An Unkindness of Ravens, or a Murder of Crows?Name: Camilla Valerios Nickname(s): Cammy by her sister. Age: 20 Sex: Female Birthday:Zodiac Sign: Gemini Height: 5' Bodytype: Having been born with albinoism, Camilla's skin is naturally a very pale compared to other people. She is childlike, with a very delicate looking frame. People think her much weaker than she really is. She won't break if someone bumps her on the street. But she is not malnourished and does have slight curves, particularly the perfectly round breasts under her pretty dresses. Hair: An almost silver blonde, straight, and reaches down to her knees. It can be in a wide array of styles, usually all cute in some way. It's rarely down freely without even a few buckles. Many bangs cover her forehead and she often wears two thin strands in front of her ears. [Like Chobits, which we'll say she has a fondness for in respects to her style. In fact, I find Chii and Freya extremely similar to Velia and Camilla, hence why I draw them based on the anime.] Eyes: Large, oval and of a darker red than her sister. Fashion: There is no single color Camilla won't wear. From the pretty pastels her sister is so fond of, to a dark, rich brown. So long as the style is beautiful, she'll wear it. However, when it comes to such style, this is where she gets a bit picky. See, Camilla isn't satisfied with dressing in jeans and pretty shirts. No. She prefers dresses that only enhance her delicate and childlike beauty. Lolita would be a good term to use for this. She enjoys lace and ribbons. Long and short dresses. Ruffles. Pretty gloves and lace chokers around her neck. Camilla also wears glasses and carries around a parasol when outside, to protect her delicate skin from the sun. Refs: All things I've designed. Twin dolls. Camilla is also identical to Velia, so either girl's references work just as good. For her glasses, the second pair. [x]Personality Traits: + Graceful With a gentle sway of her hips, little Camilla seems to almost glide wherever she walks. This is more noticeable when she wears a long dress that reaches the floor. Whatever she does, she does it with grace and good manners. Always saying her pleases and thank yous. Eating slowly so as not to make a mess. Her voice, too, is soft and shows this trait. Very rarely loud, Camilla speaks quietly to everyone, with a kind tone. Always offering a friendly smile and quick hand to aid someone. In the case of men, this offered hand is figuratively given. She never seems to be annoyed and even if she is, she won't raise or change her voice to a more husky tone. No flies with vinegar is a phrase she goes by quite often. She cares little if people think her fragile for the way she chooses to carry herself and the rather small stature of her body. She simply ignores them. Lets them think what they want. This was how she was raised and she will continue to always move and speak this way. + Friendly This is yet another of the many traits that set this woman apart from her sister. Where Velia is shy, Camilla isn't afraid to strike up a conversation with someone and will stroll up to them, sister on her arm, to talk to someone she doesn't quite know. In proper society, it is not acceptable to not at least say hello to someone, whether you enjoy their company or not. She's always eager to help someone in need, whether they be a personal friend or a stranger. Or even an enemy. If said person hasn't done anything exceptionally horrible to her or her sister, Camilla can be a very understanding and civil person. No one gets anywhere with harsh words, after all. Honey to attract flies. Not that she understands why anyone would want to attract flies, but she understands the statement nonetheless. Unfortunately, the strain of keeping this up all the time tends to take its toil on her mental state at times. When it becomes too much, Camilla will become a hermit and stay at home when she's able, trying to paint away her troubles. Or spend countless hours locked in the gentle embrace of her sister. Fortunately, it does take a lot to get her to shrink back in on herself like this. Camilla regularly practices ways to relieve her stress. From painting to yoga to, rarely, screaming into a pillow. + Confident But not arrogant, Camilla has little issues with being insecure. Her past with men didn't have much of a damper on how she sees herself. This little woman is a fighter. She may not trust them, but they can't bring her down to the level they want. Oh, no. Needless to say, she's also rather optimistic. If horrible events happen, she'll have her private moments to collect her thoughts and emotions, but once that's done, she's back to looking at life with a smile on her face. This confidence shows itself in the way she dresses. Very elegant, if not strange, clothing and carrying around an equally elegant parasol to shield from the sun. She's not in the slightest bit afraid of what people think of her attire. She'll even wear dresses with a lower neckline than Velia would. In fact, it was she who introduced the other girl to dresses that came above the knee. In her eyes, dresses of that length were cuter than those that reached the floor. Camilla also takes pride in her artwork and anything she sets her mind on doing. She knows she'll do it well, in a way that doesn't flaunt it about. She makes all the dresses she and her sister wears-Velia, too, can make them. They're not simple dresses, either. Lolita is the best way to describe them, full of ruffles and ribbons and lace. She knows she has a talent. She also knows she looks pretty in them. Pretty in anything, really. But, again, it's not arrogance and she doesn't flaunt this to people. Just appreciates her own work. - Co-Dependent There is only one person Camilla trusts, besides other family members. And that is, obviously, her sister. So long as she has Velia somewhere close or knows where she is, she's comforted. When she can't find her, that's when trouble starts to happen. Normally a very serene person, Camilla can't concentrate on anything and goes into a frenzy trying to locate Velia. Nothing else matters but locating her other half. Absolutely nothing. You can't have one without the other. To her, it's like trying to paint without the many colors of the rainbow. There's just no point. However, being more friendly than her sister, it is, perhaps, a little bit