Frisk's Furiends

Gentle Heart, I Will Take Care Of You Wind Pegasus

Name: Ilani

Oftentimes those who are the gentle, kind sort find themselves, whether they intend it or not, being taken advantage of. Those with less scrupulous hearts or those who simply are unthinking about it will ask more of them than they can give, wear them down with requests and needs until they just about break. Whether or not Frisk has ever encountered any of these individuals isn't part of this Wind's mental equation. The thing that concerns her is that should it happen (or even just when she thinks Frisk needs it), she will more than be there to cover her Bonded in her wings like a warm, snuggly blanket and fuss over them with found treats and nuzzles and all manners of affection. She will shower them with kindness and affection, and the only thing she asks in return is some hugs and love herself. Just a little bit is all she needs to make her day and energize her for yet more caretaking of her Bonded.

She is in body much akin to a Lusitano horse, with a beautiful golden dun colored body and a creamy white mane and tail that grows very thick. As her rank shows she has the coal black lines that trace her spine and spans her shoulders, and the edge feathers of her wings match her mane and tail.

Treasures of the Sky Female Breeze Pegasus

Name: Maia

Treasures of the Sky has always adored the stars. The way they twinkle, glitter, eternal jewels of the heavens yet equally eternally out of reach. So when she was young mare imagine her delight when she found out that sometimes, rarely, stars 'fall' from the sky! What a delight, that the heavens would give her a gift! Yes, she fully understands that meteorites are not stars but that they come from that same realm makes them her greatest treasures. She hunts for them like it's a giant scavenger hunt, offering trades to those who have them and storing every one of them safely away in a high mountainside cave with rocks closing the entrance so any creature larger than she is probably couldn't enter it, and most find locating it difficult. Here she arranges them on natural stone shelves so their semi-metallic surfaces glitter in the sunlight that filters in from above. They are her prizes for her personal game of hide and seek. Then one night she saw something that sparked joy in her heart; a falling star breeching the clouds and falling towards the water. Though she flew as fast as she could she wasn't quick enough to get there before it hit the water. As the steam billowed up in her face she flew back and forth, frustrated and trying to think on how to get it. Then from below a shadow rose up. It wasn't some kind of thread, however - it was a Hippocampus, a rather handsomely formed creature, who had the fallen star and to her delight offered it to her. That moment sealed the connection between them. They began displaying their treasure to one another on the beach and whenever one finds something the other is the first one they let know. That she can't Mindspeak matters little; they understand one another easily enough. They find special treasures and give them as gifts to one another. More and more they spent time together, sometimes just enjoying one another's company, and love was quick to bloom. She cherishes the fallen star that led her to him, kept on a special shelf in her mountainside treasury, because it brought her to her wish come true, her dear Pelagic.

Were she not a Pegasus, Treasures of the Sky might be the kind of horse that would give breeders a start. She, as all Breeze Pegasi, has the black and white, irregular patchy coat of a paint showing the frame overo marking, a potentially fatal pattern for offspring she may bear. Thankfully she isn't a mundane horse; she is a Pegasus and thus it's just cosmetic. Her eyes are sky blue as her face is white while her mane and tail are black, as are her wings.

