INFORMATION[ ? ] name - Kidd
[ ? ] nickname - Goat
[ ? ] gender - Male
[ ? ] age - 11, roundabout
[ ? ] occupation - Street Urchin
[ ? ] location - Western Palisade
[ ? ] homeland - Sunderland
[ ? ] appearance - Tall and spindly and almost awkward on his feet, Kidd is often mistaken for older than he is, but he's proud of his age and quick to say so. Otherwise, he's not the cleanest of folk, living on the street doesn't afford that luxury, but he bathes when he can. His hair is a bit longer, greasy, uneven, and left to hang free around his face. With rounded eyes and a larger nose to boot, he almost shares a vague similarity with the animal origin of his nickname. PERSONALITYA free spirit and an easy laugher, Kidd is friendly and not afraid to show it. He'll go out of his way to help if he can, but only for those he deems deserve it. Despite his street urchin status, he's not as good as his fellow orphans at fending for himself or stealing, rather unfortunate, but he can be more than clumsy. Most of the time it's the others or his guardian, Gazelle, doing the work to keep him fed, but he does what he can when he can. If nothing else he's a great distraction.
Kidd is easily star-struck and just as easily distracted in his own right, getting attached with a quickness to new and exciting things. Still, he holds the greatest attachment for his street family and would do most anything for them as he feels they would for him. Real trust and real connections only come with time, and often those sudden attachments are short-lived, leaving him largely unbothered when they end.
Though he has no parents he remembers and grew up surrounded by fellow children in the only family he's ever known, he is somewhat entranced with the idea of adulthood. Grownups can do whatever they want in his eyes, from having the best jobs that are actually fun to making up the rules or blatantly ignoring them. Even he if too has few rules by which he truly abides, a benefit that comes with orphanhood, he still feels trapped in a way by his own limitations. Though he doesn't yearn to grow up, not yet, he does find himself sometimes attempting to inject into the lives of adults in search of a whiff of that freedom he adores (no one in the group can ever know, he imagines with a sickness in his stomach how much hell Gabe would give him if they did).
Due to his nature, he often gets himself in over his head with things he doesn't have the capacity to understand and while he's not easily overwhelmed, he does at times get scared and bolt when things start to get too heavy. He always comes scuffling back, though, if that thing really matters, even if there are only a few things that do. Kidd can be a go-getter like that.
The origin of his name is a bit of a funny one. For a while he was actually without, unable to actually remember what it used to be, so finally he decided to make up his own. Many of the adults in Palisade went about calling him 'kid' whenever they chased him away, so he claimed it as his own, sticking an extra 'd' on there to make it more like a real name. He's pretty proud of himself for it.
His nickname, like his actual name, originates from the fact that children sure are imaginative. Some of the others started calling him that after he found a name for himself, because 'kid' is another name for a young goat, coupled with the fact that he named his guardian after a hoofed animal, a gazelle.
[ + ] likes - His orphan gang; Gazelle; Blankets; Bread and sweets; Carrots; Feeding the birds; Juice; NEW THINGS; ADVENTURE
[ - ] dislikes - Loneliness; Being told what to do; Snow and rain when he needs new shoes; Veggies (except carrots); Getting into scraps he can't win HISTORYUnfortunately, there isn't much to tell. Kidd has been on the street since a young age, around five or six most likely if you asked the neighbors, but he himself doesn't remember anything about his previous life. The stories you'd hear on it vary, but many have said his parents were killed in a small, but difficult to contain fire at the factory they both worked for. Since that day, Kidd was alone.
He lived only with the help of others like himself, orphans who had already learned the ways of the streets. Largely detached at first, he only 'settled down' when he found a home among Gabriel's gang. Since then he's been working his hardest at becoming a better street urchin, but for a most part he's still a little bad at it.
This time, though, he has what he considers a permanent family in the other kids and Gazelle.

 INFORMATION[ ? ] name - Gazelle
[ ? ] gender - Female
[ ? ] ooc stage - Doe
[ ? ] ic stage - Doe PERSONALITYA wise, caring doe, Gazelle is much like a mother to her chosen. She often worries that without her, he'll end up dead in a ditch somewhere, so it's very rare to find one without the other. A thinker, she keeps a cool head in nearly any situation, preferring to stand back and make sure it's safe far before running in and causing trouble. Of course, she's more than equipped to fight, if the need were to arise.
Very patient in temper, she deals quite well with Kidd's rambunctious streaks and seems to have no problem handling the other children in his gang, as well. It takes a lot to ruffle her, but too much nonsense can sometimes set her on edge. She's not afraid to put a hoof down when it's needed.
To other guardians, she is often friendly and light. It's never bad to network, just in case Kidd found it in him to wander off somewhere without her. However, her patience with childish grown guardians (likewise with childish grown humans) is a little thinner than it is with actual children.
[ + ] likes - Kidd; The other orphans; Fragrant flowers; Sunbathing; Running; Nipping at heels
[ - ] dislikes - Things getting out of hand; Her authority being ignored