easier to get to know Camilla separately. Just not by much. Velia still needs to be present, perhaps more for Velia's sake than her own. It was her decision to go over to America, after all. She wanted to pay the consequences of going somewhere by herself and learned to cope with it decently. Writing home every day helped a lot, though. It was a comfort to feel as if she were telling her sister all those things in person. And, of course, there was the internet to stay in touch with. This is not to say Camilla is fine without Velia. She copes, but is in no way 'fine' if it drags on for too long. - Naive Like her sister, Camilla isn't very knowledgeable on the way the world works outside of her very proper upbringing. She understands a bit more than Velia, from her time spent in America in the exchange program, but not enough to protect her from people with ill intentions. Of course, she isn't as bad as her sister in this regards. Camilla has the ability to think about the things she's being told and asks questions often when things don't sound right. However, it is just as easy to make her think otherwise, if shown proof of the claim being made to her. But, unlike her sister, the elder has a bit more sense when it comes to men. Due to problems in the past, Camilla finds it difficult to trust them. She much prefers the company of women, even though they can proof to be just as dangerous as a man. What happened in the past remains to be a mystery. She let herself be a silly teenager and get taken advantage too often. As she grew with those experiences, she came to distrust anyone of the male gender. Does this have an affect on being around men? For the most part, no. So long as they don't physically touch her, she's come to just tolerate their existence. She can't very well go the rest of her days never seeing one or encountering them. This can, of course, make it very difficult for her to strike a friendship with a man, but it is possible. So long as, again, they don't touch her. Being touched is a huge reminder that she can't yet get over. But to her, it's fine. She has her sister and that's all she needs. - Unenthusiastic Camilla is not often prone to outbursts of random happiness. Or even shows much excitement over things given to her. Because she has had such a proper upbringing, she deems it silly and impetuous to behave in such a fashion. Regardless of the situation, jumping around and making a fool of one's self isn't a desirable trait to her. Her own face is usually a sea of calm, not often betraying her emotions to the world around her. This causes many people to deem her as cold and uncaring. Even if they were to give her something, she doesn't show much excitement over it. Though, if you watch closely, you can tell when she likes or dislikes something. Something she enjoys will be constantly turned over and inspected. Tested out. Something she doesn't will be cast aside rather quickly, though not after a slight look-over just for show. It is a habit she can't break. This lack of emotion on her face. Though it can cost friendships, it's something that's too apart of her and her past to let go. If she behaved any other way, she doesn't feel like herself. Hobbies:+ Designing and The Arts Anything creative was encouraged, and usually forced, of the girls. Not that Camilla had many problems with it. She was always a creative child. Drawing little outfits for her dolls. Sometimes making them out of old rags. Cleaned, of course. Once she was able enough to, she started making clothes for her and her sister. It's something she takes pride in, being able to wear clothes she made herself. It's also relaxing to sit on a warm day with a gentle breeze and just sketch out patterns in her book. Or take an article of clothing to sew outside. Painting, too, was something she picked up rather well. Never people, she choose to do landscapes. Just landscapes, in all seasons. Forests, deserts, lakes. Animals tend not to grace her paintings often, however. She always preferred the simplicity of a few trees in a field of flowers. Or a lake in winter, frozen with ice, scattered with a few random leaves left from fall who had broken free of the cold barrier covering the land. + Being outside Despite her condition, Camilla enjoys sitting outside while she does something creative or reads a book. She doesn't let the sun's rays stop her from living her life how she should, even if she has to carry a parasol wherever she goes, just in case. + Bird watching Goes hand in hand with her love of being outside. A hobby most shouldn't be surprised about. It's a very calm and quiet past-time, going perfectly with her type of personality. Camilla used to spend a lot of time outdoors over in Italy, watching and listening to the birds. She even has her own little book to keep track of the ones she finds. Just being outside, with the smell of the trees and beautiful calls of the birds, is like heaven on earth to her. Family: Born the elder of a set of twins to Achille and Scilla Valerios. The Valerois family was very well off. The girls went to a private school and every little whim their hearts desired was offered to them. Camilla took art lessons from the time she was a little girl to slightly before leaving for America on a student exchange program. She was 16 at the time. The family she stayed with showed her around the Celeste colleges. She liked one and, once graduating back in Italy, left, again, to pursue an education in America. Because it was a very formal household, she sometimes finds it difficult to adjust to the different ways of the states. Once settled in Celeste, Camilla sent back to Velia and they live together, both attending college. Scilla and Achille were very doting parents. Scilla took charge of most of the household, almost spoiling her children when she got the chance or they wanted something. It wasn't enough to make the girls into rude and selfish people, however. Achille, though loving and passionate, didn't spoil them quite as much as their mother. Nor wanted them to grow up to be that way. So he tried to balance it out. Most would say he succeeded. