The Mice of Journey's End InnStart: Now End:Thursday, March 23rd, 8pm east Deep in the mountains there are a series of three valleys. In the South Western valley was a rather standoffish group of ponies with flutter heritage in the Brughadair Kingdom, too the North Eastern Valley, A large territory of Pixie live in the mounds and caves, shying away from strangers and mining glowing rocks for trade with those they trust, And then the South Eastern Valley there is a valley kingdom of the Flutter-winged, living their lives in miniature in the Secluded and rather hidden kingdom of Aos Sí. Not far from the mountain pass where the Three Kingdom's meet, exists a an Inn set into the hillside: it's opening made with a bit of broken pottery and its inside out of a Rabbit Warren. A popular resting spot for Smaller familiars and flutters coming from and going to the kingdoms to take a break, get a few drinks and a warm meal and maybe a good place to sleep in the crossroads between the kingdoms. Some of the Inn's Signs cheerfully call the place An Ceann Turas Inn while other's declare it "The Journey's End Inn". And it is here where a young Mother mouse and her mate will raise their litter, with the help of their biological father. Welcome to the Kingdom of Aos Si, and welcome to Journey's end. These are the mice you are trying for.  Candy Hearts --------------------- Frost shield

 MomName: Aisling Played by: Mindsend About: Sweet, if a little sassy, Aisling is a waitress hired to help serve food to patrons at An Ceann Turas Inn (At the End of the journey Inn) as the owners of the Business, Caoimhe And Ailill, were running low on Hands actually capable of serving food to keep up with the demand and had to settle with sending their son Diarmaid around with a harness to carry food on trays for customers to serve themselves from and it was getting to be a bit overwhelming. Working together, with Diarmaid carrying the trays with his harness, and Aisling serving the food as quickly as possible with a joke and a tease, the two began working off each other to entertain their guests and improve their chances of good tips. Eventually the sass and teasing back and forth became more than just friendship, and instead a romantic attraction. It was easier on Diarmaid, and he was the first to admit it, as he had grown up with flutters and Familiars as equals. Aisling however had only grown up around Mice and rats, an had only ever dated those of her own subgroup of familiars before, except for that one time she tried dating a Squirrel, and that had been a disaster. Despite neither being physically interested in the others species, her being a mouse and him being a Flutter, the two eventually began dating, and fell deeper in love and eventually did an Aos Si lifemating ceremony to be romantically Loyal (though physically they were still in an Open relationship). Some outsiders -- flutters or familiars not from the Aos Si Kingdom (Where such pairings are considered Rare but perfectly healthy and not unheard of -- though there are members of the kingdom that feel strongly against such pairings) that visit the Journey's End for something to eat and drink or a room to rent, try to belittle their relationship, but most of those who raise a real ruckus about it are simply kicked out.  Biological DadName: Mattimeo Played by: Syrius Lionwing About: Mattimeo is a caring brave soul but he does have a slight reckless side, despite being a mouse he will run into battle against larger opponents without any thought about what he is getting himself in to. He is a great fighter though and usually, mostly comes away unscathed. He met Grizzik during his travels and followed him on his journey to find a new home. He is loyal to a fault and even though he continues to go on journeys which usually put him in peril, he always returns home to his friend to tell his stories and see how the kids are doing. He met Aisling and Diarmaid at the Tavern and Inn they live and work at and became friends with both of them.  DadName:Diarmaid Played by: Mindsend About: Son of Caoimhe x Ailill, Diarmaid grew up doing odd jobs around the Inn, and socializing with their guests. He grew up in a setting where what a guest was didn't matter nearly as much as Who a guest was, and because of it he grew to be incredibly empathetic as well as having difficulty seeing Flutters and Familiars as "Different" in any way other than looks. The Inn was growing in fame and popularity as he reached adulthood, and the waitstaff were becoming overwhelmed, unable to carry the heavy trays and keep them balanced while they moved place to place. Soon Diarmaid and his Father Ailill were wearing harnesses that allowed them to carry the food, but still lacked enough hands to serve all the tables. That's when they hired Aisling, a quick and friendly Woodland Jumping Mouse familiar, and teamed him up with her to help serve food. The two quickly became best friends with their playful banter, but one evening after everyone who was staying the night settled down the two were laughing and enjoying a few drinks, they both turned toward each other and found they had both sat too close, their noses bumping. After a brief couple of days of confused flustered feelings, they both realized that they had started having romantic feelings. Soon after the two had fallen deeply and fully in love, and did an Open Lifemating agreement, similar to the one Diarmaid's parents were in -- the two were to be romantically loyal to one another, but were otherwise in an open relationship.   GrandparentsName: Caoimhe Played by: Mindsend Name: Ailill
