Username: Toomin
Name: Emilia
Gender: Female
Personality: Emilia is carefree and outgoing. She tries to see the bright side of everything and rarely lets things get her down. Pfft, what are the winter blues?? Despite this, she only has a single close friend.
What is one of the Kiragon's favorite fall activities?: Emilia collects leaves! She looks for the bright leaves in all shades and gradients, and uses them to create a large mural on the walls of her den. She is trying to create a perfect fade, from brown to purple to red to orange to gold to yellow to green. She spends hours meticulously arranging and rearranging them so the gradient between the colors is flawless. She often spends hours searching for the particular leaf needed to fill in a gap, and she starts the moment the leaves turn. Sometimes, she finds a leaf too perfect to go in the gradient, and she attaches those to the ceiling above her bed so when she lays down to go to sleep, she can see them as she looks up.
(Also, it's worth noting she doesn't discriminate on whether or not it's technically a leaf if the color is right. She's been known to take the bracts of poinsettias (the bright red "leaves") and even golden colored grasses if they're the right shade. In one corner, she has a dedicated spot for pinks and whites, which otherwise don't fit into the rest of the gradient.)
((Related: This Kiragon reminds me of a short story I wrote some time back. Below is a quick excerpt that inspired me to enter and my answer, and is also where I pulled the name from.
"You always loved the colors of the leaves," he said to no one in particular. "You'd go around, collecting as many of them as you could carry, and I'd think it was annoying because you needed my help to carry them back without crumpling them up. But... but now you're not here with me. Not anymore." He sighed, reaching down and picking up a brilliant leaf where the yellow faded to gold. "Now you're not here anymore, and damn it, I can't collect all of these by myself."
The unnamed "you" was a character called Emilia. The character speaking is Amaris.))