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx{ The Senshi }Senshi Name: Algorab Power Source: Misfortune Alignment: Good Base Color: Deep red Accent Color One: White Accent Color Two: Gold What ideas do you have for how Algorab is connected to Alchiba In this life? In the past (optional)? They were twins, same as they are now. Born of the respective children of the current rulers of their stars, they were split up to take over the thrones upon their parent's passing. This meant they were always separated, which is the main reason they don't like to be in the present. Twins are a special occurrence in any folklore, thought to bring either good fortune or bad. For these, it was the opposite. On her own, Algorab was believed to bring bad fortune. Just like her sister, Alchiba, was thought to bring good. Together, they had a neutral affect. If the two were seen together, it was believed nothing would change and everything would stay as it was until another foretelling. But these instances were rare and far between. Algorab, because of her superstition, was mostly confined to the palace and the grounds. She unnerved her people. They were afraid that, if they looked upon her, she would bring them bad luck. Or by seeing her close to them, was a sign of bad luck to befall them or their family. So she was kept behind the castle walls. But Algorab wasn't a woman to be kept in a cage. Often, she would done a robe with a hood and wander out into the city. Or keep a veil over her face. Most people believed her to be so well behaved, she wouldn't dare leave the palace grounds. Thus, no one suspected it was her. However, like most things, she was found out. By this time, the darkness had spread to the Corvians. Believing highly in the superstitions, they thought their little princess was the cause of it. That she had brought a punishment down upon them by disobeying her elders and bringing her misfortune to her people. Afraid of the approaching darkness and confident they would all perish, anyway, they rose up against her, killing her before she could return to the palace to raise an alarm. In this life, the two Senshi are still connected in a twin fashion. Both their attacks and fuku are similar, but different enough it gives them both a sense of individualism. Such as both having corsets and the feathers fashioned into long stripes down the back of the fuku. And their spheres are also obviously in a twin fashion, being the opposites of each other. Sailor Collar: Typical collar, short in the back. Red in color, with a gold and white stripe each. Bodice: Corset style, with thin, vertical stripes for a pattern. Bodice is attached to the bottom, so it all looks like a complete suit. Bows: Front bow is merely strings on the bodice, corset style. Back bow, large enough to be seen from the front, with the additional ribbons covered in gold feathers, down to her knees. Should be close together, so it looks like one giant mass. Sleeves: None Gloves: This. Replace black with dark red, ribbons with white, and rest with gold. Bottoms: No leggings, attached to the bodice as previously stated. Ruffled, half skirt, opened at the front. Shoes: These. Tiara: This. Silver, with a red jewel in the center. Accessories: A ribbon woven into a long braid, like the Rapunzel hair of Gaia. On one side of her head, on the ribbon, should be a little bow. Both ribbon and bow are gold, to stand out amongst her silver hair. Earrings consist of one silver, one gold. Brooch: None. Choker: A lacy silver one tied to one corner with a ribbon. Weapon: One half of a Caduceus.Normal Senshi Transformation Call: Algorab Power, Make Up! Normal Senshi Attack: Name Here! [Offensive] What is it? Algorab, much like her sister, creates a circle of energy with her staff, a representation of the Wheel of Fortune. She smacks it with her staff, causing it to break like a broken mirror. It splits into seven sharp triangles, from the sides to the center, towards the area she smacks it towards. Bad luck doesn't favor one person over the other, so it is possible, if an ally is in the way, to get hit by one. The shards don't steer straight for the enemy Algorab intended it to. More just in the direction the force of her staff directed it. Upon hitting a target, they shatter, again, disappearing into the air around the target. Where they struck, they leave behind a sharp shock. Like being stabbed with a piece of glass. How long does it last? It can be used four times, with a cooldown of two posts. The shards will disappear if they don't reach a target less than 7 feet away. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx{ The Prompt }

An Unkindness of Ravens, or a Murder of Crows?Name: Velia Arabella Valerios Nickname(s): None as of yet. Age: 20 Sex: Female Birthday: Zodiac Sign: Gemini Height: 5' Bodytype: Velia is an albino. All of her skin is a pale, milky white. Her limbs are thin, her fingers long and delicate. Her body is rather small, accented near the top with sloping, elegant shoulders and a delicate face. Gentle womanly curves and rounded breasts. She has a rather innocent look to her overall. Hair: Near colorless, pale blonde locks frame a small, delicate face. It comes to the middle of her back in long, bouncing curls. She has bangs cut straight across her forehead. Eyes: Her eyes are a bright, cherry red. Wide, but not overly so, and innocent looking. Fashion: Velia loves bright and pastel colors, often times hinting at lolita styles. Lots of ribbons, ruffles, and lace can be found in her wardrobe. She loves, loves, loves, parasols and typically carries one that matches her outfit, not only for style but for protection from the sun. Gloves, fingerless or otherwise, chokers, and earrings are staples in her outfits. The following references were by Hoshi Lockhart. On the right.On the right. Different reference than the top.On the right... Again.Alone!On the left this time.Personality Traits: + Willing to Help Velia is the kind of girl who will go out of her way to help others in a number of ways, from a simple smile to letting that friend stay over late at night because of a bad break up or a family emergency. She tries to be the support group, the night light, and the security blanket all in one and gets very emotional when she cannot help. She's so empathetic that if she feels their pain and knows that she can do nothing about it, she too will simply sit there and cry with them. This can leave her over extended as not only does this apply to friends and familly, it also applies to strangers. For instance, children lost in the mall or a homeless man sitting on the