Played by: Mindsend About: Diarmaid's parents. They're "Lifemated" By Aos Si standards, though that simply means they are romantically devoted to one another and require permission from the other to spend 'time' with another. They're super involved with the raising of their grandchildren, and growing up many of them would spend time working in their Inn and Tavern or around it, such as keeping track of the traveler's Shrine they keep (a common place for leaving offerings and wishes to the wishing star or to traveling spirits), The stable/aviary for Feral-Minded domesticated steeds of guests and workers there, Such as Troghan and Coinean ((feral minded domesticated species of Corvid (Troghan) and Hare (Coinean) native to the area that behave similarly to Horses in our universe.) The Journey's EndA Rather Open and visible location compared to much of the kingdom, the entrance way built under some rocks and its opening decorated merrily with found items and finely familiar crafted banners and signs, the An Ceann Turas Inn, also often just called "Journeys End Inn" is run by a Lifemated (Though Lovemated by Kawani standards due to their Open relationship.) couple of Sidhe (Pureblooded Flutters) And their occasionally mixed heritage offspring, and built into a well decorated and shaped rabbit warren, given many group stables and even the occasional private room, as well as serving prepared foods and drinks and providing song and entertainment.. All are welcome to take shelter, and grazing is free within their territory, but prepared foods and private rooms require some form of payment in return. They're a popular watering hole for working familiars, primarily mice and squirrels, and patrons that treat familiars poorly are quickly asked to leave. Fighting is forbidden within their territory. Hunting must be limited to non-familiar game (Such as fish or insects). Dragonflies, Spiders, and Butterflies are forbidden game however, as they are commonly kept as pets. And since it's generally forbidden to hunt-to-kill fireflies (as their most popular outdoor light source and are raised regularly by those who live there. They're bitter and nasty tasting anyway) or Bees (for their honey and wax (Though if you own a Hive your self, if you wish to raise them less for their wax and honey and more for their stings, venom, and meat it is within your right to do so) within the kingdom it doesn't really need mentioning to the locals but they will remind you of this anyway with regularity due to the fact they get enough travelers from other areas to make it clear that it is forbidden. Is a Common Place for Outsider Flutters to stop buy and get their first taste of the culture as it is clearly advertised and designed with Flutters in mind, and out in the open (but protected from most attacks), and decorated with flower designs to invite them in. Biological Dad's Companions Name: Grizzik Played by: Syrius Lionwing About: Grizzik is of the arokka migration and has a troubled past, he beleives himself to be the last surviving member of his particular family line after a fire wiped out his siblings and hatch brother. During the fire his throat was burned so he finds it difficult to speak in anything but a dull monotone. He is however a gentle giant and has recently fathered three daughters.  Name: Aspasia Played by: Magnadearel About: Grizzik's mate. Siblings Name:Ailsa (Fairy Rock) Played by: Mindsend About: A Sian Marcach Teasair (Wind Riding Messenger), Ailsa has had more than a few close calls while she got her training riding the back of Kasey, her Troghan (A type of Feral-minded Domesticated Corvid raised similar to how we raise horses, Unrelated to the more human-like Spirit touched Preachan (Raven/Crow) Familiars), that has resulted in her ears getting snagged by tree branches, especially due to her thrill seeking and risk taking behavior to increase her speed. After a few too many tears in her ears (as seen on her image here) She eventually gets her ears trimmed and modified into a more aerodynamic backwards facing tube. She wears plugs at the base of her ears that, when on land, she replaces with gauges that amplify and funnel sound into her ears the way they did before hand. She's a messenger and delivery mouse for hire, flying small letters and packages all across the valley, taking a day to do what would take a couple weeks by foot for the small members of the valley, either on the back of Kasey or with a Fellow Sian Marcach, a Falcon Familiar named Cadman.  Name: Sayna Played by: Syrius Lionwing About: Born under a lucky spring star Sayna has always felt blessed to have wings, unlike her more rough and tumble siblings though she enjoys the quiet life staying at home and helping with the inn. She worries deeply about her adventurous siblings so she trained to be a nurse so that when they came home she could treat their wounds. She uses her flight to her advantage using the speed it gives her to both serve customers and provide medical care to those in need. In addition, the spirit's of the season apparently deemed to give the girl cute little wings similar to her Non-biological father.  