Just Keeps Going And Going And Going And Popcorn! Female Steam Cuddlebug Athid

Name: Henrietta

Mindspeech: Color #ff728b

An endless bundle of energy and hyperactivity is this Athid, so Frisk better be ready! She never seems to sit still for more than a moment, taking off the instant something attracts her attention. She has a thousand interests and a thousand hobbies going on at any one point, somehow kept sorted despite the barely-organized chaos. Xer mind somehow seems to go even faster than the rest of him, as incredible as that thought may be. Oh, she is a clever little mecha-bug, that she is! She knows a lot of oddball little factoids many times shared at random with whomever happens to be around at the moment and often having nothing to do with any conversation at hand. But she is always so delighted by these golden nugget of wonder and fascination that it's hard, if not impossible, to deny her the sharing. The upside to this hyperness is that regardless of what Frisk is needing, be it an item, information, or whatever, there is a high chance that she will be able to find it or already know it simply by happenstance, or know whom Frisk can inquire with (and what they might like in exchange). The downsides, however, are twofold. One is that unlike some other Cuddlebug Athid, whom primarily rely on cuddling with their Bondeds and use their rank's method of regaining energy as a minor backup (if they even have it available at all), she must utilize both Frisk's body energy and steam power to maintain his energy levels. Take away one of the other and she will not have enough power to make it throughout the day. It isn't an uncommon sight to see her making a dive into a source of beneath the surface to 'drink' or sprawling on the ground 'panting' puffs of steam (as a note, it's advisable to wear oven-safe mitts at the very least if one must touch her when she's like this). She also has the habit of 'dive bombing' Frisk for quick but affectionate cuddles to give herself an energy boost. The other is something that Frisk will likely get adapted to, but others that encounter the Athid might need help with, translation if you will: she speaks fast. And not like the excitable-fast a certain local Myrgwae occasionally gives in to. Far closer to sofastthatit'sveryhardtokeepupwithheranditsoundslikeshecontinuallyusesrun-onsentences. (Translation: So far that it's very hard to keep up with her and it sounds like she continually uses run-on sentences.) It's something she can't help, really. She just lives her life as fast as Athid-ly possible, in all aspects.

She is a long-bodied Athid, taking the form of appropriately-enough a dragonfly. From head to tip of her abdomen she stretches about six inches long, her body formed of copper with steel framework for strength and durability. Holes punched throughout the copper shell make for adornments as well as places for steam to escape, and her delicate-looking wings are silver filigree wires supporting iridescent clear crystal that fades ombre-style to rich sapphire close to her body. Xer antenna, little coppery threaded braids, twist and curl in admittedly attractive shapes and manners with her mood and excitement level. Her eyes are smooth, acrylic emerald stones that have an illusion quality, almost making it seem that one could stare deep, deep into their depths like looking directly up into the heart of the sky... if she could ever sit still long enough for someone to do so!

Always There For You Genderless Solar Athid

Name: Caron

Mindspeech: Color #380b78

There's a thing called 'languages of love.' It's a term for how someone expresses or receives love the best. For Always There the language they express themselves best is clearly 'acts of service.' Like all Solars they feel driven to be a caretaker for Frisk as their Bonded Athid, but it's not about duty to them. To Always There each time they take care of the laundry, or the dishes, or straighten up the living room after a night of hanging out with friends and Bondeds, it's an expression of a single, simple yet profound phrase: "I love you.' They never expect any such act in return - in fact as might be no surprise given they're a Cuddlebug Athid 'physical touch' is their preference for being offered affection and doing such things just for reciprocation is rather tacky after all. Always There is just happy being able to do what they can for Frisk and showing their love every day.

Appearing as a 'mundane' ladybug - which admittedly has some calling them by female pronouns every now and then, a fact they patiently and kindly correct each time - Always There has a brilliant, dark red carapace almost the color of wine with black spots. But one of their spots has a curious irregularity to it - it's pointed on one end and dented in the top, looking none too unlike a heart.

Ferocious Anger Belongs To Beasts Order of Squires Male

Name: Selvan

Mindspeech: Underlined #D6620F

Inspiration: Link

Nature is wild and untamed, impossible to control or predict. And it is beautiful. This Squire has spent as much of his time in the heart of the wilderness as he has in more 'civilized' areas, and to be honest he sometimes prefers the wilds to anything else. There is a raw honesty, at times brutally cold, that he prefers to the often double-faced ways of cities and towns. This preference has given him a great understanding of both plant and animal, and there are few he cannot identify or even seem to communicate with. Practically no beast will threaten him, because he knows how to avoid such conflicts and some even view him as a brother. Tree roots will not trip his feet, nor thorns scratch him, because he is one of them. He understands them, and respects them. He can be uncomfortable in civilized areas if he must remain there for a while, or is enclosed in a building, but will do so if needed. Perhaps his greatest purpose is ensuring that nature and people do not come into conflict either by offering advice to those who risk awakening nature's wrath, or by standing as a bulwark between them when compromise fails. And should battle arise he becomes as ferocious as an enraged bear, lunging into battle with all the power of the beasts at his back.

