Head In The Clouds, Heart In The Sky Male Krait
Mindspeech: Bold #540f0d
Aria.
The Living Archive Female Krait
A beautiful banded sea krait, this winged serpent spends quite a bit of her time in the water - thankfully, her feathers are waterproof so she can just shake off the droplets of water when she comes back up from hunting prey. She is a seeker of knowledge and is always happy to discover things that she didn't know before. With her eidetic memory, she is more than capable of retaining every ounce of knowledge that she ever learned and will learn in the future. She also has the tendency to take young of various different species under her wing, educating them in the ways of the world and what to expect when venturing out into the big wide world. Because of this she has earned herself the title of "teacher," a title that she wears with pride and she will even occasionally introduce herself as such. Unlike most of her kind she cannot keep her knowledge nor her tongue to herself, always eager to gush about new discoveries. She'll happily talk anyone's ear off about her findings if they're willing to sit still for long enough to listen to her, and she's very encouraging of others asking questions or for her to slow down if she's talking too quickly due to her excitement.
All Day She Sits Upon The Stairs Female Red Magatama Jun
Mindspeech: #ff6a00
At first glance, one might assume that Jun is a very lazy cat - she spends most of her time napping in the sunlight, after all, and it often takes great effort to rouse her. However, while she may be a layabout during the day, she personally sees to it that everything is kept in order at night. She's the feline equivalent of a Disney princess, with an affinity for communicating with rats, mice, even bugs and other household pests. These are what make up her eyes and ears throughout the household, and things that were left unfinished during the day somehow wind up done by the time the sun rises - clothes are folded and put away, small objects are repaired, holes are patched, and so forth. Though she is not quite as paws-on in terms of protection, she is an effective general who will lead her unusual troops into the fray if she feels it's necessary - not many intruders would be fond of mice and bugs swarming them, after all. She is also quite good with infants and toddlers as well as baby animals and shinies of all shapes and sizes. She also has the tendency take in orphaned kittens and nurse them herself.

I See the Weavings of Fate Male Saber Meowlure
Weaver of Fate is a nice size for a Meowlure at one foot, three inches tall including his triangular ears which he's particularly insistent on including in any height measurement, pointing to them should they be missed. He's all over gray with a white ring around his left eye and (darker?) gray tips to his dexterous fingers. His smooth tail is tipped by a white cap, often twitching back and forth. His eyes are golden brown and seem completely ordinary unlike some of his fellow Sabers. His simple brown boots lace up the front in many passes, as should be no surprise to anyone. His saber, which is his prized possession, is an elegant creation with a slight curve. The grip is wrapped in red leather and often a length of string, or several, as it happens to be.

Let the Children's Laughter Remind Us Male Spirit Familiar
Mindspeech: Italics #5c85e9
Though Spirit Familiars are typically smaller than their mundane counterparts, Laughter is the exception that proves the rule. His form is a literal giant fox. From nose to tail he stretches five feet long with another five feet of tail. His fur - perfect for jumping on or curling up against - is a pleasing mint green with a white underside and white tip to his tail. Curling butterfly antenna with sparkly balls on the tips bop from between his ears and ruffly, shimmery, prismatic frills run along the back of each leg. His vivid purple eyes sparkle constantly with good humor and mirth.
Fernand.
Mindspeech: Bold #540f0d
Being male, this red-headed krait is only about four feet in length. He's prone to daydreaming when he's not in the air, feeling the wind brush along his scales and ruffle his feathers. His wings are blue-gray in color and broken up with darker gray markings that have no particular pattern or shape. He can stay in the air for quite a long time and will do so until he's too worn out to do much more flying. Like most of his rank, he becomes more active during night and can be rather sluggish during the day, which often leads to him sleeping curled up next to his bonded or with his bonded's other creature companions. As he normally does his flying at night, he's developed a slight fear of owls due to one catching him and very nearly eating him - though the injury has long since faded, the memory of the experience stayed. He enjoys hunting small birds moreso than other snakes, but is happy to settle for other snakes if he happens to get hungry during the day since they don't require as much energy to hunt. He will often tag along with Moth regardless of his state of exhaustion though, as a constant reminder that they are not alone and they have someone willing to fight alongside them should things happen to get dicey.
Can You Hear The Crystals Sing? Female Garter
Aria.
Mindspeech: #fe3fcc
Clocking in at only twenty-one inches in length, this checkered garter snake has quite the fascination with crystals. They don't have to be valuable, they just have to be pretty. But regardless of what she might want them for, she will always insist that they can sing. She doesn't usually like leaving her crystal collection either, unless she's going out hunting for more crystals, and when she does this her bonded will usually be able to find her because she seems to enjoy singing along with the supposed song that the crystals produce. She's quite good at making up songs on the fly, and though crystal hunting may take her to dangerous areas to find the prettiest ones she's quite capable of burrowing deep enough to avoid danger. Perhaps it is the crystals themselves that have induced a form of madness in her for this garter to be so obsessed with them, but one can hardly deny her talent in finding such lovely gems. She will be found underground more often than above, and has yet to be seen using her wings to take flight despite having the ability to do so. It's difficult to deter her when she gets into 'crystal-hunting' mode, but gifts of crystals can put it off for a while.