Name: Locke Played by: Magnadearel About: Locke is a knight of the Inn and his dagger is named Sedgewick. Locke is a sharp eyed mouse, and he must be. For he has made it his duty to guard and protect any valuables placed within his care by the owners or travelers stopping to visit. He does like to venture out and travel in search of treasures for himself on occasion, for what good is a guard with no treasure? Locke has a certain amount of attitude and pride in his profession. He won't take a slight on his honor lying down. Sometimes his pride can get him into trouble with some imagined slight. He's bonded to a Flutter Ceryneicorn named Papillion

Some basic conceptsKids Can be Tavern/Inn workers, messengers, knights, guards, warriors, adventurers, architects, builders, carpenters, artists, musicians, body guard etc. They are to be raised in a loving, close knit setting surrounded in a wide variety of familiars and Soquili alike. And unlike their Mother and her lifemate (their primary father), they will also have regular opportunities around Non-Flutters and larger familiars with their biological father. They will never be for want for anything, and allowed to do what they are passionate about, and to work hard for it and never expect handouts. As for their items: Is it a shield, is it a tray for food? Some sort of toy? Do they candies they make, or do they simply have a sweet tooth and enjoy getting oversized treats from fullsize ponies passing the area because they last longer? Are they even candy or novelty pillows or brightly colored whimsical stepping stones for that little trickle of spring water down the way a little? Kids cannot BeThieves, murderers, assassins, beggars, relentlessly bigoted, or criminals. While we can't stop you from doing that after you get them, we can request you not do so for the submissions. If you do you are unlikely to be considered for other contests involving families, and will be written out of the family canon. AdditionallyThe children will be raised in one of the traditional ways of the Seelie (Despite being Mice): They will be allowed to choose their official name as they reach adulthood (whether to keep their childhood name or change it) And are raised without a gendered pronoun until they actively desire to be called something in particular. About the KingdomDeep in the mountains there is a valley. To most it seems wild and thick with trees with gnarled roots and areas thick with brambles, vines, and bushes, and at times seeming as if the Humans had abandoned the place in a haste, leaving their trash behind. It seems, for the most part, abandoned, save for the occasional knight who keeps friendly but wary watch for no apparent reasoning, or a shuffling of movement. Upon closer inspection, one then might notice that most of what is here is made for those who happen to be smaller.. Much, Much Smaller. This is the Aos Si kingdom, and most of the wanderers who slowly pick their way through this land simply aren't truly part of their world, existing only in the land of those who are big, members of the Fada Tir, or Tall Lands. However, for Flutters and the smaller species,their land is a land of music, art, and culture. Found artifacts become part of a building, and shelters and dwellings litter the land: This is a land of taverns and castles, Dwellings made from dried gourds and hallowed out trees. A land where Lizards, mice and squirrels are blacksmiths and tailors, architects and painters, and only Soquili of Flutter wings can venture. With this contest, I welcome you to the Eachan Tir -- The small lands. This is not a herd, but rather a kingdom and culture, and it is for the most part in the works so hasn't been fully written up or developed, but there is still plenty to read from what HAS been written. If you'd like to know more about the Aos Si Kingdom and the Eachan Tir, Follow this link to the work in progress information thread. If you have a flutter (or a fitting familiar) That you wish to have come from this kingdom in a backstory, feel free to! If you'd like to officially still live in it, hopefully I will have it set up soon. For Non-flutters (or larger familiars) that wish to be connected to it, there are also two neighboring allied kingdoms mentioned on the linked thread. A "Sheltered" life Rabbit Warrens carefully shored up with Mouse carved wood holding up the walls and spiraling pebble floors with clear or amber colored natural resin cured hard into a smooth, water proof surface, the entrance ways protected with an awning made out of a chipped pottery plate buried into the earth and held up with twisty little vines that grow over the area. A broken Lantern with its front 'door' opened and buried partially in the ground, a tree growing partially into it as an entrance way to the inner hallow of the tree, its glittering colored glass lit up from the inside with fireflies, and pieces of