Quote: You can't win me over. I've hardened myself against that already- I can't have people seeing anything of me. Strangers, they're all strangers. I don't dare let them see who I am. Sometimes folks declare that my total emotionless scares the wits out of them- really, I'm breaking down inside.
I won Estrelas in the "From Russia with Love" event, participating in the poetry contest. This was the winning poem. It's describing alienation, isolation, and living human again. Her original character design was an aloof, emotionless shell of a woman....... Well, not anymore. XD
At Morning
At morning I shall
Sneak into your valleys
To your little world
Where you hide from me.
Gates shall keep me not
Your guards will see nothing.
The sentries you so carefully
By your hand plucked from
Their mothers and you and placed
Around your world
May not stop me.
Day has not quite gone yet
I’m in the time between
When the loyal lark heralds the Sun
And when softly, gently
The Moon retires and slips away.
Your meadows are beautiful.
A flower sparkles
Turns into a star
In a sky of grass.
But only one.
In the semi-light
Your orchards are gold
And diamond
And ethereal
But the fruit hangs
Ready to be picked
Crisp red apples hang
With cheeks like rosy children.
Peaches, succulent, fresh,
Frosted with the touch of soft.
Even cherries, the sweet tart pulp,
Hang in your trees.
But all is quiet. The laden branches
Are not filled with birdsong.
No deer come to graze off the fruits
That did not fall.
No traveler comes
To admire the sweetness
And to beg a piece.
But in your gardens,
There are no birds.
The majestic hawk,
The tinkling bluebirds,
The innocent chickadee
Are all absent
Like me.
Estreslas, you mean stars
But you never shine
Stars are precious things
Gems rich with hidden light
Rich with hidden song
Rich within the night
But you are just the shine.
Estrelas is only your cover
Your shell, your cocoon
Where you will sleep
Away from the world
And me.
You are precious
In grace and hope
But you do not truly shine.
You do not sing.
You are not real.
Nothing.
Let me come into your gardens.
I will bring more flowers
Overflowing in abundance.
They will color you and give you cheer.
I will bring birds
To flitter around
And sing
And they will be your happiness.
Let me bring the poor traveler
Whose legs can travel no more.
He may sit by your rivers
Suckle off your orchards
Admire you
Admire your valleys
And give you hope.
And then you will live.
Like the stars.
And shine.
Like Estrelas.

About EstrelasQuote: You see, no interesting thing there. Farm farm farm. No visitor. Then Time shattered. Still no interesting. We got rabbits, though! 
Name: Estrelas Alvares
Meaning of Name: Portaguese/Spanish for "Stars," also named for her Grandmother
Physical Age: 18
Height: 5'10" She is very tall!
Weight: No women tells!
Birthdate: October 26, 1462
Date Started LOTUS: August 30, 2006 She was 16 years old
Gender: Female
Rabbit: Angel the French Rabbit
Favorite food: Pastéis de Nata (Traditional Cream Custard), Dry Cod
Birthplace: Northwest Portugal, Minho region (wasn't known by that name at the time of course.)
Family: Estrelas has a huge extended family. For the sake of convenience, only the people she is close to are listed.
Grandmother (father's side): Estrelas Alvares
Grandmother (mother's side): Theresa Dias
Father: Bartolomeu Alvares
Aunt (mother's side): Sister Maria The obligatory Crazy Aunt. She's a nun, though.
Mother: Angela Dias-Alvares
Younger Sister: Estica Alveres Six years old
Estrelas also has a few younger siblings that all died in infancy. She was only a toddler, so she never really knew them and as a result, she doesn't miss them at all.
Geneology: She can trace her roots to the early Visigot Settlers, ancestors of the modern-day Portugeuse.
Religion: Catholicism, although whether she is Catholic or not can be debated. She's religious when convenient.
Education: She is a thousand years old in her knowledge of farm life, but Estrelas is illiterate and came to LOTUS knowing almost nothing about the outside world, aside from the places she had traveled in a brief period of time. She can play the banjo well, though.
Personality: Wraith calls her "Their lovely resident-- Portuguese-- Godzilla."
She is a Portuguese timebomb with a broken clock. The question used to most accurately identify Estrelas is "What The Hell Was She Thinking?" She's a real onion- just when you thought you peeled away one layer, there's another, and she might make you cry while you're at it.
She is a person that one must see to believe. She is loud, boisterous, and bold, but very friendly and has a heart big enough for everyone. She doesn't hold grudges. Estrelas is also extremely courageous in the face of danger.
