 Allo, welcome to the journal of Shi Xianggu, a child from the Ikaji breedables shop. Names Gabs, I'm the care taker of this journal and just about as sweet as sugar and spice (...when I'm not on my period). Anyway, below are the standard set of rules I use for any breedables journal I keep care of. Please read and follow them...for all our sanities sake.
I I haven't listed that many rules, every one here seems to know them already. Lets keep it this way, I don't want to have to add more rules to this post. D:
- Follow all Gaia ToS and Ikaji rules, please-
- Do not post in this thread with out my permission, it's very rude. If you wish to post here, have questions, or wish to give me something, please PM me first :3 -
-No stealing. This means any of my writing as an author, banners, other peoples art work or gifts, etc.-

 The year was a time when the leaves of the trees stood out crimson and orange against a chill background of purple mountains. When mists covering the evening ground snaked their way through the small and sleepy villages of the valley and the gold of the harvest moon illuminated the world. This year, unlike so many others, had been harsh on the people. Instead of bounty, the land had given disease and destruction. Chaos was law, long ago had the people fallen to their own ways. Lords ruled over their province as they saw fit. Too often it came to be just were punished, and the wicked set free. Those traveling abroad would do well to simply stay in their own village, for the customs of one village were not the same as the next and it was easy to be thrown in jail, or loose ones head.
Yet this disorganization could not go on forever and the lords of the land rose up, each vowing that he would unite the other according to his customs and laws, so that the people may live in peace under one ruler. Roaming the land, they searched for young warriors eager to prove themselves in battle. Each lord trying to tempt the young with offers of riches, glory and honor to come when the battle was won...but only one faction could win. Among these lords, their lived one whom was favored in the outcome above the rest. In his far off snowy Kingdome in the mountains he reigned. He was a kind, wise man, a proud ruler and father, loved and respected by his citizens and above all else honored by them. His name was Liáo Zhenbang.
Now Liáo Zhenbang had many wives and many children, but of all his children his favorite by far was Shi Xianggu. Born as a girl and to the third wife of Liáo Zhenbang, it seemed as if Shi Xianggu would never amount to anything, only the sixth child of a third whore. The girl however was not to be kept down, "It is her Zodiac," her father proclaimed one night, as Shi Xianguu displayed to the court her fierce temper, shaming her mother in public. "Shi Xianggu, fierce and independent, like the tiger she can not be tamed," he chuckled, as he sipped upon more sweet flowery wine, "But be carefully my little tiger," Zhenbang warned "It is good to be fierce in spirit, but never forget your place in life, never forget your duty as a woman. Honor your poor mother and father, heed these words well little one, for they are what turn the seasons and move all time. They are as important and finite as death itself." But Shi Xianggu would not listen to her fathers advice.
Every day the girl grew lovelier and her spirit stronger. From such a shamed birth, came a most amazing woman. But Shi Xianggu was different than the other women of the court, where her sisters and half sisters were content to lay about, practicing all the womanly virtues of the home, Shi Xianggu would visit the soilders and other men of the court. "Teach me..." she would beg, the girl of dark hair and pale skin whom wanted to know of everything; of virtue and combat, of philosophy and religion. Always though she was scolded, "Shi Xianggu. Why do you ask such things? It is not proper for a woman to have such interests." Such an embarrassment Shi Xianggu became to her family that it was time for her to marry marry, no man would take her as his wife.
And now in fall, as the first leaf of autumn touched the sleepy forest floor, so did the first drop of blood fall to the ground.
***
"Shi Xianggu! Get back here!" came the trembling and worried voice of her mother. "Where do you think you are going dressed in a warriors clothes? Have not already shamed me enough? Have you not already brought a plague of disgrace to your family and father?"
The tall girl with burning black hair whom was making her way down the hall stopped dead still. A breeze through the open window flew in and tugged at one of the extrodinary tassels of her armor. Shame? Disgrace? These words were empty, meaningless and stupid. Yes, these are stupid words, thought little Shi Xianggu. For why did it matter if she did what customary when her father and fellow country men were out on the battle field dying? What would custom matter if her father didn't win? What good is tradition, when there is no home to practice it in?
With a turn of her head, Shi Xianggu locked a venomous eye upon her mother, the helpless snake that she was. "Why waist your words upon deaf ears? For none dead in their cold stone graves can hear your pious words. More pertinent it would be of you, to spend your wasted breath on tending the wounded down in the fields." Now did the meager lady dressed in her robes of white silk flinch at her daughters words, but rather she would speak up a than see her one and only child burn in the eternal flames of hell. Bowing down low, so that her dark locks spread out across the amber wood of the floor, the tired and old woman once again tried to beg her daughter to see the light. All her life Shi Xianggu had been let off easy by her father, by her elder sisters, by the members of the court, everyone ignored the one person whom truly had say over the child. Everyday Shi Xianngu's mother had prayed for her daughters understanding, prayed that she may see the wrongs she had committed and prayed that she may learn her place, before taught the hard way.
