I'm copying Rhiannon since this is my first journal and I've no idea what to do. XD
Name: Sukkubus Everwind Gender: Female Age: 19 Race: 1/2 Lina'kova demon, 1/2 human Birthplace: Some town in the boonies. Eye Color / style: Upturned and almond shaped, they give her a rather innocent appearance at first glance, but due to discoveries made on her own they seem a bit more saddened if one looks closely. Her eyes tend to have an unstable color, though their typical hue is that of honey. When drained of energy, however, they turn a faint salmon, and when angry, they become wine red. Hair Color / style: At one point in her life, when Sukkubus was still holding onto the dregs of adolesance, her hair was very short, very tom-boyish, and VERY blonde. However, after being brutally matured due to - as stated above - several discoveries, she's reverted back to the black she was born with. Her bangs fall into her eyes, more so on the left side than the right, basically obscuring the former. Two thick tendrils fall upon either side of her cheeks, and her hair about an inch or two lower than the nape of her neck. Towards the tips, however, her hair thins. Height: Around 5'6" Weight: 121 lbs Marital Status: Single Family: Keijah Everwind (father - deceased), Rhiannon Everwind (mother - whereabouts unknown) Hobbies: Reading ( a lot), practicing magic and summoning, playing the piano, acting as an apothecary Weapon of Choice: Magic Element: None unless using magic requiring elements... Power(s): - Surprisingly, Sukku has several. Her first power - if one could call it that - is the ability to morph (or mutate as she likes to refer to it) into her demonic half. There was a point in her life where she could do nothing but stay in that form due to her lack of control and sanity. But now she is able to - or so she says - control that half. In this form, where once she was weak physically, she becomes immensely strong; both in power and magic. Even so, she keeps it locked up for fear of losing control as she did once before. - Another power of the girl's is one she likes to call astral separation. A mimicry of her soul is able to dislocate from her body and both travel and see on different plains. She, of course, doesn't know much about the traveling half. She discovered this as a child, and since then, has rarely ever used it save for in times of dire need; it drains a lot out of her and she is a bit hesitant in its use in case she loses herself amongst the folds of existance. - More of a gift from her father's genes is her uncanny ability with magic and magical substances and/or creatures. Sukkubus is able to learn and retain spells and ingredients in her memory, which makes her a very good student when it comes down to it. Along with that, she has a honed accuracy which allows her to get a spell downpat without so much trouble as others, and she catches on right quick. Distinguishing Features: Very distinguishing. On either side of Sukkubus's head are two, round fox ears, which are quite large in size. The base fur is a ruddy orange, while the tips are a brackish color. Tufts of cream colored fur emerge from these strangely cute appendages. In cahoots with these comically large ears is a matching fox tail, though it has a rare appearance. Hers is the usual double toned color, same as her ears, however...the orange half is largely dwarfed by the cream part. The orange is more of a small explosion at the bottom, and as the tail progesses, it splits towards the end. (Note: the tail will in fact split in due time...she'll be growing more than one) Normal Attire: T-shirts and jeans have been left in her past. Sukku now dresses more elegantly, donning floor length skirts, her favorte of which is thick, black, and lacey. She's fond of upturned collars (blame her run-ins with vampires) and sleeveless tops, style leaning towards things of the orient. She's prone to wearing black or white gloves, and soft soled, slipper-shoes. One thing that never leaves her wrist is a silver bracelet, simple...but one of her most prized possessions next to her father's spell book, La Magia. Likes: Music, magic, puzzles, healing Dislikes: Loudness of ANY kind, disrespect, being shunned Favorite Color(s): Royal blue, black, white, and red Favorite Food(s): Mm, pie. No really, she likes pie. She also likes beef stew as well as fruit...don't ask. Personality: Her mood has fluctuated a lot. When she was a child she was cold and detatched. When she grew older, she opened up and become lively like a child. But it seems as though she has become quiet and cold again, almost dreamy in her expression. This was due to finding out exactly how her father had died - which was quite a stunning discovery. She decidely closed up and built a high wall around her heart, and it didn't help her that she had lost her voice as well. Nowadays she's stoic, offering faint smiles on occasion, but those of which never reach her eyes. History: (Agh, do I have'ta?)

Name: Viral Hassan Gender: Male Age: Unknown Species: Cursed. (Vampire of India, a Bantu Parl; feeds off of defenseless humans) Appointed: Supposed pet of Sukkubus, though really a guardian of sorts... Appearance: A tiny, furry creature who appears to be a mix between a bat and a bird. His body is covered in soft, deep red fur, though his wings and headwings are black and feathered. He has a long snout that curves upwards towards the end. His eyes are a pale green in color. Also, his two legs are stocky and furred, save for the three toes at the bottom, covered by a thick, black talon. Personality: All knowing, with a holier than though air (even AS a speechless creature). Though with Sukku, he is uncannily saccharine and docile; he even sleeps beside her. Notes: Fed Sukku's blood at monthly interevals, so that he doesn't become savage..she had to master the monster somehow.
I drew the picture above...if ever I draw a new one, it'll be replaced. That one's a bit crude...And yes, the thing on her knuckles is Hassan.

