Meet the family!


Siesha (Mama): Siesha left her home pack as a newly grown adult. Her old pack was one that danced all aspects of life. She was one of the most promising up-and-coming dancers, but all she had known in her life was joy and delight, contentment and well-being. So she decided to go and brave the roguelands so that she could experience and learn of the darker parts of life, the better to dance them.

Needless to say, she never did return to her old pack. She wandered for quite a long time, seeing and experiencing things both lovely and unpleasant. Eventually she became friends with a mute lioness, and together they danced their way to Nchi.

Siesha is a very up-beat and cheerful girl. Even during the darkest times, she is able to find the silver lining. She bears no regrets, harbors no ill will, and can find peace and contentment within herself no matter where she is. Now that she has her daughters to look after, she has discovered how complete life can be. She loves all three with all her heart, and would gladly sacrifice herself or put aside her own needs to make them happy and healthy.


Al-Hattal (daddy): As the god of Rogues, he tends to sire many many babies, but never returns to involve himself in their lives. He will not be a part of things aside from siring them. His being their father, however, does mean all three puppies (aside from the hyena, of course) are seers.


User Image
Tarian (Aunt Tari): She lost her own litter of cubs some time ago, but keeps this sadness to herself most of the time. She hasn't spoken a word since, though she makes plenty of noises, such as wordless cooing, purring, growling, etc. She is positively delighted that her best friend has given birth to puppies, and will dote upon each of them as if they were her own. If they catch her with a sad, wistful tear in her eye from time to time, it is no wonder. Her life is good now, but she still keenly remembers the unspeakable time when her cubs died.


User Image
Sucana (sister): A joyful puppy, she prefers to see the brighter side of things. For reasons unknown, Sucana whispers when she talks. However, when she sings, her voice is strong and clear, soaring easily loud enough to be heard at a distance. Siesha speculates that Sucana is so very full of happiness that she must whisper for the intensity of it.


User Image
Gosset (hyena brother): This pup was stumbled upon by Sucana after the pups were introduced to the pride. She brought him home to Mama because he was lost and said he was a wild dog like she was. Since her sisters were the only wild dog pups she knows, she brought him home happily. Gosset truly does believe he is a wild dog, no matter what anyone tells him. He is chipper and thick-headed, so Siesha has decided to adopt him and raise him as if he were indeed her own. He has no idea what happened to his previous family, but feels right at home with his new mother, sisters, and aunt.

Purple Girl! Will you enter for her?


User Image
White Girl! Or is this girl the one you like best?



All in all, this is a very mixed up family! Three species all blended into one loving group. They love their pride, love to sing, but most especially love to dance.

RULES


1. Follow Tos and shop rules
2. These pups should remain in the pride until their drum quest. I would really love it if they stayed after that as well, but I understand how plots can crop up.
3. No evil, aggressive, or insane personalities please. IC reasons for spite or sullenness or other negative personality quirk are acceptable, but within reason please.
4. One entry per person. You can only win one pup, but one entry gives you a chance at both puppies.
5. Please be truthful when entering!
6. You may not have received an Al-Ha baby in the last month. (I want to spread the Al-Ha love!)
7. Siesha and Tari are not a homosexual couple. The puppies will not be homosexual either. This will be grounds for my re-homing them.



How This Works!

Enter for the pup you like best. All entries will be judged mainly by the song chosen and the explanation of how it applies to the puppy. The rest of the form will also contribute, but less so. So choose your song carefully!

I will choose the entry I like best, regardless of which pup it is for. Once that winner is determined, ALL other entries will be raffled for the other pup. Essentially, it means you have a chance at either pup, regardless of which you enter for.

Winning a pup comes with stipulations. The puppies need to stay with momma until they leave on their drum quest. If your pup knows ahead of time that they won't be coming back, Siesha would really love to know that so she can say a proper goodbye. (No pup-napping, no wandering off previous to the drum quest.)

I would love to see their seer abilities developed, as well as have their relationships with their mother, brother, and aunt developed, but I also know how life can be. Lack of rp won't be grounds for the puppy being given to anyone else, it would just make Tal sad! ::sniffle::

Still interested? Fill out the form and try your luck!

ENTRY FOR WHITE PUP!


Name and Meaning: Haiku'Divya > Short and sweet divine brilliance
Personality: Very much her mother's daughter, Haiku'Divya feels a connection to the world around her and all those in it like beautiful music, she expresses that flow of energy she hears through dance. Though she's not fearless, nor the most talkative cub Haiku is a good listener and a great wonderer. Adventure is a rock thrown into the pond of life and excitement are the ripples, without which one couldn't possibly have much fun but she doesn't exactly go looking for trouble (sometimes it finds her). She's quick to trust and has a large, loyal heart with lots of love to give. When she's an adult, she'd probably be her mother's best friend.

