*~Twilight's Stripes: Lycoris~*
Name: Lycoris
Nickname: Lyco or Ly
Gender: Male
Tribe: Centaur
Age: Right now...still a foal.
Personality: Fiesty, jumpy, easily frightened. Despite this, he is innocent and usually kind to others. (His personality will change as he grows.)
Likes: Daydreaming, talking to others, playing, making new friends, exploring, learning about magic
Dislikes: Being alone, being bored, trees, water, cattaurs of all kinds (with the exception of Kytrin), and heights.
Crushes: Unknown...though he has been known to blush quite a bit in front of certain female taur...(Also, a foxtaur named Poppy seems to have a crush on him.)
Dreams: To be bigger, older, and know how to do magic. Also, not to be afraid of anything/anyone. And...to be normal. (He's not too found of his stripes... >.<)
Other: First taur under Tymiko's care. Custom centaur won in a very close bumping contest at Kora's cattaur auction with over 1,000 bumps. Name means 'Twilight' due to twilight colored stripes. Since Lycoris came to Cein Isles, he was the center of attention. Riome went so far as to claim Lyco as his new son. Before I had no idea how I would play Lyco, but since then he's been getting so much attention, I felt he'd naturally want to avoid it all. First he tried to be brave/a hero. Then, when he felt he was failing at that, (through a series of events, including invoking Leila's eternal rage) he gave up hope and decided to avoid other taur altogether. There were a few older taur that helped him along the way, mostly females, and he sought his hand at magic, but failed that too. Now he's almost always depressed and anti-social, not to mention afriad of most things because he never learned to face them. He has a serious lack of self confidence, as well as being self-concious of his stripes, and that's the main source of his 'cowardice.' Since Leila, He's been increasingly wary of girls. And not just agressive ones. Wasibru is also sort of his protector. Poppy, a foxtaur cub, acted like she had a crush on Lycoris, and her owner claimed she and Lyco were a pair several times. Taku, a male wolftaur taur who doesn't exist anymore at the Cein Isles, sought Lyco's attention, and strangely enough her owner also pmed me, asking if Taku and Lycoris could get 'hooked up' when they were older. Taku and Poppy actually ended up fighting over Lycoris though rp when he was sitll an infant and they were kids. Hehe, it makes me laugh how wanted he is, and yet how unwanted he wishes he was. Paradise, Moonlight_Monkey's infant cervitaur, also now has a crush on Lycoris, and Monkey pmed me about the being a match when they grew. Wasibru has her own history with Lyco, as she was an OC of mine far before I even knew of Gaia. I think she has a crush on him, since the story goes Lyco was looked after by her herd until he was teased so much he ran away. Wasibru followed, and that's how she came to Cein Isles. She's the daughter of the cheif; she's stubborn, curious, and friendly, and so naturally, she also sought to be his friend, no matter how grumpy he was to her. At least three other taur have been after Lyco, not including Paradise, and I'm curious if there'll be more... but in the meantime, while he's still a child and too young to make up his mind about such things, I'll leave him be...I don't think I want to decide his future for him, but rather let him play it out. When he's a teen, (as foreshadowed in this comic, lol) I think he's going to be more angsty and angry at the world for staring at him and his stripes, and he's not going to want to be bothered by any girls, because to him, they'e made his life miserabe and made him feel weak since they've always been the ones he's feared and been protected by. His affection is definately a challenge to win, and probably increasingly difficult as he grows. Wasibru, though she may have a slight crush on him, would probably leave him be, being the caring centaur girl she is, because she knows Lyco resents Wasibru for protecting and teasing him all the time, as well as the sight of her reminding him of the herd that pushed him out. I think what Lyco may need is someone to protect, not to protect him. ^^; As 'weak' as he may think he is, he has great determination and will power. He only has to realize he can do anything if he sets his mind to it.
