Your Name: ~Lady Kanna~
Entry: 1 of 3

Male:
Basket Name: Shandor
Meaning: Proud
Temper: Prideful
Personality: A boy who looks to his roots and takes pride in them, despite where he might have come from. He isn't scared of who he is, and certainly will not let the whispers of his father's herd shake him. He does, however, have visions of the world that others cannot see, something far darker that tries to drive him to insanity. Shadows twist the forms of those who he would call friend, and right when he's ready to take his stand against them, he returns back to the world that all see. His frequent dreams, or nightmares some would say, always take place in this darkened world he can't escape from.

Female:
Basket Name: Mala
Meaning: Necklace
Temper: Devout
Personality: Mala takes after her mother and grandmother more than her father, having inherited a sight into what she believes to be the 'spirit world', one where those whom have died can guide her on. However, these visions are far from benevolent, and often attempt to guide the mare to do terrible things....Including partaking in blood. When she isn't suffering from these sights, however, she is very much so a pleasant girl to be around. She offers advice to those who ask, and says she consults these spirits for them, though sometimes she makes things up instead. She's a free spirit, and feels that she needs to not be tied down and see the world, much like her father. After all, the spirits demand it.

Your Name: Sesshiyasha (^.^ HI!!)
Entry: 1 of 1 (I don't know o.o;; can I just put a question mark? .... Is that a number?)

Male:
Basket Name: Durriken
Meaning: Fortune-telling as per my reference! ^.^
Temper: He is pretty laid back like his father, he likes to make friends, but finds it hard to when he can see how they are going to die, and has a tendency to tell them how they will die. He doesn't mean to be mean by it, and doesn't understand why others will shy away from him after he tells them. In his mind its better to know how so you can at least try and prevent it...
Personality: Durriken is a pretty laid back guy, he makes friends easily, but finds that he loses them quickly. He doesn't like to travel much, while the world does fascinate him, he is more of a home body, or at least he doesn't travel Too far from home. He may be gone for a month or two, but he always returns. He has a tendency to scare his friends and others away because he can see their deaths in his dreams, and he has it in his mind that he has to tell them so they can at least try to prevent it. After all, if you know how your going to die, then you can stay away from that type of thing right? Like walking off a cliff... you would stay away from cliffs. He is often frustrated by the idiocy of others when they avoid him for telling them, and he is confused when they don't believe him. He will learn eventually, maybe, to not tell people how they are going to die, but for now, he hasn't learned. He holds close ties to his family and doesn't like to be out of reach of them for too long. He fears for their lives, since they are in his dreams more then others. He doesn't care about his status, but he prefers to try and fit in. Who knows if he will ever learn the error of his ways to actually fit in.

Female:
Basket Name: Syeira
Meaning: Princess As referred from here ^.^
Temper: She can be kind, once you get to know her, very distrustful and can be a pain to others until that point. She is protective of her family and friends and she would never let anyone she doesn't trust near them. She shares her mothers gift (Or Curse) of seeing the soquili around her parish in her dreams.
Personality: Syeira is a Loner, she loves to travel and she enjoys spending time with her family and friends but she would rather be off enjoying the world and seeing new things then being in one place forever. At this point she can't see herself ever settling down with one stallion and she doesn't know how her mother can do it. She will always check on her family and still holds close ties to them. She hopes one day to be able to read the beads as well as her mother can. When she has her Troubled nights where she sees the death of the ones around her, she tends to be snippy and prissy like her namesake, but don't you dare treat her like a princess. She will hate you forever. She would rather be off doing things then sitting around worrying about her hooves or her hair. Like her mother she tends to try to make herself hide her weaknesses even more then usual, and she tries hard not to let anyone know that she even has any. Her goal right now is to travel and force her father's heard to accept her, since she feels that they should have to accept her since her father belongs to them. She will continue to try and win them over, but not at the cost of her dignity. She will not bow down and obey, at least not easily.


