Name: Riddle-Reed Personality/attitude: Playful, Mysterious, Charming Character concept: He loves the reeds that grow highest and thickest near the edges of the swamp waters where the sun streams dappled and unsure through the thick Swamp canopy. He wanders here the most, singing, talking-- piecing together tangles of words to make those puzzles of his name-sake-- riddles. He is a loner, for the most part, but often seeks the company of others to tell his riddles, to make others laugh, to tease and play, though will quickly find some new pond or edge of the marsh to wander among the tall cattails and the lush grasses. Name: Good Intention Personality/attitude: Sneaky, Deceitful, Selfish, Trickster Character concept: She is good at getting what she wants. Her lure is that of a confident doe who seems sweet, and kind. Often, she tricks bucks into believing that she is what she portrays to be, but often is not. Her intentions seem well off--- caring and devoted, a good listener, but usually these are just a means to an end. Even her name is deceitful. Name: Knotwood Personality/attitude: Philosophical, Down-to-Earth, Good listener, Talkative Character concept: He seems to have no real aim, and no real purpose-- except, perhaps, none that most kimeti would understand. Most kimeti are interested in relatively simple things--- cool ponds, the ripest berries and the best fishing holes, warm bedding and a safe nest to call their own. While these things are important to him, his ideals are turned more to the patterns of the fireflies, the call of a distant bird, the why's and the how's of the migrating crane-- the simple twist of a tree. His studies give him an abundance of information, and he may often times prattle on and on about one thing or another-- though likes just as well to listen to those around him, even if, sometimes, he does seem a bit strange.

Name: Dew Blossom Personality/attitude: Jealous, Seething, False, Character concept: Dew Blossom hates herself with a bitter passion. Born a basic color, she is intensely jealous of any others who are brightly colored or elaborately patterned, especially other doe. She doesn't hide her hate for other bright doe very well sometimes, but becomes friendly quickly if a bright buck is around. Her deepest wish is to get the most colorful and patterned buck in the swamp to be her mate. Name: Moth Dust Personality/attitude: Daring, Happy, On The Go Character concept: When Moth Dust was younger, she accidentally stepped on a baby bird that fell out it's mother's nest. On that day, she learned about death, and how that everything, even she, would die one day. Since then, she crams as much life and experience as she can get into every waking moment, living as happily and fully as she can. This very often leads her to make foolish or dangerous choices, but she feels if death is going to find her one way or the other, she will dive into it's arms in the most spectacular way possible. Name: Muck-and-Mire Personality/attitude: Mentally Unstable, Paranoid, Delusional Character concept: No matter where Muck-and-Mire is, the glowing, red fireflies follow him. These bugs, which only he can see, flash messages to him, which only he can read. Usually they tell Muck-and-Mire about how the other Kimeti all want to kill him because he's special, but they never tell him WHY he's special. He lives on the fringes of the other Kimeti groups, yearning to join them with all of his being but being too afraid. Most of all, he wishes red fireflies would just go away.

Name: Walking Light Personality/attitude: Nervous, frightened, untrusting Character concept: A light walking in the darkness, that's one thing that Walking Light can remember from her dream. However, in waking she has now taken her life to see that everything else is 'darkness' to her light, making her jumpy and terrified, easily prompted to run away at the smallest of noises to flee to the few safe areas she has discovered. First impressions are everything. Name: Bark-and-Bite Personality/attitude: Snarky, powerful, self-entitled Character concept: Everything is hers, whether they believe it is or not. Males? Hers. Females? Also hers. The babies?... EhhHHhhhhhhhh... okay, those she doesn't want so much. In fact, she probably wouldn't even offer them up to any buck that accepted the fact he was 'hers'. Out of all of the things she's brave and towers over, Bark-and-Bite is terrified of fawns. Keep them away plzkthnx. Name: Swamp-Stomp Personality/attitude: Stable, Well-adjusted, level-headed Character concept: Swamp-Stomp is a shoulder to lean on, desiring very little out of life he hasn't already gotten (or has been made available to him in some manner) and may even be considered 'mild' for his even temperment. Perhaps he needs a little excitement to be thrown into his life.

Name: Halfbeak Personality/attitude: Eccentric strange flaky oddball Character concept: To call Halfbeak eccentric is to put it lightly. This flamboyant character has always chosen his own odd, zig zagging path in life. Never having known any family from growing up alone, he tends to get clingy and prefers to assume everyone likes him by default. He is overly friendly, almost to the point of annoying at times. He craves interaction, friends, and love, and would even flirt with a turtle just because it has a slow getaway. Name: Grave Moss Personality/attitude: Silent aloof observer Character concept: Grave Moss has always been the strong silent type. He's found the best way to survive is to always be watchful, and hear things before they hear you. Most at home in the shadows, he embraces the night and likes to be alone. He is strangely fascinated by death and the horrors of his naming dream still haunt and entice him to this day. Being around others puts him on edge, and he is very guarded because of a natural distrust of his own kind. Moss has a somewhat sinister vibe... his presence alone seems to compel other creatures to keep a distance.