street, starving. While she has since learned not to give them money directly, she will go out of her way to buy them food. This leaves her easily manipulated and prone to danger because of it. It can be a drain on her physically, emotionally, mentally, and financially. It is in these moments, where she feels so very drained, that she turns to her twin sister for comfort and support. With the rest of her family back in Italy, Camilla is all she has. + Acute Alertness/Empathy Velia is acutely alert to emotional and social cues from friends and strangers alike. People with amazing poker faces aside, she picks up on things quite quickly. She isn't always right 100% of the time but her sense of these things are quite highly developed, which helps her go far in social situations as people tend to find her rather respectful and attentive because of it. Of course, this also means that anyone with a good poker face can lead her down whatever road they please, which could prove potentially dangerous in conjunction with her compulsion to help those around her, especially for such a small girl. Since coming to America she has yet to experience this but back in Florence, her home town, it has happened before, as her family is rather well to do and people occasionally tried to use her for her father's money. This was nearly devastating to her emotionally but her sister helped her through it. Since then she is much more careful when money is involved. This empathetic connection is strongest with her identical twin, Camilla. It is almost as if they can read each others minds though in reality they are just so similar that they are reading the body language incredibly fluently. + Gentle Nature Velia is a gentle soul. She prefers quiet, serenity, and contemplation to loud, noisy, chaotic situations. She's soft spoken, delicate in her touches, and often times a silent presence in a room unless the situation calls for her to speak up. She is completely okay with letting her more outgoing sister speak and be the center of attention, though in truth, they often times both draw attention because of their unique sense of style. Her love of serenity makes it hard for her to function in some loud, noisy situations. You will never see Velia in a club or at a crazy college party. It's simply not her scene and she knows as much. Now, if you're willing to organize a friendly tea party or something of the sort, she is more than happy to participate. Likewise, loud, brash, rough people can get on her nerves. She does not enjoy listening to someone yell all the time and she especially dislikes people who are exceptionally profane. She finds it tasteless. This can make certain friendships and social connections damn near impossible, as she simply cannot stand to be around those types of people. + Elegance Velia is very graceful in her movements. She walks, talks, smiles, and acts, at all times, like a respectable, elegant young lady. She often times moves very slowly, not because of any injuries or illnesses but because it is her natural gait. Her movements are fluid often times slow. While it is partially just in her nature to act and move this way, it is also in her breeding. Her family was rather formal, though loving, and they trained both of their daughters that elegance and patience are key features any respectable young woman should practice. Due to this, she has been perceived as mentally slow or sickly. She has been treated as if she were mentally deficient before and it continued until she managed to prove that she is, in fact, completely capable of thought and understanding. Her slow movement speed in conjunction with the thought that she could be ill sometimes drives people to avoid her, as they think that they might catch whatever it is she has. During these moments she feels not only insulted but emotionally isolated. Of course, with Camilla around, Velia is never really alone. + Diplomatic Cooperation and inciting cooperation and two things that Velia is exceptionally good at. She is well spoken and knows what tones to use when to achieve whatever goal is set at the given time. She is good with handling people and incredibly good at customer service, despite her slow, fluid movements. She knows how to approach situations and people in the most professional and still personal way, be it in a conflict or simply coercing someone into doing a small part of a project. She will not argue back, but instead, attempt to deescalate whatever the situation at hand is. This can be infuriating for some people, especially those who are looking for a fight. Velia will not give it to them. If they yell, she will speak softly regardless. If they have some choice, biting words for her, she will acknowledge them and push for cooperation and calmness none the less. - Timid While it is not crippling, Velia is naturally timid at heart. She is soft spoken, gentle in speech, voice, and touch. She is prone to fear more often than normal because of this. She is easily startled, though she has trained herself not to outwardly show as much. While she can keep her air of elegant diplomacy, inside, she very well might be incredibly frightened. This becomes visible in her movements as they will often times be more jerky and she will lose a bit of her grace, fumbling to pick things up for instance. She is aware that her fear is often times in her head, but she cannot help but feel it, which leaves her emotionally drained in high stress situations. It is, as always, in those moments where she turns to her other half, her sister Camilla. - Co-dependent Velia and Camilla can not, not, not, I repeat, NOT stand to be away from each other for long periods of time. While they can cope in classes or at work, they always gravitate towards one another and feel as if something is missing without the other. Camilla is Velia's security blanket and vice versa. It is exceptionally rare, school and work aside, to see one of them alone. They frequently hold hands because they feel and know that they are one in the same.They do damn near everything together from shopping to working the same shifts (usually) to just going for a stroll down a shady street. The biggest example of this can be seen right before they both came to America. Camilla was accepted into an exchange student program and sent for her sister, who left Italy without so much as thinking about her