The world is rolling up and starting to wake up again. All over the Hartlands thickets are springing up and soon new life will be stepping out on four unsteady legs into the journey that is Life.

Iris and Farfalla were blessed with the unexpected arrival of 3 beautiful fawns:


Shakespeare: The big brother of the three, A Prince Charming in the making! Bold, brave, and ready to charge forth and save a whole world's worth of distressing damsels!

Titania: Innocent and Naive, a adorable but worrying combination. Pretty and clueless is a dangerous way to start life. With luck, good sibling and parental influences will keep her from being eaten alive.

????: What does fate have laid out for this pretty rainbow pearl? (Thicket and baby stage pictured above.) That is where YOU come in. This is Titania's twin sister and she needs a excellent home and a personality to go with it.

What To Do:

This thicket contest is only open to those with 2 Herla or less.

All you need to do is fill out the form below and write out the prompt! Easy!

*We're taking your word here. Don't make us come after you. Kuuro is in the Navy. She has access to boats and on those boats are guns. BIG guns. And planes. Planes that drop Bombs. Savy? >D


Prompt: Who Are You?

Now that you know a little about the personalities of your brother and your twin sister, who are you? Between your dashing, protective brother and your innocent and trouble prone sister, where do you fit in? Tell us how you see this little girl's personality and how she'll be interacting with her siblings, her parents, and the world around her.

~*~*~*~*~


Astra and Kuu love details and well thought out responses so make them as long as you want!

After the contest ends, Kuu and I will read the responses and decide the winner! It may take a couple days to announce because Kuuro is currently out at sea and her internet access is limited. (Remember those guns and planes kids.)

We're excited to see what you guys come up with! So get cracking!

Number of Herla: ZERO
Proposed Name: Bellfleur
Prompt Responce: To counterpoint her siblings, Bell is smart and self-confident. Able to talk her silly brother out when he gets himself too deep and shield her sister from the mean old world. Which in all truth Bell finds fascinating. I can see brains always having a role in her decisions. A part of me can also see her as being a terrible romantic who would love nothing more than peace beauty...and maybe a bit of love of her own. I would remain to be seen if she would be good at balancing the two sides or not.
Do you promise* to stay in the shop and RP this baby and make more babies with it and more babies with those and more babies with those and have a huge herla collection till forever and the end of time so help you heavenly deity of your choosing?!?!1 I do. Forever, as long a we both shall live. *giggles*

Proposed Name: Delfina

Prompt Response: Delfina is a creative and wise creature full of wonder and ideas about the world. She gained her wisdom from watching and listening to the world around her quietly. It helps that she is extremely intelligent and processing the information comes easy to her. She enjoys flexing her mind not only in logical standpoint but in a creative one as well, she is always creating poems and songs. Her demeanor is quiet, a bit shy and dreamy.

Her brother is brash and brave and while those are both admirable qualities it also creates a lot of trouble for him, luckily he has Delfi to help him avoid the worst of the decisions. The two of them are very close and talk about almost everything. Though sometimes she feel s more like an advisor to a great king then a sister to her brother.

Her sister is naive and innocent, qualities that can either make her seem cute and pure or can get her killed if she isn't careful. Delfi is often recruited to be her sister's guardian when they are out an about, which can be fun considering they are both very being twins and all. Always laughing and playing games together. Even though they are twins the two of them could not be more different, and the differences can make their relationship trying. Like with her brother she feels less like a sibling and more like a keeper of a silly princess.

Her parents love her very much but being overshadowed by her brother's boldness and her sisters fragility can become a bit much, leading to Delfi becoming quiet and secluded when she isn't watching out for them.

When it comes to others outside her family they might find her a bit well, odd. Due to her whimsical and dreamy nature, but once they get to know her they will love her. Her kindness and positive outlook on the world will shine through in even the darkest of times.

She is still very much a sweetheart but you'll find it's harder to get her talking. When she isn't around her siblings she is often found alone with a dreamy look on her face humming a tune quietly to herself.

Do you promise* to stay in the shop and RP this baby and make more babies with it and more babies with those and more babies with those and have a huge herla collection till forever and the end of time so help you heavenly deity of your choosing?!?!1 Of course! Why wouldn't I she will be a interesting character to RP and make lots of babies with.