glass spotted in holes of the once living tree. Woven baskets create small private nests in the branches of the trees, festooned with colorful pieces of broken pottery and colored glass. Woven brambles with flowering vines over the layered leaves for waterproofing, creating a dry dome for groups to rest under and enjoy the tiny little squirrel made fire within, hiding from the wet and cold while enjoying high spirits and good company. While much of it is hidden or easily overlooked by larger soquili, the land of the Aos Si is an odd mix of finely crafted Squirrel, Mouse, bird, and their clawed and pawed flutter members craftmanship, found items, and the wealth of the wood around it. The few Kawani who had spotted some of the work of those who had come from the Aos Si and had moved out into the world beyond often believe that it belongs to tiny human beings. In reality, the flutters and familiars of the Aos Si are often the source. Beds and couches are common here, usually shallow woven nests lined with furs and fabrics and cushions, or even sometimes carved out of wood and vines. Often times it is both, the nest placed on top or within a strong decorative wooden frames. Lanterns are common, often lit with a small oil fed flame, fireflies, and, on some occasions, simply crafted out of glowing stones that are common in the Kawani lands. types of shelter Private Property: These are often small shelters only able to fit a few ponies or familiars at a time, plus store enough food for them in the winter, though some are larger depending on their location and the family. Wealthy and/or old and/or industrious families might have larger homes simply because they can either afford it, have owned it long enough that it has grown, or continuously add to it. These belong to single families of Familiars and/or Flutters. Stableyard: Usually woven within brambles into a dome shape, Stableyards are large areas with a hole on the top with leaves and leathers used to make them water and wind resistant, usually built right up to an earthen mound dwelling used to store food, and a tunnel made to another, smaller dome with a latrine. The entire shelter has vineed flowers coaxed to grow over it to thicken the protection and armature of the dwelling. Come late fall, early Winter, Stableyards become shelters to Rogue flutters and familiars who couldn't afford shelter in an inn, rent a private dwelling, or find a family willing to house them. Food and drink tends to be basic goods, though if you wish to take your portions, or any food you brought yourself, and have it prepared in the central bondfire you can. Privacy is impossible in this group setting, instead being more a case of "if you see something private look away", but when you live your life tiny up in the mountains, privacy is less important than food, warmth, and company, and these free shelters are vital hubs of community. Some who need more privacy either bring or rent screens to create a bit of a block from others, but since you can simply mark off an area with a circle of stones and it's considered rude to stare at people when they're in 'their' area The Journey's End Inn has both Private dwellings and a Stableyard. Meanwhile the family (and the occasional temporary worker at the tavern renting a room from the family) lives in a dwelling built attached to but to the side of their business in a second warren. Names and Naming CeremoniesFoals (And in this case mouse children) do not have an official name until their canon first birthday, often being called a variety of nicknames or the name a parent hopes will stick. Once they reach their first birthday, not only do the parents understand their child's personality better, but the child is old enough to consent to the name given to them and can choose their favorite name out of what is offered or go by an adaptation of the pet name they had gone by before then. For example, a child often called "Honey" might end up being named Mitsu (honey). Once they reach adulthood, a second Naming Ceremony takes place on their third birthday, and then they can opt to change their name, or take on a second, official name. Sometimes, a member of the Aos Si might choose to add another official name in an official ceremony as part of a lifemating ceremony, often adding their mates name or family name to the middle of theirs. Additionally, titles can often be added on as well for feats, skills, and abilities. (Note: Most of the Family has Gaelic Names while the biological father is named after Red Wall character.) GenderWhile it does depend on the individual families (thus resulting in clashes sometimes from families who originated outside of the lands and thus disagree with tradition), traditionally foals are raised without gender roles, often being called Sprites, and gender neutral pronouns used as an overall whole until a child insists on a particular pronoun. At which point, unless or until they identify otherwise, they will be referred to by their preferred pronouns and descriptors. There are no set gender roles within the Kingdom, and titles are not given by the sex of the individual, but rather the job or rank they have taken, though sometimes by their gender identity.