choice, to join her in Celeste the instant the program was over. It felt unnatural to be away from each other for such a long period of time. It does not occur to the girls that this is unnatural or unhealthy as it is all they have ever known. As children they were dressed in matching outfits, only told apart by their hair and the slight shade different of their eyes and as they grew the harder it was to keep them away from each other. When Cammy got into the exchange program it was as if a piece of Velia had simply vanished and she never wants to experience it again. This can make it rather hard to develop a personal relationship with Velia, as her sister is always there beside her. It can be very hard to get to know her on an individual level as opposed to meeting them as the twins. Velia has had very few romantic relationships because of it. It can be rather straining in a relationship when the girlfriend relies and confides more in her sister than the boyfriend. - Naive This comes hand in hand with her willingness to help and her confidence in her abilities to read people. If people manage to get past both of those barriers, Velia is incredibly susceptible and can be caroused into believing total lies and even acting on them with some form of help. If a person is good enough, they can even convince her that they are in love with her, which in turn would get her to innocently dote on them with physical tokens of appreciation and returned feelings. These moments lead only to emotional and mental pain. Once she realizes she has been had, Velia can vanish from the world for a few days, staying acutely alone (Camilla excluded in her definition of alone) for days on end. She takes it very hard when someone hurts her this way and simply does not understand why people would treat her that way. - Spacey Though Velia is diplomatic, elegant, and attentive, she is prone to moments in which her mind wanders. This happens often at work especially. While she is arranging the flowers, her mind will travel and spark a memory, which she will typically revel in and savor. A smile, or a laugh, or sometimes even a new outfit for her and her sister to make. This can, at times, make her a bit hard to communicate with professionally. If someone approaches her in this state, she is easily startled. While she is usually still working as her mind roams, she works more slowly. This isn't a huge problem but it occurs often when she is doing menial tasks, which means it also happens when she is in a classroom setting. It has never severely affected her grade or work but it can put her at a disadvantage in class, as she can miss key points and at work, as she can lose business if she does not seem to care. It is especially if she zones out with dangerous people near by. - Spoiled Velia isn't the type to throw a fit if daddy gets her the wrong colored sports car, but the truth is, she is used to getting the material things that she desires. Clothes, cars, jewelry, accessories, even her breakfast in bed. Coming from a rather well to do Italian family, her father provides anything and everything the girls desire. He paid for them to go to private schools all their lives and he pays now for them to go to a school completely out of the country. Not only that, he fits the bill for their room and board all the way from Italy. His "angeli preziosi", his precious angels are the center of his world, and though albinism is considered a health condition, he can be frequently quoted saying they were kissed by angels and blessed with white, heavenly purity. Gushing parental poetics aside, the truth is, Velia doesn't like to do many things for herself. She will drive if she must but prefers to walk. She will put together food but is of the opinion that any and all cooking can be done by someone else. She can become irked when she does not get what she wants when she wants it, but again is not the type to make a scene. This makes living on her own very difficult and trying for Velia, as suddenly she is having to do the cleaning and the washing and the driving and all the every day tasks she was never really exposed to back in Florence. Hobbies: Flower arranging: This is Velia's favorite thing to do. It relaxes her mind, allows her to drift off and wander (when not at work at least), and she has a knack for it. Seeing the beauty in natural things is something that she adores more than anything else and to her, flower arranging is the perfect outlet. Her dream job is to open her own flower shop with her sister some day. Painting: Velia does not paint as much as her sister, but when she does, she typically paints landscapes or natural scenes. Flowers, animals, spring time and summer. Rarely fall. While she does not intend to pursue it professionally, it is a relaxing activity that she enjoys. Sewing: Velia's mother insisted that, if nothing else, the girls learn to mend and repair their clothing. This turned into a lifelong hobby for them both that spread like wild fire. A good portion of the clothes that they wear they made themselves. This is more so a passion for Camilla than Velia but both girls still design and create their own outfits. Singing: This is something that comes to Velia rather easily. She is classically trained and absolutely loves to sing in Italian and German, though she will sing in any language. She is a soprano one. She used to perform at family events back in Italy but since coming to Celeste, she is much less active in her public singing. Velia only feels comfortable singing to herself, her flowers, and her family. Family: Velia and Camilla live together in a rather spacey apartment in the better, more "rich" area of Celeste. She and her twin are originally from Florence, Italy, though they have come over with the intent to gain education and are working on becoming citizens. They have a distinct Italian accent because of this, despite being taught both Italian and English by private tutors. Velia is the younger twin of Achille and Scilla Valerios.Her mother, Scilla, was a stay at home mom and took charge of the house with capable, confident hands. She nearly spoiled her children with all the doting affection that she bestowed upon them. Achille, her father, was, though loving and passionate, more stern, and taught his daughters to be appreciative of what they had. To realize that they were lucky to have what they did and for the most part, he did. Since coming to the states, Velia has experienced a definite culture shock from the difference between her home and Celeste but she follows her sister's lead and does everything she can to be successful. