  Name: Tsuji Name Meaning: Japanese, meaning "crossroad" Nickname: None
Stage: Child
Gender: Female Court: Seelie Wind: West; Gentle winds of spring. A lover of life and constantly seeking the attention of others. Competitive and easily jealous of others, yet one of the nicer winds. Affinity for flowers.
Age: Young and stupid Date Of Birth: 04.29.2009
Height: Standard child's height Weight: A lady never reveals her weight Likes: Dancing, playing with others, sweets, climbing, exploring, meeting others, the outdoors Dislikes: Spray bottles, idling, smoke, being alone or ignored, being told what to do
Font Color: #2a52be
Personality: Mischievous, playful, possessive, and a gigantic pain, Tsuji delights in making herself the center of attention. Whenever she does something she feels proud of, she makes sure that everyone knows about it and that she gets the proper praise. While still working out her social skills, she has a hard time keeping her mouth shut on issues, including bits and pieces about the lives of people she cares about. She will fight for her friends and be terribly loyal, clinging to them with a vice-like grip and dragging them everywhere. She is also very possessive of her friends, and gets (oftentimes visibly) jealous when they're not spending time with her. Whether or not said parties can put up with this and her constant talking and not get annoyed is a mystery.
She also dislikes a quiet or gloomy atmosphere, and will do her best to dissipate it as quickly as possible - more often than not by talking the distressed person's ear off. However when it is she who is in the gloomy mood, she gets mopey and secludes herself from others. What she's really looking for is somebody who will come after her and cheer her up with the same tenacity she has.

 A protectress of lions, and a sheltered soul.
The Aziza Bahari made for an awkward sight in the Seelie court. Painfully tall and dark, in her simple clothing, she stood out like a sore thumb among her smaller, fairer counterparts. For this reason, her mother kept her separate from the Court and the rest of the fae - partially out of her instinctive protectiveness towards her child, and partially out of fear she would leave the nest and forget about her. But the child mirrored the parent too much in both looks and aprehension, and was happy to stay away from the throngs of those who stared and commented on her appearance, deep in the reaches of the human world.
Her mother soothed the child with these words: "Remember that others will only complicate your heart, umntanami. You need only me." And throughout youth, this was the main truth she adhered to. Her mother would never lead her astray.
It would be in the Seelie court, however, that she would meet two friends, a young lady and gentleman, who would ease her loneliness for like-minded companionship in the wake of her mother's passing. These same young fae would open up a new part of her that she had never known before, and in this, she would become sloppy. Her duties would suffer, and she would do what most sheltered children do and open up too far.. and let herself become vulnerable.
It was when other feelings complicated her heart that she was privy to hidden jealousies and anxiety. And it was in this state that she realized her friends hadn't found her, but merely found each other through her, whereas concerns towards her weren't part of the equation. They had left her for each other, and she was right back to where she had started. She fleed back to her home and longed for the comfort of the lions she had not seen in so long, but Bahari quickly realized what her immersion in her newfound friends had done. Poachers had ravaged the lands and the tribes, and what had been her duty to protect was now laid to waste. In her sorrow she searched for them, and the feeling of failure ate away at her heart. She had obviously failed as a friend if they had so easily left her behind, and she had definitely failed in her duties as a protectress.
Some of the lions had escaped, and eagerly she came to meet them, but was only met with hatred and fear. "You abandoned us! Why should we care about you?" But Bahari persisted, only to be rebuked by the fearful and hateful cubs. Deep scratches covered her torso and one rested below her left eye, and she was abandoned once again in a patch of savannah grass to bleed to death. The only sight her blurring eyes could make out was the full harvest moon, and she shuddered.
She was alone.  Madi ao ~ s p i l l e d ; b l o o d

