In order to advertise Dryad~Bubble's Charity and guild, she and I have decided to host an art contest. But first, you'll hear our stories of how it happened... sorta. xP
Tsukiono's Story:
I'm Tsukiono, my friend Wheo referred me and I joined in June but I didn't really play until later in July when I moved to California, I'm still pretty much a newb, and I'm still learning about gaia (though I've mastered the ways of the exchange << >> wink , now... hosting an art contest is something I've wanted to do since I got my prism butterfly mantilla, but I was a poor gaian, you see, so I had no hope of attracting good artists. I found the *no name* Charity by accident, hung out there, and I found a guild invitation ifrom Dryad~Bubble, I accepted, and what do you know, I'm a mod there now! Well I came up with the idea in the guild, and through donations, lottos I've joined and won (sometimes) I've accumulated some money to help with the prizes, though Dryad is funding most of the contest heart The end hasn't come into my future yet since I don't have any plans of leaving Gaia anytime soon. =P

Dryad's Story

Hey I'm Dryad~Bubble <3
I was introduced by one of my friends to Gaia. I became addicted. XP
I started out poor and having no knowledge of Gaia at all...
Before I was actually literate I used 2 talk lyk this. XP
Well, I posted everyday and saved up my gold and did some exchanging to get a little gold. After I hit 1000 posts, I decided I would like to open up a charity to help other Gaians. I had 20k to start it off with. I called the charity *No Name* Charity. It just sounded right and I couldn't think of a creative name for the charity XP
My donations started off small... 100-200g maybe. Then I got a big donation and was able to buy items to save for giveaways. I also started giving 1000g+ gold donations to other users...
One of my favorite lurking threads, Where's Waldo was looking for new ownership. So I took over that thread. When I started to donate to Gaia, I noticed how Sealed Letters were so popular. So I started a charity for those as well. I also started a buying thread so that people could by Sealed Letters for prices before inflation.
I noticed how so many people were buying Kikis and how inflated the prices were for them and decided to create a giveaway for Kiki Kitties. I would try to giveaway one kitty each month. Many Gaians came to the thread and made friends out of it as well.
I do charity work because I like to give. I like to make people happy both on Gaia and in Real Life. It makes me happy when other people are happy. The gift of giving is a gift in itself to me. I enjoy my work as a charity owner on Gaia very much <3

No extra things but some hard to see items.
User Image

Difficult to see items:
Chain Wallet
Pandy Pack
----------------------------------
Tangled Puppet: User Image

The one with the fishnets should have rips and tears in them. She has tattoos on each of her upper arms...right above the cardshark bands that look like this... <X>

Sea feels like changing her description since everyone else has a worded one ..
Alright .. Sea, much like sunnie, loves sarcasm (after randomness, it ranks top on her list), and is amazed at how many dont seem to even understand the basics of sarcasm. She loves the fact that sarcasm can make her sound like she knows what shes doing... ><? Randomness is the best thing on sea?s mind atm .. she is extremely random to the point when her friends pretend they dont know her [insert stifled gasp]. She really doesnt like beggars and stuffy people, but likes to play cards and drink lemonade. She also doesnt understand sunnie?s hatred of skirts and wears them just to annoy her. She would also like to express her distaste of trains by poking sunnie with her staff, her first line of defence. After failing miserably at last year?s exams, she is somewhat depressed all the time, a characteristic that annoys those who know her. However, watching her fave animes fruit basket and sakura, she feels a little better. Her kiki is eolienne, and has not yet acquired a coco. She is quite tall, and can be seen sometimes looking down on candy with evil eyes ^^ ninja twisted

She would like to be drawn standing or lying on the floor, not kneeling or sitting. She doesnt mind winking and/or smiling as long as it doesnt stuff up the drawing, and trusts the artist to make the best art possible DD:

----------------------------------
5un541n3
Having a lack of discipline, she has trouble controlling her sanity, but attempts to maintain her dignity with sarcasm to hide her thoughts. Although her sarcasm is mainly lost on strangers, her friends also may have trouble reading her. Her lack of discipline is most probably the source of many poor English essays, yet she has miraculously not failed the subject. She loves to annoy her friends as much as possible, teasing them at almost every opportunity. She also has a thing against skirts and is currently learning to keep her opinions to herself unless asked. Also has a Kiki named Laili, Coco named Saffi.

-- Extra Stuff :: standing up or sitting [not lying on the floor or kneeling], smiling [please, not winking..]

----------------------------------
Tsukiono (MyaoMarjoly)
Odd and random, she has an obsession with domos and is usually seen dragging one around or near one. She has a tendency to appear in weird places, such as standing on a ceiling or duct taped to a wall. Anyone who calls her cute should be prepared to run as she heads into a fit of rage. She binds her chest so she seems flat, though some days she gets lazy and doesn't and lets her (sadly) large breasts free. Never making sense her outfits rarely match and she can often be seen wandering around in underwear and wondering why her legs are cold.
EXTRA: She has a tattoo of a dragon and a phoenix making a yin-yang between her shoulders on her back, which can't be seen while she's wearing a shirt except for the tip of the phoenix's wing, which can be seen slightly on the back of her neck.
User Image

And my Elf Costume: User Image

----------------------------------
candy_girlie
Sweet and sassy, candy likes fighting and making friends. She has a bit of trouble keeping her opinons to herself and is not easily lost in her crowd. Her attitude and her frequently "lost" temper is what makes her a individual although most often it leads her to trouble. She is faithful to friends, but watch out if you offend her! Fire is her natural element, she can often be found dancing through the sparks and embers in the depths of volcanoes. Some may call her exciting, lively and maybe even a little dangerous. However, any who know her will also know that although she's a little fierce at time, she's still very friendly, outgoing and very cheeky to her friends.

Extra tibits: standing up please...not sitting on ground. would like fire involve in the picture.winks and smiles are all right. She has a fire whip which she keeps firmly in her hand at all times for defence and ...attack.

----------------------------------
Evil Hedgehog
Evil has a dark sense of humor but is generally a fun kind of guy. He has a tendency to show off a bit, but gets along with almost anyone. I guess your basic adrenaline junkie.
Extra: a tribal full armpiece tattooed on one arm.
User Image

----------------------------------
x Atrus x
He likes to dress up in black and leave the fairy wings and bracers on sometimes just because he likes the look with the incongruously angelic wings on the Dark Tuxedo top and such. Atrus likes heroics and fantasy violence and such, but has this awful habit for picking up romances in places where they don't belong. He thinks he's a bit girl crazy.
Extra: holding a rapier. That's a small, long thrusting sword with a basket hilt. and maybe wearing a scarf.
User Image

----------------------------------
Dryad~Bubble
User Image

Dryad~Bubble is good natured and sweet. She is really shy and likes to listen rather than speak. She is fun loving and loves to laugh. She likes to make people happy through her charities. Dryad~Bubble loves animals <3 Despite her sweet personality on the outside she has many dark, deep thoughts hidden in her. She often hides sadness and anger behind her happiness. Although always patient, Dryad~Bubble can sometimes become a little perturbed. You'll almost never see her mad.
-----------------------------------
Hidden Faerie
User Image

Hidden Faerie has a playful personality. She may be very shy but she is sweet and charming. Hidden loves to play and run around in the woods and being outdoors. She is very curious and wonders about many deep things. She has a childish nature that others can find tiring at times. Hidden likes to please people especially Dryad~Bubble. She is often stuck on Dryad like glue.