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx{ The Senshi } Senshi Name: Alchiba Power Source: Fortune Alignment: Good Base Color: White Accent Color One: Gold Accent Color Two: Crimson Red What ideas do you have for how Alchiba is connected to Algorab? In this life? In the past?Alchiba and Algorab were twins, born of a love between the previous rulers of the stars. They were forced to be split upon the deaths of their parents who in turn were also constantly separated. This is part of the reason that in their current incarnations, the girls are inseparable. In her past life, she was perceived as a symbol of good luck by her people. To see Alchiba was to know that everything was going to be okay. She was revered and in some places even worshiped. They would constantly request her presence and she came to realize that if she went upon everyone's request, it could cause problems between stars and communities if they believed that she was favoring one place over the other. Due to this, she kept to her own kingdom, not afraid to be seen by her own people, but too afraid of causing some sort of civil war to leave her homeland unless so called by Corvus. It was painful for her to isolate herself but she would occasionally sneak out under the cover of a disguise so that she could see her twin sister, whom she often worried about being so alone and stigmatized. They day they found her sister was a day they were to meet to discuss the terrors that were destroying kingdoms. The terrors known as Chaos. Alchiba got there first. When Algorab was killed, she could feel it in her heart. A piercing, stabbing pain wracked her entire body and she knew that a part of her had just died. The pain made her vomit and she couldn't help but break down into tears. Nonetheless, she knew that she had her own kingdom to worry about and there was no chance of saving her sister. She made the decision to prepare her kingdom for the attack that had to be coming. Alchiba was too late and she died defending her civilians, trying to give them a chance to escape. In the Yoruba mythology, twins are believed to bring good or bad fortune depending on how they are treated, thus the inspiration for their spheres. In this life, they are inseparable, right down to their matching spheres. Similar fukus and similar attacks is the plan for them. Sailor Collar: Typical sailor collar though shorter. White with a single gold and crimson stripe. Bodice: Corset style, white with golden laces tied in a bow at the top with a small crimson circle fastening it in place.

HyacinthOKAY, FINE, SATAN SANTA COOKIES DO MAKE THE DARK SIDE WORTH IT!I have read the terms and conditions and agree to all of them.Name: Keegan Shane Butler Nickname(s): Kee Age: 12 Sex: Male Birthday: August 19 Zodiac Sign: Leo Gemstone: Peridot Origin: Ireland Bloodtype: B Height: 5'3" Bodytype: Tiny, like a child, with tanned skin. Hair: A faded pink, but still noticeable as a shade of pink. On the wavy side, bangs framing his face. Doesn't quite reach his shoulders. Eyes: Large and on the dark red side. Fashion: Red rimmed glasses, hollow heart necklace around neck(see Selfy). Keegan dresses like a proper young man. Often long sleeves shirts in various styles, from dress to sweater, he is often seen with vests of different sizes and shapes over his shirts. If he's feeling especially fashionable that day, he'll even dawn a tie. His hands, ears, and wrists are often without any accessories, including his head and face. Fancy shoes are often on his feet. Never sneakers or sandals, no matter the weather. Selfy used for inspiration.Personality Traits: [+] Eye on the Prize // Keegan has a very goal oriented life. There was never much time for play. At least not in the usual sense of the word. He never liked sports or playing outside. The only games he liked were ones made to strengthen the mind. It's not clear exactly where this trait manifested itself, since his parents did whatever he wanted to do and never forced him to do anything. He wants what he wants and he'll focus his energies on getting it within his grasp. From a tournament trophy in card battles or chess. To rising in recognition with someone. It is usually his main focus until he obtains it. This does tend to get in the way of other activities. School work not being one of them. Keegan always got through his homework and assignments quicker than his classmates, leaving himself lots of free time to focus on his goals in life. Said goals tended to change, depending on what he current wanted. Focus on other things was lower until he achieved said goal. The more important the goal, the more attention it got over others. This can make Keegan good to work with, more so for the lazy. As he's not opposed to doing the entire job by himself. He feels he is the only one capable of such a job, no matter what said job is. He is arrogant, cocky, and is perfectly alright with ignoring his partner to do the job by himself. Either way, the job gets done and he feels accomplished. [-] Wolf in Sheep's Clothing // To say Keegan is deceiftul is an understatement. He hasn't quite hit puberty yet-at least not in a way the eye can see-so he uses his still childlike body to serve him. To anyone not on his side, he appears to be the sweetest child, carrying around his little lion plushie. He is polite and will often do the biding of those older than him. Not often, but usually. Keegan can't stomach helping people too much and will tend to do something malicious to the belongings of said person to make the ordeal easier on him. Something small that they won't notice until it's too late. Or something too vague they will think it was an accident. But it's never an accident. If caught doing something of this nature to someone's things, he puts on his most innocent face, pretending not to know any better. Since he is now a preteen, it doesn't always work, of course. Keegan is starting to realize he needs to find a different game plan soon. In truth, the short preteen is anything but sweet and naive. He had developed this knack for getting away with things at a young age, made all the more easier by