To Protect What I Cherish Female Wolpertinger Fawnfrost
Mindspeech: #ead2aa
When their world was virtually falling apart around them it was Fawnfrost that held everyone together as long as she could, leading what remained of the Colony to Haven Village where they could seek places to hide. It was simply the latest in a long line of wide decisions that have always been for the betterment of her family. She's just that way: when she takes someone to heart she puts her mind to figuring out what's best for them and then goes about doing that, whether it's by delegating tasks or taking them upon herself. She's much more a mind that a fighter, but when her back's to the proverbial wall she'll throw down with kicks and bites and more tricks than you can shake a celery stalk at!
She is among the larger of the Lepicerin at close to a three and a half feet tall at the shoulder. She is two-toned with white around her neck and shoulders, on her belly and paws, as well as on her mouth and forming a triangle up her nose. Otherwise she is brown everywhere else. Her wings are white with several thin, brown bands across them, and her antlers are also brown. Like all Wolpertingers she sports a fine pair of sharp canines.

Can't Spell Success Without Failure Female Viper
Unfortunately for most everyone around her, this young 35-inch puff adder is rather accident-prone. However, even in the face of her mistakes and missteps, she always makes the effort to keep up a positive attitude. She is a firm believer of the philosophy that you can't succeed without failing, and she's not going to let her failures stop her. She's very encouraging and always willing to pick someone up if they've fallen down verbally if not necessarily physically. She's also big on physical affection and doesn't need any reason to snuggle up with her bonded or other members of her bonded's den. Like several others of the same rank, she is primarily nocturnal and sluggish during the daytime, but one might not immediately recognize it because she possesses a great deal more energy than the average viper during the day. She also prefers ambushing prey though she can be unfortunately prone to missing and smacking her head into a tree.
Never Was There Ever A Cat So Clever Male White Magatama Mitsuke
Mindspeech: #5d5d5d
The youngest of the Nekomata present - not quite a kitten and not quite an adult - Mitsuke is at first easy to overlook given his small stature and pure black coat. He is quiet, which may lead to the assumption that he is shy, but he is known for his penchant for harmless pranks. He is capable of throwing his voice and making it sound like he is somewhere else, for instance, and making household objects disappear only for them to reappear a week later in the most unconventional of places. However, he is still coming into his own magical abilities and therefore said abilities don't always necessarily work. Despite having the attention and respect of Teppei, the younger tom acts hardly interested in anything he has to say, though this might be more to keep Teppei interested in him due to having a keen idea of how he operates. His coat occasionally seems to sparkle, perhaps due to the powerful magic that flows through him as a white magatama Nekomata, but all it takes is a blink to miss this unusual occurrence. Occasionally, when he's experiencing extreme emotion, even the elements themselves seem to bend to his will.

Hear Me Roar Female White Mottle
Snowdrop (gift from Shy)
This girl is small and that's an understatement even for white firelizards, she is very much a tiny but lovable creature. She likes to be seen but her size can make that difficult, she is a firelizard that loves her size and the way that things are. She is a pure white color with hints of others in her hide but those are vague and rather unimpressive hints.
This girl is very much one that won't stop in her own way of doing things, she likes to stand by her own way of life. She is a creature that understands the value of money and she will stash her bonded's money until they need it and that means she will always be there when it's needed. She has her own method for helping them to save up and to do things that make them a bit better at what they already do. She is a wily and intelligent creature that wants to help her bonded and the rest of those she shares them with who or whatever that may be.
No matter what though this girl will always give back when others help her and she will demand loudly that her bond do the same. She doesn't let anything no matter how large or scary terrify her, she will face it down even as she feels terror in her heart. She is much more about impressing others in other ways so that maybe, just maybe they'll help her to stay alive. She is an able diplomat at least as far as firelizards can be, but she does do her best.
My Roots Shall Last Eternal Female White Dragon
Mindspeech: Underlined #37a7fe
The bond between that of higher beings, both deeply in love, is not something to be taken lightly. No one knows this better than she, except perhaps the one she had long since given her heart to. Despite the abyss of lost souls that have torn them apart, she alone knows the depth of Ashen's regret for she has felt it herself. It was what originally caused the two of them to agree to an evacuation of their lands and how they were torn apart.
As it turns out, wyrms are not quite the only ones who can undergo metamorphosis.
Befitting the form she used to possess, Eternal is pure white from nose to tailtip and quite large for her size. Her eyes are a brilliant blue and her horns curl like the tree branches that formerly rested atop her head, extended just as far as she was tall and making her more than a little top-heavy. But she does not have to deal with that burden now and her vision has cleared enough for her to see anew and to behold the face of her much-beloved soulmate as well as the faces of the young vessels she can at long last acknowledge as the children she so longed for. Even though her attempts to be a good mother to them might not be enough to undo the harm that both she and her wyrm might have wrought, she is unwilling to let things stand as they are now that she has a chance to right her wrongs.
One might think it would be a surprise, to find oneself in a form that they are unfamiliar with much less in an entirely new world. However, she does not begrudge her new form one bit - after all, it was she who would carry Ashen in her arms on more than one occasion, and her current form still allows him to nestle down amidst her branching horns or curl up on her back between her wings. Despite her new form allowing for flight, she prefers to remain on the ground as she was not originally meant to take to the skies along with her soul mate, and it's difficult for her to shake old habits or even sometimes forget that she has wings - and a tail, for that matter - as she previously possessed neither and is still adjusting to her new appendages.
Neither as dragon nor higher being has she lost her touch for flora-based magic, however. Plants sprout in her wake and extreme emotion often causes flowers and vines to grow wildly unchecked. Because of this she is not prone to displays of extreme emotion and very rarely ever gets angry. Typically she is a calming presence and, with her experience in her previous life, has more than enough experience to recognize when Ashen is becoming overwhelmed or delving far too deeply into his own dark thoughts. Naturally, she has many methods she can use to distract him when this occurs - most of which involve her cutting things short and pulling him close for all of the affectionate cuddles he can handle and then some.

