Applying for: Nywele x Asali Name of SoA: Ruqayqa (Pronounced: Officially it's roo-kay-kah, but I keep saying it as roo-kai-kah. So I suppose either. x3; ) Meaning: It is of Arabic origin and means "Delicate". Gender: Female Appearance: See ref for best idea. Nywele's base coat color was used for hers. The mehndi-esque tattooing she has on her front and back legs carry her mother's gradient, as well as some of her white mixed in for accents. Asali's chocolate base is the color for her hair and tail tip, for the outline of the tear drop shapes on her shoulder, as well as the two little tear shapes at the corners of her eyes. Visual reference: [ Reference Image ] (Not necessary to be exact. I was just sort of winging it.) Personality: Ru is a soft-spoken little gal that gets distressed from anger and raised voices, even if they aren't directed at her. While she doesn't like to call attention to herself, she does enjoy making others happy, especially if she can get them to laugh. She isn't goofy or particularly bouncy, nor does she really consider herself particularly funny, but when something she says or does makes someone else smile or laugh, it is a good bet that she'd at least smile too. Ruqayqa does so love listening to folks talking, be it in a group or just one on one with herself and another. If someone is stressing, she doesn't mind listening and being a shoulder to lean on if need be. Ru will never be really prone to outbursts of emotion and will be even-keeled throughout her lifetime. (Perhaps with brief periods of anxiety if times of a lot of stress or in times of many, many big changes.)
As a seer, her gift will be mild, occasionally pushing moderate, in strength and will generally depend on her proximity to those around her, be it physical closeness, emotional affinity, or what have you. So, her siblings, parents, and friends (Future pad and fellow banu of said pad's harem, when things get around to those sorts of things. Her gift won't give her any insight on whatever children she may have, which will definitely be likely to cause her some worry every now and then.) would be far more likely to pop into her visions than some stranger who is passing by the pride's territory. Her visions will either come to her in dreams or as daydreams during conversation with the above mentioned folks and will generally pertain to what she heard or spoke about with them. (Be it viewing what is worrying them herself which gives her a better picture on things, or less commonly, the solution to what is worrying them.) Any additional requirements that the family has: No leaving the pride and no full body tattoos. I'd be up for discussing if she went to Kwea. (Also, if she is chosen, would someone be so kind as to post her in the thread for me? My comp hours are usually in the late afternoon/evening to the wee hours of the morning so I'd hate to miss any deadlines.) ((EDIT: Also, if you need more boys, I'd be willing to do a genderswap. I'd just have to find a new name. ^^ ))

Applying for: Nywele x Asali Name of SoA: Cantara Meaning: "small bridge" (because she's meant to be a small bridge between Nywele and Kwea) Gender: female Appearance: Largely colored like her mother, but for her underbelly, face, and chest, which take after her mother's markings, but have her father's creamy color. She has her father's eyes and mother's black nose. Visual reference: MS Paint fail Personality: Always one to want what she can't have, you might think Cantara is given to complaint. As a cub, this would be true, but as she learns more of what is expected from her as a member of the U'W Tara will learn to internalize her desires and disappointments and construct an imaginary world where everything she has ever wanted and been denied is hers for the taking. This will make her a better banu, more reserved and less demanding, but it will also make her a less demonstrative, less affectionate person in general. Her pad will have to work to draw her out, or simply give in to her every whim.
As a seer, I'd like her to experience her visions only when she coughs, sneezes, or hiccoughs, which means they are very brief, but if many occur in succession she might be able to figure out what she's seeing. Maybe. Any additional requirements that the family has: No full body tattoos, no leaving the pride. I'd actually love for her to go with Kwea, because that would be one of the major disappointments in her life (since I'd like her to fall for someone else and be reminded that she can't be his).
If I'm not around at the deadline, and I'm chosen, could you post for me?

Applying for: Bufonidae x Gella Name of SoA: Hiimatayt Meaning: hematite spelled funny Gender: female Appearance: The majority of her body is the same color as this grandparent, but in the same pattern as Gella, with the underbelly and all being the lighter shade of grey found in this fellow, whose eye markings she has, though in a lighter grey. Her hair and tail tufts should have streaks of Bufonidae's purple. Visual reference: MS Paint fail Personality: Hymatyt is nowhere near as dark as her coloration and name-stone might suggest. If anything, this girl is more like a bundle of sunshine, and everything she does, she does whole-heartedly, and with a smile. Even when she doesn't like what she has to do, she smiles. Imagine Disney's Cinderella - or Snow White. She's very persistent and thinks that everyone needs to have their day brightened, and that it's her job. She will keep at it until they smile, too. Clearly, shyness is not a problem with her. Any additional requirements that the family has:No horrible mean cubs. Gemstone name. Must stay in pride.

Applying for: Bufonidae x Gella Name of SoA: Girasol (will go by Gira) Meaning: It is a type of opal where the color play follows the course of the sun's rays. It seemed appropriate for her. Gender: Female Appearance: Front leg cuffs and eye markings from Badru (his, not my sketchy interpretation), as well as some coloring influence. Mother's underbelly marking and some coloring, various throwback colors and markings. The spiderweb should be more stylized like some of the throwbacks with various purple spots in father's coloring appearing to be woven into it/hanging from it, web should appear almost shiny if possible, exact positioning is CC. Eyes are gray with flecks of father's purple. Visual reference: Rough Idea Personality: Gira will early on develop a fascination with death that will ultimately lead her to aspirations as an acolyte. Her fascination however, is not morbid in the least. She views death as the great equalizer, and believes that each day should be lived to its fullest because of how few one might be given. Despite this belief in temporary natures she does have a keen interest in the process of rebirth, she simply does not view the afterlife as the same as the current life. For the most part she will be a light hearted and kind lioness, drawing serious only when confronted with an issue she cannot laugh away. She will feel a strong connection to the temple and history, and will try to spend quite a bit of time with scribes. She seeks to understand the world and why things are the way they are, and may become frustrated if she feels that someone is holding information back from her. Frustration will turn into short solemnity, where she might isolate herself and contemplate the reasons. As she gets older she may have trouble developing strong relationships, based on her beliefs in temporary natures and unadmitted fear of loss. Any additional requirements that the family has: Will not be leaving the pride, gem-related name, fairly tempered personality