being an only, spoiled child. His parents wouldn't deny what their little angel wanted. Not Keegan. He used this to his full advantage, developing this skill by practicing on his parents and a few adults at school. When it doesn't work, he changes the plan to try and frame someone else. Even if he's sitting in detention, he's thinking up a way to get out of it. He's a little more careful now than before about those adults not taken in by his large eyes. [+] Unashamed of his Looks // Yes, his hair is pink. He is quite aware his hair is pink. Does this bother Keegan? Not really. No matter the looks or teasing he might get about the color and curliness of it, he takes it all in stride. In fact, he would go as far as to announce he is proud of his hair. How many guys do you see who would even do the pink hair, let alone pull it off as well as he does? He knows once he reaches their age, he'll be extremely good-looking. No amount of teasing seems to change his mind. It should be needless to say that Keegan has a rather large ego regarding his appearance. It is not the ego of an older person believing themselves the best looking around and putting down others over it. It is a more conserved confidence in himself. His asserting the fact he is comfortable with the way he looks. And thinking everyone else ought to follow his example. [-] I'll Cry If I Want To // Being a spoiled child makes Keegan a little...Sulky when he doesn't get his way. Lower lip pouted and eyes watering, he will whine your ears off until he gets his way. Or, if that doesn't work, stomp his feet and refuse to move. On his parents, it works wonders. On everyone else, not so much. But this, however, is not always a ploy to get you to concede to his ways. The 12-year-old simply can't take not getting his way. If the situation doesn't call for whining or throwing a tantrum(such as Knight business, I'll add here)he switches to something else. Guard your belongings when there is a sulky Keegan on the lose. For you might find something from your prized porcelain doll collection broken in silent retaliation. (When doing things for Polaris, I will add, again, he is a bit different. He takes that job more seriously. He will sulk, pout, and cry at times. Just not as badly. It is more likely, if he doesn't get his way, he will either threaten to come for your personally or simply charge you for a fight. Depending on the situation. Either way, whoever got in his way has made it to his personal hit list.) [-] You Will Obey Me // As is obvious, Keegan isn't above using others to get what he wants. If you are the type to get worked up over a cute little kid, you have either made a friend or an enemy, depending on how you look at it. If you are smart, you will use this to your own advantage. If you can provide Keegan with something he needs, he will provide you with something you need. If you are one who gets suckered into a cute face, well...He adores you. Just not in the definition you want. See, the more Keegan can use someone for his own advantage without having to do something for them in return, the more he loves said person. The more he loves said person, the more often they will see him around. He has little patience for those not taken in my his adorable charms. If someone shows a lack of giving into him, he usually backs off. You are not worth the time if you fight back. Unless, of course, you want a verbal battle. If this start to become more physical, Keegan uses his trump card. He will take in a big gulp of air and yell for an adult at the top of his lungs. This usually works, whether to get the offender to back off or to get an adult to his side. [+] I Solemnly Swear // Surprisingly, Keegan keeps any promises he makes. He is careful not to make promises he really has no interest in keeping. But if it's small or for his benefit, he will keep it. In response to his goal oriented trait, this does mean some promises may get pushed to the side in favor of other things. Since he doesn't make promises very often, he can usually fulfill the need of the other person rather quickly and get back to his own personal tasks. In truth, Keegan likes to have these promises finished before continuing on with his own things. For the simple reason he doesn't like feeling like he owes someone anything. This makes him reliable if anyone wants him to do anything for them. Hobbies:Stuffed Animal Collecting // Keegan has done this for as long as he can remember. He can't recall the first time something stuffed caught his attention. Even as a baby, he had a fascination with them, more so of the feline variety. This is the only part of his childhood that was anything like a normal child. And is something he can't seem to let go. He does still carry around stuffed animals in public. Not so much school anymore, after a few incidents where they were taken. When one ended up underneath the wheels of a transport truck, the offender had found his text books ripped up and in the trash out back. To avoid more detentions getting in his way, Keegan keeps his animals at home. One in particular is most dear to him and follows him on most of his outings. A lion with a little crown on its head, anywhere the preteen goes, this one is likely to be under his arm or sticking out of his backpack. He doesn't care how this makes him look. He is comfortable in his own skin and advises everyone else to do the same. Strategic Games // From Magic the Gathering style card games, to chess tournaments. If it requires strategy, Keegan is likely to be interested in it. He enjoys anything that strengthens and challenges his mind in a way people his age tend not to. For Keegan is above and beyond the simple preteen mind. He understands the need to keep yourself mentally sharp. He always preferred to hang around others of his intellectual level, be they his age, younger, or older. It makes him more comfortable. The types of games you would find a normal teenager playing doesn't concern him. The survival aspect of some of them interests him, but you wouldn't catch the kid doing more than simply watching with the intent of studying how much survival is needed. If it's not to his standards, he looks the other way. Debates // If he can't physically fight as a civilian, Keegan makes due with debates. He's always sure to be one of the first to join debate clubs at his school, usually picking the