Name:Keithia
Name Meaning:- The origin of Keithia is English and it means 'Forest' or wood.
Why did you choose this name: Well nature is important to Nevena and it's becoming important to Hollie . Since both parents have plant names I felt it was important for the foal to have a nature inspired name. Plus these foals with be part Dryad so i felt a name that means forest or wood would suit such a pretty green foal.
Temper: naturalist
Personality:
Keithia kind of an odd gall. In some families her personality might stand out and a few soq might think her anti-social. However her personality fits perfectly with Hollie and Nevena . Keithia is a naturalist she seeks to preserve nature and the equilibrium of the forest. Her mother Nevena enthralled her at a young age with stories about the wonder of nature. As a very young foal she first wandered away from her family and walked into the woods by herself while following a gold monarch butterfly. Instead of feeling alarmed and scared at finding herself alone. Keithia revelled in the magnificence of the forest. The sounds of nearby birds who at first were silent when she entered the forest but after realizing she was no threat let out calls of such beauty. Their song thrilled her with it's magnificence. The way moss only grew on one side of the trees puzzled her and the way light hit the forest was beautiful. Some of the forest was quite dark but then beams of light hit the forest floor. Hollie and Nevena soon found Keithia and spoke to her about disappearing . However Nevena understood the joy Keithia experienced while roaming in the forest by herself. As she got older Keithia often wandered in the forest by herself. She was enamored by the glorious nature that surrounded her .Keithia could often be found nursing some animal or trying to mimic their cries.Often she would wander far away from her family feeling the need to explore . She is also a bit of an airhead about time she really just pays attention to the sun rising and setting and how sunlight affects nature.

As an adult Keithia has even started to try to graft flowers to create her own flower . She wants to have a flower to be her own creation but mostly she feels that nature creates it's own perfection. Keithia also gathers what knowledge she can about healing medicinal plants and medical practices. So that she can help animals in need as well as her family if the need arose.

Keithia however is not the best in dealing with soq outside her family. She spends a lot of time a lone so her social skills are a bit rusty. She feels a bit awkward with strangers and it takes her awhile to be comfortable. Keithia tends to be on the quiet side but she grows animated with strangers when nature it discussed. She loses her nervousness and can talk for hours about a particular beetle or tree(Poor Listeners!) . She is also very curious to hear other soq talk about their travels through the soq lands.

Favourite plant and/or flower: She loves all plants even poisonous ones interest her.
However I like weeping willows . I have one in my front yard that is huge.

Basket Name: Stellar Genesis
--- Meaning / Inspiration Stellar – relating to stars; consisting of stars . Genesis -an origin, creation, or beginning. Stellar Genesis is a term astronomers use when they are discussing the birth of stars.
Star foal and a baby star name =cuteness
When a cloud of gas collapses it gets denser and a start is formed- If you want to see a picture of stars forming look up the Eagle Nebula.

Character Song: arabesque #1 written by Debussy. Who is amazing I’ve sang several of his French songs in voice recitals and his work Clair de lune always makes my eyes misty.

Likes/Dislikes:
Likes; His family , The stars, watching the planets, the sky in general, stories, sparkly objects like shinny rocks and minerals, The ocean, Night blooming flowers, pumpkins -his favorite food. * Soq that love star gazing

Dislikes; Cloudy weather, Summer- because it has long days and short nights, Snow, evil in nature soq or fams, beets-least favorite food. He also doesn't like extremely pushy soq. He can be a bit guarded like Nephilim and super pushy soq irritate him .


Personality:

‘Star watcher,’ should be Stellar Genesis name though some soq do affectingly call him this nickname. Stellar Genesis seems to have been surround by stars as soon as he first opened his eyes as a foal. Father Nephilim's purple star coat and papa Anahi's star accessories. To Stellar Genesis, looking up at the night sky was like looking at another facet of his family. The sky was like family to him, it was familiar, beautiful and mysterious. The love he felt for his fathers and siblings he also felt for the sky. The planets as they wandered through the sky perked his interest why did they move and why did they move backwards at times?

As a foal Stellar Genesis had many why questions, why was the sky blue, why did flowers bloom at certain parts of the year. His papa and father as well as elder half siblings often did their best to answer his 'why questions,' but as times his exuberant manner and never ending questions exhausted them. Stellar Genesis, has a inquisitive acting mind and he starts to develop more of his patient quiet nature as he gets older however the desire to know 'why questions,' Is a trait he is always going to have.

