Welcome to Gaia! ::

Trying for Ari!
Personality: Quite a lot of who Ari is is based around her abilities as a Seer. Though these abilities are fairly strong in Ari, they are also very specific. The visions that she receives usually have to do with life of some kind. Usually, this means that she can See when another lioness is pregnant, how many cubs she will have, and if it will be a difficult or easy birth. At times, she also Sees when new members are coming into the pride, or if someone is trapped somewhere and needs to be rescued. Because of all this, she tends to keep to herself for the most part, but at the same time, everyone knows who she is and where she lives - and others (especially lionesses) are not at all hesitant to come to her and ask for a Seeing. Ari is very kind and sympathetic as well, and usually will come to difficult births to try and help things go better if she can.

Lion: girl 1
Name: Zahavah
Personality: Zahavah is a bright and cheerful girl, generally loving everyone and everything around her. However, at the same time, she is dreadfully unsure of herself - having little to no self-confidence. She's quick to compliment others on their appearances, but thinks that her own is fairly plain. After all, she has all the same color to her fur, basically and she thinks that this make her unattractive.

Lion: girl 2
Name: Renata
Personality: For the most part, Renata is a quiet and withdrawn lioness. As a cub, she was sick quite a bit and nearly died several times. So she is very wary of any kind of disease or infection. She hates being near anyone who is sick, but at the same time wishes to help them, so she has a bit of dilemma to work through.

Lion: girl 3
Name: Saskia
Personality: More often than not, the first place one should look for Saskia is amoung the young males of the pride. But not because she's a flirt - rather the opposite. Saskia considers herself to be "one of the guys", having had a lot of brothers growing up. She's rather a tomboy and hates being ladylike, ignoring any advice from other lionesses on the subject. She'd much rather just be "herself" and be rough and tumble like a typical male.

Lion: boy 1
Name: Tocho
Personality: An older lion, Tocho tends to be calm and steady most of the time. He enjoys young cubs, but doesn't seriously think he'll ever have cubs of his own. At some point in his past, he had a mate who died before they could have cubs, and since then he hasn't found anyone else that he loves as much as he did her. Because of this, Tocho also tends to be a bit distant toward other females, some part of him afraid to attach himself to anyone else, because he could lose them too.

Lion: boy 2
Name: Shyam
Personality: Shyam is general a decent sort of fellow, but he has a temper, and a nasty one. If someone or something makes him angry, he tends to lash out at anyone within range - even those he might have been having a pleasant conversation with until that point. He is also very young, having just grown into his full mane. This means that quite a lot of things set him off - but it is hoped that he will calm down a bit as he gets older.

Lion: boy 3
Name: Ahanu
Personality: Ahanu is a huge joker and trickster. He loves playing pranks on others and telling jokes more than anything else. However, he's generally careful that whatever he plans to pull isn't particularly mean and won't hurt anyone. If he happens to accidentally hurt another either physically or emotionally, Ahanu tends to feel very guilty and will do anything to make up for it. Sometimes he even goes TOO far in his making up.

And now that I know my plans for Saturday, this will end at 4pm PST/7pm EST on Saturday! (the contest)

The Tree Ceremony Sign ups end on Sunday, 2pm PST/5pm EST

Trying for Ari!

Personality: Ari is a quiet and shy lioness, especially around stranger males. She rarely leaves her home den and when she does, it's usually because she is having a seer call. Her seer abilities are more heard than seen which means that instead of seeing seer dreams, she hears whispers in the wind. These seer calls usually happen after the sun has set so she has became more or less nocturnal. In daytime, she usually just sleeps or grooms her white fur, the trait she and her whole family cherishes.

Lion: girl 1
Name: Abhida (“Literal meaning”)
Personality: Abhida is a very kind, good-hearted lioness who wants more than anything to help. Open and out-going, she enjoys spending time with just about anyone willing to listen to her. Finding those willing subjects, however, can sometimes be a bit of a chore. Loving and happy, she’s also a bit… detached from the proper mannerisms of society. She doesn’t always understand why lions lie to any degree. She ADORES speaking her mind, thinking it the best way to help those around her. This being the case, she can, at times, be very blunt without meaning to be. Never to be cruel or unkind, she sometimes says things very pointedly and without any perception of sparing feelings. These things come from her with perfect innocence. She also has a tendency to take things at their literal meaning, rather than anything that might have been implied.