"Shi Xianggu...my strong cub," came the cracking voice, "How many times must I remind you of your woman’s body? In spirit you were born a man, this is true, but your form is that of the pear blossom, beautiful and feminine. A woman does not serve her country in the same way a man should. Taking care of the home and offering sacraments to our ancestors whom now watch over us; this is the way we are of most use to your father and our country. It was shameful enough that you igonre the teachings of your mother and father; charading about in your solders clothes. But now, now you have gone too far, turning your back on your ancestors. Shi Xianggu my little tiger, if you do not repent, there is no saving you. Come my daughter, your place is here with the woman and children, attending the shrine and praying for good fortune.
The reply from her daughter was swift and merciless. At her hips, Shi Xianggu unsheathed her sword. Small feet pattered across the floor, while at the same time to pale arms raised to strike. At first, the young woman made to hit her mother, but the blow ran wide and the sound of wood shattering was heard as Shi Xianggu's blade hit the family ancestral shire. Next her blade tasted the flames of the candles lining about the room, piece by piece she destroyed all in sight, until all that was left was the sniveling woman upon the floor. What a miserable creature her mother was. Down came the blade one last time--but it's mark was cut short. Perhaps it was the young woman could not do it or perhaps it was the sound of the horn in the distance, calling the troops together, either way Shi Xianggu spared her mothers life and departed from the castle evermore.
Down, down the mountain she rode, to the valleys below, where the colors of fall streamed across the horizon like paint on a canvas. A brave and warm welcoming the young girl thought she would receive; here to help her country. Alas, when she arrived upon a vacant field of bodies and distant screams, the only welcoming she received was from that of the carrion birds high above in the sky. It was all so different from how the princess had envisioned it to be--the vacant stare of dead eyes, in place of the vivid living ones she had watched depart at the gate. Yet ahead Shi Xianggu walked though each step through the slaughter brought greater fear with in her heart. From the dead, she came upon the living...the few that managed to survive now huddled together, their moans echoing into the icy air. In her chest, Shi Xianggu felt her heart falter and the girl now knew she was afraid.
No...no warrior was she. It was even with trembling hands she drew her sword making her way to enter battle. Her whole life, she had practiced the art of weaponry, fought along side with the boys of the court, but stabbing at straw and digging ones sword into another mans chest are so different. The feeling of each is incomparable to the other. The chaos was now all around her...everywhere Shi Xianggu's pale face turned did fighting meet her gaze. Fingers now one at time curled from the hilt of the immaculate weapon in her hands.
Shi Xianggu, queen of all fools! Of her mother and her, who was the wiser now? The fierce tiger could simply not do it, she could not fight and frightened Shi Xianggu turned to run. Yet, fate would have no escape for the princess. Swift and sure from the heavens came a shower of arrows, each one aimed towards the heart of an unsuspecting warrior. Poor young Shi Xianggu, there was no escape for the girl, no matter how fast her feet carried her from the ravishing storm.
***
And thus Shi Xianggu died, not as an honored woman or a warrior, but as a coward, with an arrow in her back.

Name- Naito (True name: Maria Accero )
Pronunciation- Nah-e-toe
Gender- Female
Age- Ninteen this year, congratulations to her! Legal in the U.S.A. gotta love it folks. DX
Hair- Light blonde and always pulled back into a pony tail, with a ribbon. Bangs are parted in the center to either side with two strands of hair coming down along either side.
Eyes- Blue
Height- 5"7'
Weight- Undisclosed
Build- ...HO SNAP WOULD YOU LOOK AT THAT FINE PIECE OF a**. *Cough-wtf-Mary-sue-chara-wtf-cough* But no...>> Naito's a pretty normal girl, just a little bit bigger in the chest area. D< *Shot*
Personality- Naito is...a bit nutty and not in the good way. Sure, she can be sweet and amusing, but in the long run she ends up doing more damage than good. This is probably due to her changes in personality. No she doesn't have MPD, though you could think of it in that manner. Let's just say that sometimes government testing can lead to horrible monstrosities, Naito is a perfect example of this. Her hobbies include writing conspiracy theories, baking horrible sugary things and dancing naked in front of the bathroom mirror.
