I'm Two of a Kind! Name: Msisimko Meaning: "excitement/excited" in Swahili. Personality: Msisimko is hyperactive and a chatterbox, quick to find the joy in life and slow to anger. She is perpetually happy and cheerful, but can be a bit rude and pushy in her attempts to persuade others to play with her. With a short attention span and a playful demeanor, she finds nearly everything interesting and can always find something new to interest her! Prompt Number: 4 with a touch of 2 Response:
Msisimko crouched low to the ground, trying to keep as quiet as she could - a difficult task for an exuberant cub! She had to go unnoticed, though, or her prey would get away. The bright tail feathers of the bird twitched once as it pecked at the ground, unaware of its stalker. The cub was nearly upon it now; she just had to get a little closer... a little closer... and.... now!
"Raaaoooowwwwr!"
The bird took flight, and all the little tan and blue lioness got was a face full of dirt and grass. "Awww, nuts," she huffed, and quickly rolled over onto her back, smiling up at the flying bird. "Bye-bye birdie, I'll get you next time!" She called cheerfully, before rolling back over and jumping to her paws. Gosh, there were so many fun things to do, no matter where they went! She hummed a happy tune under her breath as she padded along, then stopped as her paws neared a puddle and she saw her reflection in the water.
Thinking that it washer twin, she giggled an splashed at her reflection. "Hi Paulum! Did you see me almost get the bird? Did you?" When her reflection didn't respond, she frowned and splashed at it again. "Hey! Hey, I'm talking to you, Paulum, you're supposed to talk back you know!" She couldn't figure out why her twin wasn't answering - didn't she want to know about the bird Msisimko had almost caught? Paulum wanted to know everything, and Msi loved to tell her, so why wasn't she answering? This was kind of strange, and Msi frowned again and tried to pounce on the reflected cub, hoping to get a response that way if nothing else.
When her paws touched only water and mud, which splashed up around her and coated her with patches of dark brown, the miniature lioness realized her mistake. "Oops!" she said, and giggled. "Sorry mirror-me, I thought you were Paulum!" She loved her twin so much - talking to her, playing games with her, finding out secrets with her... it was just the best thing ever - but she shouldn't have gotten her mixed up with her own mirror image! Backing out of the puddle now, she waited until the water settled and smiled at her reflection.
"There, is that better mirror me?" Then she noticed the mud splashed over her form, and gave a shrill shriek of delight. Now she didn't look so much like Paulum - she was nearly as darkly furred as her other sister! "Oh boy, oh boy, I have to show them! Bye mirror-me, bye!" She chirped, and set off at a dead run to find all of her siblings and show them her wonderful new look.
Future Plots: Joining the swampies would definitely be something Msisimko would do - there's so much to learn about in the swamps, and there would always be something new to investigate and to do!
'You can't do that!' Msisimko has little concept of her or others' limitations, and I can see this getting her into trouble in the future, as she would gladly accept any dare, even one that would get her into danger of various kinds. Being told that it's something she can't do, either out of sheer impracticality or because of a set of rules, she would immediately take it as a challenge to go right out and do that - likely dragging her twin into trouble along the way!
'I'm not that much like her, am I?' - as she grows to juvenile and adolescent, Msisimko will begin to find her similarities to her twin less of a cool, best-friend-forever scenario and more of a nuisance, especially as she begins to strike out and attempt to form her own identity. It would start slowly, with mumbled protests about their similarity and grumpy looks, and eventually boil over into a mild feud, where she goes out of her way to react to absolutely everything in away she believes is opposite to how her twin would respond.
'I'll find myself' Most sisterly feuds can't last forever, and this one is no exception. Eventually, Msisimko will stop trying to be just the opposite of her sister and learn to embrace her true self, celebrating her differences from and similarities to her twin equally. As she grows more confident in her own identity and self-image, she will try to make her behavior up to her twin, and attempt to patch together the bond they had as small cubs.

Dreams can come true! Name: Aisling Meaning: Irish Gaelic name meaning "dream; vision." Personality: Aisling is a little dreamer with down to earth personality. She is one little determined female and will do whatever in her power to get what she want. If someone have an answer she needs, she will manipulate, sweet talk and coerce the answer out of that someone. She is extremely protective of her siblings and mother and will go the distance to protect them, even if that means to kill someone. When Aisling is around males, her charms gets turned on full blast and she becomes this playful flirt without even realize it. The flirty side is passed on from her father. Prompt Number: 1 Response: Aisling watches her brother Cordero whom is staying in near distance away from others because he's terribly shy and she feels a surge of protectiveness toward her brother. She might don't understand what it is like to be unsure and nervous around others but she does know what it is like to be different because she doesn't look like her other siblings, and Cordero is like that as well.
She feels more connected to Cordero than other siblings because she thinks she could balance him out just like he could balance her out. The female walks toward Cordero and crouches in a playful stance in front of him with a mischievous grin. She shall try to pull him out of his shell but at same time be his older sibling and best friend. In her opinion, he can calm her down and give her a new perspective from a introvert's side and she can excite him and get him to come out of his shell little bit while giving him a taste of what it is like to feel like he could laugh freely and enjoy himself with others.
There is a balance in everything and it seems like Aisling have found her yang/moon/darkness (not in bad way) in her brother Cordero.
"Cordero.. watch out." Aisling laughs as she leapt forward toward her brother.
Future Plots:
I am a flirt?: Since Aisling is a natural flirt and doesn't seem to realize that she is flirting with males and getting herself in trouble with those males. I want a male (or female) to force her to realize it and perhaps embrace that side
Don't worry, mama: She noticed her mother's uneasiness around males and her supar ability to hunt so she decides to step up. Aisling offers to hunt for her mother and siblings (if they want food handed to them) and help her mother deal with males. Aisling's goal is to help her mother overcome that uneasiness toward males.
Own up to your responsibilities, father: Aisling will seek her father out (hunt him down to be exact) when she's an adult and confront him about abandoning her mother to raise her and siblings alone. Either it will get resolved or Aisling will leave after disowning him and not considering him her father.
