So I decided I'd write down all my pets...
Replies
...and their genders, colors, names, and what they are/what they collect.
I now have a writing blister on my finger, it hurts, and it took be about a half hour because I kept getting wrist cramps. I guess my mind glossed over the fact that it would take a while to do all that for 32 pets, lol. Anyways, I wanted to do this because I'm trying to decide what to do with re-doing some pets and finishing off some others. I thought I'd put it all down here to get some opinions. Or just for the sheer hell of it. Yeah, probably that. Would making a pet a geisha be too...commonplace? There's got to be a ton on here, but I think it'd be a fun, pretty idea.
So let's see, I have 16 males and 16 females. I like things even.
Of those, I have these species: 1 Montre 1 Jollin 1 Priggle 1 Antlephore 1 Devonti 1 Kanis 2 Irions 1 Ruffie 1 Lasirus 1 Legeica 1 Manchu 1 Charlie 1 Ontra 1 Kumos 1 Torrey 1 Anyu 1 Cybill 1 Bhakoru 1 Pherret 1 Neela 1 Popoko 1 Paralix 1 Celinox 1 Common Exp. 1 Chai 1 Wyllop 1 Demi 1 Noktoa 1 Kerubi 1 Terracoon 1 Feli
I would like to make pets of the following species yet: Aeanoid, Chelon, Fester, Harvester, Magnus, Mortiking, Serpenth, Tutani (as a Whale Wars fanpet), Tigrean, and Xotl.
The only colors I don't have are Bloodred (because I'm not fond of blood and it doesn't fit any characters I have in mind), Cherry (haven't thought up a character yet, but I have the potion), Steamworks (I would love to make Tayah this, but can't afford it), Scribble (don't have any ideas), and Storm (was going to make Kaemin this since he's a storm god and all, but I love his Nightmare look too much).
The two pets I'm mainly working on/looking into changing are these:
Amri the Field Antlephore - I'm thinking about making him a flower gardener who lives outside Riverside and has taken over a dumpy, downtrodden forest. He saw people throwing trash there and stopped them and then decided to clean it up. He ended up staying after cleaning it up since he had nowhere to go anyways, and has begun planting all sorts of flowers there. He is a gentle soul and the little birds and forest critters of the area flock to him and see him as their protector, living in the garden around the area and perching on his antlers. (I'm not sure, however, if this is too close of a story to Solu's - he's a forest spirit/protector and his treasure is full of trees.)
Unnamed the Who-knows-what (My next pet lol) - Planning on my next pet yet as well, since I have the money for a new slot now. It could be any of the species I don't have...and I'd like to make her? him? Cherry for a color. I have absolutely no idea for a story or character or anything yet though. Everything I think of is too close to my other pets' ideas. For example, I was thinking of making a Whale Wars pet, but that would be so close to both Dubhdarra who is a sailor, and Kinya, who is a protector of ocean critters. So I don't know what I want to do. I'm not sure though, if I want to get a new pet yet until I can afford two slots though, as I like things to be even.
VV Story I just wrote for my new pet. I think I like it! VV

I’m sure you’ve all read those stories about girls born to families of wealth and nobility, princesses even, girls who are unhappy with their life, girls who want adventure, girls who think all the servants and jewels and gowns and parties are boring and stifling. Me? I am NOT one of those girls. I happen to enjoy the life of privilege and importance I had the good luck to be born to and I honestly see no reason why I should not continue to do so.
What is there not to enjoy about the life of a princess of the highest, most honorable house of Shengui Guo? There are balls with dancing, beautiful music, young gentlemen (and even some ladies) begging dances, bowing and curtsying, new gowns for every single ball even! My gowns are made of the finest silks, my hair combs and jewelry glitter with every jewel imaginable, my suite of rooms is the finest in the castle, my horse is a stunning white mare who can jump over any obstacle, the food is only the best of any land, and I have servants to wait on my every want and need. When I want something? A new hair comb, fresh flowers for my bedside, even a simple cup of tea, all I need do is ring a bell and it is mine. I don’t have to clean my rooms, nor my horse’s stable, I need not iron or wash my own clothes, nor cook my own food…a princess musn’t dirty her hands with such trivialities. I even get to sit in on important meetings of state and council forums to help decide the fate of our lovely mountain kingdom.
I realize, of course, that I sound vain, spoiled. And I suppose that I am. After all, I am a princess, third in line to the throne after my elder brother. But why does being vain and spoilt need to be a bad thing? I am not a rude girl, I am quite the polite young lady, even to those that I do not exactly care for. And I would never talk down to the servants – some of them even happen to be my friends. And do I use my power for begetting more power, becoming drunk with it as I have heard some do? No, I do not and I would never. The honest truth is that my greatest wish in life is to use my station, my power, to make my kingdom a better place and to help as many of my citizens as I can. I simply do not see a reason to not enjoy the finer things in life while I do so.