Appearance- Naito is the type of person who enjoys being clever with her outfits (...in a wild sort of way, that in the end just looks bad >_>). Often times a combination of colorful scarves, skirts, and mismatched leggings, along with a good pair of a** kicking black boots, the woman is ready for any occasion. Yet her favorite item of apparel and the one she is seen most often in is a (mint green) shirt reading: "HTRM <3" across the front, complete with little octopus in the corner. As for bottoms, Naito is a sucker for skirts. Her favorite skirt is a dark purple pleated one she rummaged out of a garbage can. It's amazing with people will throw away, no? A little short, her skirt barely reaches her middle thigh. This is why (for decency’s sake) she wears a pair of black tight leggings underneath. As for any girl, jewelry is a must, the same goes for Naito who's favorite choice in accessory is a simple pair of mis-matched earings.

:l Elders l:
Yahto-The second and eldest adult member with in the house, Yahto is a seemingly odd drifter who has lived with Naito for a very long time. No body quite knows what his relationship to her is, nor why the blonde continues to keep him around. Tolerable enough, Yahto watches out for Naito and her family. Their relationship, all though loving, is not romantic.
Raja-Life long friend and dear companion to Naito, the two are like peanut butter and jelly, you can't have one with out the other. Naito and Raja's history goes way back when before the pair came to gaia. Together, Raja and Naito helped each other build a life and besides friendship the two share quite the little "family". Raja may not live with Naito, but they certainly see each other a lot. Without Raja, Naito would be lost and much of the time relies upon the feline to help her take care of the children.
Tsuki- Tsuki showed up a couple of months after Paxton's [Shi's eldes brother] eighth birthday. Nobody really knows much about him except that Naito adores him. Tsuki, a demon reborn, has the personality of a sour lemon, enjoys keeping to himself and has the tendency to disappear for months on end with no word. All in all, the younger member of the household try to avoid him, as Naito put it, "He's not the type of person you want to find yourself with, when your going down along a dark alley."
Berakui-Kui is another recent addition to Naito's ever growing family. The product of Raja's Halla and Naito's Yahto, Berakui, or Kui for short, is a sly and crafty member. Equipped with both the abilities of illusion and seduction, he can be very evil when he wishes to. However, he seems to carry more of a soft spot in his heart than his father. No longer living in Naito's house, Berakui will occasionally stop by to keep in touch.
:l Respected l:
Amou Tsukasa- The face of an angle~ its better not to ask how such a sweet and kind person ended up in Naito's hell hole. Yet, Tsukasa doesn't seem to mind his living arrangements. Helping out with various family activities and chores, Tsukasa never complains and always does his work with a smile on his face.
Paxton- Perhaps not Natio's "favorite" son, he his definitely her first child. Paxton, a cheerful, rambunctious, "trouble maker", is not the most helpful family member, but he definitely tries his hardest. Knowing that his mother is sometimes, erm, "not all there" he keeps an eye out on his pseudo siblings and enjoys taking care of them.
:l Equals l:
Akamu-It's a red panda! No...it's a dog, that looks like a red panda. A Pandug? Well, what ever he is, the family loves him. Found one day by Paxton, the lovebird brought him home and from there Akmu worked his way into the role of family pet.

l The Siberian Tiger l::
The Siberian Tiger (Panthera tigris altaica) is a rare subspecies of tiger. Also known as the North China Tiger, Manchurian, Amur or Korean Tiger, it is the largest and one of the most powerful naturally occurring felines in the family Felidae.
The Siberian Tiger is critically endangered. In the early 1900s, it lived throughout the northeastern China, Korean Peninsula, northeastern Mongolia and southeastern Russia. Today, it has virtually disappeared from South Korea and is largely confined to a very small part of Russia's southern Far East (the Amur-Ussuri region of Primorye and Khabarovsk, a location where it and the Amur Leopard are now being actively protected). There are very few tigers in northeastern China and fewer still in North Korea. Captive breeding and conservation programs are currently active.
The tiger population in the wild was probably lower than 50 in the 1930s, increasing to more than 200 in 1982. Illegal poaching has been brought under better control thanks to frequent road inspections.
A count, taken in 1996 reported 430 Siberian Tigers in the wild. However, Russian conservation efforts have led to a slight increase, or at least to a stable population of the subspecies, as the number of individuals in the Siberian Forests was estimated between 431 and 529 in the last count in 2005. 
Like all other cats, the Siberian Tiger is a carnivorous predator; an adept hunter, it preys primarily on wild boar, roe deer, sika deer and goral, but will also take smaller prey like lagomorphs (hares, rabbits, and pikas) and fish, including salmon. Unlike the Bengal Tiger, the Siberian Tiger rarely attacks humans. It has sometimes even been known to kill and eat Asiatic black bears and even brown bears. There have been cases in which an Siberian Tiger has killed adult brown bears. Since it is estimated that 85% of an Siberian Tiger's diet is composed of red deer and wild boar, protecting these and other prey animals from illegal hunting may be just as important to the tiger's survival as preventing direct killing of the big cats.* *(All information is strictkly taken from Wikipedia 4/11/2007. I did not write any of this.)
