Welcome to Gaia! ::

<__< I'll be entering the contest in a bit :3 <3

Like tonight after work or something D: <3

Lion: Girl 1
Name: Waneta 'shape-shifter' - Native American
Personality: Sweet as the sun is bright and cold as the night is dark. She's got two sides and choose only one. She is the happiest go-luckiest lioness one could meet. Her temper can flare and may if the wrong thing is said. Other then the little slip up of angry words she's just a plain old sweet heart.

Lion: Girl 2
Name: Allene 'attractive, peaceful' - Gaelic
Personality: This pretty girl has a tonne of confidence, it's actually in bucket loads, just pouring from every free sentence she states. Head generally raised and walk has this little waggle in it that says she owns the ground she walks on but, any male wanders over and she is ready to be dominated. She has few female friends, she's fair to great for that most if not all are male and will forever be that way until the end of her time on the earth.


Lion: Boy 1
Name: Basil 'like a King' - Greek
Personality: This boys got charm, he's a sweet heart from the get go and a romance finder. He enjoys a good time of watching the sun rise or set with a nice partner at his side. Or a good conversation. He's just about ready to do anything to be around a woman. Give him a woman and his paws get all loose and he gets all 'cool'. Look out girls he'll try to sweep you off your paws!

Lion: Boy 3
Name: Odakota 'friend' - Native American
Personality: Quiet as the day he was born, not a peep is heard from this fellow, he isn't mute just prefers the silence. He hasn't even heard his own voice out loud in nearly a summer and a half He enjoys time to himself though he is willing to help out if asked.

Lion: Ari
Name: Ari Waya
Personality: Soft spoken, kind hearted and fearless. She is the be all of huntress material. She isn't cocky though and doesn't push past what she knows she can';t do. A team player by definition. Not everyone's perfect though and as everyone else can she makes mistakes and often can lead to trouble if her mind gets set on teh wrong thing.

Lion: boy 3
Name: Arun (Hindi -- Redness of the Rising Sun)
Personality:

Arun is what most would consider a "typical boy." As a child, he was always the one who could be find poking his nose into things he certainly wasn't suppose to, and he never really outgrew it. Cocky almost to the point of being obnoxious at times, he thinks he's such a lady-killer, although most female lions probably think otherwise. It's all in good fun though, and underneath everything that makes you want to roll your eyes, Arun is a good guy. Rowdy, rambunctious, and always willing to push things juuuuust a little too far (and probably enjoying every minute of it), this striped male doesn't seem like he has much sense of responsibility.

That statement, however, wouldn't be completely correct.

There are times when suddenly, as if out of nowhere, Arun can and will be surprisingly level-headed, and even a good leader. While most ceremonies he tends to goof off, the moon ceremony (or those like it, since this is the first one in a while) is one he takes exceptionally serious. Respect for the dead is one of the few moral things he would never even think about joking about, most likely because his father died when he was an adolescent. Disrespect his father, and you will find a very angry lion at your throat in a heartbeat.


Lion: Ari
Name: Ari Waya
Personality:

Ari is a difficult lion to place, personality-wise. She is neither shy, nor cynical. She isn't chatty or grumpy, although she is a bit curious at times; she isn't personable, yet is by no means a recluse. She just... doesn't speak. In fact, when it comes to interacting with other lions, she seems to have a hard time 'voicing' what she really means, if you'll pardon the pun. Often communication comes in small gestures -- a semi-circle drawn in the dirt with her paw might mean moon, a flick of her eyes in a certain direction might point you down a certain path. It makes for awkward conversations at times, especially for creatures new to her 'speech' pattern, but with a little work and perhaps a few scoffing huffs from Ari, the message is usually gotten across somehow.

In regards to her seer's power, she's got the potential to be a strong seer, but at this point in her life it's often hard to understand. It has never been a burden to her, throughout her life, but she never really welcomed it either, mostly just scoffing at it and shaking her head, especially when she was younger. Now she realizes that perhaps it's not something that should be ignored. Like any adult who has not practiced when the mind is young and pliable, however, she has a much harder time learning to understand it than had she started when she was a cub.

When it comes right down to it, Ari is, what other seers might say, a 'calm' or 'distant spirit.' She doesn't mind other lions, and in fact quite likes company, although it's hard for her to express it sometimes. she can often seen walking with them as they chat, her green eyes flickering between them with either a calm, mild interest or perhaps just a politeness, to insure she did not offend them. Small, personal smiles are not a rare sight, but do not come as easily as one more social. In the end, while seeming a little awkward when it comes to communication, she's rather expressive despite her inability (or perhaps just disinterest) when it comes to speaking.


(lawl, tl;dr -- sorry about that. ;;; I don't think I saw anything on the size of the entry...? If so, please prod me, I'll def try to cut that down to a more manageable size.)

