Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: First Thoughts
Character Concept: Mommy's little angel simply adores the blood and gore her mother wants to keep from her, but hides her resentment behind beatific smiles and shuttered eyes and pretty words; but one day, she'll show Mommy Dearest who the better daughter is: First Thoughts can be pretty AND vicious
Sibling Revelry: She's a bit resentful of her mother's treatment of Second Nature, but she still loves her dark-coated counterpart, almost to the point of toxicity.

Name: Thrice Forsaken
Character Concept: Thrice is a girl on a mission - she wants to rule the swamp and she'll strive to achieve her goal by being as sugary sweet and two faced as possible.
Sibling Revelry: Thrice sometimes views her sister's more squeamish nature annoying and her mother's insistence she be the perfect lady nauseating.

Name: Third Spoken
Character Concept: Recount repeats everything she hears or does in the third person, narrating her life vocally, for otherwise she can not remember anything at all.
Sibling Revelry: Recount will do whatever her mother tells her, never really questioning her motives or decisions because her mother is the only thing that will stick in her faulty memory.

I'll spare the grisly details but suffice to say my original timeframe didn't quite work out and I'm horrendously sorry for the wait! Even having left you guys hanging for a week, I wish I had more time to mull over the entries though, wowzers! I was hoping for a little deviance, but the cornucopia of deliciously twisty tales exceeded my wildest expectations - it was super hard to even narrow down my favourites, even after the vicious culling my esteemed advisor (Maxx) helped me perform. All the unexpected little quirks and turns - and all the names! I loved all the clever little number-associated puns and phrases - and extra appreciated the ones that (whether by coincidence or actually noticing she's technically the first sac, ahah) deployed non-threes, whether firsts or lasts - or afters (ooh, that was clever)! The ones that themed with the Strike and Nature portions delighted me, I hadn't expected that!

In the end, I narrowed these down to five entries that represent different directions taken with the character - it'll keep me on my toes anticipating what I'll be RPing with! I don't trust my connection to hold on for beans or rolling, so I am doing this the old-fashioned way with the help of my esteemed advisor, who is scrawling names on slips and stuffing them into an actual honest-to-goodness hat.

Okay. Here goes nothing.

Good gosh. Maxx's handwriting is unreadable. Ure? Ille?! OH.




Hurrah! I loved this one, the character concept is so delightfully incongruous yet eminently practical what with all the kills Strike and Nature'll rack up - and oh so delectably sinister! And I adore that name too - so you must keep it. >D Aaaahh congrats, BA! I hope you'll be happy with your new darling, I can't wait to play Happy Families with you! I'll cert up the sisters straight away!

I'm too ashamed to show my face in-thread, but we're on the verge of pulling the plug on this glitchy old thing and I'm not sure when we'll be getting our connection back in our new apartment. The 3G doesn't seem to work very well over there, so in case anyone wants to ping me, PM me and I'll get to it...eventually! Can't wait to be back - see you all and take care! Thank you so much, everybody, for joining my contest and so so sorry again for the wait. I know I wasn't the easiest taskmaster, hathat, and it means so much to me that you guys did it anyway! XD