However, she is convinced that if she knows something, she knows the best about it. This normally applies to hygiene, bedding, decoration, fashion, animals, and food cooking and more food.
Estrelas was born and raised on a 15th century farm. She is the epitome of earthy pragmatism, practically, and she is an extremely sturdy young woman who rebounds easily from both emotional and physical trauma. She was born from generations and generations of good times and hardships and brings a healthy resiliency.
But she is a good person with good intentions! She does care about other people and tries to help out. Usually this ends with someone getting a stick in the eye, though.
Strengths: Estrelas isn't exactly up-to-date about the latest technology. She has a loud and obvious manner, among other problems. However, Estrelas is possessed of tremendous courage. She has a heart with enough love to pass to everyone, and she doesn't hold grudges. She also is a genuinely good person and just brims with sincerity. Her upfront manner and earthy pragmatism does not inspire much distrust or suspicion. She is also of the peasant class and acts like it.
More About: The transition from the 1400's to a world of Com-Pew-Tars and Tell-A-Vision was awkward, and it still takes some getting used to that you don't wash your clothes with ammonia anymore. She has been plunged into the world of the latest advanced technology such a two-way radios, friction matches, and Gameboy Color. And Estrelas will gobble up anything she doesn't know whether it be your bra cup size, the functions of a My-Crow-Wave, or that weird thing you tap and a letter appears on the screen. Sometimes literally. Her misadventures in the "World of the Future" has lead her to quite a lot of mishaps.
When she departed from her home in Southern Portugal, she tried to get away from what she was supposed to be and start thinking about who she wanted to be.
Her childhood was devoted to making her quiet, sweet, and obedient. She never was. Estrelas is now a fiery, passionate, and tempestuous young woman. She refuses to be chained down by anything or anyone. Including common sense. Common sense was something that happens to other people.
And even if it's not her choice (especially when it doesn't even concern her), she'll have her way one way or another.
Estrelas is a very cocky woman sometimes and is convinced that because "God is on our side" and "We are the Good Guys Right Mista Sain" that everything will turn out right for LOTUS.
History
If you ever ask Estrelas what day it is, she will answer the month, the day, and the year 1487. Cape Horn has just been, for the first time in human history, conquered, aka successfully sailed around.
Estrelas was born 17 years before that in 1470 to a poor-ish family in an adobe-brick cottage-thing. Hereducation consisted homekeeping, cooking, and gardening and all "womanly" chores to be done. She is illiterate. But who needs reading when you can stop a stampeding bull with a loud "Quit That You Idiot!"
However, Estrelas was one who deviated from the norm. She had heard one too many tales of daring, dashing heroes riding off into the sunset.
And she wanted that for herself.
Action. Excitement. Drama. Adventure. Maybe even a little romance.
But no! That wasn't a life for a farmgirl. Estrelas saw her life stretching out in front of her. She had no qualms against settling down and farming until she dropped, but she wanted to see what was Out There first.
A few factors contributed to her ability to leave her village. One was the lack of marriageable boys within the community. Another was the fact that she had already traveled from than ten miles away from home before, to visit her Auntie Maria at the convent. Lastly, time had split. Her village was spectacularly unaffected... But when news of strange passenger-carrying ships reached her ears, Estrelas saw the chance in front of her.
At age 16, she had accumulated enough through little jobs and selling produce to run off and leave a message with the local merchant: Caros mama e papa, Sorry, I've run off... For a year or two. I'll be right back. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Love, your obedient daughter, Estrelas
And that was it.
Estrelas literally hitch-hiked her way to Lisbon with her dowry, spare clothing set, jewelry, a crate full of chickens, and her other earthly possessions strapped to her back and Angel on her lap.
And it was an adventure.
She did once get involved with pirates and sailed for a few months around the Caribbean, lived in South Carolina in an escaped slave community, traveled to Lisbon, holed up with fugitive nuns for a while, attempted to stowaway once but was kicked off, and then she met up with a LOTUS representative.
However, there's a problem: a 15th century girl from Portugal runs off into the world...
And gets into involved in a picture bigger than her own imagination.
Welcome to LOTUS.

About Angel 
Name: Angel
Name Meaning: English for Angelle
Breed: Blanc de Bouscat and something else...