Mouse's Name:Keeva
Biological Sex:Female
Gender identity:Female
Tell us about them:Keeva is a rather shy and gentle soul. Always wanting to please someone. Yet don't let her meek and gentle ways fool you. She has a temper but it is only on the rare occasion which it presents itself. Often in creative ways too.
When she was young she became interested in what happens in the kitchen. Though it didn't take long for her to figure out that instead of cooking she had a great love for baking. Sweets, candies, breads, and more. She grew to like the way others grew to enjoy the things which she made. So when she was old enough to fully join her parents in working at the Inn. That is precisely what she did.
She is soft spoken and very content with her life at the inn. Trying her best to make the best candies and sweets around. Especially on those special days.. Though best to look out on how you treat her.. If something gets her mad it is a possibility that a sweet candy with a not so sweet message can be left in front of their doorstep. Though nothing too harmful as to bring much anger.. After all.. in the end they got a sweet out of it!
Tell me what you like about Rping familiars: I love how they can change a dynamic in a rp or bring a new perspective.
What do you like about the Aos Si?: I love how diverse it is and how it reminds me of the Red Wall books.. Now I want to reread those books again!

Mouse's Name: Carlin ( "little champion", Gaelic)
Biological Sex: Male
Gender identity: Male
Tell us about them: Carlin is a very dutiful mouse, doing whatever is asked of him and putting one hundred and ten percent into everything he does. In his youth, he doesn't really have much of a passion for anything and spends his days doing oddjobs around the inn, the usual job being acting as a server alongside his mother. As he got older, he expressed an interest in acrobatics, jumping elegantly from table to table while balancing food on the shield the spirits gave him at birth. Eventually, he found himself developing an interest in fighting, namely self-defense and the protection of others. This interest paired with the tales he heard of great warriors from some of the patrons of the Inn inspired him.
He sought out his parents to tell them that one day he would become a noble knight, protector of the small folk and upholder of truth and honor! They in turn told him to follow his dreams. That said... He didn't exactly know where to start in becoming a knight, so he's just waiting for a patron who is already a knight to visit and take him on as a squire! In the meantime, he's learning what he can from anyone at the inn who will help him and is acting as a bouncer for the inn.
Tell me what you like about Rping familiars: I like getting into the different worlds that familiars can have, like the wolf packs that I see floating around or just in family groups. I've become particularly invested in my own wolf family tree which inspires me to RP familiars more.
What do you like about the Aos Si?: I really like how detailed it is! It reminds me a lot of the Red Wall books which I think will be a really interesting contrast to how I view the Soquili universe, even though they're set (technically?) in the same world.

Mouse's Name: Keeva ( "gentle, pretty", Gaelic)
Biological Sex: Male
Gender identity: Fluid (usually goes by she/her, they/them pronouns)
Tell us about them: Keeva is a mouse that possesses a passion for confectionery sweets. While their other siblings are off gallivanting off on various adventures, Keeva is comfortable at the Inn as one of the bakers and maker of sweet treats. They are in charge of all the desserts that come from the kitchen, whether it's simply overseeing another baker's work, or making something themselves.
While making candies and baked goods will always be Keeva's first love, they also take immense delight in making themselves beautiful. They like more feminine looks and make the effort to "doll themselves up" by accessorizing accordingly. After seeing necklaces around the necks of other familiars and flutters, they were determined to get some of their one, and managed to barter the string of beads you see around their neck for some of their famous candy hearts. They also enjoy slicking the extra fluff on the top of their head back and are desperately trying to grow it out into long wavy locks, though it doesn't seem to want to grow much more than it has already. Oh well.
