Let the Parties of Today Brighten the Winter Male Glitter South Hippogryph

Mindspeech: Bold #096209

To say that celebrations are a part of the holiday season is like saying the desert is hot. It's just a given, and the part that this rather energetic Hippogryph, middle offspring of the three Glitter Hippogryph siblings, supports. Celebrate the now, live in the moment! Enjoy each second as it comes to its absolute fullest because that second is one that will never come by again the exact same way. To those that might not quite be able to fully grasp how important such celebrations are he's more than happy to educate them, usually by sharing his own enjoyment and getting them to join in our at least watch others having fun. He's also often teamed up with his sister, Memories are Born in the Golden Past Female Glitter East Hippogryph, to help sometime find their holiday spirit but when even he can't reach them they call their elder brother, Heed Past and Present Joys Lest Your Heart Become a Tomb Male Glitter Night Hippogryph, as a last resort.

Just as emotional as South Hippogryphs are known to be he strays a bit more into the joyous region of emotion unless someone outright insults a celebration or someone's right to enjoy it in which case he's explode like a firework! To be sure if you're planning a party this who you'll want to help plan it.

One might think of the merry flames of the Yule log at the sight of him; certainly he is fire sprung from the hearth. His body is slightly varying shades of red with slightly lighter plumage and mane that are tipped with yellow. By contrast his eyes show a surprising emerald shade, a bit of an oddity for his rank though that might just be another mark of his glitter mutation as on his hips shimmers a green holly wreath, a yellow band with indistinct edges circles his neck and shoulders like a mock fur collar, and in his mane and feathers are orange flecks like sparking embers.

Road Trip! Road Trip! I Call Shotgun! Spark Phoenix

The adage goes that in life the journey is just as important (if not more so) than the destination. Typically this is meant in a more metaphorical sense but when it comes to the summertime tradition of the road trip it can often turn literal. With routes from point A to B having side trips and attractions every several miles by the time you reach your goal you've already gotten quite a plethora of excitement and memories for your time.

To a certain Phoenix this is the entire point of the thing. Regardless of the destination he's very ready to jump a-dragonback or into a wagon or even use the power of his own wings and go, go, go! But he's not three kind to rush through things; quite the opposite. When he's along for the ride you can expect to be sidetracked on a regular basis took anything interesting or of even the tiniest note. It can even be something he's seen before, in which case his enthusiasm comes from showing the attraction to those who may not have seen it or seeing what's changed since his last visit. At least he's certain to make any journey interesting and as a nice side effect it's very hard for him to get lost, even from the ground; he just knows if he sees this or that thing what direction other things or locations are in. But let him plan the route at your own risk! He's likely to add a few extra miles to sightsee.

A feather over four feet tall he certainly displays a possible physical reason his rank were named 'Sparks,' and in his excited wing fluttering he often sheds a free tiny motes of flame. He is mostly a bright neon orange with an equally bright neon yellow belly and underside of his wings. Even in a well-lit room with his flames banked he's quite a day-glo bird.

Look On The Brightside - You're Roughly Six Feet Tall Male Blade Gryphon, Kenai

Mindvoice: Bold #F6839C

In an ideal world, there wouldn't be any sadness or people being mean to others for no reason - things would be butterflies and rainbows, if he had it his way. Unfortunately, this Blade knows that the world has some way to go before it can be the sort of place he wants for everyone, but that doesn't stop him from trying to brighten everyone's live with an eternal optimism. When we say eternal, we do mean eternal; nothing seems to knock this boy down for longer than five seconds, and even then that's a long while in this boy's life. Truth be told, he can border on looking mildly deranged with his wide eyes and beak parted in a smile. He can find the silver lining in just about everything you throw his way, and if he can't, then he will make something good from it; your favorite shoes got ruined with the rain? Then that just means you have room in your closet for new ones!

This Blade is the type to encourage you to always look on the bright side, saying things like You're only as tall as your heart will let you be! to try uplifting everyone around him. Of course, he isn't always annoying with his cheer and good natured ways; he can be quiet and gentle when needed, though it may take him a while to register that softer is what is needed for the situation. He will try to be your positive life coach if you allow him to be, getting you up at the early morning before the sun rises to get a good start to your day to encouraging you to eat healthy meals so you won't get so run down. He can be a little overbearing at times, just try to remember that all he wants is for you to look on the bright side whenever possible.