Stellar Genesis's personality is a mix of his parents he's a big dreamer and has his head in the clouds so to speak but his focus is the sky. He's a lot more in touch with present reality than Anahi. Like Nephilim, Stellar Genesis has a private side. He doesn't like others encroaching into he personal space and he needs to warm up to some soq. That being said he is very outgoing and can be extremely exuberant when it comes to something his is passionate about. His number one passion is a tie between his family and space but he is also interested in rocks and nature in general. He will go through extreme measures trying to learn about something he is interested in. His mind is very active but he knows how to channel his energy.

Stellar Genesis as an adult is going to have a more nocturnal lifestyle . He particular enjoys the night as well as the rise and fall of the sun. He loves the sound of owls and night blooming flowers and mushrooms.
Plot/RP Ideas:
1)Storytelling-As a foal he is going to look at the night sky and make his own constellations up and make a story for each star pattern. Some stars are going to be brave soq hero's and other evil walkers. Some stars constellations will be fams and a few humans. He enjoys sharing and entertaining his family with the stories he makes up.

2) We are Family- I'd like the brothers to learn about how their half sibling came about and how their parents met -learn that love is love

3) Mineral Adventure into the caves- It would be fun for the brothers to go on a adventure as foals to try to find a rock or mineral that matches Anahi papa to give their papa a surprise.

4)Will you be my friend?-Stellar Genesis is going to have a bit of trouble making friends as an adult. As a foal he didn't have a problem but as an adult his personality works a bit against him. -If he ever falls in love I pity the poor boy he is going to be so lost. It will be deliciously fun ^-^

5) The hunt for knowledge; As an adult he will travel to other herds and gather their stories about the stars. Stellar Genesis will seek out Angenis with star domains and ask them to share their knowledge.

Anything else?: Thank you for the opportunity . I'm really weary about entering rp contest because some people are so good at them that I never feel like i have a chance to win but the basket is so pretty I wanted to try.

...But We Are Not Men.

Foal Name: Arianne Lyanna Stark - so you don't have to google it ^-^
Meaning of Arianne: "very holy one" Origin of Arianne: French, from Latin Ariadne. Also the name is used at least twice in game of thrones one character is an child who is mentioned to have died in infancy and the other a minor character.
Temper: Secretive
Her story:

"I am forever a mirror and my reality is never reflected clearly." - Arianne Lyanna Stark.

"It is raining, the kind of rain that makes all the animals hide in whatever burrow or home they have constructed. The dark rain clouds move fast through the sky as if the gods are blowing the clouds in some kind of game. Distantly lighting flashed golden as it cuts through the sky. The sound of thunder was a jarring melody, but luckily the lighting was not falling near where we resided. The rain has made the rocks slick and puddles from outside our shelter. I walk to the edge of the cave and l notice my reflection in a puddle. I have dark hair and a baby face that might be considered beautiful when I grow into it. I am rather unimpressed by my looks and I rather wish I had not noticed my reflection. The sound of thunder is getting louder , it's crashing booms closer to our location. My youngest brother Benjen huddles behind my mother who tries to soothe him with a gentle voice. My father fiddles with his sword, an uncommon nervous gesture from a male well trained for battle. I turn my eyes to the sky and hope the clouds fly faster towards the North. "

I wake up from my dream groggily, I am in the boundary between dream and reality. I bite my lip and wince a bit when my mouth starts to sting. The pain is a comfort an anchor to reality. I have dreams and memories that I should not have. At times I do not know if I am Arianne or Lyanna or a blending of both souls. My mother gave me the middle name Lyanna to honor her aunt's memory. It was said that Arya resembled Lyanna but the face I see in my dreams does not look my mothers. The face I see is willful but so young and naive. I do not like her for her too Innocent face and I do not like her for invading my dreams.

I have three siblings, one of them Astrid is a mirror reflection of me. Except for the eyes, hers are a pale blue and they have an inner depth of warmth that my eyes lack. I love all my siblings, but Astrid is very dear to me. She has an inner fire that I lack since I seem to have been born in shadows. I'm the imperfect one and she is my beckoning light who keeps me sane. However, while I love her some secrets I keep even from my sister.

I am Arianne Lyanna Stark, I am the offspring of Arya Stark of the great house/Herd Stark. My father is Yorick son of Ulrick who's family line was born of ice and snow. I am training to become a great warrior like my mother and I hope to carry the Stark name proudly.