  H U A N_Y I_Y EName: Huan Yi Ye (sometimes goes by Huan Yi Egan) Nickname: None Gender: Female Ethnicity: Chinese, Irish
Age: 17 Date Of Birth: August 16, 1992
Height: 5'4" Weight: 112 lbs. Hair Color: Soft black Hair Type: Has a bit of body to it from her mixed heritage, often frizzing up when exposed humidity Eye Color: Dark jade green Skin Tone: Pale cream Other Features: Abundant freckles over the bridge of her nose
Family:
Jun Bae Ye: father, deceased for eleven years Helena Mason-Ye: mother, deceased for eleven years Nadine Egan: foster mother, deceased for one month Henry Egan: foster father, deceased for two years William Egan: foster brother, older Huan Yi's parents worked together at the University of Dublin. Her mother, Helena, was an Economics teacher, while her father, Jun Bae, was a Physics professor. The two married after a year of dating (and two years of friendship), and Huan Yi was born two years later.
Her parents died in a car accident when she was four years old. Having no close relatives to claim her, her parents' close friends and colleagues Henry and Nadine Egan chose to adopt her instead. She has lived happily at the Egan home since that time, until the passing of Mrs. Egan one month ago.
Likes: Literature, history, peaches, gardening, children, period literature and media (especially Victorian era) Dislikes: Being picked on, the smell of gasoline, science, turnips, messy atmospheres Hobbies: Watching or reading period stories, going to the library, gardening, cleaning
Occupation: High school student
Font Color: #dbb608
Other: She speaks in a soft Irish accent, sounding more British than carrying an Irish brogue
Personality: Huan Yi is a soft spoken, demure girl who often keeps to herself. Her nose is pressed in a book most of the time, or her mind is wandering elsewhere. By nature, she is studious and does very well in school, and also has exceedingly good manners and courtesy towards others. She tends to prefer books to people, seeing as (according to her) they tend to be easier to understand. It takes a lot to get her frustrated, but when that happens, it's best to stand back and let her rant herself breathless as she will not let you get a word in edgewise until she is finished.
She tends to bend over backwards to help other people, and as such has been taken advantage of. Too many incidents have helped her become more sure of herself as well as given her the ability to refuse what she doesn't want. However, she is a romantic, soft-hearted person and cannot stay aloof for long.  W I L L I A M_E G A NName: William Egan Nickname: Will Gender: Male Ethnicity: Irish
Age: 24 Date Of Birth: November 22, 1984
Height: 6'3" Weight: 147 lbs. Hair Color: Chocolate brown Hair Type: Full bodied with a bit of a curl; groomed sideburns run down the sides of his face Eye Color: Storm cloud gray Skin Tone: Healthy peach Other Features: Freckles up in the summertime; needs glasses for reading
Family:
Nadine Egan: mother, deceased for one month Henry Egan: father, deceased for two years Huan Yi Ye: foster sister, younger William has grown up an only child, having been shaped into a slightly spoiled kid to older, overindulgent parents. With Huan Yi's arrival at Maison De Croisement, he was at first stand-offish to the little girl who was nearly ten years his junior. Over time, through rationalizing the situation and growing responsibilities, he grew up and accepted the Chinese-Irish girl as his "sister", looking out for her much as a real brother should. He was known to give children who picked on her at the elementary school the evil eye.
Upon graduation from high school, an urge to be independent struck him and he moved far from home in order to attend college. He would come home during holidays, fitting time for his family in his busy schedule. Upon the death of his father two years ago, he half-contemplated moving home to help his mother cope, but Huan Yi insisted that she could take care of her. With the death of his mother, he immediately stepped up to offer Huan Yi shelter. While he is grateful for the presence of his sister again, he feels crowded in their small apartment.
Likes: Sleep, reading, the smell of coffee, sailing, watching professional rugby, obedient children, pastries Dislikes: Noisy neighbors, distractions, being late or crunched for time, cooking dinner Hobbies: Working, sleeping, watching television, reading, rugby
Occupation: Assistant teacher at a local junior high school, looking for more permanent work; as well as a wannabe fiction writer (specializing in horror, adventure, and historical fiction)
Font Color: #6a9b67
Other: Speaks in a more pronounced Irish accent than Huan Yi, slipping into quiet cursing in Gaelic when he gets frustrated
Personality: William is an independent, aloof sort of man. While possessing an initially good nature, he takes a while to warm up to others. His ego rules his judgment, and he finds himself comparing qualities in new people to find friends better suited to his taste. Aside from being selective about those he knows, he tends to forgive children their trespasses much more readily than he would an adult. He figures they're old enough to know better.
While treating people coldly, he does have an endearing side, often shown through when he gets embarrassed or flustered. He does nice things for those he cares about, almost always out of the blue, and when questioned about such acts, he'll merely shrug. He rarely angers and is apt to fall back on sarcasm instead, unless the subject is very personal. He is also a bit of a know-it-all, a residual bit of his childhood that refuses to let go.

