❤xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxHobbies

◆Ever since she was a little girl, Ivy has enjoyed Horseback Riding. She takes four classes every week and enjoys the feeling of companionship that horses bring. She's loved horses for as long as she could remember, just like many little girls, and wished for a pony, also like many little girls. The difference between her and the other little girls is she actually got a pony (well, not exactly a pony). Buttercup, an older mare quarter-horse, has been Ivy's pride and joy since the age of ten and is her best friend. Ivy isn't competitive, like others, but wants to be. She's only been riding for four years so she isn't ready, but she will be soon. Hopefully.

◆Ivy's never been one to hide things, but her journal is something that requires secrecy. She enjoys writing in her journal her deepest thoughts and feelings, and everything that happens in her life. Since she sometimes can't remember details from the day before, it helps that she can look in her journal. It's a relaxing activity for the end of a (sometimes) hectic day.

◆Almost every week, Ivy watches old cowboy movies. The whole concept of a cowboy excites her, the gunfights, the horse chases, and most importantly, putting the bad guy behind bars. She can't help but envision herself as a cowgirl with her trusty steed, Buttercup, chasing after bad guys and kicking (naturally) bad-guy-butt.

◆For some, tigers are just one more animal becoming extinct. For Ivy, they mean a whole lot more. She's always loved tigers, and collecting tiger memorabilia has always been a favorite hobby of hers. Plushies, toys, posters, she collects them all! Except for tiger furs, those are the one thing she won't touch. She wants to support tigers, not help their extinction! That's why she also adopted a tiger through the WWF. Her parents didn't like the idea at first, but Ivy has a way of getting what she wants.

❤xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxVirtues

◆It's probably because of all the cowboy movies she's watched that Ivy's courageous. Seeing all those cowboys do brave deeds, it's rubbed off on Ivy. She's wants to be just like them, that incudes being brave. She's always ready to take a challenge and try something new (as long as it isn't spicy food). It doesn't matter if it's dangerous, Ivy's up to the challenge!

◆If courage is the name, ambitiousness is the game. It doesn't matter what it is, Ivy works hard. Ivy has a strong determination to succeed, she just feels terrible if she knows she could've tried harder on something she did. Her dreams are big and Ivy intends on achieving them.

◆Don't worry about your secret, it's safe with Ivy. She's always been loyal to her friends, so secrets never slip off her tongue. If you're looking for a someone to just tell something too, or you're in a pickle, head on over to Ivy, assuming you're her friend. If you're mean to her, don't even consider that Ivy's gonna be loyal to you if you've shown her unkindness. If being loyal to you is hurting somebody else though, she won't be loyal for long.

❤xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxFlaws

◆Ivy's never been one who enjoys waiting, which is why she's impatient. She believes that everything should come as quick as possible (which is, in her mind, immediately). Waiting gets her angry and cranky, which you don't want to see. She's never been goods in groups because of this, and probably won't ever be. She gets frustrated and angry at the others in her group if they can't do things immediately, which makes her pretty uncooperative.

◆Although Ivy rarely expresses it, and doesn't really want to admit it, she's very judgmental. Beneath her layer of openness and friendliness, she judges people harshly. Her judgements are rarely told out loud, but she always writes them in her journal- the journal knows all. Usually people don't know what she thinks about them, because it tends to be disastrous if they do. She also tends to be rude to those she thinks bad about, which doesn't make for a good relationship.

❤xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxPhysical●Description

_____✦Eyes: Ivy has big green eyes (like a tiger's) that stand out in a crowd. The have a round, oval shape to them and long black lashes (which people are surprised to learn are natural).

_____✦Hair: Ivy has short, red hair which naturally falls into curls. She has short bangs that she flips over to the side. She doesn't wear any accessories in her hair as she finds them useless.

_____✦Face: Ivy has a round, soft face with delicate features. She has a petite nose and soft pink lips. She has naturally rosy cheeks and freckles acros the bridge of her nose. She looks very delicate, almost as if she breaks on touch.