A Little About Me:
^.^ Hi!! I'm Sesshiyasha, you can call me Starla, Star, Sesshi, or sessh, or any combination of those, umm... I have answered to "Hey.. You... With the name..." before... ^.^ I love to roleplay, and I tend to make long responses and write out more details then you may really need. I get bored easily and find that roleplaying and doodling helps to kill my boredom. I am hoping to make more entries into this contest, raffle, thingy, thing, But currently my grandfather is in the hospital after his first eye surgery to try and get some sight back in his left eye got messed up and then two months later it was infected and they had to remove it, which then got messed up >.> And he was bleeding into his brain... he has had emergency brain surgery and is recovering, but they still don't know how much damage has been done and if he will bleed again or not... so its a waiting game ya know? I have not told you all of this for sympathy, just explaining why this may be the only time I am able to enter this lovely contest/raffle/thingy. ^.^ I also remember that Jessamine was around when I first looked at soquili back in the day xD I just have never owned enough gold to buy one, I really need to fix that issue now that I have a bit saved up... I was always a lurker though and a fan... Did I mention I love to roleplay and I don't care how slow my partners are as long as they don't forget about me? Oh and I would love for them to stay close, I love the thought of them randomly wandering into each other after they have left their mother/father and have like found a mate or something and then mom/dad shows up and is all like "Hmm... So who's this?" xD To me thats just hilarious, anyways... ^.^ I like this contest/Raffle Idea, and I think its awesome, and alot more fun! <3 >.> I think.... maybe... I will stop typing now... Oh and umm... I made it through the long post (I don't think it was that long by the way, could have been worse...) and so I feel so beloved to be involved in this contest/raffle/thingy! <3

Your Name: stormfllower
Entry: 1 of 1

I have 2 options for each gender name-one being gender neutral so Ill put it first
Genderless Name: Sage
Meaning: English unisex name which can mean "profoundly wise one."
-I dont like it for the meaning as much as the name just seems like it would fit for some reason xP-

Male:
Basket Name: Sage-above, Djordji
Meaning:Romani variant spelling of Serbian Djordje, meaning "earth-worker, farmer"
Temper: Stoic
-One who is seemingly indifferent to or unaffected by joy, grief, pleasure, or pain.(seemingly being the key word)
Personality: Another word would be gruff or maybe he seems rebellious, but in truth he is just rather quite. He isn't one of many words until it somehow interests him in some way. By no means is her shy but is just calm and enjoys watching life move by. He is very grounded and peaceful at heart feeling comfort amongst the land, he feels he has a connection with the earth and he can 'feel' it's beat of life. In this he does enjoy exploring, letting the earth beneath his hooves guide him were they may. When he does meet someone knew he is very observant just listening to the way they move and breathe, trying to figure them out a little. Sometimes his analyzing/'starring' can seem weird but once he realizes he's done so for too long he will quickly apologize and insist he meant no offense. Others see him as a loner, since he keeps to himself for the most part, but he actually truly enjoys meeting new faces and learning new things. He may seem an oddly quite companion but once one gets to know him his loyalty shows and in truth he has a rather 'true heart' and could sweep one off their hooves. His emotions may not show and his heart he may not wear on his hooves, but he has much love and kindness to share and he will fight for those he loves, becoming their shield and sword should it come to it.

Female:
Basket Name: Sage-above, Tsura
Meaning: Romani form of Slavic Zora, meaning "light of dawn"
Temper: Meek
-Showing patience and humility; gentle.
Personality: Kind, gentle, and a bit shy is she but there is not another like her. She kind to all she meets and has a great capacity to love and wants to give more then to receive, she truly has a true heart. She is very close with her family and though they may travel she prefers to stay in one place. She doesn't mind the traveling there are always new things to see and people to meet, but she is a tad shy though her shell is easily broken and she loves to learn all she can so after a point she may not stop asking questions and if it's something she deems interesting then well good luck. She is however pretty shy around Stallions, as a foal it wasn't any different-male, female..it didn't matter to her but as she came of age she has grown shy around males outside of her family. Once she is able to relax(be it from being shy and hardly speaking or being a chatter box) you truly start to see her colors and how deeply she cares about others always wanting to comfort and heal. She especially loves foals and playing tag and other games, here is a chance to really see her shine. She also loves to dance and rain or shine she will find one reason or another for dancing.

They all are beloved by all

Foal is: Female
Prompt #: 2
Entry:
Today, you and your father are headed up a mountain. There's an obvious trail already cut out of the earth leading to the top, but he just insists you head up the rocks and through the trees. How do you react to your father's route?

