Welcome to Gaia! ::

It was a little girl's dream... not only was Ana blissfully entrenched in the mall, she had discovered the most awesomely amazing shop ever! Vienne said the shop would only be there for a month or two, since all it sold was halloween costumes. But she had, grudgingly, let Ana wander around inside while she visited a few other shops.

Ana reveled in the freedom. She was without adult supervision in a store full of skeletons and cauldrons and costumes! Not entirely familiar with what Halloween was, she knew that it meant candy and dressing up and that was good enough for her. Wandering through the aisles crammed with costumes, she found herself pausing over something gauzy and pink and spangled with sequins.

Ana had moved from the pink gauze to various sets of clip-on fairy wings, and overheard the conversation from between racks of costumes. She knew about candies, she didn't know there was a password to get them, though. Peering around the corner, she watched the man and the little girl.

The girl had the sort of unusual appearance that Ana had learned to associate with other D-Corp children, so she figured that this was another special child, just like her, who would be rewarded with a dragon someday. Not wanting to interrupt, not yet, she watched the two quietly.

Not one for shyness, Ana stepped out from behind the rack and approached the two. "Hi!" She said, smiling at Izzy. "Thats a really pretty dress! Are you dressing up for Halloween?"

"I'm Anataela!" Ana said proudly, puffing out her chest a bit. "But you can call me Ana. Cause thats what everybody else calls me." She smiled at the man, liking how he got down to her own height. Vienne never did that.

Forgetting Henri for the sake of Izzy, who was a girl and close to her own age and therefore, to Ana, infinitely more interesting, she grinned and asked, "what are you gonna dress up as, Izzy? I cant decide."

"A mermaid would be neat..." Ana mused, eyeing the costumes to see if there was one with a pink and shimmery tail. She might not know what she was going to dress up as, but she did know that whatever it was, her costume would involve lots and lots of pink just like the rest of her wardrobe. "I might be a princess. Or a fairy. Or a fairy princess!" Fairy princess seemed like a good idea to the little chameleon - the best of both worlds. "They have lots of wings over there."

Ana joined Izzy at the wing display, staring at the pretty glittering accessories. "I like your... your shell." Ana said, resisting the urge to poke the other girl's back to see what it felt like. "I'm part chameleon. What animal are you part of?"

Ana was no different in that respect. She'd never heard of a Chiton before. "I've never heard of a Chiton." She smiled. "What does a chiton do? I can change colors!" She added proudly.
