Ruri's Stable! (Catch of the Day arrives!)

[Ruriska]

Swim Free

Typically languid and lacking expression, Free easily comes across as standoffish and it's only through contact and understanding that you will find the loyal friend within. He prizes his own freedom above all and tries to live up to his name, though sometimes he's not even sure what real 'freedom' is. He can't handle pressure and expectations, fearing that loss of his free self and needs to learn that making decisions for his future and having a passion won't cage him. Oh and he likes swimming? I didn't mention that? Well, he does. Obviously.

Purpose: Swimming
Likes: Swimming, mackerel
Dislikes: Not swimming, pressure
Romance?: ... his best friend and maybe something more...
Offspring: n/a

Banshee

Eager, helpful (usually in all the wrong ways but hey she's trying), loud and highly expressive. Banshee is full of emotion and always willing to show it, especially if it's on your behalf. She's a professional mourner and will wail the day and night away to make sure your loved one spirit passes on with the anguished cries they deserve. 

Purpose: Professional Mourner
Likes: Crying, laughing, horror movies
Dislikes: Judgment, being told to shut up, carrot
Romance?: Maybe for the right Phony
Offspring: n/a

Bushido

Serious and dedicated, Bushido's life is packed full. She rarely has an idle moment (unless you count the meditation scheduled for 8AM every morning) and works hard to improve herself and to assist others. Her own joy is secondary to being able to help her family and friends.

Likes: Honour, family, kendo, red bean paste
Dislikes: Rudeness, being useless, idle time, sour foods
Romance?:
Offspring: n/a

Melting Moment

Soft, sweet and a lover of romance, Melting Moment is here to help your dreams come true. For a small fee she will happily arrange your romantic dreams. Want to propose to the love of your life? She'll organise the petals raining from above and the string quartet or the bi-plane spelling out 'will u mary me' in the sky. Your joy is hers.

Purpose: Romance Consultant
Likes: love, romance novels, dreaming of handsome stallions and winsome ladies
Dislikes: breakups, miscommunication, unhappy endings
Romance?: Oh yes please!
Offspring: she hopes!

[Ruriska]

Witch Hazel

Introverted and pragmatic, Witch Hazel considers herself a neutral party and tries not to take sides in any problems, especially when it comes to her family. She dislikes drama but deals with it patiently enough, until someone rubs her the wrong way, then her cruel and cutting side is set free.

Likes: tea, her family, solitude
Dislikes: taking sides, dramatics, curses
Romance?: too young and not fussed
Offspring: n/a

[Ruriska]

Small World

He isn't angry, he's just disappointed. In you, in your decisions, in the fact that he has to look up to meet your gaze. Phonyland and everyone in it seems to have been designed to get under his skin. Small World might come off as grumpy and judgemental (... and he is) but it's only because he wants to share the wonder and joy of Diminutive Planet and nobody seems to be taking the bait. In what little spare time he allows himself he collects dolls, stamps and flags, or he can be found standing behind the fence staring longingly at the petting zoo animals.

Likes: Diminutive Planet, stamps, flags, world peace
Dislikes: Angry Soup Bowls, probably you, being short
Romance?: go away (but maybe...)
Offspring: n/a
Other: winning entry

Scrambled

Scrambled is... well, a bit scrambled. She's a box of eggs that's been dropped one too many times. But she's a good kid who loves chickens and has an innate fear of knives.

Likes: eggs, chickens, corn, worms because they wriggle
Dislikes: knives, chicken shops because they promise chickens but not in a good way, foxes
Romance?: bawk?
Offspring: n/a

[Ruriska]

Oathkeeper

Of her three siblings, Oathkeeper is the fighter. A knight, of sorts - she has her own brand of justice, which usually involves getting her hooves dirty. She's just doing her best, it's not her fault her idea of right and wrong has been skewed by her parents. She's headstrong, protective and unrelenting in her desire to keep her family safe.

Purpose: A knight protector for her family!
Likes: Her family (obviously), going outside, stories about knights, fighting
Dislikes: weakness, gossip, anyone who dares say anything bad about her family
Romance?: not right now
Offspring: n/a

[Ruriska]

Rigged

A quick-witted charmer who could talk the clothes off your back if he wanted. Rigged likes to chatter and spin a good tale and by the time he's done you've been completely won over and under his spell. This hustler uses misdirection and half-truths to always get his way. Confidence is key in this game and he's got it in spades. Just as mysterious and fun as the midway itself, Rigged is impossible to predict and always ready to take a chance. But will you ever meet the real him? Probably not.