Due to his preference for being outdoors, this Squire in oftentimes a little unkempt in his appearance with his fur sticking out in clumps and his feathers snarled, but he never seems to mind. His coloration is a dappled mid to dark brown, with small accents of golden here and there like sunlight splashing upon a tree with his rich emerald eyes as the leaves.

(Arcane Scroll Ability: A master in the wild, he moves as part of it, and all manner of animals respond to his voice as if hearing a trusted friend. They will never attack him, nor any he claims as allies. He also knows the secrets of plants, able to find sustenance even in the desert and healing from leaves, berries, and moss that even the Weyrhealer may not know about.)

The Quiet, Gentle Servant Male Squire Gryphon

Name: Moxie

Mindspeech: Bold #91e2ff

Gentle Servant has always enjoyed his role as support and backup to those around him. He's a warrior in his own right but not as powerful as others more suited and trained for those tasks, and it's given him a gentler, softer outlook and demeanor. Even his Mindvoice is often called gentle, warm and comforting to hear. He doesn't mind taking up any task assigned to him within reason and as long as he's not at the moment caught up in another task. This can sometimes lead him to be burdened with an abundance of work, and as a Gryphon who enjoys helping others it can leave him no time to take care of himself beyond the basics of food, cleanliness, and (sometimes) sleep. Thankfully he had a beloved to point out to him when he's lacking one or the other and making sure he gets them.

Gentle Servant stands a proud six feet tall at the shoulder give or take a feather or two. He's a uniform dusty blue-gray color though the feathers of his wings are bright emerald green. His eyes match his feathers, and he has a mock 'mane' of longer feathers that he wears along his neck, a family quirk he picked up from his mother that he shares with his Blade brother.

Share The Holidays With Loved Ones Glitter Naiad Nadur

Name: Sparkle



Mindspeech: Italic #92dcf8

One never need feel a lack of affection with this Nadur around, because she's the most loving, cuddly thing you've ever met. Her rank is known for their healing skills, a talent she was well trained in, but her specialty is curing people of the ailments of depression, sorrow, loneliness, and anything relating to such. She knows all manner of remedies, from holistic to therapeutic to simple comfort foods and warm blankets. When all else fails she'll even see if the weight of a warm, friendly deer in the lap will help. Hug until feeling better, repeat as necessary.

Standing just over four feet tall she's a light brown in color with a pale blue streak down her muzzle and down her throat and belly. Also along her shoulders are thin, interweaving lines like ripples. But even more showing is a pink, glittery bow and arrow framed by a heart on both hips. Just in case you weren't sure as to her affectionate nature.

Like A Snowflake Dancing In The Air Glitter Fawn Nadur

Name: Stellar



Mindspeech: Bold #f4e400

Dancing comes quite naturally to Fawn Nadur. It hardly matters the style or occasion, they are capable of showing themselves well. But some do tend to have a favorite kind of music to dance to our step to perform and he's no different. His favorite genre of music is holiday carols! He'll happily rock around the Christmas tree or elegantly away to Silent Night and invite you to join in if you're up for it. Even when he walks he seems to dance, prancing with each step.

He is a deep chocolate color with green speckles across his flanks and beneath his sapphire eyes which he'll never outgrow much to his enjoyment. Twisting up each leg are criss-crossing bands of yellow glitter like a ballet dancer and he has always enjoyed how they shimmer when he dances.

Adorable And I Know It Male Tributary Zaithand

Name: Posie

Mindspeech: Color=#eea996

Ah, those big puppy-dog eyes, staring up at you from a face bearing an expression of adoration and hopeful want for whatever you happen to have or whatever they want in that moment in life, impossible to resist for many.