User Name:RockerWolfie1616
Number of Herla:0 Zero
Proposed Name:Lily
Prompt Response:Always one with a delicate nature and, bright shining smile she is more than meets the eye. Filled with spunk and, attitude Lily sticks close to her sister. That's what twins are for after all! Sure, big brother is fun and seems like he'll be a level headed young male but, Lily would much rather tag alongside her twin. Who else will keep dear Titania safe?! She prides herself on looking pretty but, being 'tough'. This little girl would probably stare death in the face and laugh then run away dragging her sister along behind her. Life is an adventure and, Lily is ready to run, jump and sing every chance she gets.
Family...it's important to her. Home holds her little heart on harmony, without her parents and siblings she would be lost and, very saddened. When faced with sorrow /sadness Lily can act optimistic but, in the end she will move off to sulk or let her sorrows free alone. Those are one of the few times you will not see her..or her smile.
As said, danger is something Lily faces head on! If it/someone looks mean she'll probably try to make friend's with it/them or, talk to it. The only time she won't be friendly is if said someone/thing harms her siblings or family..then she is not all smiles she is an angry little whirlwind of..well fluff. Not naive or overly innocent Lily is a cool medium between her polar opposite siblings. She is the smile among the silliness, innocence and chivalry. Her own little flag fly's high! No one can stand in her way!
Do you promise* to stay in the shop and RP this baby and make more babies with it and more babies with those and more babies with those and have a huge herla collection till forever and the end of time so help you heavenly deity of your choosing?!?!1Yes <3 I will do my best to be the best for this precious bundle of joy <3

Number of Herla: two
Proposed Name: Helena
Prompt Responce:
Helena gasps, stomping a hoof on the ground, "You DARE ask moi, the great and amazingly beautiful Helena who she is?!" She glares at you, clearly hurt by the seemingly innocent question. "I am beautiful, intelligent, loving, and most importantly modest! I stick up for the underdog and try to keep my less pretty sister out of trouble and fighting dragons alongside my less cunning brother! I'm a slayer of monsters of all shapes and sizes, a lover of Hart and Hind alike, and anual winner of the prettiest Herla contest," she pauses, "Y-you've never heard of that contest? It must be above your head, then." She snorts and bows her head, "I hope that answers your question, I hear a knight in distress!"

And with that she skipped off, only to almost run into a tree.

Nope. <3

User Name: bunnyilove
Number of Herla: Nada, Zero
Proposed Name: Puck
Prompt Responce: Puck is a little confused by her gender. Instead of being a princess she thinks that she a prince. She's a total tomboy and hates that she looks like this. She hates when other calls her a girl because she rather be called a guy. She hates to do dainty little party and rather be playing in the mud. She loves to rough around with the boys and her favorite thing to do is to play dress up and look like a guy.
She generally very loud and speaks her mind. If she doesn't like what is happening then she will speak up for the causes or the person. She has a very fiery temper and will snap out quickly if someone gets on her nerves.
She feels that her sister should man up but that doesn't mean she won't protect her. If someone even dares to talk about her sister she will tear them up.
She has a dominate personality and will take charge when needed. She hate when others are ruling and will try to overrides them if that happens.
As her namesake might tell you she is very clever and loves to play tricks on other. She finds it a good way to get revenge on other or have some fun.

Proposed Name: Hermia
Prompt Responce:
Hermia adores her big brother and little sister even though she may not be very vocal about her love. In fact, she's just not vocal period. She'd rather watch a conversation than participate, unless it involves some kind of dispute. She's more likely to show her affection via little gifts or spending time near her siblings and quietly encouraging their endeavors. Her favorite things to gift are the small flowers and feathers that she finds in the meadows.

Sometimes she doesn't understand her brother and how he can just charge headfirst into things like he tends to do. But she does appreciate how he always seems to be trying to help, no matter what quirky way he goes at it. It would be nice if he would do the same for her sometimes instead of always coming to the rescue of her sister.

She is protective of her sister, albeit less so than her brother, and will immediately blame herself if her sister fails at something. Because she is the firstborn of the two she has taken it upon herself to be a role model for her twin. Hopefully some of her lessons will keep her little sister from getting into any super dangerous situations.

Always craving attention and to be liked she'll not stray far from mother and father. Parental love is required, no matter what form it takes. To be honest she'd rather receive a subtle show of affection from her parents than one that would draw any sort of major attention.

Being a people-pleaser she hates confrontation and is eager to make everybody happy. Why can't everyone just get along? She has this basic need to keep life calm and will roll with the punches instead of defending herself. Because of this she's trained herself to listen, proving to be a great mediator when it comes to conflicts.

User Name: Thy Reaper

Number of Herla: 0 (Boo-hoo!)

Proposed Name: Ceridwen

Prompt Responce: Ceridwen and her sister are like day and night. Where her sister is naive and innocent, she is knowledgeable and very down to this world. She does not like to walk through life not knowing, so she has to know it all. She is sarcastic and a touch on the cynical side, but she's not unkind. She loves to converse with anyone who has something interesting to say, because it is a great way to learn about the world apart from watching it pass by.

