Hello everyone! Welcome to my little corner of the world. Here I will divulge as much information as I can about my little Stokiaci. If you have read my character sheet. (I'll assume you have) You know that Stokiaci is a botanist. So, I'm going to try and keep up the theme here. Any discoveries or theories she has made will be logged here along with journal entries, stories and art of Stokiaci.

This post will give you a more in depth look at my character Stokiaci.
Stokiaci has been with me for at least ten years. She has gone through so much and has had many transformations. She is dear to my heart and my most important creation. (If she is a Mary Sue I'm sorry. You can tell me and I'll try to improve her.) In my stories (daydreams as they've never been written down)Stokiaci always has the same appearance. Pale skin, extremely long white hair. Gray eyes. (I've since changed her eyes to dark sea green.) She only wears white and a tiny bit of very pale blue. Stokiaci is code name for the Chosen One. I sometimes call her Celestia. (I'd kill to have that name here on Gaia) I've always imagined her to be the one who saves the world when nobody else can. She has been an elf, a goddess, a princess, a queen, an android, a genetically engineered super being, and an angel. (she is totally Mary Sue in my stories!!)It only seems natural to me to import my character into the world of Gaia. I have changed quite a bit about her. She's no longer graceful and enchanting..she's no longer an extremely powerful mage that can do all sorts of magic. She's not perfect. She's really just a normal girl trying to make her place in the world while dealing with her own issues. I tried to keep her true to the image in my head. She wouldn't be Stokiaci without certain traits she has always had. She has to be kind and gentle. She's open and honest..and will always stand on the side of good. If you wish to know more about my character Stokiaci check out my journal entry here.
However, as much as I love that version of Stokiaci, I feel she would be out of place here in Gaia. So, I made an alternate version that I can play with while on Gaia. This version is just as dear to me. I love the idea of a child prodigy who is completely scatterbrained and a bit over confident in her abilities. Makes you wonder how she does it. If you haven't read the character sheet yet..you can check it out here.
Character Sheet
I've also developed a few looks for Stokiaci. These are pretty much her basic sets of clothing. I'll probably update them from time to time..(I can never make up my mind on this sort of thing)
When Stokiaci is at Porta Denia she normally wears this to work, and while working in the lab she'll throw on a labcoat. She likes to dress really business like. She loves short skirts and heels.
 ,
Sometime, Stokiaci goes into the field to do some research. A nice business outfit and heels will not do.
In her downtime Stokiaci really lets loose and likes to wear short skirts, tight dresses..and anything really cute. It should be said, that this is when you will find Stoki all nice and clean looking.

