Welcome to Gaia! ::

~~~Rainey's Herd~~~

Name: Menefer
Meaning: Egyptian name meaning 'established and beautiful'
Gender: Male
Species: Laegil

Personality: Menefer is a pleaser through and through; be kind to him and he will do anything for you, likewise becoming very upset if he sees he has angered or displeased someone and doing what he can to correct it. He considers himself an exotic dancer and will dance whenever the chance presents itself. His sword though is purely for decorative purposes as a dance prop; he wouldn't know what to do if he should actually have to FIGHT with it. Despite his sword and his obviously well-toned form, he would much rather have things resolved peacefully than have fists fly and blood shed.

Likes: Dancing, attention, making people happy
Dislikes: Violence, roughness

Family: None that he knows of.

~My name is Christmas Carol
I was born on Christmas Day,
I don't know who my daddy is
And mommy's gone away.
All I want for Christmas
Is someone to take me home.....
Does anybody want
A Christmas Carol for their own?~


Name: Christmas Carol
Meaning: Based on the Christmas song of the same name
Gender: Female
Species: Gwilith

Personality: Despite being garbed in good cheer and the colors of Christmas, Carol is perceived as sad and distant, recalling the times she herself had spent without Christmas cheer. She like to see people enjoying the holiday season, but for her it is full of memories she would otherwise like to forget but finds herself dwelling on anyway. Perhaps someday she will meet a kind soul who will give her some nicer memories to go with the Christmas season.

Likes: Christmas, children, singing
Dislikes: Christmas, being lonely

Family: None but she would love one.

Name: Finnuhcai (Finn for short)
Meaning: None
Gender: Male
Species: Ista

Personality: Cold and manipulative. He knows well that he has a desirable figure, relishing the power it comes with. He doesn't hesitate to turn on the charm when it serves his purpose, but he also has no qualms about stringing people along, and does not care about any feelings he might stir up in others once he no longer has need of them. Only the small symbol on his ankle hints that there might be more to offer past those icy blue eyes, but who can say if anyone will succeed in finding it? The only thing that even hints at a more emotional side is that he spends a lot of time alone in the deep woods.

Likes: The forest, getting his way, people looking up to him (as he looks down of course)
Dislikes: Incompetence, 'clingy' females and 'boorish' males, not being in control.

Family: None

Name: Buffalo-Kin
Meaning: None
Gender: Male
Species: Ista

Personality: Passing through the world as though he is little more than a wisp of a dream vanishing in the back of someone's mind, this boy loves nothing more than a good run, and anything else in his mind just blows away like so much chaff. Stop him long enough for a chat and you'll find him sociable, but the highest intimacy you're bound to get is strictly platonic; he has no interest in finding a mate of either gender. He is also very free-spirited; the slightest inkling that he is being trapped and he'll be gone faster than a good sneeze.
Likes: Running, farms, making friends
Dislikes: People making fun of his name, feeling trapped

Family: None

Name: Aysel
Meaning: Moonlight (so named for the moonlight-like hue on his face)
Gender: Male
Species: Laegil

Personality: Ever since he became old enough to realize that he was essentially missing a parent, Aysel has been on a never-ending quest to find out about his absent father; where he went and why he left him and his mother and brother behind. He is naturally curious and eager to learn just about anything in the hopes that it might lead him to the answers he seeks. Since he oftentimes would rather be learning than playing, he is seen as a bit of a bore by others his age.
Likes: Reading, being by himself, daydreaming
Dislikes: Swimming,

Family: He has a mother Vierra and a brother whom he loves very much; unbeknownst to him, his father is Rowan Oak, a male who after a short and exciting night of Valentine's Day fun, left to wander the lands without knowing that he had aided in bringing two young colts into the world.

Album:
Baby
Child

Name: Jean
Meaning: God is gracious
Gender: Female
Species: Laegil

Personality: Unlike her mother, who is always on her guard and mistrustful in general, Jean is friendly and much quicker to socialize with anyone who happens to be traveling down the road or through the woods that she lives in. She is quite knowledgeable about plants and paths in the forest, and will happily aid anyone finding themselves lost and unsure of which plants are safe to eat. She ventures closer to the outskirts of the woods than her mother, constantly seeking a chance to speak with others her own age, having no playmates in the forest save for the occasional squirrel. While at times she feels a little stifled from her mother's constant and protective presence, it also at times gives her a strong measure of confidence, knowing someone is always close by and watching over her.
Likes: Foraging, wandering too far
Dislikes: Wintertime

Family:
Bridgette- Mother

Album:
Baby

Name: Kuronue (pronounced 'coo-row-nu-way')
Meaning: Japanese for 'black crane'
Gender: Male
Species: Aelin

Personality: Behind those large and ornate fins is an even larger ego; Kuronue believes himself to be one of a kind and radiates those feelings outward to everyone he should happen to meet. He's not particularly cruel or wicked; he just can't be bothered with people sometimes and prefers to be admired from afar like the 'rare gem' that he is. A little distance is a good thing in his case, due to the extremely poisonous spines surrounding him; one scratch is enough to make a careless Aelin or swimming Laegil freeze with paralysis and become exceedingly sick to their stomach. Lucky thing he's a firm believer in personal space. When there is nobody to impress, he does enjoy a good day of exploration, venturing into deeper, darker waters in search of new and exciting things.
Likes: Himself, showing off, himself, exploring, warm water, himself
Dislikes: His personal space being breached, overcrowding, beings with crude manners or none at all

Family: N/A
