P.S. I call Draikeliah Keli for short
P.P.S. I use smilies and emoticons... a lot... =P

About Me


Hi. ^-^ Those who know me usually call me Moo, but I answer to numerous other names. The list goes on, so practically anything's fine =P So, again, hi. I am currently 13, and just finished up my last year of middle school (Yay). In the 'real world', I like drawing, hanging out with my friends, or any of that other fun stuff teenagers are supposed to do.
I live with my mom, step-dad, sister, and grandma along with our many pets. Every so often, I get to visit my real dad along with my step-mom, two step-brothers (-shudder-), and step-sister. I'm in my school's choir, enjoy acting, and hope to pass these talents onto high school. I know I might seem younger than others, but I've been playing neopets since I was 8 (5 years, for those are a bit slow at math). I know the ins and outs of this place, and think I would make a really good owner for Draikeliah :3

Why?


Here's the big question:
Why do I want Keli?
For starters, she's a Draik. They're expensive, beautiful, and awesome all at the same time. I've wanted one since the day they came out. But since I wasn't quick enough to Create-A-Pet, or patient enough to save up for one, it's only been a dream. ^-^;
She has a nice name. There's no _ or numbers in her name, so that's always a big plus. It's simple, and again, just a nice name. And with the nickname Keli, I still like it just as much.
Finally, she's just great. End of story.

Plans


If/when I should get Keli, I have quite a few things in store for her. First, I would paint her White. I'm currently saving up for the Paint Brush now, and should have it up in my gallery pretty soon. Second, I would attach her Petpet, and any sort of accessories or clothing I've gotton for her. After that, we'll try to get settled in with a Pet Page, layout, and all of that fun stuff. As of yet, I have never entered the Beauty Contest. But with Keli, I think she would be a great pet to start out with ^-^ I've heard how tough the Draik category can be, but I might as well give it a shot. After all else is done, it's off to the Neoboards for roleplays! :3

Why Me


Here's the fun part, convincing you on why I should be Draikeliah's new owner.
Well, I guess to start things off, I'm very active. I always try to make sure my pets are full of foody goodness and are happy. I buy toys, and make 'em eat omelettes 'till they burst (Is that a good thing? x3).
Like I said before, I roleplay often, so that's a plus for her =) I consider myself a high semi-literate, so, yay =D I draw often, and try to scan in as many as possible (Lord knows I've failed at that ^-^;) So... yeah!

Why Not Me


More fun stuff! Why you shouldn't pick me to be Keli's owner! (Yay) I do have somewhat of a life outside of Neopets, so I won't be around the clock, on-duty, to make sure Keli is always bloated and delighted. Heck, I don't do that with Twii (Try, but usually don't).
Due to often laziness, I don't role play. A bad habit I'm attempting to get out of. True, I do draw a lot, but they're just little doodles on the side of my notebook that I never scan. Even nice pictures on plain white paper ^-^;
And finally, I just got out of school. Usually that's a good thing, but that means we'll all try to get out of the house more, and spend more time together (Meaning: Away from the laptop). And my sister's leaving for college soon. There will be packing, going out more, and spending more time together, as stated in the previous sentence.

Zephyrdracs


Zephyrdracs are a rare species of Draiks, Krawks, Hissis, Shoyrus, or Schorchios, with four pairs of wings. With two on their back, and the other other two on their arms, they're are able to fly much higher and faster than other pets.
Their ancestors once living in packs of ten or more, they split up when war first broke out around their original home (Beleived to be the mountains of Shenku). Some prefer living on their own, while others are trying to return the packs.

Story


Chapter 1: The Egg
Her beginning was like anyone else's. She had a father, she had a mother, as so many do. A single nest rested upon one of the stray branches of the only tree on the mountain. One egg, light blue with a single stripe running around the shell. While the others shared the same colors, but the markings were done in their own unique way. Her mother, with four pairs of bat-like wings, her scales were the same shade as the day-time sky. And her father, with feathered wings upon his back and arms, wore a white fur pelt with pride. Both very proud of their soon-to-be children, dark clouds began to fill the sky. A single drop of water cascading down from the heavens, many more began to follow after it as the storm began. The wind began to blow faster and harder, both parents terrified for themselves and their children. The nest beginnig to stray from it's spot in the tree, the two Zephyrdracs quickly began to gather their eggs. But alas, with five children and only four arms, the final egg was left behind as strusture of branches and feathers got caught in the wind. Her mother's instinct's realizing the terrible moment, held on tightly to the remaining eggs she held, and jumped after the nest. The egg still nestled safely inside, the nest slowly began to make its way down to the dark ocean below. Waves growing larger as the storm raged, the nest gently touched the raging waters, somehow merely drifting along the rough waters. The visibility growing dim, her mother turned around while the mountain was still in sight, tears escaping from her eyes.

