ღ name of astraline .: Arethusa :
ღ gender .: Female ♀ :
ღ a gif of a butterfly .ღ extra story .↠ recommended to be read with these two songs playing simultaneously : ♬ and ♪ ←She had clouds in her paws, the wind in her mane, and her eyes were like a grey city's rain.Such was the lightness of Arethusa's being, like the seventh octave of a piano. She carried herself with silent grace, a plain expression worn on her muzzle. When she walked the patterns on her haunches would stretch gracefully, like a butterfly unfurling from its cocoon, and the younger ones would watch in awe of her charming elegance. But even when their eyes always followed her face closely, fascinated by the petal-like wing patterns at the sides of her head, they never once saw her grey eyes turn to them. She was distant like the horizon of dusk, and she would slip past like the glow of light that fades away as dusk turns to night.
But what kind of markings are those? She looks like a walking freak show.She did not always seem so beautiful, for no cycle of life could be completely exquisite. There is a dark scar in her time of being, when the looks given to Arethusa were of emotions far from envy and admiration. There was a more painful time when Arethusa's grey eyes had to distance themselves from mistrustful and judgmental glances. When she walked, her ears would brush past thorny, contemptuous whispers. And even when her gaze settled on a horizon far away, she could always see from the corners of her eyes, others pointing at the strange loops on her back, sniggering at the patches around her eyes.
Not-leaving: An act of trust and love, often deciphered by children.Arethusa is a friendly acquaintance to converse with, and does not show any obvious dislike for anything even if she has it. She has earned the friendship and trust of a few, for, to Arethusa, her strongest and only virtue is not-leaving. But in all alleged closeness, she is still an obscure character. Unlike the trust people can give her, Arethusa could never again bring herself to put her trust in the palm of another's hand again. She is obscure like a display behind a glass window, and she has grown guarded and wary, over Time that has changed the seasons, as well as her and the people around her. Whether the change is for better or for worse, she tries not to make it matter anymore.