Now put that expression on an autumn-colored water-cat, and you have I Know It in a nutshell. This Zaithand has those perfect cherubic features and body language that endears him to those around him and often gets him his way or whatever he wants. Be it food, attention, cuddles, a place in your bed, a new trinket or toy or other object... there are few who can resist his charms for long, and he well knows it. Thankfully, he's not malicious with his manupulative streak, or the entire weyr would likely be in trouble!

Like other Tributary Zaithand I Know It sports a primary brown pelt with gold and reddish highlights. In his case his pelt is a mottling of shades all shades of brown that fade from one to another smoothly, overlain with thin ripples of gold and brown-red lines. It almost gives him the appearance of sunlight through fall-garbed trees onto a leaf-laden lawn. Add into that big baby blue eyes and you have a face anyone could fall in love with.

The Eternal Student Male Shore Zaithand

Name: Cornelius

Mindspeech: Italics #0106b5

Life is big, vast, unlimited in variety and locations and Things To See and Do. You can ask all the questions you want and find all the answers you can and still not unearth even a small percentage of everything.

But that doesn't stop Eternal Student from trying!

Being a Shore Zaithandi it should come as no surprise that he is curious. Thankfully he tempers his curiosity with an innate scientific method. Despite his youth he has learned as one of his first realizations that just asking questions willy-nilly about this, that, and everything that catches his attention actually gets him very little by way of understanding. So he is a firm believer in the Scientific Method. He will choose a topic (sometimes daily) and systematically go through a series of questions, finding out the answers. Repeat the next day. Granted, Eternal Student is also making notes on other subjects during this (for example, while looking up 'rainbows; he might make a note on rain or thunderstorms). Be prepared to have books and papers scattered everywhere!

Eternal Student is a bit of a paunchy Zaithand. While they are jaguar-like as a rule his mostly-sedentary habits - reading, note keeping, perusing bookshelves, listening to experts, etc - have led to him getting a little less exercise than some and keeping very odd hours, not conductive to a trim figure. Thankfully it's not enough to hinder his daily life, just a little more to cuddle. He had his breed's typical webbed paws, spine fin, and shark-finned tail, and in his case being male the dual horns on his face. His hide is primarily a fine, scholarly purple (or so he says) with red badger face markings. His sea-green eyes are always bright with intelligence, even if his lack of grammatical speech might make it seem otherwise.

If Not Us Then Who? Hope Giver Female Charity Unicorn

Name: Elanti

Mindspeech: Italics #52ea48

Everyone's had those moments when they've witnessed someone else in the world in some kind of need, whether it's a tiny need like a couple of cents to finish a purchase or something considerably more pressing like a good meal after days going without. There are some who would walk on by, not out of any kind of malice per say but more that 'someone else will do something. Surely someone else will.' Sometimes the need feels so great that it daunts the onlooker – how could one person make any difference?

Well, If Not Us says that if we aren't the ones to act, then who will? Why not us? After all for darkness to win in the world those of good heart simply have to do nothing, stand aside and let it happen. While she's aware that not everyone can do everything she believes that each person has something, big or small, that they can do to help improve the world around them especially when it comes to their fellow dwellers in this life. All you have to do it be willing to try, and reach out a hand. Don't worry if you're nervous; she'll help you along.

Slightly smaller in statue than average for her kind If Not Us stands four feet tall at the shoulder. To look at her might give the initial impression of a sunrise as she's a gentle pastel yellow with pale pink gracing her legs, belly, and throat with pale lavender dusting over her back. By contrast her mane and tail are more reminiscent of sunset as each lock is a different shade of rich purple, red, golden yellow, dusty pink and maroon, and deep blues. Perhaps it's an homage to her nature of charity from dawn to dusk. With these colors it makes her opal horn and hooves stand out quite beautifully. It is around her horn that her Hope Giver mutation has made itself known as it is as if a twist of pink ribbon was hung delicately on her horn, the trailing ends draping down her nose and falling aside beneath each emerald eye.

