Name: Isabel NadioAge: 37
Appearance: Isabel has chest length hair, and a mid complexion. She has blue eyes, and pale pink hair. Isabel is often found looking down, standing on one leg.
(For her overall-ish look)
(For the hair color)
Personality: Isabel is very timid. She often doesn't speak to people, even though she's grown up. However, once she gets to know you she talks like crazy. Isabel loves to laugh.
Animal: American Flamingo (Phoenicopterus ruber)
History: When Isabel was born thirty-seven years ago, she had white hair. Her parents thought it odd, but no one really noticed any attributes of her being Cursed. Once she could stand, she tended to stand on one leg. Her parents started her on ballet, thinking that was what she wanted. Eventually she grew to dance well, but her hair started turning pink. That wasn't natural. The Snatchers came to take her. Isabel was devastated. She had grown to have a lovely life, and had a natural ability for dance. At age 7, she came to the Palace. Isabel continued dance in the Palace, remembering the steps she had learned, and watching taped recordings given to her before she came to the Palace. (I'm assuming Keras is high tech enough for a TV that she can watch stuff on?) She made her own pointe shoes even, dedicated to dance, even in her circumstances. Occasionally she'll give people in the Palace a lesson or two to fill her time.
Relationship: None.
Other: N/A
This is my first attempt at making a character in this group so....fingers crossed i do decent at least! Just let me know whatever I may need to edit :) Name: Olivia (Liv) Rose Vintaswill
Age: 16
Appearance: Liv has long pin straight brown hair that reaches just to the small of her back. She always keeps it down, using it as sort of a shield against the world and to cover the blue and green patch of scales that stretches from behind her left ear to the nape of her neck. Her skin is very fair and would surely burn if she were to stay out in direct sunlight longer than ten minutes. She has a small, strongly arched nose and high cheekbones. Her lips are slightly thinner than average and if she were to smile it would reveal prominent dimples in her cheeks. Her eyes are an abnormal yellowish green color that's usually reserved only for certain reptiles and house cats with slightly larger than usual pupils. Framing her unusual eyes are thick, dark lashes. Her eyebrows are thick and arch only slightly, but do so in a manner that compliments her otherwise odd looking collection of features. She is fairly short, standing at only five feet three inches. She is very thin and fragile looking with protruding collar bones and arms that some have compared to toothpicks.
Personality: Liv has never been anything but ordinary. She is not a subject of great beauty nor is she noticed for a sparkling personality. Because of this she is a loaner. She is a generally guarded person. She isn't able to trust easily and often finds it hard to bring herself to talk to new people. She is used to blending in to the background and drawing as little attention to herself as possible. She much prefers playing the part of a wallflower, seeing and hearing all, but speaking little.
Animal: Chameleon
History: For the first four years of Liv's life it was assumed she was a normal child. She developed and grew as a normal child, showing no signs of abnormalities. Just before her fifth birthday however, her eyes shifted from the bright new leaf green they had been to a yellowish green usually reserved for reptiles and house cats. A few weeks after that, a patch of blue and green scales started to appear, stretching from behind her left ear to the nape of her neck.
Her parents jumped at the chance to give her up, as they already had six other mouths to feed and she was nothing more than an useless middle child. In some ways Liv's confinement to the palace had probably been more desirable than what her life would have been otherwise.
Since her fifth year, Liv has spent her days in the confinement of the palace, keeping to herself and blending into the background as always. It's where she feels most comfortable.
Other: Others might think Liv got the short end of the stick when it came to being 'cursed' ,after all, what could a chameleon have to offer? Liv wouldn't want to have it any other way though, as her animal counterpart she is able to camouflage herself if needed to blend into her surroundings. It suits her personality quite fittingly.
Name: Zander Hayden Moore Age: 23
Appearance: Zander is a tall guy, standing about six foot three inches with a very muscular build. He has rough toffee colored skin (but suffers from vitiligo- meaning he has random patches of milky white skin in stark contrast) and toffee colored hair to almost a perfect match. His eyes are electric green and spaced too far apart. He has horrible eyesight and is almost always running into things, leaving him covered in various bruises and scratches. He has a strong nose and chin paired with a thin, tight mouth. A scar runs across his left cheekbone. Right beneath his rib cage he has a set of gills, allowing him to breath underwater.