Name: Feather in the Sand, Personality/attitude: Hoarder, secretive, obsessive Character concept: He collects and hoards oddball things he finds in the swamp. Bones, skulls, shells, odd pieces of driftwood, twisted vines will catch his attention. He feels they have a hidden story and a mystery to be solved. He's amiable enough when around other Kimeti, though he can be a little distracted because he's always on the lookout for odd things. If he happens to see something worth collecting, he'll totally forget about anyone he was just talking to.

Name: Ghost Orchid Personality/attitude: Gentle, Quiet, Caring Character concept: Orchid is a nature lover to the extreme. Although the swamp is a hardy environment, she takes great pains not to trample or damage plant life in her travels. She talks to the flora often, even to the point of apologizing at times to trees if a branch is snapped or hurt. Obviously, this makes her seem very odd to others, but since she would much rather keep the company of cypresses and ferns than other Kimeti, it doesn't much matter. Name: Dawn of Time Personality/attitude: Content, Serene, Resolute Character concept: Dawn loves and is grateful for the swamp and everything it provides. Having gotten a glimpse of an inhospitable and harsh place the world once was in his dream, he is especially strong in the feelings that Kimeti should not leave the swamp, because it was created for them as a lush haven from the dangerous outside world. Though normally very friendly, he is very fervent in that belief and might frown upon those who disagree. Name: Brave Little Otter Personality/attitude: Brave, Loyal, Protective, Outgoing, Playful Character concept: Aloof and energetic, Otter would like nothing more than to play around with friends all day and shirk responsibilities. However, she is extremely close to all of her friends and family, and would come to their aid at the drop of a hat if need be, even if it means putting herself in physical danger to protect them. Some might call her foolhardy, but she is extremely likable and never lacks companionship.

Name: Moon Shine (Nick name Tipsy) Personality/attitude: Brave, Loyal, Protective, Cheerful Character concept: Tipsy is one to stand tall before attacks. He likes to collect feathers that the birds drop, leaving them with the pretty does on his walks. He likes to protect the young Kimeti that he comes across in his explorations of the swamp. Despite his nickname, he has been steady on his feet since he was a colt. He will talk to anybody, no matter what mood they are in. Name: Clear Water Personality/attitude: Flowing, caring, reserved towards most Character concept: He tries to understand his naming dream every time he looks at his color. Clear will talk to others, but he doesn’t open up to just anyone. He is looking for that one that can have him open up. He keeps his distance when he finds a pretty doe, afraid he will mess things up. Name: Shadow Dust Personality/attitude: Day dreamer, romantic, outgoing, flirty. Character concept: He dreams of romance, with as many Kimeti as he can. He lounges in the sun, normally near water so he can flick it on his back and at those that walks by. He flirts with all, when he isn’t dreaming, especially the colorful ones.

Name: Luminescent Rain Personality/attitude: bright, cheerful, energetic Character concept: Rain is sweet, gentle and refreshing to be around. She's very friendly with everyone and is compassionate to those who need help. She's very hard to anger, but if it is accomplished, she can be fairly tempestuous, though she would rather walk away from a confrontation than stay and fight. Name: Burning Ice Personality/attitude: Frigid Character concept: Very withdrawn, she's cold to others, not having many friends. Her silence is less snobbish and rude than it is pure shyness and uncertainty about herself and her place among others of her kind. perhaps, if she can meet a special kimeti, she can become more like the first part of her name, rather than the last. Name: Tiger's Eye Personality/attitude: Protective, fiercely loyal, strong, brave Character concept: Proud and fierce, Tiger views himself protector of all around him. He'd be first to charge at any incoming danger in order to give the does and foals a chance to escape. He isn't suicidal, however; he can think on his feet and easily come up with a plan to get as many kimeti safe as possible, including himself.