A family mouse through and through, Keeva will stand by their parents and siblings through thick and thin. Taking on an almost grandmotherly stereotype, Keeva will be the family member that will make sure that their loved ones will always be stuffed with sugary treats!
Tell me what you like about Rping familiars: As mentioned in my first post, I like getting involved in the characters I RP and with familiars, their points of view are usually drastically different than their Soquili companions.
What do you like about the Aos Si?: As mentioned earlier, I like that it reminds me of the Redwall books and that it follows a different culture while still occupying the same world.

Mouse's Name: Drystan (meaning: "filled with sadness," Gaelic)
Biological Sex: Male
Gender identity: Male
Tell us about them: Drystan was born with a sword in his hand and a shield on his back, or so the tales say. He trained from an early age to become a great and noble knight. His desire to protect the kingdom as unyielding as the mountains. Ready to take on any enemy whom should try to conquer the Aos Si.
He fought with dignity and honor, never killing unless absolutely necessary, and progressing upwards in the ranks at an inordinate pace. Drystan was happy and content in these days. His kindness and sense of humor often brought smiles and joy to those he encountered. None could claim him undesirable either. Yes, life was truly grand, full of adventure of purpose.
However, life sometimes deals a dark hand. An incident occurred on Drystan's watch, through no real fault of his own. Nobody blamed him for the outcome of the event, save for himself. Ashamed and disheartened, Drystan retired from his chosen profession, taking on various jobs to get by before eventually settling into life as a carpenter.
His once boisterous attitude became more subdued. The shield and sword he once brandished with passion now dull reminders of his former self. His only endeavor to lead an unassuming life, far from the prying eyes of others. Drystan does make an effort to keep close with his family at the Journey's End Inn. He can often be found frequenting the establishment, if only to catch up with his family members or to assist with repairs.
Tell me what you like about Rping familiars: I love being able to have them interact with the Soquili. It adds a new dynamic to the RP where each can play off of the other in some way. I especially love it when they have completely different personalities yet are somehow drawn to one another. The snark is epic.
What do you like about the Aos Si?: I like the culture that it brings to the land. It gives more depth to the story.

Mouse's Name: Toko (alternate of "Thoko" which is shortened of "Thokozani" meaning 'thank' in Chewa)
Biological Sex: Male
Gender identity: Male
Tell us about them: Though one might assume that he'd be frigid, Toko is one of the most cheerful bartenders you're likely to meet (and inarguably, he'd like to say, the best in Aos Si). Armed with a winter motif tray that probably could be used as a shield if a brawl were to break out, this cheerful mouse would rather serve drinks and share stories or gossip than do any real fighting (he'll leave that to Locke, who is admittedly better at it).
His favorite thing about working the Inn is the wide variety of strangers he get to meet and serve on any given day. Unwilling to stay behind any sort of wall (even a low one) when there's an eager public out there, Toko spends most of his days darting too and fro with his tray on his paw and does his best to keep the drinks flowing.
On a slow night he might entertain you with a story, and with the proper bribe you may even convince him to play drums while someone sings. At the end of the day, Toko aims to ensure everyone's Journey ends pleasantly, in the warm comfort of the inn.
Tell me what you like about Rping familiars: I love that familiars can have a whole host of jobs that they can do to help their fellow Familiars and Soquili! While Soquili may be hindered by their hooves or paws, familiars are able to all sorts of tasks and can really help move a story or herd or inspire character growth in a pony.
What do you like about the Aos Si?: I think one of my favorite things about Aos Si, aside from the sheer range and flexibility and character options present, is how they treat gender and character identity. The freedom of choice in names and the acceptance of genders/identities is very freeing and welcoming.