Personality: Zander is a very bipolar character. Sometimes he is a social butterfly, talking to everyone and being as caring and passionate as he can be. Other times he is very abrasive, willing to lash out at anyone who simply breathes or looks at him the wrong way. With Zander, it is a gamble on which side of his personality you will get.
Animal: electric eel
History: Zander cannot remember anything beyond his days in the palace. He was brought in very young, not even two days old. He has had a rough life with the others (those who may use their possesed abilities) tormenting him for not having such a luxury. He has never known the outside world, but is currently trying to do everything in his power to try and change that, even if it would ultimately result in his death.
Other: Zander would normally have the ability of the electric eel to produce crippling ammounts of electricity, but this was not acceptable to his captors.
He must wear a special metal cuff to neutralize this. It is seamless and has no method of removal beyond cutting off his own hand. Even though his ability has been neutralized he is still considered a very high risk prisoner, probably a good move on the authority's part.

Hey Maven's Queen! I have a quick question about Zander. You said in his history that others in the Palace tormented him? What do you mean by that? If it was a guard tormenting him (both verbally and physically) then I would understand. But if you meant another Cursed, I don't think that would happen. Most of the Cursed have been there since they were born (some were even born there) so they wouldn't torment him for not being outside. Everyone is in the same boat there. Other than that, I like him. You are one of the first people to actually use the fact that the guards have suppressant things, which I find adds spice to the character and makes for some interesting charrie interaction. Good job! Once you fix his history thing, he will be good to go and will be in the West wing :)
Alright, sweet. Way less change than I was expecting to have to make. These were characters mused from the depths of my insomnia, I'm surprised they were not absolute train wrecks. xD As for the Zander thing, I did not elaborate very well on that, im sorry. I believe at the time I was thinking it more a deal of butting heads with some of the other prisoners. Half the time he is very abrasive so I thought it would be natural for him to have some who dislike him (probably those with a very head strong animal- like the wolf or various other predators with billigarant personalities). Twenty years is more than enough time for your enemies(or slightly aggressive prison mates) to find out what gets on your nerves, for him I was figuring it to be a sore spot where abilities come into play as he has no other ability he may preform on dry land like most of the others. It would be more psychological than anything, nothing near physical at all, just a reminder that some use to ballance out his slightly intimidating brawn (Something as simple as a snide remark of 'what you gonna do, shock me?'). He would be housed in the west wing after all, and as I read over some of the other characters, I figured it was a weakness of his that they would more than happily prey upon if they clashed given some of their personalities.
Is that still too sketchy? If need be I can just scrap that part all together.
Oh, and there was something I thought of that I thought may be kind of cool/ beneficial to incorporate. A tortoise has an abnormally long life span, so maybe someone who has a tortoise as their animal would also have an abnormally long life span (quite possibly long enough to where they remember the shift from 'Blessed' to 'cursed' or have known people who lived through the transition depending on how far back it was) it could kind of be a part to tie in the imagined history behind this group (and should obviously be reserved to a mod).
So anyways, I'm terribly sorry for spamming up the character page with this incredibly long post and I hope you have/had a nice day!
:)
@Heather Awesome! Thanks. And Isabel will definitely use that room!
Mod
As for the ..."
Hey Maven's Queen! Thanks for clarifying that! I can see that happening, personalities clashing and people disliking others, especially when they are constantly in close quarters etc. Everything is fine now! Zander is approved and will be in the West wing! :)
And OMG YES!!!! Brilliant idea! I am going to take that! Having and NPC with that sort of information will definitely help with the story line. Thanks!!
And don't worry! I don't mind posts on the character page about your character, whether it be clarification or approval or questions etc, its just stuff that doesn't need to be here/can be done on a different thread that I don't like. No need to apologise! Anyway, have fun! :D
Name: Anastasia (Anna) RostovAge: 18
Appearance:
Anastasia has a very feminine body, which she dislikes very much. Because she’s from the cold country, she has light features that make her seem as though she’s glowing. Her skin is the first thing people seem to notice when they first glance at her because of the fact that she’s oddly pale. Anna has roundish-almond eyes that are light green/blue and are framed with thick, dark lashes. Her plentiful and thick blonde hair falls close to the middle of her back, but she’s commonly seen with it up and out of her face. She has European facial features such as high cheekbones, a not-too-harsh jawline, and an almost straight nose (she has a small bump on it, though) One thing that also sticks out (literally) are her fierce, sharp claws located on her hands.
