Shugorei Name: Revelle
Pronunciation: re-v-ell
Gender: Female
Affinity: Pure
Status: Single and enjoying it for the time being
Favorite Pastime: Dusk, when she can sit by a waterfront and drink hot tea, or sake. Was mistaken for a bakeneko once when she was in Japan.
Personality: Rei, her short nickname, is more than just a demure, sweet-tempered Shugorei. Quick, cunning, and sly, she has a silver-tongue and can easily maneuver any conversation around. This Shugorei loves the stage, and she's the director. When she need's to put on a show, boy can she put on a show. It won't be until the end that realize you've fallen into her cunning little traps. For surely there was more than one.
However, Rei takes romance very seriously, and constantly frets over whether she'll find love. She often takes her worries into nature, where she likes to listen to the birds or watch the bugs march away on their missions.

Story of how you met your Shugorei:

It was a rather warm, spring morning. To be specific; it was June the 12th, on a Monday, at exactly half past nine with only 13 seconds till 9:31. But who was counting?
Any how, back to our marvelous tale of how we encountered one another.

I first met Revelle when I was down by the port in a small village. City more like, but village seems more homey. I had just returned from a rather arduous journey from Ireland and had picked up a thick Irish brogue, much to my surprise. So when I spotted the sleek female Shugorei, watching the water float lazily by, I waltzed up to her side and sat beside her. Of course, the first thing out of my mouth was a rather Irish 'Afternoon', which was swiftly followed by a question about the weather.
Oh they could write ballads at my great conversational skills.
The Shugorei, as prim as ever, turned her dainty head towards me and flashed me a wicked smile that set me flushed and grinning like an idiot right on back. "Hello. Yes, the weather is indeed spectacular today. I hope it last through tomorrow." She said, almost wistfully. I laughed.
"Perhaps. But you know the countryside here, I take it. Weather sweeter than honey one minute, then as nasty as soured milk the next." The Shugorei cocked her head curiously, puzzling over the analogy. At last, that dazzling smile broke across her face once more and I felt myself melt a little into the grass. "Oh what splendid words! You must be a writer! Perhaps... a screen director?" She asked, excitement bubbling up beneath her. I raised my hands in mock surrender, startled, but pleasantly surprised at her joy. "No miss. I'm an information gatherer. I gather information here and there and sell it for whatever's available. A roof, a meal, or new clothes. You name it." I said, proud. The sShugorei wilted a little, and I couldn't help but feel as if I had failed some kind of test.
Everyone, meet my conversation skills. Not the best of friends, they and I.
On another note, as the Shugorei stood there, her pout growing, an idea came to me. "What of this! You seem to have an affinity for the stage and rat of acting. Why don't I see if I can gather information about a troupe? An acting troupe. Maybe they will be willing to take on a pretty Shugorei like you." I said, feeling proud at my idea. The Shugorei looked up, warmth and something else in her eyes. Triumph?
"That sounds fantastic! Do you mind if tag along?"


Thus, I set off with my new companion, unaware just how much trouble that pretty girl would bring me.
To be honest, it was a short meeting, that lasted only a few minutes. However, it felt like an eternity to me.

