The season sprites are small creatures formed with magical energy. They embody elemental magic that is found within nature. Each one is related to a particular type, and helps change the seasons and weather in kind. Not everyone can see Wethkin because they are made of magic. If a person doesn't beleive in magic, they are made completely invisible to the senses.
Some Wethkin sprites may never reach their full adult forms without your help (light RPing). Teach and interact with your Wethkin in the nymphchild stage to encourage it to grow into a crysalis. If you are patient, it will grow until it is reborn in an adult form, possibly with some effects that result from your RPing in the child stage :3
Good and bad, Wethkins are gender neutral as they are made up of energy. Breeding is a special process in which the sprites join their magics together to form new sprites. As such, 2 to 3 sprites may chose to mate at a time. RP is required to attempt either numbered partnership :3
1> egg | 2> larvapuff | 3> nymphchild | 4> crysalis | 5> full adult sprite
An Egg -stage lasts 5-10 days- :
- about the size of a gumball, the egg must be protected from predators and accidents
- sensitive to changes in temperature and weather, therefore be sure to always keep an eye on your egg for its safety
- when the weather's right your egg will hatch into the next stage :3
~ - - - - - ~
A Larvapuff -stage lasts 1-2 months- :
- the puff staged Wethkin is about the size of a ping-pong ball
- can emit small amounts of magic of their weather type
- most can also float or hover about (though not all can at this stage)
- some may talk in short sentences, but they usually babble nonsense
- tolerance to temperature is much better now so warmth should not adversly affect a winter Wethkin (however, fire is another subject...)
~ - - - - - ~
A Nymphchild-stage lasts 1-?? months- :
- growing up fast your puff is now a rambunctious child!
- have more mastery over their weather type and can talk in quite
understandable sentences. Teach your Wethkin well, as in this stage they love to learn new things and mimic you on a daily basis.
- about the height of your hand length (6"-7")
- some nymphs may never leave this stage and as a result can become quite the little adults in their attitudes and personality
~ - - - - - ~
Season Symbol - icon of what seasonal type the Wethkin is from, tag color border matches icon/season
Emoticon Bubble - shows general personality or outlook of the Wethkin
Info Tab - shows all the basic information on the Wethkin
Ratity Symbol - common is the triangle, rare is the star
Wethkin Spot - where the Wethkin sits