Personality:
Anastasia has always been seen as an affectionate, protective, devoted, strict, sensitive and attentive girl. Because of her predicament at home, she was forced to act maternal towards her younger brother and it has kind of stuck with her. She loves spending time with children and they love spending time with her, she is very protective of any new friends she makes (especially kids). Anna is what her parents call, “an old soul” which means she isn’t into modern day things and likes doing things old fashion. She is quiet but once you begin talking to her and getting to know her, you’ll never want to leave her side. She is also trustworthy, able to help anyone at anytime and can keep up with anything life throws at her. Anna is also very clever and smart, due to her monitored and strict childhood.
Animal: Tundra Wolf
History:
Anna grew up in Siberia with her parents, her younger twin brothers (Alexi and Ivan), and her older brother (Maxim). One year, when Anna was only 14, she witnessed the death of one of her youngest brothers, Alexi, who passed due to a dangerous blizzard. From then on, she would always be the motherly figure to her other younger brother, who was also taking the death harshly. Her parents were always overly strict, especially when it came to school work, so it was hard for Anna to focus on anything else but that. Even before Alexi’s death, their parents were always headstrong and wanted their kids to focus on school. In order to hide her sorrows, that’s exactly what Anastasia did, along with learning how to fight with her father. Since her parents were hyperaware of every movement their kids made, they noticed Anna’s animalistic signs before she did (the claws and her oddly white skin tone). The next thing she knew, she was taken by Snatchers and brought to the Palace of the Cursed.
Relationship:
Single
Other:
She hasn’t shown any development of canines, but she’s hoping they come soon. Along with ears.
** Sorry if it’s long :/ **
Name: Peter NewmanAge: 8
Appearance: A round face, but a slightly muscular build for his age. He has quills covering his whole back, which often ruin his clothing.
Personality: Peter is a nice boy, who likes to be everyone's friend. However, if he feels threatened or is surprised, his quills pop up and can really hurt someone. This causes him to be a bit jumpy, and he doesn't like people to touch him. He's a bit slow moving, but that allows you to have fun conversations with him. Peter is curious and likes to listen to people.
Animal: Crested Porcupine (Hystrix cristata)
History: A normal Cursed history. :)
Relationship: None
Other: Peter's quills easily detach, and if his quills get stuck in someone, they are really tough to get out. Plus, they're really painful.
The guards force Peter to wear tips that cover the points of his quills.
Name: Gareth
Age: 15
Appearance: well, aside from a pair of goggles, nothing much to look at, he wears a grey hooded jacket, a tee shirt, and a pair of jeans. has eyes that are a deep dark-green, and short brown hair
Personality: other people call him reclusive, he calls it cautious, is quiet, calm and doesn't much like being around people, and will bite if threatened, and will not let go until the flesh is trying to come off
Animal: snapping turtle
History: they all thought that he was normal for years, until he went swimming by himself and didn't come back for a few days, they found him underwater asleep. as they tried to take him, he bit someone (he's not sure who) and took out a chunk of flesh
Relationship: none
Other: his teeth sort of look like a turtle's beak

Hey Amber! Sorry about the wait! Thanks so much for making a charrie, I love long posts! :D I will need you to change a few things before I can approve Anna however. First off, you can't say she was born in Siberia. This is Keras, so Siberia doesn't actually exist. The cold part of Aiden is in the south, so could you change it and say she was from either the major city down there or a small town. Thanks! Secondly, her history will probably need to be changed. Things like ears (and a tail if she has one) are part of her anatomy since the day she is born. Things like claws and canines can come later (just like in a few animals here on earth) but major things like ears are there from the beginning. This means that her parents should have known she was Cursed from the get go. Perhaps you can say that she has been living here since she was a baby and had 2 older Cursed who looked after her and the rest of the kids (one or two of whom you can make her blood siblings if you want). Those older Cursed could be like, substitute parents and taught her everything she knows etc, and you can still make it one of the kids dies. That's just an idea though, feel free to change it to what you want. And I'm sorry, I always hate having to make someone change their history and stuff!

Mod
Mod
Age: 17
Appearance:
(Also her mother- they look exactly alike.)
Tea-red eyes, light brown hair with reddish highlights, pointed ears on top of her head and bushy tail with fur the same color as her hair.