I do however, keep secrets from my family. I have dreams and memories that relate to one who was long gone. I do not understand why I have my aunt's memories. Maybe it's because I carry her name and names have power. Do I have part of her shade inside me or is our shared blood some kind of a connection. Is part of my soul broken and is my mind playing tricks? I have so many questions, but I'm afraid to ask. "Why is this happening to me?" Is a question I'll ask out loud when I'm sure no one in my family could overhear me. Even if they knew my struggles, what could they do if I was stuck in a constant loop of Illusion caused by an overactive mind or a ghost of the past. I see no alternatives at present so I keep silent.

When I am older I will venture out and seek answers to my questions, but for now I have a place of memories. It is a Cavern surrounded by a lake of water with a single path connecting it to the shore. The place of memories is not a physical place, but a Mnemonic Device I have used to store memories . Inside my head resides the place of memories. Placing her memories in the cave is the way I try to separate her from me. However, I am young and still learning how to control my mind's inner cavern. I try to lock up her memories, but they still seep out of the cavern. I wish she did not exist in my head, but for know I will bide my time and grow stronger.

- So I know this is a bit of an outlandish concept but I got inspiration from Arya when she is at the House of Black and White in Braavos. I liked the idea of a crisis of Identity and being no one. -- Arianne Lyanna Stark is always going to have questions of Identity and at times walk the trail between sanity and the abbess. However she's always going to be good and is always going to care about her family and the honor of the Starks. Plus she is also going to have joyful days and happiness with her family but she is going to have secrets that she cannot share.


Favorite GoT Character: Well now that is a hard question it's narrowly Arya. However it's almost a tie between characters and I like certain characters more in the book than the tv series. I also adore Daenerys Targaryen , Jon Snow, Asha/ Yara Greyjoy-I prefer her in the book.

Foal Name: Laniakea
---Name meaning immense heaven” in Hawaiian. It can also be translated spacious heaven. I really like astronomy and it's the name of the local super cluster. It's supercluster of galaxies that includes the Milky Way and approximately 100,000 other nearby galaxies!
Foal Personality:


She believes the future can be foretold by the movement of star patterns and planets in the night sky. Laniakea Puts all her faith in the thirteen constellations and the seven planets( Uranus is not visible in the night sky with the blind eye). She thinks the 13th zodiac constellations which are the constellations along the ecliptic are the heavens prophets. If her horoscope told her it would be advantageous to wear a yellow ribbon she would. Laniakea Is a bit unusual that way. She's actually extremely brilliant and is an awesome astronomer. Her observation skills are quite incredible.
However she likes to believe everything is preordained and the future can be foretold. Perhaps she feels uncomfortable making her own decisions or she likes to imagine that there is some universal power that controls everything . For whatever reason Laniakea believes in the power of Astrology.


Have you ever met a person or animal that just didn't realize their size. Well when Laniakea first grows she going to be gawky and clumsy. One factor is just growing into a body that is changing . Another is Laniakea is a day dreamer . She often in her head coming up with fantastical stories with great adventures. In her stories sometime she's the hero rescuing a handsome gent in distress. Other days her clumsiness is do to her nocturnal habit of staying up late to watch stars and the migration of the planets. Laniakea does not do well will little sleep she can be clumsy and a bit grouchy-generally she's a upbeat good in nature foal. As she grows older she is going to loose her physical gawkiness and grow up to have a very elegant demeanor.


Laniakea has a awesome loving large extended family. Her sibling and her have always been safe and cared for. For these reasons Laniakea has not realized that the world can be dangerous. Laniakea is extremely bright but she is a day dreamer .


Don't feed this foal sugar cubes. She will be running in circles around Shahar and Arae. Laniakea can be very patient she will watch the stars carefully for hours. She has the patience to do this because she is very passionate about the night sky. However when her mind is not set on a task she can be a bit energetic. When she filly frisky she can talk a mile a minute and bounce up in the air like a bunny.


Anything else you'd like to offer? Plot concepts, fun images. etc?:

Plots;

Astrology is Wrong?; Laniakea is going to get herself in trouble by following an Astrology reading that is going to and her in a sticky situation and shake up her belief system.

Adventure to the great unknown:As a young adult Laniakea is going to travel by herself or with one of her siblings. She is going to discover the wonder and dangerous nature of other soqs.

Eclipse: She and her sibling are going to see a solar eclipse. Many soq find solar eclipses unnerving but Laniakea been eagerly awaiting a solar eclipse she she can see what zodiac constellation is up during her birth month

The universe is vast ; As an adult she will travel to other herds and gather their stories about the stars. She will seek out Angenis with star domains and ask them to share their knowledge. Eventually she is going to meet a soq with a telescope who will lend it to her and she will see for the first time the planet Uranus.