Name: Etsu Name's Meaning: Delight Age: Unknown. 9 or 10, maybe? Gender: Female Height: Roughly around 4'0"-1" Weight: -- Likes: - - Food(s): White rice, rice omelette, muffins - Color(s): Yellow, pink, and orange - Flower(s): Casablanca Lilies, freesia - Hobbies: Being out and about outside, writing, singing, and dancing Dislikes: - - Food(s): Natto, anything burnt - Temperment/action(s): Rudeness, overly zealous people, confrontation Distinguishing traits: If her brightly hued kimono and white masqued face isn't enough for you... Quirks: Etsu likes to keep her hands busy, and is apt to being doing something with them whether it be speaking to another or otherwise. Personality: Although quiet and sometimes withdrawn, Etsu is a girl who is brimming with curiosity. She's a very independent child, capable of not only taking care of herself but those around her as well. Her voice may be quiet, and her words and actions gentle more often than not, but when angered, she is able to bring forth a fiery temper from only God knows where. For every fault she has, she manages to pull out a talent or gift to temper it into a less noticeable place.

Name: Momoko; he's usually just called 'Momo' Age: 16 Gender: Male Race: Humanoid Reindeer (I suppose...) Likes: Art, painting, reading, comforting, cuddling (daww..), snow Dislikes: Violence, loud noises, being ostrasized Distinguishing Traits: Antlers poke from his head, and a small tufted tail pokes from his rear. Personality: Momo, as he was named (By Etsu...later on), is mute due to an incident that occured in his 'herd'. He's sweet tempered but shy, usually blending in with the background more than he is to make himself stand out. He's very loving and can be a bit dependent on the others, sometimes. He feeds off of praise like it's food, as well. Notes on Character: Yarr, Momoko is a girl's name, but it just stuck when I first thought about it after naming him Momo. whee
- Also, his story will be put up after RP with Rhia is finished, followed by Etsu's awakening RP. heart

 Another gift from Rhia! heart I love her so much! ;~;
Forte's a cute little bugger, who is probably the sweetest out of the bunch. He has a kind disposition and would never hold a grudge against anyone. He can be hyper at times, but only when he's fully rested up! His speech is a little off, often pronouncing l's as r's. "Hallo, how are you?" for him would be "Harro, how ar' yoo?"
 A litte companion for Forte! Hot Dog is sweet, but a mama's boy. Every chance he gets, he'll cling to either Forte or Sukku. He tends to whine easily, though. e_e heart
 Another little bugger! This one's light, though...heehee. To contrast with my shadow behbeez. ^_^ Phooka was named by Momo and Mieke, and she's absolutely adores the doe (Mieke). She's a hyperactive, but loveable little bugger, with a heart of gold. She loves EVERYONE and has enough affection for the entire world.
 Forte's only daughter! Laid back and quiet, but with a spunky streak. She's affectionate to only her family and tends to snub those she doesn't know. That doesn't mean she doesn't want to get to know you, though! ^^
 Isn't it cute?! I got it from Ice and Io! *rubs its head and listens to the small, purr-like noise emitted.* heart Etsu will love it! I think I'll name her Hinata! ^__^ heart
 She's from Merci`...and she has a name! She told me it was Metta. Strange, ne? *Is glared at.*
 A christmas gift from Io and Ice! ^_^! I shall name her Freya! ...the Noble! xd
 A giftie from Neko Girl! heart Much love! And this shall be Crickett! I am such a weirdo...
 ^__^ Beautiful koi from Rhia! They match Etsu!
 A special little gift from Lady Mystique! Tybalt. >_> So cute.
 A really pretty pink fish from Uta and Satehl! ^o^
 A pretty little gift from Rhia! <333 you.
 I've no idea what to consider her yet, so I'll keep her here. This was a present from Trivii, and was coloured by Merci. Beautimous. :3 She still needs a name. Isn't she elegant looking, though?! *purrs all proud-like.*
Metta: Ayah! I am NOT your pet! Su: Hush.

 Gifts from Rhia, but I wanted to use them as animals...heehee. I hope she doesn't mind. ^^; Also, these have all been stuck together, well...most of them. So if you try to steal one, you're stealing them all.
Oh dear. Infestation?

Many people mistake geisha for something they are not. People believe that as those in the east have geisha, us in the west have, well, prostitutes. Geisha women maintain many different relationships with men. They are not prostitutes. It is appropriate for geisha to have a patron (danna), whom she is involved with emotionally, economically, and sexually, however it is up to the geisha whether she wants one or not.
Geisha are professional female entertainers who perform traditional Japanese arts on banquets.
Girls who wish to become a geisha, have to go through a rigid apprenticeship during which they learn various traditional arts such as playing instruments, singing, dancing, but also conversation and other social skills. In Kyoto, geisha apprentices are called "maiko".
Ahem, also, geishas are not 'one-night-standers'. People only relate geishas to prostitutes because they are paid to entertain. However, the way they do so is completely different than one might think.
 Gorgeous, no?