Personality: Comforting, "big-sister" type, Leah loves all the Cursed like her own family, and would do anything for them. She's rather attractive, and that, combined with her comforting nature, makes her rather popular with the guys- although she doesn't know it.
Animal: Raccoon dog
History: Her father, Nam Tani, was born on the on one of the various island nations bordering Aiden. He was raised by his grandfather, a traveling merchant, and they traveled to many places in Keras. They knew about the Cursed, of course, but his grandfather believed it was all superstition, that even if a child really was born part animal, it was merely genetic mutation, and not some sort of blessing or curse. They mostly traveled to out-of-the-way islands and such, who didn't have a lot of resources,so they didn't really frequent the prosperous Aiden. When Nam was seven, he and his grandfather where traveling through a forest when they heard a cry. When Nam followed the sound, he found a small girl, no older than 3 or 4- with the ears and tail of a raccoon dog! The girl didn't talk- they didn't know if she couldn't or wouldn't. Since his grandfather didn't believe in any "Curse", they took her in and called her Li. Li and Nam grew up, and she eventually found her voice, but couldn't remember anything from before they found her. She was probably either hidden in those woods to protect her from Snatchers, or abandoned out of shame.
When Nam was fourteen, his grandfather died, and he and Li continued his merchant work, and when he was twenty, he and Li were married.
When Li got pregnant a few years later, they were overjoyed- but deep down, they probably both knew something wasn't right. Li got weaker and weaker, and she gave birth earlier than she should have. She died in childbirth- and her daughter inherited the blessing of the raccoon dog.
Nam named his daughter Leah, and he loved and cared for her.
He made sure to avoid bringing her to Aiden, but, unfortunately, the Snatchers caught up with them when she was ten, and they brought her to the Palace- but Nam wasn't about to abandon his daughter. He and Li had done a lot of digging on the Cursed, and he had uncovered an old scroll describing the Blessed- but it was in an old language and he couldn't read it. Since Leah was taken, he's been doing research on it and sneaking coded messages to her through a messenger falcon. He's almost fully translated it, and once he does, he hopes to find away to overthrow the corruption in Keras.
Relationship: She's single, and isn't necessarily looking for a relationship- there isn't really anyone she thinks of like that, and she has no clue that half the guys are enamored with her. But you never know...
Other: She is good friends with Rosemary, as the brainy Rosemary took her under her wing when she first came to the Palace. Leah is like a friendly and comforting older sister for most of the Cursed (even those older than her), but she and Rosie are closer than real siblings- though she treats Rosie more like an older sister.
Mod
Also, I like Leah! She is so pretty! However, I do have just two things. First thing is her history. I'm not sure you have read the geography section I wrote about Keras but I'm just assuming you have (if not, go read it please! If it isn't clear, please tell me and I will see what I can do to clarify). If you had to make Keras flat like a map, you would see that most of it is ocean. However, there is a massive land mass covering most of the southern hemisphere on the map. That's Aiden. Aiden's most northern point touches the equator and its most southern point is half way in the southern pole and its width is over half the hemisphere. It's the largest land mass on Keras and holds 80% of the worlds population. The other land masses are the islands which are scattered throughout the rest of Keras. Most are close to Aiden but a few are further away. Other than the small nations those islanders have created, there isn't anything else. So unfortunately, when you said Nam was born on the other side of the world and had never heard of Cursed, that's impossible. There isn't really another side! Haha! And everyone on Keras has heard of Cursed, its a worldwide thing. If you still wanted Nam to be a travelling merchant etc he could either travel through Aiden or be a sailor and go around Keras with stuff for the island nations. And the boys could adopt Leah because they know about Cursed but don't think they are evil etc. Perhaps they had met someone during their travels or they had a family member who was Cursed or something. Your choice!
My second thing was, I'm confused about Nam. At the beginning you said he was her father but then he and his grandfather found her when he was 7 and now they are getting married. Confused!

Age: 16
Appearance:
His eyes are a deep dark-green, and he has short brown hair.
Personality: other people call him reclusive, he calls it cautious, and is quiet, calm and doesn't much like being around people. He will bite if threatened, and will not let go until the flesh is trying to come off. (So he claims- no one has at the Palace has ever come out of an encounter with him with anything worse than a slight bite.) He likes swimming, but they don't let him stay underwater for too long.