Entry:



Kai hurriedly raced against his younger brother in what had always been their tradition. Since they had first emerged from their eggs they had been both very close to each other and very competitive of each other. Both of them would risk their lives to protect the other one. They were in general very protective of one another . However while they were protective of each other that didn't mean that they didn't often get into scraps. They often ruff housed and verbally fought with each other. Activities like racing let them get out some of their competitive energy. Neither brother was stronger then the other so every competition was exciting and fresh.

This time Kai was ahead of his brother and he was confident that today victory was going to be his. Perhaps he had been too confident since his younger brother had gained on him while his thoughts had wandered . As his brother swam by the side of him, his brother smiled his pointy teeth in what could only be called a smirk. Kai groaned as his brother let out a burst of speed and shot out ahead of him winning the victory.

His brother did a little victory dance as Kai watched. "Yeah yeah you won you don't have to rub it in," Kai remarked as he raised his hand to wave at his brother. As Kai waved at his younger brother he suddenly realized that the weight of his arm was subtly different. He looked down at his arm, his pale eyes rounding in surprise. He suddenly felt like letting out a whole bunch of mer profanities. " Eirrk!" He screamed which was the most profane trill word in a dolphins vocabulary but was rather a mild swear word for a mer.

His brother raised a brow and looked at him questionably. "It's clearly not my day." Kai said as he raised his arm at his brother to show him the bracelet was gone. " During the race I lost the bracelet mom gave me during our last birthday."

"Do you want some help looking for it?" His brother asked in a concerned manner.

I'm going to search for it myself since I was the one careless enough to lose it. However if I don't find it in a couple of hours I might ask your help. Besides you have plans with a female later today. I don't want to get in your way you need all the help you can get with the ladies." Kai said teasing his younger brother.

His younger brother glared at him before swimming off. Kai chuckled to himself. He might be the big brother but he sure had fun teasing his younger brother. His younger brother was more masculine looking than Kai but when teased his brother flushed red.

Kai thought the best course of action was to check where he and his brother had been racing. Surely he had lost the bracelet during the race, and other time he would have noticed the loss of such an important bracelet a lot quicker. He swam back and forth as his yellow eyed scanned the ocean bottom. For an hour he searched but just as he was starting to feel defeated he noticed a shinny glint off in the distance. Hurriedly he swam towards the glittery object. As he come close to the glittering object his eyes wided in surprise and he tried to prevent the snort of derision that was coming out of him.

The glittering object was indeed his bracelet but a Parrotfish was wearing his bracelet like a crown. Kai thought his bracelet on top of a brightly colored Parrotfish was rather garrish but clearly he and the Parrotfish didn't share the same sense of style.

However among mers Parrotfish were known to be vain creatures. The cared more about the color of their scales then any other fish in the ocean.

Kai flipped his hair over his shoulder. Because of Kai's more feminine style he was sometimes underestimated. However Kai also encouraged other's to underestimate him.He was physically just as strong as his brother and mentally he was one of the smartest in his family. Kai liked to be underestimated but he also liked being who he was and he liked having long hair. Also Kai liked the fact that many female mers loved his long hair. He was used to interacting with females. Unlike his brother who was very shy and had a hard time talking with females.

Kai watched the Parrotfish swim around as if it was prancing with happiness. "My dear ," He called out in greeting to the Parrotfish who suddenly stopped realizing it was being watched.

Kai swam up to the Parrotfish in a lazy manner. He widened his eyes as if suddenly surprised. " Why the object on you head sullies your beauty. It clashes terribly with your fin color. Really my dear you wouldn't want any of the other Parrotfish to see you wearing that. You'd never live it down. Why you would be the laughing stock for months."

The fish's mouth rounded into a OO of surprise. It flicked the bracelet off it's head as fast as it could.

"Now I do believe that beyond the rocks you see in the distance is a place where small sea snails live. Their shells are supposed to be marvelously beautiful and an accessory made out of snail shell would suit the beauty of your sales. Why you might even be able to make a snake out of a snail as well. I call that a win win situation, Kai remarked in a thoughtful manner "

The fish bobbed it's head in thanks towards Kai before swimming off towards the snails.

Kai bent down and picked up the bracelet. He said a small word of thanks to the sea gods before putting the bracelet on his wrist.

"Now I'm the one who has the beauty to pull off this kind of item," Kai remarked happily to himself.
