[ Quick Info ]
Plural form of name: Kirishitsunos (nicknamed Kiris)
Type: Hespierdon
Located: Nightshade Valley

[ Appearance & General Info ]
Kirishitsuno are similar to unicorns with their defining characteristic--a single spiralling horn. Their name, Kirishitsuno, comes from a mix of Japanese words: Kiri - mist, shishi - lion, tsuno - horn. Their head is almost a mix between a horse and a lizard as it is more narrower than a common horse head. Instead of hooves, the Kirishitsuno has paws like a lion. It's mane and tail are actually more of a mix between actual hair and a "mist." It always appears to have a mist like "spine." The mist is its defense; in tims of trouble it dashes off and creates a mist to hide its presence. Kirishitsunos are silent creatures and communicate only telepathically. They are also herbivores.

Plural form of name: Itokus
Type: Hespierdan
Located: Snowdrop Mountains

[ Appearance & General Info ]
Adorable, cute, fluffy. Really, that's all you can say! Itokus can grow up to about a foot in height. They look like a mix of many commonplace animals. They have long thick cat-like ears with tufts of fur at the ends. Their face is round like a chipmunk and their neck is encircled by a large amount of fluff to keep them warm in the winter. Their tail is relatively short with yet another large ball of fluff at the ends. Their limbs are all pretty short. Itokus are typically seen cuddled up and appear like a ball of fluff. They chatter like chipmunks and bunnies and are herbivores.

[ Their Story ]
For years, perhaps even centuries, the Itoku lived like many other small animals that frolicked about. They enjoyed playing in warmer months while at the same time also gathering food for colder times; however, they do not hibernate like many small animals do. They preferred to work in groups, staying very close to their kin or in times of danger staying near their allies and friends, the Minyan race. The Itoku enjoyed their life, their home was usually clean of any danger, they had a strong ally, but most of all they had a bond of togetherness with one another. However one fateful day severed their bond of being always together. One cold day in winter an Itoku was separated from its family during a blizzard. For days this Itoku tried to survive, and finally on the brink of dying the Itoku was found by a nymph of the Garden.

The Hesperide brought the Itoku to her home, and took care of it for many days. Soon more and more Itoku began to start appearing to the Hesperides, looking for the lost Itoku. Upon reuniting with the lost Itoku the Hesperides took them in, giving them jobs to do and soon making them the main mascots of events and holidays except for Halloween. Though most Itoku still live within the Snowdrop Mountains, many still help the Hesperides with friendly acts like becoming companions to others when found in a present box, with beautiful gestures like holding a loving message around with them on a heart shaped pillow, or with protection like those with wings who may act as Guardian Angels to some. In future years to come the Itoku will always live on, as adorable yet amiable creatures who roam the Garden of Hesperides.

Plural form of name: Choumeiden
Type: Hesperide
Located: Lavendar Waters

[ Appearance & General Info ]
The name Choumeida originates from "chou"- cake and "meida"- maiden. The choumeida are an uncommon species of mermaid. Think a mermaid and then instead of a fish tail their tail is like a papery cupcake wrapper. All choumaiden are females. When they breed, 2 to 4 choumaiden come together and recite a spell. They donate a few drops of blood which mix their genes together. After a bit of chanting, cupcakes appear!--they're sort of like the eggs of unhatched Choumaiden.

[ Their Story ]
The Choumeida came about a long time ago on one of Aphrodite's birthdays. Eros (her son) had decided he wanted to make his mother a special surprise and set out to incorporate a few things that she liked. Working hard and with the help of several other gods he managed to make a beautiful creature born from a cupcake, that grew into a shape of a mermaid. He made the Choumeida very beautiful and because of his love for all thing female, he made them an only female race so that they could be pleasing to the eye and help his mother. Aphrodite was pleasantly surprised at the delicate look of the Choumeida and soon after took them to the Lavender Waters to live.