Tree Ceremony list is updated.

I decided against adding the two cubs. They do still technically have family, so, sorry. sad

If I'm missing anyone, please let me know~ I was going a little out of order for a bit and am worried I might have. @_@

Whatever works best for you! whee I'm easy to please, as long as I get a grasp of it.

I'll probably start to go through them Saturday morning, so feel free to edit as much as you'd like.

Lion: girl 1
Name: ABETZI: Omaha name meaning "yellow leaf."
Personality: Abetzi is a caring but very shy lioness, she is very selfless and almost naive. She isn’t the smartest, but she knows when things sound obserd that they’re fake. Picture her as a loving house wife, staying at home while the male goes to make the money, while she stays at home, very content with that sort of lifestyle.

Lion: Boy 1
Name: HONON: Miwok name meaning "bear."
Personality: Honon is exactly what his name means. A bear. He is gruff and pushes and rolls his weight around, but underneath all his big fur and muscle is a friendly soul. One who would die for an honorable cause, or friend. His voice may be gravelly but he isn’t all nails. He takes time getting use to in his ways, he will be sarcastic to someone, but you can’t help but like him. He’s like an old man sometimes.

Lion: Boy 3
Name: CHU'A: Hopi name meaning "snake.” and ACHAK:Algonquin name meaning "spirit.". (Chua’a’Achak- Snake spirit)
Personality: Achak is a rather solitary male, he’s mysterious and seems to be always spotted by someone. He talks to himself a little, but he’s nice if someone will get out of there system that ‘he’s bad’, he’ll always say ‘don’t judge a book by its cover’ or always something close, when meeting a new face. But be prepared to do most of the talking when near him..He’s not much of a talker.

Lion: Boy 2
Name: NAWKAW: Winnebago name meaning "wood."
Personality: Awkward. That word fits Nawkaw like a glove. He’s a goof, and trips and stutters all over himself. He’s really an open loving, caring, happy guy. He just gets so nervous around others. He mean’s well, but he can get so annoying to be around, if your around him a lot.

Lion: Girl 3
Name: NIABI: Osage name meaning fawn." and ONATAH: Iroquois name meaning of the earth." (Niabi’Onatah, meaning: Fawn of the Earth)
Personality: Niabi is a free and wild spirit. She loves her freedom more then anything, and is a bit rowdy and flighty. She likes to have fun and mess around with friends. She’s one you’d see doing something twenty-four seven. She always has to be doing something, if she isn’t she gets bored, and bored is not something she likes to be.

I will edit this with the others, so not to take up space.
Sorry if it seems like I just now saw this and rudely came in. I've been lurking a while, and if I did I would put someone in here in a heart beat, but sadly I dont xD;

There is one more girl added to the contest!

Name: Kohana'Subiani
Image:

Personality:
(Hoping to enter him into the Sky festival :3)
Kohana is, to put it simply, the strong, silent type. He takes his duty to his clan very seriously. He's mastered the art of ignoring anyone who expresses interest in bringing out a comical side in him. Even Eeva's lucky to get five words out of him a day.

So far, life's been pretty average for Kohana. His youth was spent as his sister's shadow and protector. He never socialized with others within our outside of the clan unless Eeva insisted upon it. Presently, his largest aggravation is Eeva's determination to seek out friends -and perhaps future mates- on her own. Despite his expertise in tracking his sister, Kohana's losing sight of her more and more.

Name: Nekoda'Waya
Image:
Uncerted Image
Personality:
Nekoda is curious by nature. He loves to have fun, and more importantly, loves to see to it that everyone else is having fun as well. Getting a laugh out is perhaps the most important thing in his mind. He's not hesitant to fool around or goof off to lighten the mood around him. Many mistake this as wanting to be in the center of attention, though he'd not argue the point if it was ever to come up. As far growing up, he has no real ambition towards any set goal. He never seems to look to far into the future, living in the moment is what life's about for the young cub.

He does have a dangerous sense of curiosity and a stubborn nature towards anyone that challenges him. In the cub's mind, nothing is too far out of reach or impossible for him. It's something that could very well lead to trouble with the cub.

Koda's dangerously protective of anything that he cares for. He makes friends easily, sometimes far too easily.


Name: Rehema'Subiani
Image:
Uncerted Image
Personality:
Rehema is a huntress at heart. She grew up wrestling boys, taking any dare thrown her way, and polishing her skills. When Malik left the pridelands to search for his kidnapped brother, she left along with him. During the trip, she and Malik were wounded and sought refuge in the mountains. While Malik decided to continue his search, Rehema remained behind, took a mate, and started a family. She's fiercely protective of the clan, very motherly in nature, but she has a stubborn edge to her that's often confused for outright aggression.
