Welcome to Gaia! ::

Name: Etoile

Nicknames: Ilse calls her "cat", but then that's what she calls any guardian cat.

Breed: Blue Somali

Attached to: Teccccccchnically nobody, but she hangs out at Ilse/Deneb's place enough to where it might be thought she's Ilse's cat (to which Ilse says "no", and throws Etoile out once more.)

Alignment: Senshi

Blood Type: A

Fav. Food: Anything sweet and minty. She'll eat the candy canes right off your Christmas tree when you aren't looking. Or maybe while you are. She'll also gleefully eat mint candies right out of the dish, or bag, whichever comes first.

Etoile also has no qualms about devouring gingerbread houses. Basically, she enjoys a lot of holiday candy... and she's a glutton in general.

Hated Food: Saltwater taffy. It's too hard to chew. And not sweet enough.

Hobbies:

Channel Surfing -- Etoile loves watching TV, and probably spends a good amount of time parked in front of a television set, paw on the remote. Of course, as to whether anything interesting is on is another story, but Etoile generally tends to favor watching the Home Shopping Network and spanish soap operas, with a dash of reality shows on the side. If cats could use credit cards (or if Etoile could find Ilse's), Etoile would probably have purchased a lot of things off the HSN by now.

Stargazing -- Named for the stars, it seems only fitting that Etoile took an interest in watching the night sky. On nights where it's clear and the weather is nice, Etoile likes to lounge outdoors and count the stars, or just daydream in general.

Bugging Ilse -- This one's a full-time job. Ilse does not like cats named Etoile. Etoile gets a kick out of pushing Ilse's buttons in return (in Ilse's opinion). It's a bit of a love/hate relationship between the two, as Etoile feels Ilse needs to lighten up a little, while Ilse thinks Etoile needs to make a one-way trip to the pound. It's a futile effort on Etoile's part, but her ultimate goal is to make Ilse laugh... and not in that "dohoho you silly commoners" sort of way.

Virtues:

supportive -- Etoile is always willing to be your personal cheerleader, cheering you on when needed and giving out (fairly misguided) advice. She's not necessarily going to be someone's crying shoulder, being cat-sized and all, but Etoile has no problems with listening to your woes; if there's pettings and treats involved, it's an added bonus!

Optimistic -- Etoile likes looking on the brighter side of things, always believing in that rainbow after the storm. She maintains a positive outlook on the future, no matter how bleak things may seem, and it's difficult to dissuade her from this. Even if things do go wrong (as they tend to do), Etoile believes positive thinking is the key to success, rather than to expect the worst. At the end of the day, you're still alive, and that's what matters most, isn't it?

I'll try anything once! -- Etoile doesn't fear much (except for maybe cancellation of her favorite shows). She considers herself to be willing to try anything and everything, without backing down, and doesn't think of herself as being particularly picky about things, either. It's possibly stupidity more than it is bravery, but Etoile nevertheless remains undaunted in the face of danger.

honesty is the best policy -- Etoile is more than happy to tell the truth, whether it be bad or good, or incriminating against herself. She sees no reason to lie, and thinks honesty is the way to go, makes for a healthy relationship, etc. This is a two-way street, though- if shes honest, she expects everyone else to be honest as well, which doesn't necessarily always work out.

Flaws:

shameless -- Etoile generally doesn't feel much remorse for her actions, and tends to wonder why people get so worked up over, in her opinion, the little things. Items can be replaced, after all, a belief Etoile holds no matter what the value of something was. Nothing is truly 'priceless', is it? This doesn't just hold to her daily clashes with Ilse; either, the little cat really doesn't understand why people have a tendency to get (reasonably) angry with her for her actions.

priorities what priorities -- To say Etoile has mixed priorities is something of an understatement. To say Etoile has a strange idea as to what constitutes an urgent matter is probably more accurate. A youma/nega/dmc attack is certainly a bad thing that should be taken care of, sure! At the same time, they're about to reveal who America's Next Top Model is! Can it wait.

common sense not included -- Being fearless does not necessarily imply intelligence. Many times, Etoile does not know that it's better to quit while she's ahead, lest she wants, say, someone to turn the hose on her. She lacks common sense most of the time, and has a tendency to leap first, think about the consequences later. Possibly by virtue of being a Guardian Cat, or just plain dumb luck, she's managed to get this far in life without getting into major trouble.

overeager -- Etoile has to be a part of everything. Everything. It doesn't matter if she knows anything about the matter at hand- she wants to be right there in the middle of the action, ready to help out! While she means well, the little cat is a burden more than a help, and she only serves to get in the way of any actual help more than anything else.

Challenge: Sparkle like a star! (alt: Salut, enchante!)

Face/Ears: A pointed face, with large ears

Hair: Blueish silver, poofy annnnd style is something like this and this

Face: A mostly oval-shaped face, pale skin tone, with a light scattering of freckles across both cheeks

Clothes: Something like this! With a cape/cloak like a RO hwiz's, but fluffier and with a yellow ribbon on the front with a star in the middle c: Alternatively, something that matches Deneb's fuku, aha

Thank you heart I've always liked the idea of Ilse having her own personal guardian cat to be a daily source of headaches
