Welcome to Gaia! ::

She was bored, but never for long. Lithium Starshine was a peppy little mare with plenty of bark and very little bite, most of it teasing nips--courtesy of the way she was raised. She might’ve been genetically a doe with faerie wings, but in her heart--in her soul--she was wolfkin. She knew of her heritage. She loved it when her momma told her the tales of her basket-hood. It was a fairytale, after all! Once upon a time, a wolf without a memory to her name had been found, saved by the local pack of sheepdogs, who adopted the lone mare as one of their own despite her wildness. They’d healed her physical wounds, and slowly the emotional ones had begun to scar over. She’d been lost--up until the point where she met a beast who ended up being her prince charming in disguise. Sigh… That story was just so beautiful!

So the wolfkin and the demon had fallen in love, completely and utterly belonging to one another…but it wasn’t enough. The mare yearned for a pack, a family to call her own and one night, under the light of the stars dotting an inky black sky, she’d prayed to the great Wishing Star, asking for a child of her own. A child that she and her mate could raise and love and care for. And a few weeks later--boom! The wolfkin stumbled across a certain cream and rainbow swirled basket, a tiny foal slumbering within the wicker chambers. Abandoned. Orphaned. But in reality, the basket had been a gift from the heavens, an innocent little filly to test the strength of Cyanide and Phosgene’s love for each other.

She loved them both, very much, even though she knew in her heart that she was made of stardust--not theirs by blood, but theirs by soul--and that was enough for Lithium. So here she was, prancing through the forest on dainty cloven hooves when she heard something, a steady clip-clop of hooves and she froze, blue eyes going wide as she peered through the woods, large ears swiveling forwards and back to pick up the sound of humming. Well whoever it was, he was cheerful… And probably not a skinwalker, but you could never be too sure. So with a little smile, she zipped down to about the size of a large butterfly and began to drunkenly flit through the air towards the sound of the stranger meandering through Stardust territory.

Her grin only grew brighter as she saw how bright he was. He was just like her! A myriad of rainbows, a delight for the eyes! She giggled, the sound buzzing at the size she was, and then fluttered towards his face. “Hi!” It would be a tiny little sound, like a bug was talking to him. Her wings beat fearlessly through the air as she did a circle around him, her energy endless, it seemed. “You aren’t from around here, are ya, pal?”

Small and fae-like, in this form she felt bubbling and happy, flitting around from spot to spot, hovering only for a bit as her gauzy wings fluttered wildly to keep her upright, to keep her from swinging upside down and making a fool of herself. She giggled, the sound high pitched and giddy as the stallion reared up--and what a magnificent display of rainbow he was! Honestly, she hadn’t been around any other guys…well, not counting her sheepdog uncles. They didn’t count. They were family and family, well… She laughed again as the stallion seemed to notice her, his baby blue eyes locking on her tiny form, and his voice… Oh, his voice was something to swoon over.

She zipped from one side to the next, each beat of her wings making her feel a little more dizzy, a little more lightheaded. He was no walker--she was safe--and when he asked her to change back, she lightly touched the ground with her cloven hooves and let the magic flit through her body, zinging around like little sparks as she grew, until she stood to sway on all four feet, blinking away the sudden rush. “Oh… Hi there…” she murmured, giggling again as her bubblegum colored hair fell into her eyes, windblown and tousled. Her own lavender eyes glanced up to meet his, almost shyly. She let her gaze linger across his rainbow pelt, the swirls and tribal designs hewn into his fur, so bright and fun. Just like her. She grinned, ears pricking forwards as the dizziness passed and she sprang into action.

She circled him, hooves soft over dirt as she circled him, pressing her muzzle up against his flank, unabashedly sniffing him. “You smell like summer. And sunshine,” she piped up, looking pleased with herself as she came up beside him, much smaller than his height. “I’m Lithium. Lithium Starshine and this is Stardust pack territory, pal.” She laughed, like little bells on the wind, a teasing note to her tone. “But don’t worry--Momma won’t eat you so long as you’re with me. I’m her favorite… Don’t tell my brother…”

Flipping her hair, she paced forwards a little bit, wings floating gently at her sides, her little cerynei tail wagging with fervor, almost canine in appearance despite her obviously deer-like traits. “And who might you be, rainbow-boy?” She looked him up and then down, all the way to the tips of his hooves. “Do you know where you’re going? Or are you like me--just out for a little adventure.” Her grin was knowing. “Because /I/ think maybe we should have a little adventure. I’m bored and you’re cute. So long as my brother doesn’t come looking for me…” She looked a little devious as she smirked at him. “He’d eat you alive. Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.” She stamped a hoof and tossed her head, spirited but innocent.