Link to this pup's song: Andrea Bocelli- Con te Partiro
Why does this song represent this pup?: She's very connected and dedicated to her family and she has the heart of a delicate explorer.The music is grace and agility which is exactly represent how she would feel when she's dancing for herself.
How does her seer ability work?: Plan A: I'd like to work with one of the sisters so they work off of each other or only have a vision after the other does or something fun like that. Plan B: Her abilities are moderate and presented in the energy she feels, she'll hear/feel faint various rhythms when coming across different creatures (accept for cheetahs, oddly) that gives her a mostly accurate judgment of character, increasing as she gets older.

Did you receive any Al-Hattal offspring within the last month?: Nope
Do you own any seers?: Nope
If so, how many?:

ENTRY FOR PURPLE PUP!


Name and Meaning: Dreizehn [name from Petshop of Horrors - thirteen in German]
Personality: Dreizehn is one that's free. She believes that the love is a powerful thing and that you should only love someone if you truly believe that they are the one for you. Though she's a girl, she often hides her feminine side and would die for her family and love (well, when she gets one of course!)
Link to this pup's song: Spirit: Stallion Of The Cimarron - Expanded Score Soundtrack
Why does this song represent this pup?: It's quiet and gets loud and exciting, just like her her life should be. There's always ups and downs in life, and she'll just have to deal with them.
How does her seer ability work?: She'll be lacking the knowledge that she even possesses a skill, until adulthood.

ENTRY FOR WHITE PUP!


Name and Meaning: Sofija (means “wisdom”)
Personality: Sofija is a bit slow when it comes to learning things. If it is anything besides music or dancing, she will struggle to get a handle on it. Perhaps it was because she hit her head shortly after being born. Despite her learning disability, Sofija is a very eager learner, always wanting to try new things. She is enthusiastic and can be quite loud when she gets too excited. If she gets too excited, she trips over her words in trying to get it all out.
Link to this pup's song: While My Guitar Gently Weeps – Jake Shimabukuro
Why does this song represent this pup?: This song represents Sofija because when she hears music or plays any kind of musical instrument, she feels it all the way to her very soul. It becomes a part of her and the dancing or instrument becomes an extension of herself. Dancing and music is not just a form of expression for her, it is the very blood that flows through her veins.
How does her seer ability work?: Sofija's visions will be rare but powerful. At most, she'll have one vision a year but all her visions will be of major things to come. Her visions will leave her completely drained for about a day due to the nature of her visions and how strong they are.

Did you receive any Al-Hattal offspring within the last month?: No
Do you own any seers?: No
If so, how many?: N/A

ENTRY FOR PURPLE PUP!


Name and Meaning: Myrna; meaning "Beloved" in Gaelic
Personality: Even if she is loved by her mother and father and family, she always shares her love with one another in and out of their family. She makes others feel like family, treats them like family and always tries to make them happy.
Link to this pup's song: Xandria - Like a Rose on the Grave of Love (Lyrics)
Why does this song represent this pup?: how love can be expressed by another's heart if they have a feeling for one another but with a rose it can express if their love is darkened or enlightened.
How does her seer ability work?: When she sees others in love she can then see the variations of how strong it is till she then sees the variations of how much they want to say it but can't and that is when she must help unless its to darkened then she goes into great illness.

Did you receive any Al-Hattal offspring within the last month?: no.
Do you own any seers?: no
If so, how many?: none

ENTRY FOR WHITE PUP!


Name and Meaning: Panya (mouse, Swahili)
Personality: Panya's a cheerful and upbeat girl like her mother. In fact, she's so much like her mother that she looks forward to her drum quest as a way to get away from Siesha! Not that she has anything but love for her mother, but still. Life's all about finding your own rhythm and Panya believes that she hasn't had a chance to find hers yet. She looks forward to the chance to see who Panya is.
Link to this pup's song: Shorty and the EZ Mouse
Why does this song represent this pup?: The song is about a younger girl, the mother's youngest or only child, who is just trying to get out from under the overprotective mom and be herself. The music is upbeat and positive even though the girl is at odds iwth the mother, reflecting the kind of relationship I'd see the two as having.
How does her seer ability work?: Panya's ability manifests itself in dreams of the past. They aren't common for her, but they show something that happened on the spot where she's sleeping, usually an emotional scene that left some sort of metaphysical impact on the spot.

Did you receive any Al-Hattal offspring within the last month?: Not in the last month. >>; But I do have one in general.
Do you own any seers?: Yes.
If so, how many?: 9