Story of how you met your Shugorei:
It was the day when me and my sister, Rain, got kicked out of the orphanage to fend for our selves. We had become too old to stay there, there was no chance we would be adopted at the age we were at. We had nothing but the clothes on our backs and a loaf of bread each. I was so scared, but that was only the beginning. Why did she do it? Why did she leave me?
We found an abandoned home to stay in for our first night away from the orphanage. We had walked around, asking for jobs wherever we could all day, but no one wanted us. We laid down and I dosed off, long before Rain did. I never should have closed my eyes though. I awoke the next morning alone. The place where my sister slept was cold, and my loaf of bread was gone. She had got up and left in the middle of the night, thinking I would slow her down and so she left me there, with nothing but the clothing I wore on my back.
I was shocked. We were sisters, yet she left me to fend for myself and took the only food I had. I would never trust her again after this time and I would create for myself a new life. I walked around the next day, alone, searching for someone to give me a job, any kind of job that I could handle, but nobody would accept me, nobody believed I was capable of working.
I walked back to the abandoned home, feeling defeated. All I had managed to get that day was some scraps thrown away by the baker and a tattered blanket to wrap around myself that that. I huddled into a corner, hiding from the wind and cold, the blanket wrapped tightly around me. I had tears running down my cheeks at the thought of being alone, at the thought of all the creatures running around outside, ready to strike at any time.
I stayed huddled in the corner until I saw a light flickering across the floor. I knew it was dark and so I had no idea where the light would be coming from, so I looked up, afraid of what I might find. In front of me was a cat. It was a bit bigger than a house cat, but not as big as a wild cat. She had white fur, with gray patches and even darker gray stripes. She wore beads around her neck, gold cuffs on her front legs, earrings and tassels. The light I had saw came from a lantern that she carried.
"Don't be afraid." she spoke with a kind and worried expression on her face. "You are not alone, I'm your Shugorei, Nekkara." she smiled at me. Her voice had calmed me as it was melodious and smooth. I sniffed and gave her a small smile, the best I could at the time, being left all alone the way I was. She came closer and snuggled next to me until I let her snuggle under the blanket with me, keeping me a little warmer that night.

Favourite...
Flower: Amaryllis
Activity: Gardening
Season: Spring
Color: Green
Fabric: Silk
Time of Day: Morning
Kind of Weather: Misty
Food: Moon Cake
Drink: Mint Tea
Reason For Name (Continued):
For Nekkara, Nature doesn't only mean the
plants, animals and growing, but also
the nature of things and how and why
they do what they do, the nature of earth
and why it is, what it is. The nature of life
and how it works. Human nature and why
we do what we do. The list could go on and
on, but I shall leave at that for now.
~+~
Reason For Name:
By Nature I was brought into this world,
By Nature I will leave.
By Nature I became Clover's,
By Nature she loved me.
By Nature I am a guardian,
By Nature she is my protection.
By Nature we will meet fate,
Together for eternity.
~+~

Nekkara's POV:
I only had to close my eyes for a second before everything went down hill for my protection. I followed her and her sister down the street after they were forced out of the orphanage. I could sense a dark aura around the two, but I had no idea what the cause was. If only I had known what was about to come for Clover.
I watched sadly as they tried their hardest to get jobs, but no warm hearts accepted them or their pleas. I felt to helpless at that time, all I wanted to do was help them, but I could not show myself yet. so I continued to possible, looking for any possible way to help them.
I felt defeated as I followed them to the abandoned home. What a sad sight that night, them all huddled up and cold. I laid down to rest nearby, trying not to fall asleep, but fatigue took me anyways. I awoke and growled. Rain had gotten up and left, she even took the loaf of bread that was given to Clover. How cruel people can become when helpless. I watched sadly as Clover woke up to the shocking realization and went to hunt for work by herself.
That night she was once again in the abandoned house, alone this time. She huddled in the corner with a blanket she found wrapped tightly around her and she cried. I closed my eyes, trying to hold back the tears and I knew it was time for me to show myself to her. I walked over in the darn of night, my lamp making light flicker along the crumbling walls. Clover looked up me, fear and curiosity in her eyes.
"Don't be afraid." I spoke to her. "You are not alone, I'm your Shugorei, Nekkara." My voice seemed to have calmed her, as she gave me a small smile, even though she was in so much pain. I walked over and snuggled up against her, rubbing my head against her arm to warm her and comfort her. She soon let me under the blanket with her and I kept her warm and safe that night, not only from the physical danger, but also the mental danger and pain.

The Seedling
My name is .Seijuu::. , and I am under this guardian's guidance.
The Shugorei
Hunnaka
Her voice is gentle, almost whispy.
She's says it much like Hannuka...
but with a peculiar accent.
Adament on how she spells her name,
I've learned the proper ways.
Gender
Two women bound together for eternity.
She says woman Shugorei are more suited for the wandering soul anyway.
Affinity
She is more pure than a child, supposedly born of sin.
My heart is not gold, it isn't cold or perfect; it's soft and mold-able.
Hunnaka makes me pure; she shapes me as is needed.

WINNER! Judging was hard. it was down between Shiko & NARANDA since their forms were the only ones finished. I liked Revelle's personality a lot, along with the story.