Animal: Snapping turtle
History: They all thought that he was normal for years, until he went swimming by himself and didn't come back for a few days. They found him asleep underwater. As they tried to take him out, he bit someone (he's not sure who) and took out a chunk of flesh (possibly).
Relationship: none
Other: His teeth sort of look like a snapping turtle's beak- instead of having pointed canines, his front teeth are sort of sharp, and his overbite is more pronounced than most people's.

(Just because he and Gareth are too similar, I;m changing his profile a bit.)
Name: Felix Merian
Age: 14
Appearance:
Felix has light brown hair, aqua eyes (which glow in the dark), calico ears and tail, is of average height, and has retractable claws (which he doesn't really use) and enlightened senses.
Personality: Felix is quiet, but not unsocial. He sits and reads most of the time, but will put down his book and listen if you start talking to him. He's the kind of guy you can just rant about your day too, and he'll sit quietly, and nod in all the right places, and then you go, "So how was your day?" and he'll just shrug his shoulders and go "Okay". He's easy going, and doesn't go out of his way to be involved in anything, but will join if asked. He doesn't talk much, and when he does, he thinks over exactly what he wants to say first. You often forget he's there, until someone asks a something, and you suddenly hear his voice pop up.
Animal: House cat (Felis catus)
History: Felix is your average Cursed. Born to an average family, taken by the Snatchers, yada yada yada.
Mod
Age: 19
Appearance:
Short red hair and tail, with pale blue eyes that can turn yellow (she can see better with them yellow, but can't keep them that way for too long, and they flash yellow when she is scared, angry, or determined). Her hair turns blond during the fall, while her tail becomes thicker and darker brown. (It didn't happen when she was younger, but started around the time she turned twelve.)
She isn't particularly beautiful or attractive, but then again, she doesn't really care- or notice.
Personality: Jackie is a tomboy, often scratched up from tree climbing and rough housing with the boys. To most of them, she's just "one of the guys".
Animal: Ethiopian wolf (Also known as Abyssinian wolf, Simien fox, Simien jackal, Ethiopian jackal, red fox, red jackal, Abyssinian dog and cuberow.)
History: Jackie was brought to the Palace at birth, and grew up preferring wild games with the boys to playing house with the girls. When her hair first turned blond a twelve, she was a little confused, but she's used to it by now.
Relationship: She's always been one of the guys, so she never really thought about relationships, but lately, she's been wondering...
Other: The first week or two before fall, she's kind of skittish and avoids people, and when she reappears, she's already blond, and the last week or two she's confined to her room with terrible stomachaches. Once she feels better, her hair is back to its normal red, and then she chops it off. It's kind off a shock to see her after either of these times if you aren't used to it.
Mod
ALSO ALSO ALSO!!!! I love the end part about the scroll and translating it etc! That's sooo awesome! Aelic, my charrie, is the second prince of Aiden (if you haven't read his profile, go do that). I had an overall plan for this group that included all of the Cursed eventually finding out he is the prince (everyone thinks he is dead right now), and him convincing them to join him in attempting a coup de ta. Stuff happens and all the Cursed break out, join the rebellion and succeed in the coup de ta. Aelic gets crowned king. However, there would be a lot of civil unrest after that (because everyone believes they are Cursed and they took over by force). Your charries scroll would be essential in convincing them otherwise. The people would realise that the aren't Cursed and that they are Blessed and just wanted to be free etc. Then ta da! Everyone happily ever after. Could we do that?! We cant right now, but eventually Aelic and Leah can meet and they realise that they both want a coup and they work together etc. Aelic desperately needs Leah's scroll and Leah needs someone legitimate (you know what I mean) to help them overthrow the royal family. Everything fits! What do you think?!
Mod
P.S. How do you get all those good photos?! I can never find something I want.

Age: 14
Appearance: Zibiah is a small, petite girl. She is thin, has an angular/diamond facial structure, large chocolate doe eyes and sharp cheekbones. Overall she looks very dainty (though looks can be deceiving). She has light brown skin and long black hair that reaches her shoulder blades. Zibiah has long legs (obviously all in proportion of course), that look again, very thin and dainty. However, she is all muscle and her powerful legs allow her to jump great heights and run with great speeds. She is fast, very very fast. Her caramel coloured skin changes into a dark chocolate strip vertically down both sides of her ribs (like the black stripe on the gazelle). The very edges of Zibiah’s cheekbones (near her hair line) and the inside edges of her eyes (like from her tear ducts down to the edge of her nose) also have stripes of darker colouring than the rest of her face (noticeable, but not that dark). Her most distinctive feature however is the two long horns that protrude from the top of her head. They are mostly straight but curve slightly backwards a little at the top, with the tips facing forwards (see gazelle pictures for horns structure).
