Welcome to the journal of the happenings of
the girl Kahlina and the surprising additions to her life.
Please do not post here.
I will likely conduct rp elsewhere with others,
and simply link them back here.
Of course all staff are free to do as they wish in here!
(Comments and requests for rp are welcomed via PM. I'd love to hear from you!)

Kahlina is a dreamy young girl, always using her own imaginings and books to escape the reality of her world. Many details of her life are less than perfect, but she has found a way to shelter herself from the unpleasntness. Her home is a tiny apartment with her ever-busy parents. They rarely have time for her, and often leave her to fend for herself. She finds the miniscule rooms stifling, and thus most often can be found out in the huge park that isn't far from home.
It's meant for the rich and well-off to enjoy for running, cycling, and other such activities, but there are many places that go unnoticed, thick stands of wide-spreading trees, clumps of berry bushes at their hearts. It was here, away from the noise and interruption of snooty adults and their vicious offpsring, that she found her own bit of paradise. Somehow she has found bits of boards and plywood and pieced together a simplistic treehouse. She has even managed to roof it so that it keeps out any rain that may choose to ruin the fun of the high-and-mighty in the park. To her mind, those are the best of days, when the world seems like it is hers alone.
Inside, she has stored all her treasures. The walls are lined with makeshift shelves with books of all kinds, though most dominant are fantasy novels and books on myths and tall tales. These are her favorites. Also to be found in this hideaway is a very simple ceader jewelry box, not much bigger than the biggest of her books. Inside are small things she's come to care for in her short span of life. A few feathers, some shiny rocks, a necklace that broke when she was nine, along with other little doodads and whatnots.
Scattered all over the little hut are soft but ragged blankets, stained or torn cushions, and stubs of candles, most often that had originally been burned wrong and gone out for the owner. But clever Kahlina, she trimmed the wax, replaced wicks, and could have them burning merrily again if she so chose. Yes, she sometimes would even come out here at night, when it was most unadvisable for a young thing like her to be out amongst the dubious characters lurking in the shadows of the park.
This is her world, somehow secluded from the others who tend to tease and make fun of her innocent play. She has found no friends who imagine as she does, nor dance for the joy of it under the trees in the dappled sunlight as she does. Noone understands, not even her own parents. For that matter, they have no idea what it is she likes or doesn't like. Birthdays often consist of a cupcake with a candle and a giftcard to the bookstore. At least they knew that much about her, so she supposed she should be grateful.
Yes, the life of this little girl is supremely lonely, and she seeks the solace of nature and imagination to soothe her small soul.

This is where Kahlina sleeps when it is cold or too stormy, and where she plugs along in her homework after school. She also cooks and cleans here. Since her parents are too busy to deal with feeding her or for caring for their own home, she has taken up doing it, partially to have a decent living space, and partially to have something to do.
She is quite an accomplished cook for her age, despite the tiny kitchen that only has enough room for her to turn around in. The oven isn't even big enough to make a normal size cake in, though she occasionally makes cupcakes. Her favorite meal is stir-fry. Due to her parent's schedules, she also often walks down to the local market to buy groceries with the money her mother or father left her.
Her bedroom is very nearly the size of a walk-in closet. In the big city, even that luxery is something to be proud of, though. Many of her schoolmates must share the same size room with two or three siblings. At least she has it to herself. But this does not thrill Kahlina, for she tends towards being claustrophobic, and the small space always drags down her spirits. There is practically nothing of hers in this room, so it remains bare and unfeeling.
The living/dining room is where she usually is, if not in the kitchen. She sits alone at the small table that serves as her desk, doing homework and nibbling her meals. They do have a television and a small couch, but she isn't interested in tv programs. If anyone had ever asked her why, she would have told them that they lack the proper scope for her imagination. But noone has ever asked. On especially cold or stormy days, she likes to curl up on the couch, below the only window in the apartment, and read her beloved novels, or daydream the hours away.
TREEHOUSE:
Somehow she has found bits of boards and plywood and pieced together a simplistic treehouse. She has even managed to roof it so that it keeps out any rain that may choose to ruin the fun of the high-and-mighty in the park. To her mind, those are the best of days, when the world seems like it is hers alone.
Inside, she has stored all her treasures. The walls are lined with makeshift shelves with books of all kinds, though most dominant are fantasy novels and books on myths and tall tales. These are her favorites. Also to be found in this hideaway is a very simple ceader jewelry box, not much bigger than the biggest of her books.

Yes, she sometimes would even come out here at night, when it was most unadvisable for a young thing like her to be out amongst the dubious characters lurking in the shadows of the park.
This is her world, somehow secluded from the others who tend to tease and make fun of her innocent play. it is here most of her time is spent, particularly when the weather is fine. During the summer months, she often will sleep here, breathing the heady scents of blooms and lulled by the calls of the park's evening birds.

PARK:
The park in which her treehouse resides is quite large, and located in the middle of the city. It contains several forested areas, bike and walking trails, playgrounds, baseball fields, many wide grassy areas, and various buildings. Most of these buildings are old, and are used for storage for equpment to maintain the park or for the occasional activities that occur within it. At one end is a vast area with a stage, which has been used for large concerts in the past. At the other end are privately owned stables and several run-down gyms. The area around the park is still respectable, but the neighborhood has been declining, and the upper class have moved away to finer, newer parts of town.

The Troublemakers (NPC) - Kahlina has frequent run-ins with a gang of older boys who harass the shopkeepers and terrorize those in the park's area. She suspects they are homeless and/or parentless. She both fears and despies them for their lack of concern for anyone but themselves.

  This is how Kahlina's dryad began... just a round ball of swirling potential! Not much was known about this new thing, though it became a confidant of the young girl Kahlina. Only time would tell what stirred within these green depths.
Newly emerged, with innocent nature and a growing affection for her caretaker, Maia is now loose upon the world.
