.
She never once understood why she was alone and she never knew why her mother had left her.

Years later, Padma had found a place where she was around others. But ever since she had been a young Fluffie, she had not trusted anyone but herself. She learned to speak by listening to them talking and laughing with one another. Her voice sounded strange at first, having not been used for many years as she was growing.
She stayed distant, making few friends because of her shy nature and broken trust. She told only one or two friends of her history after she had known them for many years. Padma was still excluding herself from large social gatherings, nervous to be around any WtDs she didn't know and couldn't trust. Actually, most of her friends she made after helping them rather than meeting them in a public setting.
She has since been found by an adoption agency and placed up for adoption. She hangs back in the shadows of her cage, nervous about meeting new people everyday. Yet some are persistent, coming back daily in hopes that they will gain her trust and be able to take her home with them.
Extras:
Padma: The Lotus Flower
Like a lotus flower's start
her's was not
one of which to be proud.
From water to the blue
of sky lives a
fragile beauty, lost in time.
Though she starts out
pale and weak
and in darkness trapped,
new strength within
the light of
coming dawn is found.
Brought to show
beauty and
new life symbolize,
though dreary start be had,
she shall come
anew despite it all.