Origins: During the time collapse, a crate of Mosieur Enjolras' Fine Rabbit Breeds Blanc de Bouscats from the year 2050 suddenly smacked down in the middle of 15th century Portugal. Extremely large, used to humans, unscrupolous, and smart, they fit right in with the farms. A few have been trained to guard farm animals such as chickens and sheep against predators and stray dogs.
Appearance: Overall, she fits in with the Blanc de Bouscat breed appearance, aside from the fact she's much larger than the normal rabbit of the 21st century. She has beautiful medium-length creamy-white fur and large liquid pink eyes.
Size: Very Large
Weight: 16 lbs
Birthplace: The meadow around Estrelas's family farm, NW Portugal
Personality: Angel overall is sixteen pounds of unspayed female rabbit. She is much like Estrelas in her temperament, but is much harder to mollify with compliments and bribes. She's a very unflighty rabbit and has been known to stand her ground against predators on the farm, such as foxes and hawks. Like Estrelas, Angel is extraordinarily loud, utilizing a variety of grunts, snarls, snorts, and snores for her own purposes.
More About... Angel is intolerant of all male LOTUS members and has wrecked havoc on many a pair of pants.
Angel is...
-Fearless
-House-trained
-Immensely, immensely strong
-Aggressive
-Unspayed
A note on rabbit breeds of the futures...
As Angel clearly exemplifies, domestic rabbits of the future are quite different from the wild rabbit, ie. the shy cottontail. Due to selective breeding, many breeds of rabbits show a much greater variation in size and temperament. They have undergone a sort of sped-up evolution, losing a few of their natural instincts such as fear of certain human things like fire, larger animals, or loud noises, along with inheriting a much longer, healthier life than their past counterparts. In fact, the French military is conducting research on the use of larger rabbit breeds to neutralize enemy dogs and other large animals. Due to their increased intelligence, power, self-control, and extreme loyalty, they are gaining popularity over cats and dogs as household pets.

About Portugal Quote: Portugal is my home. Or at least the closest I can get to a home. I miss her, with her wide earthy fertile valleys, tropical sunshine and golden warmth. Yet why do I keep on wanting to stay away, as far away as I can, from my homeland?

Timeline Quote: What is time now, that there is no time? To us, time never existed in the first place. Time's just a convenient way to measure our silly human things. When I was a farmer's girl, time was Spring Planting, Summer Work, Autumn Harvest, and Winter Suffering. Aboard the pirate ship, time was the hiatus between raids and selling illegal goods. Now time is the little round thing that goes tick-tick-tick and will only stop if you hit it hard enough with another thing they call "Computer Monitor."

Relationships
Wraith: The leader of LOTUS. Interesting man, in control of situations. He's very dependable but not enough fun! I have to hide chicken from him.
Shee: Ooo, she no eat meat, but she very nice! First met her during trip to Ireland- she was sick then, but she all better now, you see!
Eponine: WE BESTEST FRIENDS! Best Friends! We stick together! My first best friend ever! Very kind, interesting woman. Nice to have a human friend, actually. She always wears the same tattered clothes! (But then again, so do I...) Oh, I wish she would let me stitch up that coat of hers, what if she gets cold...
She's flighty, very nervous woman. I learned she's from France, definitely from the future! She said something about the French Revolution... France, no wonder she is so unconsciously elegant- in my eyes at least. Is Eponine royalty? I think she is. She explained that France wasn't all that shining and wealthy- I never would have guessed.... Anyways, she seems a bit enchanted by Angel. But that is only natural. Everyone loves rabbits.
Archer: Ohhhh, Archer is Cool Man! He know a lot of things, you see, and I think he knows what to do in every situation. And he learn to speak Portuguese so he talk Portuguese! What a gentleman. HE SO COOL HE FIGHT EVIL!!! He's an elegant young man, proper and all that. I'm surprised- instead of spitting down "Dirty Farmers," he seems to respect an importance for agriculture! Archer is a very charming person, he makes one feel special and unique... Even if I'm just a common farmgirl.
Samantha: She's from a place called "Ah-ma-ri-ka." I've never heard of it! She's so shy and so sweet- very very nice girl. She's different shy than Eponine. She wears strange plastico things over her eyes. She and Angel get along well. That's a relief- she seems to like rabbits, but I recall that she likes dogs, like the.. German Shephard. Which I gathered is not from Germany but is called that anyways.
Aletta: Very cheerful girl, very pretty and energetic. I enjoy her company- she's a very nice lady. I was suspicious at first, because I always thought the Roma Gypsies had pasty skin, did witchcraft, and ate babies, but she doesn't seem any of it!