Please, please read them before posting~!
General Rules
- Read all the info. before posting a question. Please don't PM me questions either cause answering them in the thread helps everyone :3
- Be polite. No one likes to deal with rude customers sweatdrop That means no PMing, begging, harassing anyone or otherwise being difficult :/ There is no reserving. Don't ask.
- Don't PM me unnecessarily. If it can be answered on the thread, save it for the thread.
- Pay attention. If the post says none availiable, no pets are there~! This goes for other front page updates as well.
- Send your trade promptly. If you do get a chance to purchase a Wethkin, please send the trade within 48 hours (2 days) of me notifying you. If not someone else more interested may get it instead.
- Stay alive. You do not have to RP every week (or at all if you don't want your Wethkin to gow very much) but please do stop by the thread to show you are still on Gaia! If you go on vacation please let me know so allowances can be made. If you do not stop by for a period of 2 months, I will raffle off your Wethkin for adoption.
- Only one Wethkin egg per customer, until yours grows to a child. At that time you are allowed a max. of 3 Wethkins at a time (only 1 from a flat sale though). If you wish to/must give up gonk your Wethkin, contact me and it shall be raffled through the shop (sorry, but no gold or item refund - you can have 15% from the raffle ticket sale).
- Please save the images to your own hard drive once your Wethkin is an adult and owners must host their adult Wethkin on their own servers. If this is not possible, tell me so and I will give you a list of free image hosting sites.
- If you break the rules, I do have the right to take your Wethkin and give it to someone else.
- Don't bid if you can't afford. This pretty much deals with only auctions but please, don't bid if you can't pay. It makes things confuzzling and everyone annoyed at you.
- Don't steal art or concepts. domokun Respect others creations. These are not free for you to take, copy/paste or alter in anyway without my persmission, art or story. If you are found stealing or altering artwork, you shall be reported to the a Moderator, Gaian Blacklist, and banned from the shop. Quoting and paraphrasing text is fine as long as you give credit to the original author. Similarities within my story to other stories, are purely coincidental and no characters are based on real people, living or dead.
- Involve yourself. Please feel free to talk to other owners in this thread :3 a separate RP may be set up in a guild the future, but until then discuss your Wethkins in here or in your RP Notebook :3
- Have fun~! That's the point of course 3nodding
RP Rules + Info - People who do not own a Wethkin are welcome to RP in the shoppe given that they follow the rules below. - If you do own a Wethkin, you must RP it to count in this shoppe. Any RP posts without your Wethkin mentioned at all, are not allowed in your Notebook. If you do post without your Wethkin on a regular basis I will warn you. - When RPing in the shoppe thread, keep the setting in the shoppe! Not the guild, or the Notebooks (unless you want to write about your day at the shoppe) or any other random place. You may post Notebook entries in the thread for others to read though.- If you RP in the shoppe thread, I will not count it towards your Notebook unless you re-write it into your Notebook. This means you can be as silly and non-formal as you like but you must edit it to follow the RP rules if you want me to count it towards your Wethkin's growth. - When you're in Out Of Character/OOC during an RP, use double brackets (( )) or Brackets { }. This way, we can tell if you're out of character or not. - Please FORMALLY RP always in Notebooks and Guild (unless stated otherwise in particular guild sub-thread) - No God-modding or godly characters. No Mary-Sues or other annoying stereotypes. No one is perfect. No Copyrighted characters either, fan characters, if not breaking of any other rules, are fine. No relations of any Copyrighted characters either - you are not Sailor Moon's great-grandmother. - Other 'children' or pets are alright to RP if it makes sense (ie. if the shop they are from says not to then don't) but please post a picture of them so we know what you are talking about. Please try and RP only 3 at a time at most.

There are two main ways to get a Wethkin. When they are availiable, it will be in the title of the thread and listed in the Avaliability section (one post down).
A Flat sale is when a wethkin egg is sold for a flat price with no haggling. The flat sale price is 10k (donation letters accepted at 4.5k value for current month - donation items @ mid. GEN).
To get a flatsale egg when a sale is occuring, you must show you have read the front page and can answer a question or two.
- A situational RP is also included
- There is a period of 3 days in which you can enter a sale form (that's right, only ONE per person please!).
- Submit your entry to the Wethkin-chan shop account by PM.
- *** Please proof-read before submitting (no smart quotes)!
After that 3 days, I will go through and read all the entries and pick the best to sell Wethkin to.
The next way to get a Wethkin is by auction. Auctions are typically for special and rare Wethkin only. Examples would be twins, or rare & uncommon weather types ie. rainbow. Auctions are also announced well ahead of time and in the Availiability section and Updates (first post). Rules will be posted in the auction thread at the time of the auction.
A third way is by Raffle. All raffle details shall be posted as raffle occures.
A fourth way is not avaliable at this time. The option of getting a Gen.2 egg (from breeding of Gen.1 parents). This option includes flat sales, auctions and perhaps even raffles.

Q: Can I be on the mailing list?
A: Of course :3 just post in the thread that you would like to be added to it and send a Friend request to the Wethkin-chan account.
Q: Do we have to RP?
A: No you do not, but your Wethkin will not form a crysalis and grow into an adult. If you are happy with your Wethkin nymphchild then that should be fine for you :3 It's not like you need to RP a lot; two good paragraphs a month would be fine.
Q: Ok, we know how the baby stages look but what about the children?
A: All the children look different! They each have their own lineart and personalities :3 their upper bodies are chibi and their lower body is made up of a ball of energy reflecting their weather type :3
Q: So what about the higher stages?
A: All of them will look different as adults too. They each have their own lineart and personalities and look reflecting your RPing of the character :3 The crysalis stage will have close similarities if the Wethkin are of the same weather type.
Q: Can you reserve one for me?
A: No - it's unfair to everyone else who is interested domokun
Q: Can we do a pet trade?
A: Sorry not very often. I can't afford to give away a 5 stage pet (so much work) if the equivalent isn't traded to me. It's not fair to others either, who took the time to save up. If there's a pet I am interested in, I will contact the store to see if they will trade.
Trades so far:
-Auratus
-Sugar Fairy (in progress)
-custom Pud (at future date)
Interested in:
-Herald
-Legend of the Tale
-Go Go Sushi (won Kurimu Puffu in contest!)
Pets Wanted that don't do trades:
-Treebaby
-WitcheryBrew