Stokiaci's journal(until I come up with a better title).
Stokiaci loves to keep a journal in her spare time. Her university professor pushed her to start one so that she could get all of her thoughts out of her head and onto paper..otherwise she would totally forget what she was thinking about..Keeping a journal has allowed Stokaici to sort out her feelings and overcome the darkest period of her life. Since she is quite scatterbrained..Stoki's journal is one big mess. She writes really bad and will jump from topic to topic as new thoughts enter her head. She may start out writing about one thing and in the end she is on a completely different track. I just thought I'd warn everyone so you aren't all like..wt..f...is this garbage.
xxxxx
Stokiaci finds herself digging around in her field bag..again. The bag is a leather brown satchel that she lugs around everywhere. It's pretty old and beat up. She considers the bag her mobile desk and literally tries to stuff everything in it. "Ehh..I know it has to be here somewhere." After a couple of minutes pass, Stokiaci realizes that she's not getting anywhere. She sighs..and dumps the entire content of her bag onto the floor. Paper flies everywhere. Stokiaci looks around her small cabin and sighs again. "This is really starting to piss me off!" She begins the horrendous task of gathering and sorting out her paperwork. Afterwards, She sets the messy stack of papers on her desk. Stokiaci, turns and looks at the remaining pile of items laying on the floor. She slowing begins sorting through the mess. She grabs all work related items and returns them to the bag. The pens and pencils go in first..and on top of them she throws her two most important books on botany, and her field journal. Next, Stokiaci grabs any personal items and puts them in a hidden pocket inside of the bag. She grabs the small wad of cash and unsuccessfully tries to straighten the bills out. She stuffs the cash into her wallet along with her meager amount of gold. She then tosses the wallet into the front pocket of the satchel.
Out of the corner of her eye, tucked beneath her ratty blue blanket Stokiaci spies the exact item she has been looking for. "Damn it..what the hell are you doing over there?" She grabs the rest of the items and throw them haphazardly into her bag. Stokiaci crawls across the floor to her "bed". She slips her hand beneath the blanket and pulls out an old book. "You know..you cause me a lot of grief!" She hugs the book to her chest and curls into a fetal position. It's an old worn black leather bound book with a smooth velvety cover.. She runs her fingers across the word written in an elegant silver script. Journal. She cracks open the journal and looks at the entry displayed on the page. It's a tear stained, almost illegible entry. Stokiaci lets out a deep sigh and begins to read out loud.
May 16, 2010
Today is a very bad day indeed. I literally hate this day. It's the worst day of the year. Well..second worst. The first worst is the anniversary of her death..Today is her birthday. It's always hard because I never know what to do with myself. The only thing I ever do on this day..is wallow in my own guilt and grief. I miss her terribly. I know we didn't get along all that well..but damn it..she was still my sister, and she meant a lot to me. I have every right to be upset that she's gone..well at least I think that I do. Papa doesn't of course..since he blames me and all. He thinks that I have no right to have any thoughts or feeling towards her. Maybe, he's right...
I always send Mama and Papa a bundle of my sisters favorite flowers on this day. I hope they arrived on time and that they are beautiful. I know it will never fix what I did..but I hope they appreciate my gesture. Her favorite flower was the blossoms of a Prunus × yedoensis..a variety of cherry tree that produces the most beautiful blossoms of any other cherry tree. We had a small grove of them near the house while we were growing up. We used to play hide and seek in that grove. I remember that Minya loved to climb the trees. One time she slipped and fell. She had a broken arm. Man she cried for hours. Mama was so mad, she had to ask her father to pay for the doctor bill..I wish Granpa was still alive when Minya was sick..He would have paid for a doctor's care...and she would still be with us today....I wonder how she would look now. I wonder what she would be doing..Sometimes, I get scared that she will come back as a ghost and terrorize me for what happened..I wonder if she blames me for her death? I hope that she knows I only tired to save her..and that I never meant to hurt her...
Stokiaci, wipes the tears from her eyes with the back of her hand. She throws the journal across the room, pulls the blanket up over her head and softly cries herself to sleep.

Field Log: Discoveries and Theories
Since Stokiaci is a botanist it's only natural that she will soon make a life changing discovery(yeah right). Whether she does or not is entirely unsure. Either way this is where you can gain first hand knowledge about such a monumental event.
Stokiaci is new to the field of botany. She has had her degree for a couple years. Like any scientist she has her own theories, no matter how crackpot they might be. Check here often to read her theories on Casimir trees and other fauna.

Artwork
As with any character it's really fun to showcase them in art. Art brings a new level to characters and allows others to see them as you picture them. Descriptions can take you a long way but I prefer looking at a character. I love to draw. I'm not perfect and I don't consider myself great. But, I always have fun drawing. Here you will find art that I've drawn of Stokiaci, as well as art of various locations that she frequents. Plus, there is a section for art that others have drawn for me. I hope you enjoy.
Also, If you like my art and want some just pm me. I'm sure we can work out a commission or an art trade.
Artwork by me:
Alright, Stokiaci is currently aboard the SS StarSeeker. There she has a small cabin, and I drew a rough sketch of her cabin. I decided to make it really cluttered and messy. It's the only way a scatterbrained person lives. There's a small desk made of drift wood and upside down clay planting pots. She has a telescope that she took from Sil. A small worklab station. A chest that contains her clothing, her casimir tree (she sleeps under her tree with a pillow and a ratty blue blanket.), crumples of paper on the floor(those are totally not underwear!!) and her field bag. Tapped to the walls you can see some of her notes, and current projects.
Airship Cabin
That's not a very good representation of her tree. Here is Stoki's tree in full glory. Stoki actually tied the moon charms to her tree. She thinks they look cute.
Casimir Tree
Wow! I'm actually really happy about how this turned out. This is the flower that Stoki is searching for! I must have looked at a dozen different flowers for inspiration. In the end I just went with what felt right. No need to be perfect with a fictitious plant. Oddly, enough I have no clue what to call it.
Flower
Artwork by others:
None yet, if you want to try your hand at drawing Stoki, let me know. I'm sure we can work out an agreement. I prefer art trades..but will do commissions as well.

Stories
I love to write. I don't think I'm nearly as good as I should be but it's still really fun for me. Here you will find anything that I've written about Stokiaci. Stories about her past and present.
Nothing to offer yet.