Faustus: Angel doesn't like him. But then again, she don't like Wraith Sain or Archer much either. Maybe it's just the men. Hmmmm. I think he a very nice person. He's a polite young man, from Germany- I've heard of that place before. That's where German sausages come from... Right?
Johannes: When he came, I thought he was God on Judgement Day at first. But that's a long story. He nice to me and talk nice, and he has adorable little sister named Esperanza! He talk fun too.
Rodney: He's a very twitchy boy who laughs very nicely. He's very friendly and comes from a place called Canananda. But he always ready for anything!
Menefer: He is a such a scared young man! Who could EVER be scared of a little angel like Angel?
Lokiari:
Mokoyis: Mokoyis so nice! I get her for Valentine Day, and at first I thought we supposed to marry which strange because she no man, but she nice and she give me beautiful necklace! She's from a far-away place that sounds like Mista Rodney's Cananananda, but she is not a Canananadian but a Native. But Mokoyis talks to animals and likes Angel! And Angel agrees with her. But she should not talk to coyotes. That's unhealthy. They never say anything interesting anyways.
Lai: Ooo, he so quiet I barely know nothing about him! He come from cold place called Rah-sha, but he quiet and seem to be friend with strange man Einar.
Sebastien: I find out his name! He pretend to be all nice and happy to Epaninny, and I say to Epaninny, that nice fellow, you talk to him, but he no nice! I HATE HIM!
Hyo: New person! She quiet girl, but she try attack Vackum Cleaner! She afraid of demon, I think!

Interesting Quotes Shane A male, well thank god for small mercies, Shane was all about enjoying the female... presence, but god did they need some more testastarone around these parts. Eponine
As Eponine rounded the corner and found herself in the training facility, her mechanical heart nearly jumped out of her chest at the sight of so many humans. What were they all doing here? Was there a human magnet somewhere around?
Archer "My name is Archer" he stated bowing to Aletta, "and it is to my extreame pleasure to make your aquaintance. Please for give my rudeness for not taking your hand, but I am hot and sweaty not fit to touch one of the fairer sex." Estrelas She pointed to the ceiling. "Nice lights, are they?" Estrelas Estelas stopped and nearly held her hands up in an "I'm Unarmed" gesture.... Unforunately, she was holding Angel... So she held the rabbit up as a gesture of friendship. ..Le Chat du Noir.. "Sah, I hope you dunnit mind sah, but if it's cursed...." Estrelas looked incredulous. "Many things were carsed at my village, paple (people) from faaa-away nevar listened and they came out mad or worse," she said, but then flushed at how cowardly her words sounded to her. "I for one am not superstitious," she declared defiantly, fishing out lots of various artifacts and amulets, charms, and the such out of her deep pockets. "I'm definitely not superstitious," she added. "But I'm convinced that these will help. I have mistletoe.... Just in case...... Monkey's Paw, silver crosses, a few minature Holy Bibles...." She frowned as she held up a sandlewood carving of Jesus Christ on the cross.... Or what was half of it anyways. The bottom was completely chewed off by what seemed like the teeth of a large rabbit. "Sacrilege!" she exclaimed. " Merda... Angel must have gotten to these..." She dumped out her pockets' contents, what seemed like a square gallon of various charms and herbs and plants out and held them out to the others as if as an offering. "Here, take some, we'll probably need it." Archer Archer looked over at the pile of ashes that the library had become. He whistled in amazement. "Must have taken a large fire to do that sir." he commented. "So i suppose mister chekhov wants us to lay the blame on someone then?" Wraith Sian Sorry, entertaining little girls again. I'm the unofficial babysitter, and while I love kids, I haven't had a week to myself, and it's driving me insane and making me mean and snappy. Shee Sian "Did I hear something about food?" Shee had returned, balancing three glasses. Handing two to the French couple and keeping the last for herself, she smiled at Laurel and Moira. At least they were talking more, albeit about food and not about things that were too useful to Lotus. Unless this food thing had a hidden angle she wasn't seeing... Eponine
After a while, she realized she should probably say something. "Ah, it feels so good to get out of that costume." She offered a friendly smile to Shee, still in her ghost disguise. "You humans have the weirdest customs!"Jyoti Kiarna -reads Estrelas post in event- o.o XDDDDDD!