Ceridwen loves her family dearly and enjoys spending time with them. Her twin sister is her favorite family member in the whole world, but after how much time was spent with her at birth, it is to be expect that she would love or dislike her sister. It just happened to be the sooner of the two. Despite the fact that Titania is her most favorite family member in the world she often thinks of her as a bit of a ditz. It both annoys and causes her great jealousy to see how carefree her sister can be because she isn't able to see things the same way that Titania does. There is more to the world in Ceridwen's eyes than what's on the surface. She tries her hardest to take care of her sister and to educate her about the things under the surface, but she's not so sure that it gets through all the time.

As for her brother, she's not too terribly fond of him all the time. She loves her brother of course, but the way he rushes into things causes her great aggravation. Especially when the matter concerns her. While she's more than certain that her brother doesn't see her as a damsel in distress, or at least she hopes as much, she still gets annoyed when he steps up to play the hero as if she needed is help. In her opinion, its none of his business and he should just keep his hooves out of her stream water. Its all fine and dandy when he's protecting Titania, but the moment that he butts into her business is the moment she feels the need to start bumping heads with him.

Finally it comes down to Ceridwen's parents. As was said before, she loves all her family, no matter how they act. (Even if she doesn't agree with them all the time.) But she feels as if she is sort of the neglected child, because between keeping her brother out of trouble and keeping an eye on her rather absent sister, Ceridwen feels as if her mother and father tend to forget that she is there. Not in the sense that they don't realize that she exists, but in the sense that they don't pay her enough mind because they are just too busy taking care of her other siblings. She respects what her parents have to say and is for the most part obedient to the very dotted i of their instructions, but sometimes she just feels down and doesn't want to listen to them so precisely, and like every child rebels with the full force of her intelligence.

    Proposed Name: Adriana (is the frequently angry wife of Antipholus of Ephesus in The Comedy of Errors by Shakespeare; fits into how Adriana feels about her family, anger to the fact that she is unlike them)

    Prompt Response: Adriana is docile and more down to Earth compared to her siblings. She watches everything around her and learns from them, causing her to know what she should and shouldn't do in life.

    For both of her siblings, she pities them. Adriana thinks that Shakespeare is full of himself and can't wait for something to smack him in the face and bring him back down to reality. As for Titania, Adriana doesn't understand how her sister doesn't understand the things that are as plain as the nose on her sister's face.

    Despite everything, she really does love them. Adriana isn't very good at expressing her feelings, but she knows they are there and there are times where she would do something small for her siblings or parents. Her emotions led her to be quite with her family, but more outgoing and loving with others.

Number of Herla: Nonnnne smile

Proposed Name: Puck

Prompt Responce: Puck is a tomboy despite her fine, rainbow hair (which will get rather untidy and dirty...though she will take better care of it once the opposite sex catches her eye wink ) -- fiery and fiesty with a spitfire nature, she doesn't think anyone can hold her back, she's an adventurer at heart (although, shades of her twin Titania, she gets lost...okay, more like a directional idiot! so she sticks close to home as best she can!). She tries not to be overshadowed by her bold and outgoing brother, but comes off as a little boisterous and loud when trying to get her parents attention. Titania is her best friend and she'll never leave her "baby sister" (in her mind!) behind, so poor Titania will be drug about on lengthy adventures that have no point, more than likely. She is a treasure-fiend and loves all things shiny, like a raven. Puck, for the most part, is self-sufficient, but under stress (she worries...alot, and about the strangest things "ohmygawdwhatiftheskyturnsgreeeeen!" -- strange, as I said!) she tends to crack and freak out and withdraw, fragile and uncertain like a newborn, remniscent of a child rocking herself back and forth. It will take the calm, smooth talking of her siblings and whatever B-F-Fs she might make (or dare we say! a boyfriend?!) to pull her out of her funk, in which she will smile albeit a little shakily and stand up. In a short amount of time, she'll be raring to go, once again. In times of stress, Puck will gnaw on her tail until it's sore.

Proposed Name: Robin
Prompt Responce:

Her brother is Prince Charming who's a knight in shiny armor. Titania is sweet and innocent. Where does that leave Robin? Curious, Adventurous and Daring...even though she looks pretty.

A little bit like her brother she is bold and strong where she helps her brother protect their sister. But whenever there is something Robin doesn't know about in their world, she is adventurous and curious which could get her in trouble and in danger like her sister Titania. So she is a mixture of the two.

As for her parents, she will listen from time to time....but not that often. She is easily distracted and sticks her nose in where it shouldn't. But sometimes she's there for her parents. She wants to help them anyway she can even though it may not be needed. But she loves her parents all the same.

The world around Robin is an open book, She would explore every safe and dangerous place. But if it's dangerous, she will approach with caution but that wont stop her.