I'll Put You Back Together Female Puzzle Sphinx
Amaltheia
Mindspeech: #386f25
It's one thing to know how to disassemble, let alone reassemble, a broken machine. It takes a gentler touch to put someone else back together, to mend their broken pieces and make them whole. I'll Put You Back Together is one sphinx that practices this gentle touch, and has helped countless others through their trauma. Healing can be a long and arduous process, but she is guaranteed to be with Lumen every step of the way. She will not judge him for his actions nor will she spread the secrets of his sins. She is here to help, not hinder, and if he can finally make peace with himself as well as what he has done then she will consider her mission accomplished. As with most Puzzles, of course, she also enjoys putting together physical objects and her favoured type is jigsaw puzzles - the more pieces there are, the better. In terms of appearance she is around four feet and five inches tall at the shoulder, her fur a dark reddish-brown that matches her wings. Her wings are primarily red, albeit barred with dark green and speckled with yellow, with her wingtips being black in colouration.
This Is Still Your Life Female Pearl Sumine
Meghan
Taking the form of a ragdoll cat to better match with her beloved sphinx, this sumine boasts the calm nature associated with both the breed in question and her rank. She's quite intelligent, of course, at least in terms of her empathy - whenever Lumen is having a particular bad day she will hop up into his lap and begin to purr. Petting isn't required, of course, but it is preferred. And whenever she isn't providing comfort to her bonded she can be found underneath one of her mate's wings either in animate or inanimate form. Despite not being able to speak she is capable of being able to understand commands a little better than other sumines might, and can fetch items that Lumen might require. Regardless of any wrongs Lumen might have committed in the past, she is here to remind him that he still has a life to live and that he can use that life to come to terms with and forgive himself for any wrongs. After all, that is the first step to begin healing. She weighs roughly eight and a half to nine pounds so she's not overly heavy as far as felines go, though she can be rather reluctant to move once she's gotten comfortable.

Do not Just See, Observe! Male A'trom Nympkin
Arien
Mindspeech: Bold #424b59
Ever since he was a tiny newborn pup, so young his eyes weren't yet open. Observe heard stories from his mother about someone who had the most amazing ability. He could just by looking at a person tell intimate details about their life, right down to what they'd eaten earlier in the day! He used it to solve crimes and find people. Still blind, he couldn't help but be dazzled by the wonders of that thing he had yet to experience called sight. When his eyes opened for the first time and he saw the glorious world he decided on the spot that he would follow in the detective's footsteps. Now, after taking the time to hone his art, Observe has acquired the same keen senses that his hero possessed. He can look at others and infer many details about their lives, even things that they might have considered secret. He can put together the most minute of this and that and complete a whole picture of what happened and why. It's a skill that he's quite proud of. But in learning how to truly observe the world around him he lost sight of those who inhabited said world. His social skills are sorely lacking. He's awkward in conversations and often focuses on impersonal facts and told honesty, without the softness that some situations require. It can frustrate those around him, especially those whom he calls loved ones even if never out loud, but he'll simply never be a social butterfly. He's sacrificed a personable disposition for the powers of the mind, and it's a trade he's quite happy with.
With a small nod towards the era of his favorite stories Observe simply loves Old Fashioned Candy, in all its forms and flavors. Plus the tins are highly collectable.
Observe's sleek fur coat is the rich color of plums with black swirls along his shoulders. His eyes are not the watery gray of his hero, but still a very pale blue that seem to look right through you. He's a long, lanky Nympkin at a full two and a half feet long nose to tail but barely twelve pounds and no matter how much he eats - aside from his Candy he is a finiky eater - he won't really gain an ounce. His deer antler like horns look to be made of a dark wood complete with black-brown striations, but they're firmly attached between his ears. His ability to camouflage his surroundings help with watching others for extended periods of time unnoticed, or be unnoticed by others who want to intrude on him when he wants to be alone.