opposing side for both a challenge and to just get an excuse to argue with his opponent. Whether he agrees personally with what he's debating or not, doesn't matter to Keegan. So long as he can argue with someone, he's happy. He often makes people wonder if he does in fact agree with his own points, for all the effort he puts into making and delivering them. Favourite Food: Fruit Least Favourite Food: Candy Family: Lives with his parents. His family is very well off, his father being a fashion designer and his mother helping him. They taught Keegan how to use what God gave him instead of trying to modify it. In this respect, they taught their son well. In others, not so much. Keegan, on the other hand, wouldn't want his life any other way. His parents provide entertainment for the boy and give him a window into an authoritative position by manipulating them. He is, of course, an only child, given the spoiled attitude of him. The family lives in the comforts of wealth. Keegan shows little control in using this to his advantage. School: Sunshine Elementary Middle & High School Grade: 6 Favourite Subject: Math Least Favourite Subject: Anything creative and physical.

HyacinthChosen Prompt Number: 2 Prompt: A pink ruff of hair bounced behind the kitchen countertop, the occupant rummaging through the pots and pans for the object he sought. It wasn't long before a little lion stuffed animal, a gold crown with fabric red jewels on the points, was pulled out from under the lid of a large pot. The child owner held it close for a few seconds, feeling that familiar comforting feeling come over him at the feel of the soft fur against his chin. Shutting the doors quietly, Keegan tiptoed out of the kitchen in favor of the hallway beyond. The child never liked having to do that to his inanimate friend. But had he kept the lion out with him as he always did, it would have been used as a tug rope by one or both of his twin cousins. Unlike him, they weren't allowed in the kitchen, so a pot had provided the perfect hiding place for the plush lion. Keegan had learned long ago how much of a blind eye his parents turned towards the children during family visits. His aunt and uncle were just as bad as them when it came to spoiling their children. Worse, in fact. If anyone so much as looked the wrong way at one of the twins, you were likely to get an earful of how angelic the kid was. Which was far from the truth. As compromise for putting up with his cousins, Keegan's parents had allowed him to stash his beloved lion in the kitchen. A small victory, but a victory nonetheless. Now that the whole ordeal was over, the 12-year-old had something he wanted to discuss with his parents. Literally a few seconds before the unannounced visit of his family-as was often with them not to tell anyone in advance when they were coming-, Keegan had finished a private phone call. Thanks to the size of the house, his parents hadn't even been aware he had been on the phone. Once finished, he had left the comforts of his room to discuss the matter with him, when his aunt, uncle, and twin cousins had walked in through the door and he had had to rush to the kitchen to hide his lion. Now that the ordeal was over, it was time to get down to business. Keegan found his father in his study, as he normally did after family visits. The man was sitting behind his desk, going through a small stack of papers, a glass of brandy sitting at his elbow. Closing the door softly behind him, Keegan approached the desk and cleared his throat in a dignified manner, the plush held extra close to his body. "I'm sorry for the unexpected visit of Uncle Conri and Aunt Nola," his father started by saying, discarding a piece of paper into a small pile on the opposite side of the brandy glass. "You know how they are. Always have to make a surprise entrance." "Father...I want to move." This was enough to get a reaction from the man. Putting down his papers, Mr Butler stared in surprise at his son, leaning forward in his chair. "Move where, Keegan? We can't just move. I have the show coming up and--" He stopped suddenly at the hand raised by the little boy, like an obedient dog awaiting the orders of its master. "You had that offer from Celeste in America, Father," the boy continued, planting his feet firmly into the carpet, a little pout starting to form on his lips. "I want to move." "But, I turned that down," the older man argued, desperation starting to appear in his voice, though his face was neutral. He had seen the stomp. Could clearly see the pout. He knew what was coming if this continued to work out of favor of the boy. "You were very clear you didn't want to move, Keegan. Why change now?" Keegan, however, ignored the question in favor of something more effective. "Pleeeeease." "I'm sorry, Keegan, we really ca--" He was cut off, again. This time, by the sudden wailing that was coming from the other side of his desk. Tears were streaming down the tanned face of the boy, the curls on his head bouncing slightly with his sobs. Keegan truly was the little actor, able to cry at will at any occasion. He made sure to increase the volume of his wailing, to further push his father to the idea of moving. The lion plush still clutched tightly in his arms was getting a good and steady shower. Though his eyes were closed, Keegan was sure there was a look of panic on the fact of his father. The door to the study opened so quickly, the sound of a chair falling over could clearly be heard through the deafening sound of the boy. "For God's sake, Aidan, what have you done now?" Arms went around Keegan, a hand on his forehead pulling his head back to a bosom. During this, he never let up his wailing, not giving his parents one moment's peace until he got what he wanted. His ears were sharp, listening for the submissive response he knew his father would take in the demanding presence of his mother. "N-Nothing! He suddenly wants to move and--" "So lets move! It's not like you can't get that offer from America back. Do it!" Changing his tactic to a few sniffles, one hand clinging to his mother's blouse, the last glimpse of his father Keegan got was of a defeated man righting his chair to flop back into, a hand on his forehead as an obvious headache grew. Hidden by his mother's cuddling, the child smirked in success. Adults were too easy. And it was time to return to Polaris.
