Active people huh? Oh dear, this may be a challenge for me. *cracks knuckles... ow...* But I'll try it!
Anywho, just 'cuz I want people to know who my character is, I'm posting her here (easy refrence, I figure).
Name: Ka
Age: 16
Gender: Female
Legend: Entei
Description: Of all her features, one of the most striking of Ka is her height at a daunting six feet even. All of her muscles, except her thighs, haven’t really compensated for her height just yet, giving her a lean, almost gangly appearance. The rest of her body retains a long, thin appearance, straight to her fingers and feet. She wears a crummy jerkin made out of Taurus hide, which she made herself through the guidance of her pack’s elder, Kitsune. She doesn’t really like wearing the jerkin, but Kitsune tells her that having her wear it reminds her of her trainer, Mitsumi, so she‘ll wear the jerkin to make Kitsune happy.
Ka’s hair also attracts a lot of attention from people who haven’t seen her, with three big bangs hanging over her forehead, red hair flipped in front of her ear, a brown broom head going down to her shoulders, and her personal favorite, a fluffy plume of grey hair draped all the way down to her calves. Underneath her bangs are deep brown eyes that seem to absorb everything they see.
Personality: Ka appears possess a quiet and noble demeanor, standing tall and not saying much with the exception of a particular few people. While Ka does possess some of these qualities, her demeanor tends to be very unsure and dependent. She has many questions about who she is, where she came from, and why she couldn’t be born like the normal Vulpix in her pack, and this form of thought tends to make her feel lonely. Despite this uncertainty, Ka’s loyalty extends to everybody (except a potential meal) and she will gallantly protect and defend the helpless by catching the antagonist off guard with an Ember attack and running away. Lastly, being the incarnation of Entei, she loves to run just about everywhere and feels an exhilaration of freedom and peace as the wind bellows against her face.
Pokemon pride/pack/herd: Predominately Vulpix, but has a Ninetails as the alpha. The Ninetails is an old Pokemon who once had a trainer, and has a vast amount of knowledge of human traits, habits, and skills (like knitting). Kitsune has taken care of Ka and taught her (or tried to teach her, in some instances) to teach Ka how to behave as a human.
Ability: Ember and Agility
Sample:
“I don’t see why I have to go to this thing.” Ka grumbled as she lay between two taller thatches of grass, staring up at the stars.
Another girl, older, dressed much fancier and clearly Japanese, though only she would know of the land’s existence, lay next to her and looked up at the stars as well. She closed her eyes and let out a pained sigh. “We’ve discussed this many times before, Ka, our group has decided that the best way to keep you safe is to bring all of the ones like you together in one place…”
“Yes, but why?” Ka asked, hoping to break the other girl’s concentration but knowing that would never happen.
“Again, we told you many times before as well. There is a great and powerful evil in this world. My power alone would be insufficient to protect you. It is our hope that your combined strength would shield you from the evil that rules over this world.”
“Its…” the young girl clenched her fists and turned her head to side, exasperated. “Its not fair! I love you and I love my pack. Why should I go and do this? Why do I have to leave?”
“Please, Ka.” The Japanese girl turned her head to look at her as sadness clenched her throat. “Please don’t make it harder then it is. It won’t be all bad, think of the good! You’ll be with others like you… and I’m sure they’ll care for you for the same reasons I do.”
“But you are like me! When I’m with you like this, I don’t feel weird at all!”
“I know, child, I know. But you must realize this form isn’t me. Its just foxfire, its just a memory of a girl who died long ago. I have protected, sheltered and tended to you with all the care and attention she gave me when I was a baby. Later, when I grew older, I had to go out on my own from her. So to, must you. This is nature’s way, and though you may be scared now, there are many adventures and mysteries for you to discover that you would never be able if you were to stay here. You will grow into a fine adult, Ka, and you though you’ve made me very proud, you will surely make me even prouder yet.”
There was a long silence as the two looked over the stars. They were perhaps the most unusual-looking pair in the whole world. Two human girls staring up at the stars as the cool evening air brushed among the reeds. Finally, the young girl said. “I will miss you so very much.”
“I want to tell you something that my friend told me once, long ago. ‘Though we may never see each other in this world,’ she said, ‘I will always be with you so long as you keep me in your mind every now and then and in your heart forever. Just as you have given me a bit of yourself, I have given you a bit of myself. Never forget what we learned and experienced, and you will never be far from me.’”
“Thank you, Kitsune,” Ka whispered as she reached over and hugged her companion. The illusion disappeared as soon as the girl’s fingers touched the Ninetails soft pelt.
“I will always keep you in my mind occasionally and in my heart forever, child. I love you and am proud to say you are family.” The Ninetails said assuredly, as she nuzzled the young girl’s cheek.