While none ever knew what exactly happened to the egg or the other Zephyrdracs, it is said that the waters carried the nest to a small island directly beneath Faerieland. As for the young one's family? It is beleived they all died in the storm.


Chapter 2: The City
Although protected from the harsh waves, the egg arrived upon the island cracked from debris that could be found flying through the air. Inhabitants of the island claim that the storm ceased as soon as the egg touched the sands of the shore. As the sky returned to its original color, another large crack could be found across the shell. A tiny paw emerging from inside, wet feathers began to show themselves as an arm extended out. A small body beginning to show itself, fur covered its small face. Eyes still closed and wiggling across the remains of its previous home, the babe began to squawk out. At this sound, it is said that nearly all of the pets living on the island came out to see the crying Draik. An Eyrie the one to take care of her, the child soon was able to open her eyes and crawl. Still bound to the ground for being so young, that didn't stop the Draik from always jumping from her and there attempting to become air borne. Although the Eyrie was always able to catch her, after she turned one year of age, the two traveled up the only mountain on the island.

The Draik first learning to fly with the wings on her back, after she had gained more control, she had learned to use use all four of her wings. With the extra pair of feathers, she was able to out-fly her guardian even at such a young age. The moutain climbing up all the way to Faerieland, no Neopet living on the small island had been ever to climb to the top. But the Zephyrdrac was determined to meet the other pets who could fly just as she could. Easily climbing to the spot she first flew at, it was less than halfway up. Waving a final goodbye to her fellows below her, she made off to a quick start up the rocky structure. As if to help her, the wind began to pick up as she flew farther up the tall mountain. Nearly 6,000 feet from the ground, she knew she had to already have gone farther than any of the other pets had gone. Climbing even higher into the bright blue sky, the young Draik began to tire out. With another response from the wind, she merely spread her wings as she was carried into the clouds. The journey continuing on for most of the day, the sun made contact with the horizon as she reached the famous city. The wind almost imediately dying down as she reached her destination, she fell onto the soft cloud below her a slept.


Chapter 3: The Wind
Awaking in the same spot she slept in, the hustle and bustle of the city she heard so much about was currently in progress. Numerous species of pets flying through the air on their own pairs of wings, the Draik gave a grin as she saw this. Quickly standing up on her hind legs, she leaped into the air to join the other Neopets. The air filled with talk and laughter, the Zephyrdrac soon perched herself atop the roof of the Employment Agency. The wind once again beginning to pick up, a voice rang in her ears. Looking around, the only pets able to fly were quite a ways away. A large gust of wind blowing the fur on her tail, the voice now seemed to be yelling.

Are you the one!?

Her eyes growing wide, she quickly flew from her perch to the outskirts of the city. Clutching her head with her paws in fear, the wind was now a gentle breeze. A small gust seeming to intertwine itself with the cowering Draik, the Neopet gave another look around as she felt a touch.

You can hear me...

The mysterious voice was heard once more. Her feathers ruffling from the blowing wind, the Zephyrdrac began to grasp the situation. Giving a nod, she held out a paw. Although nothing there, she felt the touch once more.

No one knows it, but everything is alive. You just have to listen.

Giving a slight smile, the Draik gave a second nod.

Young one, I'd like to raise you high. Because I think everyone deserves the chance to fly. And helping with your ascent allows me to feel so... parental. Because I am a sentimental... man...


Chapter 4: The Name
After that fateful moment, the Draik almost never ventured into the city. Always staying in the outskirts with only clouds, she was often found holding conversations with what looked like no one. Rarely touching the ground, she had learned many new tricks and other ways to fly from her new Mentor. Interacting with no one but the air, the Zephyrdrac had learned to need none but herself and the wind all around her. Another year passing above the clouds, the Draik herself noticed after more than 730 days of life, she had yet to acquire a name. Refusing to name herself, she asked the one who was closest to a parent. After a long pause, a gentle breeze brushed against her fur

My dear, perhaps a name such as Keliah could suit one such as you. Yes... Keli... Draikeliah...

Although it might have been because none she ever knew had ever acquired a name of their own, but she adored the name her Mentor had given.
Then from this day foreward, I shall be known as Draikeliah,"
She stated, a grin on her face

Design
Due to color laziness, the main picture is left in grey and white ^-^;
Basically, Keli has four wings, two on her back and the other two are her arms. All of her fingers/toes are white, with a bit of blue with them.She has one long stripe going down her back, it's a bit jagged-ey at the top, and spreads out to her tail at the bottom, which has a white tip =3