Purpose: Runs the midway of the family circus
Likes: Money, gullible folk, ladies with flexible spines, a good swindle
Dislikes: Losing a bet, actual relationships, the concept of love
Romance?: He's more a dick and dash kinda guy.
Offspring: n/a
Other: Winning entry!

Isty Bitsy

You're not scared, are you? Sure she has a few extra limbs and her smile looks a bit dangerous and when she stares at you it's with multiple eyes but she's really very sweet. Itsy Bitsy just loves spiders; she'll love you too if you'll let her coax her friend out of your house before you swat them. She enjoys hugs and weaving nice gifts for everyone and will happily recite silly nursery rhymes to your young children.

'Welcome to my parlour,' she'll say with a giggle when you arrive for afternoon tea. She promises not to bite... this time.

Purpose: Spider caretaker (you should see her house...)
Likes: Spiders, babbies, knitting, candlelit dinners
Dislikes: When spiders get squished, impoliteness, people thinking she's scary
Romance?: Oh perhaps!
Offspring: She would love a few thousand

Bad Tidings

A morbidly cheerful pessimist, Bad Tidings is the one in the group who happily announces 'looks like we're all going to die!' when anything dicey happens. Are you going for a swim after you just ate? Oh yeah, you'll probably drown! Her eyes are wide and her mouth is a big 'O'. Head giving a little bob up and down. Isn't it cool? Did you know what happens when you drown? it's very quiet! Not splashy like on TV. Nobody will even know! Water fills yours lungs and -- yeah, probably best just to walk away.

Purpose:
Likes: Morbid details of gruesome deaths, pirates, stories about star-crossed lovers where somebody has to die, cute girls
Dislikes: Being told off, cheese (it's so stinky!), being ignored
Romance?: ooo perhaps!!
Offspring: um?
Other: Winning entry!

Hellbound

A fearful sight, Hellbound guards the gates of the damned (it's actually just a sensitive file room that they can't have random people wandering into) with his eyes wide, ever watchful. 'WHO DARES PASS?' he booms, and then, 'THE BATHROOM IS TO YOUR LEFT'. He's a Phony that prefers order over chaos (he organized the whole file room and is thus extremely protective), who can be trusted to be put on guard duty and left there for long hours without complaint. Despite being confused by normal day to day interactions and not having much going on upstairs, he's generally helpful and friendly enough provided you don't misfile something. Just don't ask any questions you don't want a loud and blunt answer to ('YES THAT DOES MAKE YOU LOOK FAT').

Purpose: Guarding the Gates of the Damned aka the sensitive file room
Likes: Order, doing his job, informing others of the the right directions to reach where they are going,
Dislikes: Chaos, long and pointless conversations, people who misfile the files (he knows who you are and he is watching)
Romance?: FOREVER ALONE
Offspring: Only as a business transaction
Other:

Entry from Gaia:
[spoiler]ALL EYES ON YOU
Name: Hellbound
Personality: A fearful sight, Hellbound guards the gates of the damned (it's actually just a sensitive file room that they can't have random people wandering into) with his eyes wide, ever watchful. 'WHO DARES PASS?' he booms, and then, 'THE BATHROOM IS TO YOUR LEFT'. He's a Phony that prefers order over chaos (he organized the whole file room and is thus extremely protective), who can be trusted to be put on guard duty and left there for long hours without complaint. Despite being confused by normal day to day interactions and not having much going on upstairs, he's generally helpful and friendly enough provided you don't misfile something. Just don't ask any questions you don't want a loud and blunt answer to ('YES THAT DOES MAKE YOU LOOK FAT').
Why are you Forever Alone?  'I HAVE NO NEED OF SUCH THINGS. THEY ARE POINTLESS DISTRACTIONS.'

As for me, it's all too much effort for my liking. I like my space, thx. Plus all that drama? Tears? Heartache? Insecurities? You can keep it. :talk2hand:[/spoiler]

Catch of the Day

Big-eyed and somewhat unnerving, Catch of the Day is a surprisingly hard worker. She's got big dreams behind that vacant stare and goes about her day with a purpose.

Purpose: Owns the local fish and chippery, also called Catch of the Day.
Likes: Fish (for eating), water, the lagoon, bonito flakes
Dislikes: Food Health and Safety regulations, dry skin, bigger fish