I See the Weavings of Fate Male Saber Meowlure
Speech: None; whether by choice or inability he does not speak, though he can understand, gesture, nod/shake his head, etc just fine.
Name: Looptwist
String has long played a role in fate and its understanding. Old women have measured lives against its length. Red string ties together two people destined to be together. And of course string has an appeal to many of those of feline natures. Weavings of Fate is often seen playing with string. Sometimes he's playing string games between his hands. Sometimes he's tying and twisting it into intricate, beautiful knots. Sometimes he's even hand crocheting chains and loops. Why he does this he can't say; asking only gets a blank look and after several moments some redirecting of the question. When he makes knots or crochets he will sometimes give them as gifts, especially the knots, and those he gifts these two often have something of import happen to them. Good or ill seems to vary, but the more complex the knot or long the chain the larger the event will be. Playing string games seems to soothe him or entrance him as he's been seen moving the string between his fingers for hours, staring intently through the gaps and the patterns he makes, then he suddenly will drop the string, untie it so it's a single long piece, then twist and weave and make a knot or crochet chain. Sudden change out of boredom? Or did the strings reveal some secrets to their weaver?Weaver of Fate is a nice size for a Meowlure at one foot, three inches tall including his triangular ears which he's particularly insistent on including in any height measurement, pointing to them should they be missed.

Your Best Friend Genderless Steam Cuddlebug Athid
Mindspeech: Color #10d2b8
Deelybop
Best Friend is the type of Athid that wants to be everyone's friend, which is no surprise being a Steam. They're a personable mecha-creature. They're a good conversationalist, listening and speaking in turn and has a variety of interests so they can share activities with Moth. They just might want to stay up late chatting sometimes.
Best Friend has the whimsical appearance their rank is known for. Roughly one might call them a 'beetle' but their curled antenna have tiny balls on the tips like head boppers that bounce when they move. Their carapace is a shiny purple with hints of gold shimmer and the rest of their body's structure is coppery. When they open their carapace their wings are revealed; translucent crystal with silver 'veins.' These wings fold out much wider than Best Friend's body actually is and move like a hummingbird, meaning he can hover. When these wings are fully unfolded one can also see a gemstone-like disc where normally they would store the steam that would power them, but now only glows brightly when they're full of cuddle-energy. At the end of their legs instead of feet they have tiny copper wheels and they roll around more like a toy car rather than climb like an insect. Their eyes look more like faceted beads but they are fully functional.

Hesti
It's known that Vouta Volantil assist the Succube with their pups in the wild and with younger and smaller creatures. The wild is dangerous, especially for newborns and the young, and even in more domestic situations there are threats. At least that's how Midwife views things. Though she physically can't help with births you can be sure when the time comes she's standing by to protect the soon-to-be mother when she's vulnerable. Only those the mother/father permit nearby will be allowed and all others will be snarled away (or more forcefully if need be). But when it comes to said young ones her fearsome personality flips and she becomes gentle as a lamb. She can get climbed all over, get her ears or wings or tail pulled and she won't bat an eye. She's the ideal sitter when needed. Even total strangers can find their children under her watchful eye, such as at a park or nursery school setting. This was actually how she met her beloved mate; he was entertaining the young ones while she was keeping an eye on them, and saw how much the children loved his antics. Truth be told she enjoyed them as well, and after they ran into one another more and more their fondness grew to love.
With a fox-like head and body, wings for forelegs, canine hind legs ending in grasping claws and a towering nine feet height Midwife creates a fearsome visage when riled indeed! Her thick fur is midnight blue, surprisingly soft to the touch which is probably good for the young ones she's often around. Her ears are pointed and perfect triangles on top of her head, perfect for picking up the slightest sound of distress no matter how quiet. Her eyes literally look like flames, red in the middle shifting to a golden yellow on the edges of her iris; they are either warming like a hearth fire in the winter or a scorching blaze depending on her mood or whether or not someone has upset 'her children.'

Puck
For this Spirit Familiar, the laughter of the young - be they humanoid or Bonded - is the most cheerful, spirit-lifting sound (pun intended) and reminds those who hear what it is to be innocent, joyful, and kind. He gravitates to them, can always find where they might be playing and joining in to their games. He laughs easily and his laughter is quite often contagious. Perhaps it was this that first drew the attention of a certain Volantil child minder. Yes, at first she was hesitant to let the bouncy, laughing Spirit around her charges but first they bonded over their mutual care for young ones, then their friendship turned to affection. Now they're hardly apart, he entertaining and playing with the youngsters (and anyone else that wants to join in) while she watches over everything and keeps threats at bay.