Coming soon~!
- RP quests
- apprentice > journeysprite > adept > mastero/mastera
- Final test quest (for adulthood)
Ok, owners that would like a Notebook ~ They are for your private RP (like Diary entries). It's also a place to put up all the pictures you have of your wethkin (like all the stages so far) and the story of how you got your egg. It's no longer an optional thing to do, but now they are free unless you want me to make banner for you :3
Also, I check them on a regular basis. If I like your latest RPing, you may receive a little art gift for your efforts :3
It costs 750 gold for 14 title banners of your choice (pick 2 colours and pick what the titles say and pick font)
If you want less banners then take off 50 gold for each one you remove.
If you want to do your own banners then a Notebook is totally free.

Good and bad, Wethkins are gender neutral as they are made up of energy. Breeding is a special process in which the sprites join their magics together to form new sprites. As such, 2 to 3 sprites may chose to mate at a time.
- RP is required to attempt any partnership
A partnership can produce (randomly):
1-3 young for a 2/pair or 1-4 young for a 3/trio, with a slim chance of identical twins (2 larvapuffs from same egg)
Gender-look has a 50/50 ratio on average.
Eggs can be sold by the parents through this shop by a flat price of 10k each with 15% of the total egg sale going to each parent (that's 7.5% each).
Eggs can be auctioned here as well, but the cap is 30k (unless the egg is special, cap is then 100k ie. mixed type egg or indentical twin egg).
20% of the total egg sale goes to the parents by auction (that's 10% each).
It costs 6,000 gold from each owner involved to breed your 2/pair and the same for a 3/trio.
Rules:
- both/all 3 owners must agree to breed their Wethkin
- Wethkin must be in final adult stage and have met each other at least once
- All Wethkin types and gender-looks are compatible (dominate type usually more common in young ie. leaf over fog, rather then mixed types ) unless they are within 1 degree of ralation to one another (eg. parent/child is no, twins is no)
- Wethkin can only breed once max. in a season (3 months in a season) and that's only if the breeding list has room for a second try (everyone needs a chance X3)
- If owners wish to keep an egg (1 each max. per breeding) a contract must be written about what happens if there is less then 2/3 eggs
- If only one owner wants to keep an egg, they will not get gold from the other owner's egg sale (unless they decide to share it)
- All owners must pay breeding fee before eggs are produced
- Eggs can be given away but only through a raffle in through this shop ie. no favouratism unless it's for a pet trade (then contact me first)
- All auctions/flat sales must be through this shop (otherwise no eggs will hatch)
- All owners & their Wethkin will be listed in order of turn below
- Only 2 breeding slots will be open at a time (so many babies to create gonk )
Current Slots 1. N/A 2. N/A ***No adults yet~!

: heart : to Deshi who did this comic and the "Things you should never say..." X3
What is a Spritkin you ask? It's a little puff of magic that likes to inhabit enchanted items. These candies have been carefully made to attract the puffs so you can give them to the ones you love (or keep em yourself XD). You may eat the candy after the puff hatches (otherwise it might not get enough magic out of the candy before it hatchs). These puffs will always be puffs, never growing any larger since they are tied to the magic of the holiday.
* heart Also, any Egg/LarvaPuff/All Stages items from the Mini-Shoppe can be used on the Spritkin & you may RP them with the regular Wethkin in the shop, as well get a Notebook if you wish heart *