HI! Welcome to itnotm. I'd like to first off apologize for not being able to give a real and helpful cirt at the moment, it's sorta late here however I wanted to take a peek at your quest as the sphere itself sounds interesting.

However, I was wondering if you wouldn't mind changing your quest to be all one color please? The orange is actually sort of bright compared to the black and a bit harsh on the eyes when one is trying to read quest profiles. Might I suggest if you want it a color using maybe a red orange or something a little darker? Or for now just leaving it all black so it's easier to read? You can always spice it up a bit later with reference images or when you manage to get the character color the posts from there as well as add in images of the character herself. It's just a lot easier to read the information when you're mind isn't constantly trying to focus on the color changes. 3nodding


*Edit*

Okay I lied there is one thing I noticed when I glanced through your quest. Your sphere says tiger, however I noticed some of your attacks say ghost. We already have a senshi of a ghost so that sphere is already taken and this maybe stepping on that senshi's toes. However, that doesn't mean the attack isn't doable you may just have to call it something else so people do not mistake your senshi as trying to be senshi of ghosts. Might I suggest having a look at lore/myths concerning tigers. There are a lot of myths out there and sometimes the best place to look for attacks; especially in animal spheres; is in the world around you dealing with stories of such.

Secondly something else that is important to note the main bodice color of a senshi is white. The Skirt, bows, collar etc is mainly where you start to see the colors of the senshi. This is just to distinguish the good guys from the bad guys. =3

You seem to have a really good start with your quest I'd really like to help more but as I said it's late (2am!! X-X) I should get to bed. Hope I helped a little at least.

There is nothing from with Cybele but I happened to notice while surfing around in Wikipedia that there is also an asteroid called Tigris. ^^ I instantly thought your quest when I saw it.

Heya smile

Just reading the profile and the crits - nothing against Fayth at all but when I created my profile for the senshi of canines I got split views on the summoning of dogs. I changed Sirius's powers so that it wasn't summoning all the time and then was asked why I had changed it so personally I think your powers are fine unless one of the GM's says otherwise as there seems to be very split opinions on it smile

Thank you very much, I didn't see that. I'm definitely going to be using that name now!

I chose the tiger sphere because I love tigers myself, and though that it would make a great sphere, which I chose first. I wasn't quite sure how to make her life revolve around tigers or anything and decided to make her an animal-lover, which developed into a horse-lover. It's really just how my character developed. It doesn't seem random to me (to be honest, not much does), but I can see where it could be thought of as random. I tried to make her appearance tiger-like, with the red hair and green eyes, to try and bridge the gap between random and apparent.
I agree with you that the judgmental flaw isn't a flaw because it doesn't affect others and her, thank you for pointing that out.
For the powers, I'm not trying to have her attack as summoning an animal as much as summoning (I prefer to think of it as manifesting) a part of an animal. I didn't realize this was discouraged.
I've changed the color a few times to try and make it dimmer, I'm sorry if I've hurt your eyes. I'm trying to keep the color close to an orange and it appears as though I can't do that without having it be too bright.
Thank you very much for your crit!

Thank you very much! I was unsure about whether or not to change my attacks until I read your crit. I'll just keep the powers as-is because I really like them (which sounds selfish, but I do like them). If a GM says something, I'll change it. Thanks again smile

Thank you very much for noting the broken links, as I hadn't noticed them myself.
I wasn't trying to make her all-powerful, if the power levels are too high then I'll be glad to change her attacks. Also, what I meant on the first attack was that she simply couldn't control where on the body the claw hits, not that there was a probability of friendly fire.
I'll be sure to go into more depth on the virtues and flaws, I apologize if I seemed vague at all.

Thank you everyone again for your crits, I really appreciate it! <3

AH, the WWF adopt and animal thing is awesome. I once did that with a wolf. You get newsletters about your animal every month, or every other month, as well as a picture of them. <3
