Foal's Intended Name: Anthymos
Why this name? It is derived from the Ancient Greek θυμος (thymos) "soul, spirit"combined with ανθος (anthos) "flower". Thymos is part of many saint names, giving some call back to an angelically named father, while also bringing in the mother's love of flowers.
Personality: Anthymos is full of joy and life. He enjoys running and playing and laughing. He doesn't mind looking foolish as long as it is in the pursuit of fun. The flower filled meadow is sometimes the worse for wear from his rough and tumble play, but even as a foal he would offer battle to any who would hurt his family or his home.
He has a hard time sitting still for art lessons. The wild world calls to him, but he tries for as long as he can bottle his energy. Then he's off, tumbling through the flowers. He seems always to find the most fragrant patches and rolls right through them before dashing to the next patch. Anthymos is always haloed by the smell of flowers.
Anthymos won't understand immediately why he isn't really drawn to art. He'll look at his father's paintings and know he should like them, but often they make little or no sense. He will attempt to make paints but sometimes crush flowers with little or no color but with a strong scent. His paintings will not look like much, but the canvas will smell heavenly. Eventually one of his parents will figure out that Anthymos is color blind.
This won't bother him much, as he's never known the difference. He can see in the blue/green spectrum, but reds, pinks and purples are just shades of grey. However, he wants to make his father proud and create art for him. So he paints with scents, crushing flowers that are more fragrant than colorful and applying them to canvases. His sense of smell is very strong and he can pick up subtle nuances in a flower that can differentiate it from the others around it.
Eventually this will lead Anthymos to being a perfumer. He will create splendid works of art that are only perceived by the nose. As he grows older, he will even begin cultivating favored patches of flowers to preserve their particular aroma. When he wanders, he does so to find new scents, new flowers and plants that he can bring back and add to his work.
Anything else you would like to include: This is a truly beautiful family and I very much appreciate the opportunity to try to join it. Thank you.

Foal's Intended Name: Goose
Why this name? Goose wasn't his given name, Jasmine gave him the name Gilligan, but the name didn't suit the wild and silly personality that came of their son. "Silly Goose" got cut down to Goose.
Personality: Goose is just that, fun and lively. He has a heart of gold and sets out to bring joy into everyone's life. He enjoys life any way he can.
Anything else you would like to include: He's a silly goose that loves his siblings much more than anything in the world.

Poem/Story Title: Silly Birds
On the furthest edge of the meadow, Goose flicked his tail a few times cheerfully. Jasmine's motherly eyes fixed on her wild son. She held her breath and watched, knowing her son far too well. He tilted his head a bit and made direct contact with his mother and his eyes brightened. Her eyes narrowed slightly, waiting in anticipation. Something was about to break, burn or get knocked over. Dir stood behind Jasmine, feeling the edge of the snapping point growing closer.
A high giggle pierced out, one of Goose's siblings providing just enough distraction for Goose to bolt forward. His eyes were bright and wild as his powerful young body drove forward into his parents. Laughs were heard as all the children charged in and surrounded Jasmine and Dir. Goose's head pressed into the chest of his father, inhaling the comforting scent of his father. Protection, love and honest guidance. This was home and Goose pressed his eyes tightly shut hoping that this place and his family would stay together forever.

Foal's Intended Name: Menthol
Why this name? Menthol is that minty taste one get's from Mint flavoring. It's what makes it... minty and smooth, with a bit of a kick if it's strong enough!. Beyond the obvious reasons that the basket is a lovely, creamy, mint green color (one of my favorite colors), I would suspect that Jasmine would also feel the need to decorate the basket in wild mint plants that may grow in the flower bed they're residing in. Since it echoes green, and the color seems on the lighter, fresher side. It would give off a fresh scent that would not only probably calm Jasmine's quirk of being "smelly," but Dir may find it appealing too. Maybe even inspiring to use in his painting works. The couple seems very excited to have a family, and I think that Dir would like to express that joy through his art as well.
Personality: I'd like to think that the foal will be more on the calming side, like his mother, but has a bit of a kick to him in some way or another. In what way is still a mystery to me, but I feel like he's a very uplifting spirit with lots to learn and will enjoy his life of color. In fact, he won't be able to imagine life without it! Dull colored fields or neutral, colorless features and beings strike worry with him. He just can't see life any other way. I'd like to think that he has some sort of artistic skill as well, and discovers this by complete accident somewhere down the road.
Anything else you would like to include: Nothing else that I can think of that is major? I own 1 other Soq who was won from a basket contest as well, and I am still very much new to the shop and it's concept. I'd like to try to become more active with the shop and the community is all, besides the fact that everyone has beautiful Soq. Thank you for looking this over!