The day started on a frosty morning; the sun was just starting to creep over the horizon. Cooper nudged at Aviendha’s shoulder blade, trying to wake the young foal. Light brown eyes fluttered open, then slid down again with the weight of the sandman’s dust. A small grumble emerged from the filly before Cooper almost knocked her over in an attempt to get her attention.

It all lead up to this moment. Her father told her that they would be going on a small trip up the mountain. There was an odd saying she remembered… Maybe it was her grandmother who said it. Sometimes the easiest route isn’t the right one. It sounded like something she might say; she was a very wise mare.

When Cooper insisted on not using the path, Aviendha only hesitated for a moment. She knew inwardly that it meant something. There was a lesson behind it, even if Cooper didn’t mean for it to be that way. Aviendha glanced around and took an unsteady step. Then, taking in a breath, she lifted her head in confidence and went straight for the bushes…

To say the least, it was a struggle for the young foal; she was using muscles she never would have used to climb and scramble over things. But she got to see a cute spring that she got to drink fresh water from and a nice scenic view of the plains below… Things she never would have been able to see had she taken the path. It did in fact take longer to get to the top, but Aviendha never complained. She was too busy enjoying the journey.

At the top, Cooper asked her what she thought of the trip. The foal smiled up at her dad. “The road less travelled is sometimes the better road. Also that the destination isn’t want matters, but the journey!” she chirped. She had heard those sayings somewhere, too, but she felt they applied here. When her father gave her an applicative look, the foal laughed some. “And besides, Da, I don’t want to be like everyone else. I’ll make my own path in life. Just you watch.”

Foal is: Male
Plot Ideas:

I'm A Monster
While still a foal, Vari has his first breakdown and he hurts others. How and how many depends on how it plays out. He deems himself too dangerous to be around others and vows to be a hermit, avoiding others at all costs once he's able to survive on his own. He shuts himself away in a cave, ignoring the wanderlust of his roma blood. If he can't interact with others, he can't have a built up of emotions that need to spill forth, right? But ignoring the wanderlust is just adding onto the things he locks away. He has another episode, hurting nothing but the home he had created for himself. He sees ignoring others isn't doing any good, either.

We Can't All Be Crazy
Which would happen after the first one. In an attempt to better understand what's going on, he'll seek out the rest of the family to try and prove to himself they're not all as crazy as those he's met seem to be.

You Are A Beast, But I'm The Beauty
I love Beauty and the Beast. I can't help trying romances like it when I encounter personalities like the Beast. It would make me happy to find someone stubborn and brave enough to stay around despite his breakdowns.

Let Me Pick Your Brain
Vari loves the brain. I can easily see him only interacting with others under falsehood so he can test their reactions to certain things he says or does.

I have a slow muse and prefer playing things out to let ideas form on their own, so I may or may not add to this if I get anymore ideas.

Your Name: CheshireKttty
Entry: 1 of 3 (for now, will update as I add more)

Male:
Basket Name: Mizhak Mulo
Meaning: Cursed Spirit of the dead (Romani)
Temper: Reserved
Personality: (Unisex)

Female:
Basket Name: Kesali Armaya
Meaning: Forest Spirit Curse (Romani)
Temper: Reserved
Personality: (Unisex)

As the personality will be the same for either gender, I’ll simply use the female form instead of ‘it’.

Kesali Armaya is an affectionate and caring filly who loves her family dearly and follows the Romani ways. Yet underneath her cheerful, optimistic personality lies a dark secret that only those close to her know. Kesali has what she calls Rarti Prikasa, or Night of Omens. These are nights where she receives visions of tragedies to come. While these visions don’t come often, they still terrify Kesali and cause her anxiety. Being the caring filly that she is, Kesali will try to stop these visions as often as she can. Yet time and time again she will learn that she cannot truly stop these visions from happening. Every time she interferes, her attempts to alter the future only cause even greater tragedies to happen.

These visions confuse and scare her, forcing her to live in fear of her dreams and to be cautious about the future. Since she has no idea why these visions are given to her if she cannot alter them, she simply tries to ignore them and go on with her life. While Kesali may try to ignore her ‘curse’, she is determined to try to find a way to stop it. Until then, she will try to think positively and put on a happy face. She is always the proper lady and would likely make an overprotective mother. It is her wish to have a ‘normal life’, even if she simply has to pretend.