Estrelas + Eponine = SHEER INSANITY.Shee Sian "I imagine it would. It seemed... itchy." Wait. Did Eponine just say you humans? Estrelas "Ah Lord, ahre those marshiemallows?" she asked happily. "Ah heard that ya... Impale them on tree branches and light the tree on fire to roast them. Can they be eaten raw?" she asked. Eponine Eponine smiled at Shee, hoping to elict one back. She'd heard that in humans, smiles were contagious. Or was that laughter? Or vomiting? Something like that... Eponine Estrelas The moment Estrelas noted that Aislynn noticed them staring, she did something very Eponine-like. "Bene' Papou!" she exclaimed and leapt up- again. "'Ponine, Ah believe she notices us..." She discreetly tried to hide behind Eponine but didn't succeed. Instead, she peevishly looked at Aislynn
"What? Where?" Eponine tried to not so discreetly run around behind Estrelas, trying to pull her around as a shield. "Don't let the monster eat me!" she wailed, cowering down behind her friend.
Eponine What, Estrelas was still thinking of using the donkeys? Eponine had a sudden vision of chibified Estrelas in her peasant clothes, taking on the evils of the world on the back of a donkey. (Rudolph?!) Aletta "My dancing feet brought me here." Estrelas "Ah have bought a present for our friends," she whispered softly, secretively. Her brown-hazel eyes glimmered; clearly she was proud of herself. "Ah have bought gifts, technology that even you, Mista Sain, have never seen nor heard of." She studied the tiny rectangle she held in her hands. "Meez Aletta, Mista Sain, I ask of you not to scream, nor make any sudden motions, but if you do, I will not blame you, for when I first saw what this could do, I took up my Holy Bible and hit it as many times as I could. I am sure that the Gypsies will believe it to be magic, and us magicians... It will be a very valuable bargaining tool. This is a very valuable piece of technology, science as you say... Prepare to be amazed.." Estrelas whispered softly, and with a quick motion, flipped the box open, grabbed something in it with her fingertips, and ran it along the side of the box. A small flame alighted. Estrelas held it up for Aletta and Wraith to see, her eyes glowing proudly and waiting for their stunned reactions. "They call these fire-bringers 'Matches.'" Jyoti Just to clarify, you can RP without artwork! You can RP without a journal! You can RP without pants! Johannes While eating, something caught his eye: a flying ad. No, not an ad that actually flies. An ad about airplanes. Loki Saimar Not really too much testosterone...more like enmity between the countries. xD;;
It'd be the same with a Norwegian and a Dutch. Never call a Norwegian a Dutch, or a Dutch a Norwegian -- and never confuse the languages. Though they can usually talk to one another just fine, even if they speak in their own language, they have a great dislike for one another. (Which is amusing. xD;; )
Best way I can put it, is a joke I was told by a guy in the Air Force. He was here from Scotland, and we were doing a mass casualty drill at the hospital. He was one of the "injured". My moronic co-worker said, nonchalantly, "So, what happened to you?" The guy gave this mischievous grin and said, "Oh, I ran into an Englishman is all."
I busted out laughing, she said, "Oh. Why would that end up like this?" as she gestured at his "gunshot wounds". Which made him laugh and almost fall of the stretcher. It got bad enough that we actually had to stop moving him, because he and I were laughing so hard as he tried to explain it. xD An Irishman standing nearby joined in the laughter and added, "Aye, or maybe he ran into me at a pub!" And then we were all nearly rolling on the ground laughing while she stared at us like we were crazy and everyone else was like, "Uh...mass casualty drill, remember?"
Good times, good times. xD Jyoti Of course not. It's always been Shee and Wraith's secret dream to dress up as detachable hamburger halves. Jyoti Shee had been staring, wide-eyed, at the abomination of events that had unfolded in front of her, both hands clenched into fists. This was not... what was supposed to happen! What happened to the fairy-tale night she had imagined? It had been hijacked by a giant fast food product and a highly excitable little unicorn, apparently."

Estrelas's Accent and Pronounciations Estrelas' Portugese accent may be hard to understand at times. To ensure authenticity and vibrancy in role plays, Estrelas always speaks with enough of an accent. I try my best to have an enriching accent, not an interfering wad of misspellings.

Jyoti Just to clarify, you can RP without artwork! You can RP without a journal! You can RP without pants!
Estrelas is always open for RP, most likely I'll love to RP with you!
I'll prefer literate RPing. I'm advanced Literate.
If you want a private RP, just ask- PM, post, chat in the thread, whatever!
And if you starts an Open RP, you'll most likely see Estrelas there.