Personality: Zibiah is a sweet girl. She is shy (almost wary) a first but once she warms up to you, she is friendly and kind. She loves her family deeply and creates very strong bonds with those she calls friends (almost mentally adopting them!). She has an adventurous heart and as long as she has some company, would be quite content to wander Keras forever. She has a deep well of determination and a strong will, but she doesn’t know it yet. Zibiah isn’t what others call brave (i.e. running into battles, slaying monters etc), but she is brave in her own right. She will lend a helping hand where others wouldn’t, wander her own way no matter what others think and step up to lead if it’s required of her. Battles and fighting though...yeah, not her thing. When she is frightened she does what all gazelles do. She will jump impossibly high in the air and then use her powerful legs to sprint in the opposite direction (good luck catching up to her).
Animal: Gazelle (Thomson)
History: Zibiah lived as part of a nomadic tribe that wandered the Sefna desert. These tribes are made up of families but, at most, have around 20-30 people. Each tribe is governed by a matriarch. The matriarch is an elder with much life experience and it is she who decides where they will go, when they will rest etc. She tells them stories and passes on her knowledge of Keras and its history. The tribes have always been ‘separate’ from the rest of Aiden due to the habitat they live in and their culture and small population size. As the rest of Aiden began to despise the Blessed and call them Cursed, the tribes did not, because of their isolation. As the years passed the tribes contact with the rest of Aiden grew less and less frequent until about 50 years ago, it stopped altogether. Most believe that the tribes died or were dismantled. That was not the case. They have always been a solitary people and felt that the rest of Aiden was becoming a danger to them and so, they ceased all contact and began to roam further inland, staying away from the outskirts of the Sefna to avoid detection. Zibiah was born 14 years ago to the daughter of her tribe’s matriarch. There was a great celebration, for although Blessed have been born to all of the tribes, their numbers have been dwindling. She grew up loved by her parents, grandparents and the rest of the tribe. Every 5 years all of the tribes of the Sefna meet in the centre of the desert to exchange news, trade and reaffirm social bonds. Zibiah was 4 when she went to her first Gathering, 9 when she went to her second. Her third Gathering was when she had just turned 14. She had befriended some other children from other tribes at the last Gathering and whilst her parents and grandmother were busy, she slipped away to find them. They told her of the stories they had heard about the rest of Aiden. Giant cities of people in tents made of stone, huge plains of grass stretching as far as the eye could see, sheets of frozen water covering the ground and falling from the sky. Zibiah was quickly entranced. When the Gathering ended and each tribe went on their way, Zibiah asked her grandmother, the matriarch, which way they would go. Her grandmother knew what Zibiah wanted and so, decided to go closer to the outskirts than the tribe usually did. The matriarch reasoned that once the child had seen the outskirts, she would be content. And that would have been so, if Zibiah hadn’t wandered off. The tribe had settled down for the evening and were pitching their tents. Children aren’t needed to help with this and so, Zibiah wandered off to explore the outskirts. Losing track of the time and wandering too far brought her straight onto the grounds of an old retired couple. This probably wouldn’t have been so bad, but the couple were retired Snatchers and hated Cursed with a passion. Zibiah, unknowing of the types of people who inhabit the rest of Aiden, went straight up to them. They treated her nicely, invited her inside for some food and subsequently drugged her. The couple called the other Snatchers and Zibiah was taken to the Palace of the Cursed.
Relationship: None
Other: Since Zibiah was the granddaughter of a matriarch and a Cursed, her name was well known throughout the other tribes. Sometimes, at the Gatherings, she would paint her face, hide her (then small) horns with a head wrap and call herself Rasha. She wasn’t ashamed of who she was, she just wanted to see what she what it was like being someone else. When the old retired Snatchers caught her, some instinct told her that something was wrong and so, when they asked her name, she called herself Rasha. That’s what everyone at the Palace believes she is called, but will tell those she considers friends her real name.