Mouse's Name: Birth name: Fortune | Sona (SUN-a) - 1st naming ceremony
– Happy, lucky, fortunate MAY FORTUNE SMILE
Biological Sex: Female
Gender identity: Female
Tell us about them:Sona is savvy, adventurous sort. She started off in the kitchen, learning to prepare treats and other meals for the guests. But, a life of seclusion wasn’t for her. One wild night she found herself chasing a group of intrepid travellers down a long forgotten tunnel in search of an ancient treasure horde. The night would’ve ended in tragedy, too, If it wasn’t for the lunch she had packed. Upon discovering the treasure, the group encountered its adoptive guardian: a massive rattlesnake that thankfully had a love for sweets. After their narrow escape, the group was quite thankful for her company. She went on a few more excursions and picked up a couple tricks along the way like dousing the candy with sleeping potion. Needless to say, she’s invited to all the adventuring parties now and she became the group's official cook. Just don’t upset her or you might be sleeping in your stew!
Tell me what you like about Rping familiars: To be honest, I haven’t RPed them much, yet, other than a few sentences with their bonded Soquili, but I plan on changing that. I can see so much potential with them, now.
What do you like about the Aos Si?: I really like that it's a whole new world to explore, right under our noses. I’m also a sucker for Redwall haha

Mouse's Name:Eimear. Named after the first naming ceremony this little one name in Gaelic means quick.
Biological Sex: Female
Gender identity: Female
Tell us about them:
Personality
Eimear is quick and by quick I don't just mean that she is physically fast. She is in fact a speedy little mouse both in mind and body. Her mouse brain is quick which can be good as she's very clever at making quick decisions . Eimear is also quick to fall in love and quick to fall out of love. Eimear thinks all pretty soq or fams are her personal eye candy. She's a rather opinionated little mouse who loves the feeling of being in love but perhaps has never actually loved any fam or soq with her whole heart. Eimear is Bi but it's more like she has little regard for gender and cares more about whether a potential partner is cute.
Eimear is also a very warmhearted individual. She would put herself in great risk if needed if it could help a friend or family member.
She finds other fams and soq interesting. Eimear is very curious by nature and one of her favorite pastimes is to hear patrons tell stories about their travels. Sometimes she wishes she could travel and have her own adventures but it's very entertaining to listen to others. Eimear especially loves it when the Bards visit An Ceann Turas Inn. Music and song sound heavenly when bard is performing. Especially if the bard is lovely to look at -
in her words
"It's the marshmallow to hot chocolate. Hot chocolate is wonderful but add marshmallows and it's extra special. Not that cute fam and soqs are marshmallows but they can sure be pretty to look at and they can make you feel all gooey inside,Eimear said with a wink "
Profession
Well her personal job is stock manager. She keeps track of what materials are needed at the kitchen at An Ceann Turas Inn. Eimear has a quick mind and she good at math skills and keeping spit-spot /being fast and organized.
Her unofficial job is paying matchmaker to the patrons at An Ceann Turas Inn. Eimear loves love in all forms even if it doesn't involve her. She takes great pleasure in matching up partners. She will often give out candy heart to patrons and encourage them to fall in love.
Tell me what you like about Rping familiars: It's a new and different experience from rp soq. Flutters and fams get to see the world around them in a different light then regular and big soq.
What do you like about the Aos Si?: It kind of fantasy inspired like the books I often read when I was much younger and occasionally do now. It's also kind of a unique freedom where much is possible.

Syrius Lionwing and I have talked and we've come up with our winners! But we also discussed something else which will be mentioned here as well. First I'd like to announce our winners For Candy Hearts its AislingJuno! And for Frost Shield it is ~Latonia de la Courtel~HOWEVER: All of these characters were really neat: While some may not fit with the family exactly (Though most would), they all were amazing characters that belong fully in the Aos Si kingdom and should exist. As a colorist, I've built up a Lot of stock of Familiars I preordered for special occasions or for whenever an idea hits. I'd like to make all those who did NOT win a semi-custom mouse inspired by their character concept using some of my private stock, but only if you want them to live as a Character. If you want your character, please send Some color preferences and your Submission(s) to Sezja Kuznetsov (if you made more than one, send both and I can pick my favorite of the two characters to make), as well as whether or not you'd like to find out if your character could work as an adopted child of Aisling and Diarmaid.