For the most part, the Blade is actually of average build for his rank - it's his height that's the problem, as he barely stands taller than any female he comes across. This only makes him more determined to look to the positive of everything, and if ever questioned on it, he will simply reply that he is fun sized for your convenience, smiling the mildly creepy smile he has all the while. His feathers are a rosy shade of pink that darkens closer to a deep cerise towards the end of every feather in the form of peppering speckles that almost seem to make shapes the closer the clusters are together. His feline half favors a puce shade that lightens somewhat along the backs of his legs and at the tip of his tail, while a single white band circles his ankles. The corner spike up in both the front and back, and there are two almost perfectly round spots just above the area it curves on the sides of his ankles, almost resembling smiley faces.

She’s got a pale almost yellow bronze with a darker greenish bronze markings across her body making it seem like waves. She has scales that run across her back and along to the tip of her tail, she’s a very pretty creature.

Personality: This girl is a sweet thing for the most part but she does take offense at being assumed to be male. She will not back down from this but she will fight anyone that thinks her male because she is not in fact male and she will absolutely prove herself as better than the normal bronze firelizards. She’s gentle and sweet to her bonded but she won’t back down from any threat or danger that comes against her Fair she wants to be able to keep them safe no matter what and make sure that she can protect her family. She’s got a fiery temper that won’t stop at anything to protect those that need it, she’s not overly temperamental or combative but she does not back down.

Majesty will always be the one that jumps into a fray and defends her bonded and those she shares with him. She wants to keep them safe and to make sure they stay close to her she does play with them though and she does like to play with the other firelizard she shares with Gabriel and she wants to keep her close at her side so that they are always safe and close at her side with each other.

Brilliance When Things are Darkest Hope Shines Brightest Female Hope Giver Purity Unicorn

Mindspeech: Italics #0df

Those who have lived on Teragaia long enough, or were born there, soon realize that there is one simple fact about living alongside the IF: You don't take it day to day. You take it minute to minute.

The capriciousness of the IF is well documented, and while it can be benign in its antics it can also be dangerous, causing tragedies from the natural – like earthquakes and floods – to the utterly unnatural and quite frankly even terrifying. Injuries, sicknesses, and the like are understandable results. And when disaster strikes you can be sure to eventually find Hope Shines in the vicinity, plying her powers to aid those in need.

Hope Shines is a very generous unicorn, not that such a trait is too surprising. Though her rank is known to have naïve streaks she is one of the exceptions that proves the rule. No, she's seen too much in her efforts to aid the weak and hurting. She'll wander through the sites of disasters until her otherwise pearly white coat is gray and brown with soot and dirt and her mane and tail are snarled from picking through debris for survivors. Then she'll linger around the infirmary, plying her powers to those she can aid and purifying waters and food tainted by the events. Hope Shines is known to work well with Mercy Unicorns, viewing them as the sorrowful other side of the same coin she exists on. When things are blessedly calm and her gifts aren't required Hope Shines is a sweet, gentle individual who of equally happy watching over youngsters, peacefully reflecting on the day, or spending quality time with Gabriel.

Hope Shines touches the extent of the unicorn height range at five foot at her shoulder. When she's not been at a recent disaster and is this clean her pelt, mane, and equine-like tail are pure white with a sheen to the hairs so that in strong lighting or in the sun she seems to have an inner luminescence, like a pearl. Her golden horn and solid hooves are nicely off-set in comparison. Her eyes are violet, and she bears a mutation in the form of a pink band looped once over itself, right in the middle of her chest.

Title here eventually, Guard
Appearance: Of all the Bonds of Gabriel this one stands out being a pale creamy shade of jade green. HE stands at about twenty hands tall and is of a good build for his size, he's closer in build to a draft horse than anything else. He has creamy white and mint in his mane and tail as a way of showing more color, he's closer to being almost white than true green.

Personality: This boy is up for anything enthusiastic and always willing to support Gabriel or anyone that Gabe is aligned with such as the weyr. The way this male takes care of others is another thing that makes him a very good match for Gabriel, he takes great pride in both himself and Gabriel especially the status of Gabriel as a Queenrider as well as his bonded. He is always willing to do whatever it takes to protect his Bond and keep him safe.