My Burden I Bear Alone Female Compassion Unicorn

Name: Valrei

Mindspeech: Italics #33FFBD

Being a 'Confession Unicorn' is not always an easy burden to bear. I Bear Alone, as Compassion Unicorns are known to do, has yet to hesitate to answer any call for consultation or to hear a person's final words. However she is a sensitive soul, perhaps far too sensitive for this calling. Often the words weigh on her and as per their creed she never reveals them to others meaning she can't ask for help from those around her. Nightmares are common for I Bear Alone during which she will see bits and pieces of the darker stories she's been told; depression also sometimes claims her for a few days especially after the bad dreams. But at the same time she always smiles, always comforts, always has a gentle word for others. Frisk and those who share Frisk as a Bonded are likely the only ones who know the depth of her struggles with her lot in life and even to them she can reveal nothing; the burdens of being a Compassion Unicorn, for all of its joys, is her own to bear alone.

I Bear Alone is a little bit larger for a Compassion Unicorn at an inch over the five foot average, but who's counting? She has the appearance of a full 'Heraldic Unicorn' with the leonine tail and split rose-gold hooves. Some might at first glance think she is white, but her coat actually has a very pale lavender sheen that reveals its true color under strong light. Her mane and the tuft on her tail, as well as the silky fetlocks that adorn her hooves, are dark berry purple and a matching 'stain' spreads across her back in a large, irregular patch almost like a physical representation of her invisible duty.

Let's Have A Riverside Picnic Male Riverine Hippocampus

Name: Spritz

Mindspeech: Italics 9a3816

This slightly rotund freshwater eel Hippocampus in warm browns and slate grey has a laidback, somewhat breezy outlook on life, preferring to look on the bright side and have some snacks than to worry too much about the finer details. In this, he forms something of a counterbalance to the worries of those around him, and will readily try to reassure and comfort those he cares about.

A fondness for food has seen him grow a little more portly than most Riverines, though not by too much, and he advocates regular snacks or extra meals to keep up morale and one's energy, and if need be will remind those around him to take breaks and look after themselves. There might be the occasional practical joke or act of mischief, but he's careful not to go too far.

-----------------------------------------------

Treasures of the Deep Male Pelagic Hippocampus

Name: Fathom

Mindspeech: Bold #007c45

Sunken ships, oyster pearls, beautifully smoothed stones and water-polished glass. These are just some of the many treasures that the ocean has to offer to those that know how to find them, and Treasures of the Deep knows well their secret locations. For a long time he sought out these jewels for his own personal collection as he didn't have anyone to share his enthusiasm with, carefully stored in an underwater cave he keeps concealed by a thick curtain of living seaweed. Then by chance he saw a stone that fell from the heavens into the water. It glimmered with metallic accents and he dove to get it. Upon turning surface-ward however he saw a shadow flying back and forth above. Someone else had seen the falling star and was seeking it. Breeching the Hippocampus spied the most beautiful Pegasus he had ever seen and without hesitation, for the first time ever, surrendered his newfound trinket to her. Over the weeks and months they came together often to display new finds and older glories, bonding over their shared love of these treasures and the hunt to find them, and before either knew it the fondness had turned into love. They spend hours at the beach together and give one another special treasures as love tokens. Treasures of the Deep considers that fallen star - half of which he keeps in his undersea grotto - his greatest find, as it gave to him his greatest treasure ever, his beloved Breeze.

Treasures of the Deep is a Hippocampus that is more half-and-half than others. His front (or upper, depending on his current physical orientation) is equine with a horse's head and forelegs, though in place of a mane is a vertical, translucent sea green fin running from the crest of his head down to the midpoint of his back. Like fetlocks a long, flowing, sea-green fin trails behind each hoof. The rest of him recalls the sea like a dolphin's tail, thick with a horizontal tail so that all who see him swim know at a glance that he's a mammal, not a fish. He's a dark gray creature, nearly black, with white triangular patches across his shoulders and a white underside speckled with black. His horse legs have white socks with black hooves and his tail is like a whale's in that it is marked with black and white in a clearly identifying pattern. A white band starts on one eye, encircles the back of his head, and concludes on the other eye like an open-front halo.
