Ariel

Basic Information

Race: Pycon
Birthday & Age : 6 years old, 505 AV
Gender: Female

Physical Description

Height: 3 inches tall
Weight: 5 lbs
Hair: Medium- length and wavy, sculpted on
Eyes: Pupil-less, never blink

Ariel literally looks like a small sculpture or figurine come to life. At only three inches tall, she is very self-conscious about this. She weighs very little, and has a hard time reaching things, she oftentimes needs to ask for help. For her kind, she is rather tall, and has 1.75 inch-long legs, and an inch-long torso. Her arms are about 1.5 inches. Her head and neck make up about .25 inches. She has greyish clay-like skin, with red and copper undertones. Her limbs are very thin. Her body contains no blood. She has a dress sculpted onto her, as well as ornamental bird-like wings that come out of the middle of her back, and stretch outwards on both her right and left side. They are about 2 inches high, and 3 inches wide.

Character Concept

Ariel is a devout believer in Harameus, god of alchemy and transformation. She often prays to him, but doesn't always feel like she's praying in the right way. Perhaps she asks to much of him, or the wrong things of him, she isn't sure. She simply feels like he doesn't always hear her because she doesn't always get what she wants. Even so, she continues to pray to him, knowing somewhere in her heart, that if she prays often enough, eventually he will hear her pleas, and find a way to give her a sign, answer all of her questions, and guide her in the right direction.

Ariel's "main form," or "current form," is essentially a human with wings. However, she feels like she may change again soon, at least for a time, as she grows and learns. Although she matures quickly, she feels immature, which is why she feels that her form may change again.

Ariel loves to live in the moment. She loves going out and exploring the world, and has travelled to quite a few places. She hates feeling contained, and loves to learn new things, and see new things as well.

Ariel is very bold, and loves to take risks. She feels as though life is all about living it up and having fun. The only time she ever gets down, so to speak, is when someone makes fun of her size, which is sure to set her off on an angry rant. DON'T MAKE FUN OF HER SIZE, SHE WILL FIND YOU, AND SHE WILL GET YOU TOO.

Ariel can be loyal, fun, and loving, but she can also be cheeky and sarcastic. She's very playful, and gets frustrated with those who aren't like her, in the sense that she has a hard time with those who don't also love to explore and learn new things.

For the most part, she's kind, but will be rather mean, again if you make fun of her size, or she realizes that you may be getting in her way when it comes to getting where she feels the need to go, or be. Essentially, if she feels as though you're getting in the way of her reaching her goals, she is going to rebel, most likely in a passive-aggressive sort of way. Don't let the wings fool you!

Despite all of this, Ariel is also aware of the fact that she does have limits, but most of the time, she chooses not to acknowledge this fact. She doesn't like to feel as though she can't accomplish anything in what is sure to be a very short lifetime.

Character History

Ariel didn't live long with her family after her birth. As much as she loved them, her heart was always filled with the desire to discover hidden talents, learn new things, and explore. Although her family travelled periodically, it was not enough for her. So she had moved on by the time she turned one. She remembers little of them because their faces and actions always seemed to shift; a quality, she herself possessed. She always seemed to be changing, growing, and was often said to be highly unpredictable.

The first thing Ariel did after leaving her family was travel to Zeltiva so that she could study at the university. At first, she had trouble getting in, considering her size, but soon enough, she found herself learning all about the art of reading auras. Reading books that were three times her size. She would have to have someone else open the book up for her, but after that, she could hop on top of the pages, read them all through, and then jump off her current page, and flip to the next, and so on and so forth. Within the university, Ariel learned how to read auras, essentially, an energy field that surrounds every living, and even some non-living entities. She never became particularly gifted in the art, which, she supposes at times, was a good thing, considering how reading auras had a nasty tendency to lead to sensory overload, and even paranoia in some of the cases she had seen and read about. It's only real use: deceit, and intelligence. At least, that's how she felt, and should she want to take the time to develop the skill some more, she always could.

After that, she travelled to Konti Isle, feeling as though that was the next place to turn, considering all the woman there had psychic gifts, and may be able to help her out. How'd she get there, you may ask, well, she befriended a Kelvic named Lily while in Zeltiva, whose animal form was a hawk. Lily allowed Ariel to ride around on her back, in exchange, Ariel entertained her along the way. She wasn't sure what happened to Lily, she hadn't seen her since Lily went hunting one day in Konti Isle. She hoped she was ok though.

After that, she simply wandered wherever her little heart desired, seeking new knowledge, friends and adventures along the way. She even made a few enemies as well.

Rafael

From their first meeting, the "Now Play Nice" thread: The kitten had short fur, which had a slightly translucent look to it. Its sorrel-colored fur appeared to have a very fine texture. It bore several dark bands of a warm copper red over a lighter shade of a chocolate red-brown. It marked the kitten's coat evenly giving it a ticked coat pattern.

The kitten had both a muscular, and lean appearance, and couldn't weigh all that much more than Ariel- perhaps 9 pounds, she guessed. The kitten's body was also rather long.

The kitten's eyes were rather large, as though the size would account for its nature, which Ariel guessed was a curious one. They were amber-colored eyes with dark rims around each of them. The kitten had large ears that were cupped with tufts of fur at the tips. It had slender legs and small paws, with sharp claws that curved downwards towards the ground. The kitten also had a long tail, which Ariel guessed to be about three-quarters of its size, that swished back and forth with each of its silent steps across the ground. Near the tip of the kitten's tail, was a band of cinnamon-colored fur.

Moderator Add-Ons: Rafael has short fur during the hot summers and longer fur during the cold winters that sorrel-colored and fine textured. Several dark bands of warm copper red over lighter shades of chocolate red-browns run their way down it's back and sides, giving it a beautiful, albeit short and thin, coat of fur.

The kitten is both muscular and lean, weighing in at around seven pounds, a small fraction of its weight once it matures fully. Unknown to Ariel, the kitten is a little less than two seasons old.

Rafael possesses large, amber eyes, split upwards down the middle with the pupils so unique to cats. It's large ears are ended in tufts of light brown fur, and are used as heat vents during the hot summers of Endrykas. The pads of its feet are a pale pink, well accustomed to walking upon the tough ground of the Sea of Grass. Its tail always seems to be moving, swishing back and forth constantly, albeit slowly.

Being a non-domestic cat by nature, and hardly, if at all, trained, Rafael is still very prone to succumbing to influences. He will stalk after prey, hide from predators, etcetera. Also, because of his lack of training, he constantly mistakes his Mistress as a chewtoy, munching on her appendages whenever he feels a little bored. Fortunately for her, this is not too often, as he is a very curious creature, dabbling his paws in a bit of everything. However, he loses interest in most things quite quickly, so his attention is always darting from one object of not to the next, soaking it all in for a few brief moments before his interest changes.

He loves playing. Whenever nothing is going on and he has nothing to look at, he tries to find something to play with, which is part of the reason why he chews up Ariel.