Name: Longing Sky Personality/attitude: distracted, wandering, melancholy Character concept: Longing is melancholy. His naming dream was of a thousand cranes flying across the bluest sky he'd ever seen. He looks for that sky and those cranes, but it's never blue enough and the cranes aren't there. He tries to look at different sky every day, wandering in random directions and often backtracking without realizing in search of the truest blue that the MotherFather ever made. Name: Pulp Personality/attitude: lethargic, sweet, lazy Character concept: Pulp would give you the food in his mouth-- if he could be convinced to find it, anyway. He's mostly a grazer, preferring not to have to deal with the stress and energy involved in hunting. If he has something another kimeti needs, he's more than willing to share-- it's just unlikely that he has anything. Pulp is one of those kimeti who satisfies his base needs and doesn't look for more out of the Swamp. Name: Stone Flower Personality/attitude: austere, elegant, distantly kind Character concept: Like her name, she is beautiful but one step removed from the world. At first glance she seems like a lovely, distracted doe, but the second and third will reveal that she's not quite that. Distant, abstractedly kind to those who are less fortunate than her, Stone does not worry about the implications of any larger issues. She is firmly engaged in a contemplation of herself as the unreachable, distant doe who dispenses kindness and moves on, never to be seen again. Stone feels that the emotions of other kimeti are beneath her.

Name: Fire Singer Personality/attitude: Bright and eager for attention. Character concept: Convinced his colors make him easy to overlook, Fire Singer loves to attract attention other ways. He loves to pull a prank to make others laugh, or say something comical at an opportune moment. He'll sing a lovely song to garner acclaim... Attention and acclaim are his favorite things, and he will go to some effort to get it. Name: Dances Under Stars Personality/attitude: Mysterious and Secretive. Character concept: Stars never comes out during the day, for it has no appeal for her. The night is her playground, and it holds no fear for her. She rarely encounters others, for she has yet to meet any with such a love for the night as her. As they tend to have little in common with her, she says little to those she does meet. Name: Pepper Flower Personality/attitude: Burning intellect, Social Ineptitude. Character concept: Pepper is brilliant, clever, intelligent... And has no skill at dealing with those not on her mental level. She offends people at the drop of a leaf with her firey wit, burning bridges in moments, while in her mind, all she's doing is explaining how they missed such an obvious answer. No skills with others, she nonetheless yearns for some one to see the beauty inside.

Name: Luckily Personality/attitude: overly optimistic Character concept: Contrary to her name, Luckily is not lucky at all. On the same coin, she's not unlucky either. She just...is. Life happens to her as it happens to the rest of the swamp, and she enjoys it. Every day brings her new surprises, and she is one to look at something bad in a good light. Name: Could Happen Personality/attitude: always afraid Character concept: Could Happen is a coward. She has never left the place where she was born, even as she watched her siblings wander into the distance, never to be seen again. She was lucky, there is a stream nearby, and plenty of fruit trees. It is a safe place, and she loves it. What reason would she have to leave it? Could Happen cannot think of any, so she doesn't. Name: As Such Personality/attitude: doesn't disguise Character concept: As Such comes as is. He was never quite capable of learning when to tell the little white lies expected of daily conversation. He was told lying is wrong, and as such, he is brutally honest. As such, he doesn't understand why kimeti never spend much time with him, and why he is always alone. He'll ask them this, making for some awkward conversations!

Took me a bit, but worth a try! Name: Dandelion Wisp Personality/attitude: Flirty, Airy, Sweet, Playful Character concept: Dandelion Wisp is at first quite illusive and seemingly mysterious when one approaches her, but it's just her way of getting a read on you before you can quite figure her out. She likes to size one up before she decides if she likes them or not -- if she doesn't, she'll just continue to toy with them and try to see if and how she can mess with them. If Dandelion Wisp does decide that she likes you, however, she becomes quite sweet and loving, and you can be sure that she'll make every effort to be a trustworthy companion and a loved friend. Name: Dew Drop Sun Personality/attitude: Go-With-The-Flow, Optimistic, Playful, Stubborn Character concept: Dew Drop Sun loves to run, more so than most other Kimeti. When she can find it, she loves letting her tummy soak in a good patch of sun. She generally likes to look on the bright side and will assure you that, though things may seem harsh and cold now, it won't be long before it clears up and you will be happy again. Though she is stubborn in her optimism and will not budge to admit if a dry spell seems to be about, she is just as upset with other Kimeti who refuse to see that things will, indeed, become better eventually. Rather than continue to argue about differences in perception, though, she'll usually let it go and run off to find distraction from the frustrating situation. Name: Misted Tunnel Personality/attitude: Determined, Practical, Contemplative, Soft-spoken Character concept: Misted Tunnel is not the kind to draw attention to himself, but that's not to say that he doesn't enjoy company or attention when he can find it. He rather enjoys conversation, and debate if it should arise, though he can can rather annoyed when someone brags or over-states looking for attention, or starts an argument just for the sake of it. He takes his time to consider all points of view, and would rather meander and soak everything in than rush around. Still, he welcomes friends of all shapes and sizes, and loves to see how others view the world he also lives in.