Count To Ten, Now Start Again Puzzle Box Mimic
Puzzle Box Mimics are clever as far as mimics go, and this one is no exception though it does seem to possess a sort of fondness for games of hide and seek. But as this is a puzzle box, it's not enough for them to simply take an object and hide it in another room, oh no. Using its knowledge of how to manipulate its environment, it won't hesitate to turn rooms into mazes of varying types and each maze is equipped with a different solution than the last to keep Exile on his toes. Though these mazes are occasionally equipped with barriers that need to be deactivated and dead ends, they lack traps...but only when Exile is the one doing the playing. This puzzle box at least recognizes that it would be bad to bite the hand that feeds it, both metaphorically and literally. The puzzles it comes up with do at least have the benefit of keeping Exile's focus on other things when he's feeling particularly down in the dumps to the point where even his other critters can't get a rise out of him, and his mind sharp. Maybe it's not all bad that he has to constantly search for missing bits and bobs? Appearance

I Just Want Love Female Nuclear Cuddlebug Athid
Mindspeech: Color #e5a146
Coruscant
For a long, long time, the truth of her rank has hung heavily over Love's spirit. Nuclear Athid were dangerous. They caused harm to those they were around for extended periods of time. Plants wilted. Animals sickened. What kind of cruelty was this for a heart - albeit mechanical - that feels it was made with so much love to give. She secreted herself away as much as she could, mostly in places of stone because at least she couldn't hurt that, right? But then Love met Ashen and she received the shock of her life: not only did she suddenly have more energy to run and move about, but her radiation didn't sicken them!
In fact it was revealed that she lacked a proper nuclear core. It could only produce just enough energy to keep her going and now that she has Ashen she doesn't produce any at all! Oh the joy! Granted she's still jittery and jumpy from her previous life of always being on the lookout, avoiding those she might accidentally hurt, but at least with Ashen she's found her smile.
She doesn't quite have as much obscure knowledge as some of her kind but she's still a young Athid and there's time to learn.
Love is a sleek insect with the shape of a very large ant. Stretching a foot and a half long she is very shiny chrome with round LED eyes that change display shape and colour based off of her emotion and intent (pink hearts, blue tears, yellow exclamation points, and a variety of happy little ^ ^ eyes just to name a few). Oh! A Duel Then! Male Foil Meowlure - Alois
Speech:Italics #040078
Some see Duel coming and look around, wondering who it will be today. He takes his rank's tendency to love challenging anyone and everyone with a flippant kind of seriousness. Whenever he goes out for a jaunty stroll, ensuring he's as fashionable as he can be, should he find any reason to call someone out he will. It doesn't matter whether they've insulted him (or he believes they have) or they look like a fun challenge to test his skill against, or they're the initiator and taking all comers, he's drawing blade and calling 'en garde!'
Unless there's no other way he never fights to the death; simply to first blood or the surrender of one combatant or the other will do especially if it's a bout with a friend. This happens to be how he met his beloved Sharpblade; he overheard someone saying how fearsome Sharpblades were and he wanted to find out for himself. She just happened to be the first Sharpblade he encountered. It must've been Aeon's will (or a kind twist of the IF) that he stumbled upon a Sharpblade that not only appreciated the fun of a fight but knew how to pull her punches at the end. He's a merry heart who rarely takes things seriously aside from his continual training with his foil, instructing others in the fine art of fencing, or ensuring that when doing either he looks amazing.
Duel has short, velvety blue-gray fur much like a Russian Blue with sparkling blue-green eyes. He's quite proud of his long, smooth tail and triangular, upright ears with their dusty pink insides. One can always tell when he's about to challenge someone when his darker blue-gray nose twitches and his whiskers quiver with excitement.
His boots are highly decorated and kept well-polished; both the black leather, the silver buckles across the top of the foot, and the buckles that hold a leather strap around his calf are always shiny and he will never let a single stitch on the multiple folds of the cuff to be frayed. His chosen foil at first glance looks by comparison shockingly plain with a straight, well-polished and maintained blade lining up with the pommel and grip, all formed of one piece of metal. But that is a high misconception; the cupped guard that protects his hand is carefully engraved with delicate, and beautiful, scrollwork that he brags was custom made for him.
Ready for a Rumble Female Fan Sharpblade
Mindspeech: Bold #7400ff
Alonza
Rumble's love language is clearly physical contact. She… just puts a very Sharpblade twist on it. Though she's quite content with cuddling (especially with her cherished Meowlure mate) she much prefers to get somewhere with lots of room and fight. Yes, fight. Not like lethal blood combat where someone gets hurt. More like wrestling, battering with her tail, fencing with her leg talons, head butting and shoving.
Every contact is her saying 'I love you, I cherish you, you make my life amazing.' Granted, there are few who really understood that for a long time and she came off as just another aggressive Sharpblade. Then a plucky little Meowlure with a pair of fancy boots of all things challenged her to a sparring match, just to see how strong Sharpblades were. He was agile and quick and their contest ended in a close victory for Rumble simply due to her tail. He claimed a rematch on another day which she happily accepted, glad to have met someone who simply wasn't afraid of her claws and teeth.
One rematch turned into two, then five, then a weekly session that blossomed into affection and love. Now that she has Ashen as well she's quite content (and she only lightly taps him with her tail; he's more delicate, she feels)