Poem/Story Title: Minty Winds
Family of mine, I've something to tell you!
Something I dreamed of the other day...
It was far more than just a simple flower to smell,
Far more than the simple petals in which we lay.
It was the crisp and the crunch of the mint I know,
From mother's sweetest touch and father's grandest display,
But this had a fierceness like nothing before!
It breathed over us in cold and chilling ways.
Now I know this is all just imagination,
I understand this is all silly thoughts at heart.
But I can't help but feel like these minty winds exist,
Far away from our protective, colorful hearth.

Foal's Intended Name: Luna
Why this name? When his basket came, both Dir and Jasmine were struck by its color. The sweet minty color reminded Jasmine of Dir's wings and together they made both parents think of the beautiful Luna Moth. Both parents loved how the name was full of life and beauty, so he became Luna.
Personality: Luna takes after his father. He is sweet and initially a little shy with stranger, but only takes a little bit of coaxing to warm up and become instant friendly with any friendly stranger. His parents thought his name must have been prophetic, for Luna is fascinated by moths and butterflies. He wishes he could capture one and keep it with him all the time. Instead, he learns from his fat he how to paint and make art, and this way makes butterflies that he can admire any time. Expressing an interest in butterflies or in his art will gain you an instant friend in Luna, and is a surefire way to get through his shyness.
Anything else you would like to include: Thank you!

Foal's Intended Name: Zadkiel
Why this name? It means righteousness of God in Hebrew. I wanted to find either a flower associated name, or that of an angel.
Personality: Zad, as most will call him, is very virtuous. He does what he's told and follows his parent's rules. He has a sweet heart of gold, and is kind of shy, which is why he has a slight stutter when he's nervous.
As he grows up, he is always the "do-gooder" of his siblings, bringing any rule-breaking or wrongdoing to light. This doesn't always go over well with them, sometimes making them mad at little Zad.
As he grows older into his adult years, Zad seeks a role of enforcing rules and punishment to those who cause havoc. He's a self appointed "deputy" so to speak.
Anything else you would like to include: Thank you for the opportunity.

Ticket, please!Username: Kirowyn Love Foal's Intended Name: Cahethal (seraphim angel over agriculture) Why this name? I wanted something that would be meaningful and also tie in with the parents. I wanted an angel name to go with Dir, and something to do with flowers to go with Jasmine. Personality: Kind of low key, gentle and very in tune with nature. Never loses his temper and likes creating beautiful gardens. Anything else you would like to include: I haven't RPed in awhile - I'm also pretty slow about it. But I am always good for plotting and backstory. I will stick around for the family <3 ______________________________________ I'll Tell You Something!Username: Kirowyn Love Poem/Story Title: Discovering your Dreams 00000Thal had always admired the flowers his mother put on everything. They were beautiful, delicate and smelled wonderful. He had asked her where she got them from, and today was the day he was going to visit the wildflower meadow. He was more excited than he had ever been before. The best part was that it would just be himself and mom - his siblings and father had other plans. He loved all of them, but it would be nice to spend a day with just his mom's undivided attention. 00000Even before they reached the meadow, Thal's nostrils filled with the sweet scent of all the different blooms. His mom turned to him and said "It won't be long now, it's just up ahead." After a few more minutes of walking in the dappled sunlight through the forest, he saw light up ahead - the field! His mother told him to go on ahead to get his first glimpse. Color everywhere - reds, blues, yellows and delicate pinks. Butterflies and bees flitted from flower to flower drinking up the tasty nectar. He slowly stepped out in amazement and asked his mom, "Where do they all come from?" 00000After Jasmine explained how flowers grew, Thal's heart filled and he felt this dreamy feeling all over. "Is there a way to get seeds mom? Can I grow my very own flowers?" She told him that he could, but it wasn't time yet. The flowers had only just bloomed. At first he felt a little disappointed, but his mom assured him they would come back when the time was right. He didn't know it now, but in the following months, when his first flower sprouted from the ground, he would realize what his true passion was - to create beautiful gardens and new species of flowers. ________________________________ Paint All the Things!Username: Kirowyn Love Title: ??? Submission: will come up with something new hopefully soon. ______________________________ Lovely FlowersUsername: Kirowyn Love Photo Proof: Proof Small description/summary: I have no idea how to weave flowers... but I used to make willow branch crowns when I was little, so I kind of went with that.

