Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Lián Huā

Nicknames: None Yet

Breed: Chinese White

Attached to: NA

Alignment: Senshi

Blood Type: A

Fav. Food: Coconut Shrimp

Hated Food: ....Hotdogs....what is that monstrosity?

Hobbies:
Astronomy: The stars are something that hold great interest to her, especially the constellations and their corresponding mythology, and how names and such differ in English than their Chinese counterparts. Her previous owner would often stargaze or gaze through his telescope with her on his lap, contently napping as he would ramble away to her. Now a mauvian there is much she remembers, but sadly her owner has passed on and its hard to operate a telescope as a cat. Still, she loves books, even if she has a hard time reading English, and loves star-charts.

Flower-arranging: One of Lians greatest pass-times is flower based. Much to her sorrow it is hard to do without thumbs. She loves to arrange flowers, she will lurk around flower shops, gardens, it doesn't matter. Luckily she can play off anyone catching her messing with the flowers as playful cat like batting ( Which is fun in its own right, not that she would say that out loud ) Senshi and knights may find her sprucing up their homes with flowers.

Catting: This... this is a guilty pleasure that she will never admit. She will be at her most cat like when people aren't watching. Checking a room before indulging in sitting in a box, which is greatly satisfying. Once or twice she has even pushed a glass off of a counter when at a senshi's house. Oh she cleans it up, and never speaks of it... but surely the human will be confused when the glass is missing. Chaseing string, crawling into paper bags... its all so decadent.


Virtues:
Caring: Mom-cat to the rescue. She has a very strong maternal instinct, and this applies to kitten mauvians ( or even other full grown guardians she thinks need takeing care of ), senshi, knights, humans, pretty much everyone, even to some extend chaos agents who somehow dissuade her of her normal set suspicions. She will cuddle and purr for you, she will give very mom-like advice, lecture you when she feels you need it, give you the mom glare, and praise you when you have done well. You are her strange hooman-babies, and she is your fur-mom, so she will do her best to keep you all safe and happy

Patient: Lian often has an air of calm around her, and so it makes her a great person to talk to when you need it, or to teach you something / help in anyway. She has a great tolerance for others mistakes, and will sit with you and try something over and over if that is what you need. If she feels a person needs help, that can be applies to her attitude towards them, in how she can play the long game, and give people repeated chances even if they don't necessarily want or take full advantage of them.

Ladylike: Before awakening as a Guardian, she was treated like a lady by her owner, and that has imprinted on her awoken personality quite strongly. Poised and dainty, she will tread lightly, even for a cat. She will sit properly, eat daintily, be mindful of her surroundings and not bump into things / make a mess. Always clean and polite, she is an easy companion for those who want a bit more of a calm guardian. Save the madness for the kittens, she is a Lady, not an animal.

Flaws:
Nosey: Lian thinks it is her business to make sure her "darlings" are safe and happy. Are you getting enough sleep? How are you eating? How is your love life darling? Its been a little to long sense you have been on a date. She is mom-cat, and mom-cat wants you to be happy. Whether you want to be or not. She is curious about you, your friends, how are your friends lives? The concept of personal boundaries to her doesn't really exist in this context, because she cares, and if her intentions are good then she thinks that's all the permission she needs to butt into your life.

Transparent Emotions: Her emotions and thoughts are warn on her sleeve. If she is upset with you, it will show, and effect her decisions. Likewise if she is rather fond of you. She is more likely to doubt people who don't deserve it because she does not like then, and more likely to give second chances to people she does like, even if they do not deserve it in any way. If she is disapproving of something, it will show on her expressions and body language, even if its not something she would ever say out loud.

Suspicious: This does not necessarily apply to people SHE is interacting with, but strangers interacting with people she knows almost instantly falls under instant suspicion. It doesn't matter little senshi, if you have known that person your whole life. Lian does not know her, and that means they are POSSIBLY THE ENEMY. She will be distant and a little cold, with lots of narrowed eyed stares until she learns to trust. This could be from prolonged interaction with the person, or a grand gesture to prove your worthiness... She is a creature run by her emotions, so some people she is less suspicious of, others more-so... but everyone experiences it to some degree.

Challenge: Defaults is : To Protect and Serve!; Can be whatever you wish.

Reserved

You would think she would be pretty easy to see, sure, she was a cat, but she was a pure white cat. She wasn't a fool, she had waiting for the cross walk light to turn, and crossing the path when it should have been safe. So, pray tell, why did this car come zooming around the corner at a drift, and nearly squish her into a kitty-cake?

Luckily though, she was a bit smarter than the average cat, and she had darted out of the way just in time, fairly certain she felt the car brush against her tail as it drifted past. She panted, heart in her mouth and quivered on the sidewalk, her body tucked behind the signal post. She panted and eventually got herself under control.

She shook it off, some humans were unfortunately not blessed with an abundance of brain power. She wondered back to the home of a sweet little old lady who didn't seem to mind her curling up on the soft cushions of the front porch. She had in fact even left a throw blanket, considered it was printed with paw prints, for the specific purpose of curling up in. She nestled up and went to sleep. In the morning when her patron was getting up and going for her normal walk, she stretched an meowed lovingly at her.

The elder woman didn't acknowledge her at all. Well... she was older, and more than likely a little hard of hearing. She groomed herself and was content to lap at the little bowl of water the woman left out for her, it was always fresh and clean and did not make her feel like a stray. She wasn't a stray... not really... she had a human... he had just unfortunately passed away. She missed him dearly.

She shook off the moment of melancholy. Her beloved may have passed, but there were still kind humans, and she could get the affection and attention she craved fairly easy. She nosed the blanket back into a neat little pile in the corner, and meowed sweetly once more at her lady returning from her short little walk. Once again she was not acknowledged... well that was unusually cold for the sweet woman, she usually would chit chat with Lian even if she couldn't understand the Mauvian. She longed to speak to her, but she knew that would only put her in danger.

She strolled the street to the café where she usually managed to get some breakfast. The café had a mascot of a slinking white cat and was styled with purple flowers so people just tended to believe that she was part of the asthetic, and she would get nibbles of peoples food and some cuddles. This brisk morning though she got nothing, SHe twined around feet of the people at the little wrough iron tables and was completely ignored. She hopped up onto a chair and meowed her sweetest little chirping meow at the girl in the booth... and was completely ignored.

What on earth? She made herself more insistent. Inserting herself right in peoples way only to need to dart to not get stepped on, one point even jumping onto the counter. No one said anything or acknowledged her in anyway, and she felt a sinking feeling. This was not normal.

She left the café with a frown on her furry little face, meowing at trangers on the street, rubbing against the legs of a many trying to buy a newspaper who didn't seem to notice at all.

This went on all day, tille ventually she went back, wracking her brain for whatever was happening, why this was happening, to the hosue of the old woman who was so kind to her. Night was settling now and she was hungry and upset, confused as well. She saw the elderly woman come out with a small bag of trash that she emptied every day, regardless of how little was in there, and felt her heart sink for a minute, until she adjusted her glasses and lit up.

" Oh there you are my lovely! I was so worried about you when you didn't come home all night! ' She abandoned her little bag of trash and gave her some scratches under the chin, and Lians heart soared. "You didn't come home, I bet your hungry, I have some left over chicken, ill give you a treat. Just don't tell my husband I am feeding you, he has already given me a hard time over your blanket " She chucked and took the trash out, to come back and give Lian a little dish of tender chicken and a saucer of milk. Lian had no idea what had happened, but she was just grateful that it was over... she hoped.