Name: Shasta & Nate Chavez Age: 15 (fraternal twins) Apartment No.: - Occupation: High school students at a private Catholic school
Shasta and Nate live with their mother and younger sister Luna in the floor directly above Huan Yi and William. They often run into Huan Yi in the elevator their way out to catch the bus. Shasta is a cocky, self-assured girl with a bit of a bad attitude, while her brother is the smarter, more placid of the two. They do not know about Tsuji's existence yet. Name: Mack Douglas Age: 25 Apartment No.: - Occupation: Grad school student and part-time worker at a French restaurant
Mack is a straight-laced, busy individual trying to get his master's degree in business. He has ambitions of helping his aunt run her restaurant and making it grow. He lives with his younger brother Jay and his little sister Louise down the hall from Huan Yi and William. He and William seem to hit it off pretty well. He does not know about Tsuji's existence yet. Name: Rosalind Harris Age: 32 Apartment No.: - Occupation: Policewoman
Rosalind, or Rosie as she prefers to be called, is often stressed to no ends. She is an efficient worker at the area police station and does her job well, but her days off are precious to her and she tends to keep to herself.. if her partner Carrie would ever let her be. She currently lives on the first floor of the Mossbrae Apartments, and waves at Huan Yi as she goes to school. She does not know about Tsuji's existence yet. Name: Ciellas O'Malley Age: 35 Occupation: Housewife
A friend from their previous apartment building, Ciellas ocassionally drops by to check in on them and see how they're doing. Her and her family have found somewhere to live on the other side of town, but visiting often gives her an excuse to spend an afternoon with Huan Yi and William. She has a young son, Kieron, a husband, Elijah, and a daughter, Seri. She was present in Tsuji's early life and gave her the pendant that she never goes anywhere without.

P R E V I O U S_H O M E S M A I S O N_D E_C R O I S E M E N T_:: Huan Yi & William's childhood home. A cottage located in the country, with a spacious garden. Huan Yi lived here before moving in with William in the city upon the death of Mrs. Egan. C O R N E R S T O N E_A P A R T M E N T S_:: Huan Yi & William's first home in the city. This small, cramped apartment played host to a number of interesting tenants, but an emergency eviction sent them all scrambling for a new home. This was also where Tsuji was born. H A L I F A X_M A N O R_:: Huan Yi & William's second home in the city. A mysterious manor belonging to Piero Halifax, who invited his colleague William and his family to live with them. They had only been living there a few months before the family left under swift, emergency circumstances. They were welcomed to remain and never go for want, but the Egans did not feel comfortable without giving back.M O S S B R A E_A P A R T M E N T S A flurry of calls and searching turned up this apartment building, freshly built to accommodate the sprawling suburban population. Very nicely kept, with sprawling lawns in between the apartment buildings, some with small playgrounds. A fitness center is fixed at the front of the complex, along with the mail boxes and the main office. A step above the Cornerstone Apartments in terms of facilities and rent. The small savings & trust fund for William and Huan Yi sustains them well enough here for a while, but in order to maintain things, the younger will need to acquire a part time job.
The residents seem nice, although quieter and much less nosy than their previous apartment.
The complex is located about 5 miles out of town. Ninga phelelwa nga mandla ~ d o n ' t ; l o s e ; y o u r ; s t r e n g t h

Egg to Child Quest [ G.r.o.w.t.h. xxxQ.u.e.s.t. ]
Unafraid to make noises and move to garner massive amounts of attention, as of late Tsuji's egg seems to have fallen silent and appears to just...sit there. Did something happen somewhere along the way that could have caused her to just...not care anymore? Or is she waiting for that chance to do something extravagant and go the extra mile?