Zibiah is a character I created to interact with those who want to rp, but are unable to jump in with someone else’s story (for whatever reason). Two people can decide that they don’t want any other charries jumping into their rp (and that’s fair enough, everyone must respect that), but this is not the case with Zibiah. If you rp with her, I will allow anyone and everyone to join us, so be prepared! :)
Oh, and I approve myself (duh!). Because of her long horns she will be in the West wing.

I finished Jackie, could you approve her?

Age: 18
Appearance:
With his soft white hair and ears, wide, silver-gray eyes, short, fluffy, light gray tail, and short stature, Andi is often thought to be cute- in the way an little animal or small child might be. He doesn't really mind though. He's often covered in bruising, just from tripping and such, because he is rather delicate, and tends to get sick and bruise easily.
Personality: Andi is a bright, talkative boy who is always in the middle of the action and knows everything that is going on. He isn't mean-spirited though, and he doesn't gossip, and he can be very sensitive. He is intuitive to the feelings of people around him. Andi doesn't like being alone- ever.
Animal: Chinchilla
History: Andi was left near the Palace at around three years old. Where he was before that, and why, are unknown. He knew his name, and how to talk, but mostly he cried- a lot. For the first week or so that he was there, nobody knew exactly what to do with him- he cried when people came into the room. He cried when they left. He cried when they talked. He cried when they stopped talking.
One day, Jackie stopped by to see what the fuss was about and she asked, "Why are you crying?" "Because I'm sad." "Why?" "Because they're mean!" Then, in what was probably the only really show of sensitivity she ever showed, Jackie told him "Nobody is trying to be mean. Everyone here is your family- that means that they will love you and take care of you- no matter what." "Really?" "Really- so you don't have to cry anymore." "Okay."
He didn't stop crying or being sensitive, but he cried less and was more aware of those around him. If you are feeling sad or depressed, there might be other people who will listen or comfort you, but Andi's the one who will commiserate with you- and then point out something to be happy about.
Relationship: He might be talkative, but if you ask him if he likes anyone, he will clam up and change the subject.
Other: Most Cursed are brought to the Palace at birth or extremely young age. There are people responsible for feeding them and such, but sometimes, children just cry for no reason and most people don't have the patience to deal with them- Andi is often the one who will help in this situation. Or if a child is brought a little older, and is sad, feral and/or distrusting of all the others, even if they attack anyone who comes near them and everyone else has given up on them, Andi will not give up on these children.
All the little kids think of him as a caring big brother- although they know better than to tackle him- he'd turn black and blue!

Also, is Andi approved?
Mod
And Andi is the cutest little puffball ever!!! He is definitely approved. He will be in the East wing like Jackie. Also, because he is so good with kids I had a thought. The Palace of the Cursed has a nursery for babies etc and a infirmary for when the Cursed get hurt. Do you think he would like to help out there? It seems like he would be really effective in calming both the kids and the hurt Cursed. They would love him there! The NPC who runs the infirmary is a very kind human called Susan. She is also a guard but doesn't treat Cured as animals (she had Cursed family etc) so Andi and her would get along. There are other healers too (rest are Cursed) but I couldn't be bothered to create them. For the nursery I had thought about having a hippo Cursed to be the head nurse. There would be others too. I haven't created them either but if you decide Andi would like to 'work' there then I will.

Name: GinaAge: 15
Appearance: brown hair with streaks of gray and white, a cherub like face with blue eyes. Tends to wear browns and grays and whites, to blend in. She's got the claws/fingers/whatever of a koala. She's also a sleeper like her animal 20hrs per day and she doesn't like to be awakened.

Personality: Kind of shy, will run if threatened or even if you say BOO! to her But she is active, as her animal except at night (I think, like the Koala)
Animal: Koala bear
History: Gina had always been in hiding since discovering what she was. Even when the Snatchers came out searching for Cursed, Gina was never seen in the same place twice (or was she? Who knows, haha). She's spent the past twelve years in hiding, until she got caught searching for food and forgot herself at that point. She's a vegetarian though and won't even touch or look at meat without cringing in fear.
Relationship: none, parents are dead
Other: don't have any. She's got all the characteristics of a Koala including its ability to hide and stuff.
( And done. Thanks to LJF who found a pic worthy of her.)