Poem/Story Title: Luna's Dream
Sky above, the sun a perfect glare
Watching a butterfly float gently by
Admiring his soft wings when he lands in my hair
And wishing to join him when he takes to the sky
I may only be a Soquili, a little Luna moth,
but beauty I admire from my place upon the ground
Take these berries, paint that beauty on a cloth
Imagine I'm a butterfly, flying round and round

Foal's Intended Name: Emile
Why this name? This name means to strive, excel, or rival, but the meaning (though relatable) is not why I chose it. I love looking at different names, listening to them, and finding new unique or graceful or nostalgic ones and so I find names very important. However, I chose this name mainly for how it sounds and flows. With French origins it garners itself a certain air of elegance that pairs well with the way this word smoothly glides out of one's mouth.
Personality: Emile is calm and gentle. His family believes him to be mute for quite some time because he does speak to them or any other soquili for that matter. However, he does speak to himself in a voice no louder than a whisper, when he is away from all other beings. But then he begins to hum and his family sees this as great progress. He has a specific hum for when he is happy and one for sadness. At the gentle prodding of his family members he opens his mouth to speak, but instead he sings. Or more accurately he speaks with a light melodic voice, a graceful trill. All of his words now are strung together with notes and rhythm. However, he still prefers his silence and often still communicates through his vibrating hums.
Anything else you would like to include: His main artistic attribute is his gentle, airy voice, but he also possesses a talent with instruments such as whistles, bells, and chimes.
Also thank you for the opportunity! <3

Foal's Intended Name: Icarus
Why this name? Icarus was of Greek legend. In the story Icarus want to escape to fly but in the end he suffers a terrible fate. I felt the name fitting because that fate would be avoided if he was winged or not winged. He would prove down the legends behind his name that it only would bring bad luck.
Personality: Icarus is a very nature loving soquili. He feels in tuned with nature and will always believe in true love. He will share a bond with his parents that can never be broken. He is a shy but free spirit always open for new ideas and advice giving. He speaks slowly but surely carefully thinking of his next words but he loves to sing. When he does he goes into his own little world where he has nothing to fear and power to be himself.
Anything else you would like to include: I love this family and would love to be apart of it.

Foal's Intended Name: Delonix Iofiel (nicknames come in many diminutive forms).
Why this name? Delonix is a genus of flowering plants that grow in Africa and Madagascar. Derived from the Greek "delos" meaning "evident" and "onyx" meaning "claw," in reference to the petals.
Iofiel, though female, is the angel of beauty, which fits with his personality.
Personality: Del is very solemn and serious, but takes comfort in things of beauty. He likes to stare at pretty things for hours, especially if it's a plant - if that's a case, he'll do all he can to nurture it and help it maintain its beauty. He does not do this because he wants to possess it; Del wants others to benefit from what he finds to be the 'soothing nature' of beauty. As such, as he grows, he will begin to cultivate his own flower garden, for his mother and others to use. Though Del might seem severe on the outside, he's really just got a big heart that doesn't quite know how to express its feelings toward others... So instead, he just tries to comfort them.
Anything else you would like to include: Not that I can think of... Just a thank you for holding this contest and providing such an awesome opportunity to be a part of this family. <3

Poem/Story Title:
A Dream of flight
There was a light a bright shining light. He felt warm to the core but as soon as it happened the light was gone. He was in darkness he felt the ground trying to sollow him whole. NO he would not let that happen in a sudden burst of light be was flying on the wings of an eagle. It was like nothing he had ever seen before the ground was still rising but he was faster. Up and up he went his wings showing him the way with there bright glow. Then he burst out of the darkness into the real world. His wings were loosing feathers though and he was plummeting faster and faster to the unforgiving ground. "This cant be the end! Why would i grow wings to only loose them? What am i not seeing?" he dug deeper inside of himself remembering the song he had been taught as a foal. He felt the words coming on and he knew he must sing only singing would set him free.
"When darkness threatens to take your life
You must never let dark know your fear
In each one of us there is power
A power that can never be beat
You are unstoppable even when it seems not
Spread your wings and soar
Fly over the darkness and through the night
To the light that is sure to appear
True love can set you free
You are a being of true love"
He knew the song would set him free even through the fact that he lacked wings. He truly was one born from true love and because of that he could take on anything. The darkness or the worst of the worst he had no fear. In the face of danger he would not be shy he would win with the words of a song. He hit the earth though the battle won but the war was far from over. Good would win no matter how hard darkness wanted him. He had the same vision over and over but he knew what it meant a vision was much more than a dream. Even if dreams really are only dreams.