Lion: boy 2
Name: Gahan (“Difficult to understand”)
Personality: Though he used to be ruthless to those he deemed unworthy, these days he’s actually a pretty good guy. A little stiff, not one to make a good many jokes, he still has the capacity to be liked in the pride. And only in the pride. He is loyal and warm when he needs to be, a smile rare on his features but not impossible. Within his heart lurks a lot of regret for the blinded actions of his youth, quieting him into something reserved and almost nervous at times. Still, he is a strong creature. He just… doesn’t always know how to show emotion, having been so used to always being the jackass. He’s the kind of guy that wants loves, but can’t express himself properly right away- someone the female can love the squishy inside of once past the rough exterior.

Lion: boy 1
Name: Vtla (“No”)
Personality: He is an extremely creative creature who vastly enjoys making others happy through his stories and doodles in the dirt. Particularly children, though not in a “I’m going to take you back to my cave and show you a good time” kind of way. Simmer down. He’s just a teddy bear when it comes to the young, always trying to make them entertained. This being the case, he’s usually considered a good teacher, though really he much prefers simply making them laugh than instructing them.

Lion: girl 2
Name: Quauhtli (“Eagle”)
Personality: She can be a bit… flighty? (-rim shot-) Seriously, though, she’d forget her head if it wasn’t stuck to her neck like that. The poor thing had not been blessed with a stellar memory at birth. It’s not so bad that she forgets important figures and long time friends, but she has been known to, on occasion, fail to remember the name of a newly met pride member or someone she hasn’t seen in a while. She tends to lose her way a lot, too, and is often told to “please stay within the pride” for her own safety.

Lion: boy 3
Name: Osiris (“Uncertain”)
Personality: He is, as his parents aptly saw at birth, an uncertain creature. Nervous and never fully comfortable in his own fur, he’s easily startled by… well… just about anything, actually. Strength is not his focal point, but he is rather intelligent. When possible, he liked to make jokes and be charming in a desperate attempt to cover up the inaptitude that is his over-all personality. Deep down, he wishes to be stronger, but has come to terms with the fact that he will always be that awkward lion standing in the background while others are off being brave.

Lion: girl 3
Name: Tsawonesuga (“Forgotten”)
Personality: This poor thing had never been the pride of her family. Before getting to the Ela, she lived a life in shadows, always playing second fiddle to her much brighter and prettier sister. This being the case, she’s kind of an… attention whore. She loves doing things to get others to notice her, even if her idea end up getting her into trouble. Sometimes she substitutes common sense for a chance to be seen.

For the Lovely Ari:
Personality: She’s a very sweet, very gentle lioness who lives to serve her pride and enjoys every day she spends in it. Fond of children, she never says no to a chance to look after them, though her main job is that of a huntress. While she’s a soft-spoken creature who doesn’t like to start trouble, she can be, at times, a little haughty. Praise from others of her coat and her beauty did not go completely unnoticed by the creature, which is only natural. As a result, she dislikes others treating her with disrespect. She is not a “one of the boys” kind of lioness by any means. Still, she was much more vain growing up, her attitude mellowing with age and wisdom. These days she just likes to be around others, even begrudgingly accepting the company of disrespectful youths.

Seph and I would like to sign these two up for the Rain Ceremony~ whee




They are already official mates, but the idea of a marriage ceremony is really cool~

And while I'm talking about them, I think their join RP is close enough to being done that we could post to get their certs fixed? I was thinking maybe one more round of posts and it would be finished, if that sounds good to you~

... Crud, did we ever figure which clan they'd be in? LOL I can't recall @w@

*nods* Bird is fine~ XD I just couldn't recall. Then I saw their names in the list lolz >.> *fail*

Here's my collection of entries for your contest of lovelies~ <3

Lion: Boy 1 (paint)
Name: Elohi
Personality: Elohi uses his size to his advantage by shamelessly sitting on hot-headed lions in order to get them to listen to his attempt at logic and reasoning. He is patient and protective, spending hours upon hours walking back and forth on the pride's border on the look-out for potential trouble.

Lion: Boy 2 (brown)
Name: Unas'tisgi
Personality: Unas'tisgi believes he's the center of the world. No prey can escape him (unless he lets it go), no lion can defeat him (unless he lets them win), and all the lionesses swoon as he walks past... Well, he's still working on that last one. It's hard to speak to a girl when all that comes out is "Arrrghbrraghfsfsffffyou're pretty."

Lion: Girl 3 (appy)
Name: Yine'hi
Personality: Yine'hi just wants to turn those frowns upside-down! A cub at heart, she turns everything into a game. Tag with the zebra! Leap-frog with gazelle! Run away reeeeal fast from the rhinoceros! Life is just so amaz- ooh! What was that?! Hi! Hi you! Wanna play a game?
